All the best ideas to incorporate light blue, rich navy and other soothing shades into your space.

A few coats of paint can easily transform any room. That said, when it comes to bathrooms, many people stick with classic color schemes like clean whites, soft grays or timeless combos like black and white. But perhaps, nothing is quite as fitting as the color blue, often associated with calm and tranquility. For that reason, browse these inspiring blue bathrooms to give your space a spa-worthy upgrade.

From navy and baby blue to midnight and sky, there are a number of beautiful blues that you can incorporate into your bathroom's design, whether big or small. Play up the feeling of relaxation in the already soothing space by painting the walls in a light blue or installing peel-and-stick wallpaper that exudes a similar softness. Or if you'd rather make a single blue statement, consider lining the bathtub with teal tile, painting the vanity in an eye-catching hue or simply, dotting the shelves with vibrant decorative accents. No matter you're looking for, get all the inspiration you need by scrolling through the designs below.

Cover the lower half of your bathroom's walls with diagonal tiles to bring texture and color into your space. For added dimension, opt for tile with a balanced mix of lighter and darker shades, like the one shown here.

The touches of navy throughout this bathroom — from the underside of the tub to the window's curtain — bring the drama (and it's a perfect match for the gold accessories).

With warm blue hues and clean patterned lines, this wallpaper evokes a zen feeling. Keep the rest of the space completely white, so the blue can really pop.

A textured wall covering instantly enhances even the smallest bathroom. Add even more color with fresh flowers and decorative accents in contrasting hues.

By painting the walls blue, everything else in the room — the clawfoot tub, medicine cabinet and shower curtain — is given the space to shine.

Adding a coat of cool blue to the underside of your bathtub brings the illusion of a spa-like space.

Let your bathroom door do the talking. Paint the door bright blue, then keep the rest of the space neutral to stay true to the farmhouse aesthetic.
