White is always classic whether it’s a kitchen, bedroom or living room design — and the same goes for bathrooms, whether it’s your primary or hall bathroom. Don’t think of a white bathroom as boring, think of it as a good investment and a versatile design choice.

“White is clean and crisp, it goes with everything, and if you want to bring in a pop of color or change it down the road — or get the house ready to sell — you don’t have to worry about polarizing buyers who don’t love lime green tile,” Normandy Designer Ashley Noethe says.

While white bathrooms are always on trend, and the look suits any size bathroom, Ashley observes that many white bathrooms tend to be on the smaller end of the spectrum. That’s likely because — besides the flexibility and resale benefits — a white bathroom can make a smaller bathroom feel bigger.

“Painting a smaller bathroom white makes it feel less cramped, especially since not a lot of bathrooms have windows,” Ashley says. “It gives the space a little room to breathe. Adding mirrors can also give a smaller bathroom more depth and help reflect light to brighten the area.”

White can also be a good choice for a bathroom since it symbolizes an emphasis on cleanliness, which is one of the main purposes of a bathroom — in part because it’s easy to know when a white bathroom needs to be cleaned. This is certainly something to consider in terms of your household and preferences.

With a white bathroom, you can accessorize however you want and change the look on a whim. “A white bathroom will never go out of style, even as trends come and go, white is constant,” Ashley says. “You can easily change the paint color or fixtures and suddenly it’s a whole new bathroom, so it’s a safe investment choice.”
