A pop of blue can add a sophisticated touch to a plain white bathroom, no extra effort required. For a quick update to your cabinetry, add a fresh coat of paint, change up the hardware, and keep the rest of the room neutral. Complete the look with a streamlined mirror and wall sconces from Schoolhouse Electric for an industrial touch à la Lindsey Brooke Design.

2. Opt for a patterned backdrop.
For a blue bathroom cabinet idea that wows, pick a statement wallpaper to act as the perfect backdrop. The dark blue cabinet in this design by Shannon Eddings complements the pops of color in the botanical pattern on the wall, creating a whimsical English country aesthetic.

3. Top with marble.
Color adds a little bit of je ne sais quoi to the classic all-white look. Take this rich cobalt blue bathroom cabinet for example — paired with mixed metallic finishes, a marble countertop, and fresh white backdrop, the vanity area adds further depth and dimension to a contemporary design.

If the idea of blue bathroom cabinets makes you nervous, why not try a shade that just hints to the color instead? This design by Studio McGee has a coastal air to it, thanks to the barely-there blue vanity with polished chrome hardware, fresh white walls, and a large black mirror.
