elements of the decor. Go to a fabric store and buy some fabric. Sew yourself a shower curtain with all the colors you like in it.

3. Loved the color in our old house.
We had it painted a beautiful periwinkle blue, with a very strong purple tone. With white trim it just looked so fresh and cheery. It was a large bathroom with high ceilings so I'm not sure how overpowering that color would look in a smaller space.

5. Are you going to *ahem* be seen in this bathroom?


Then you will want warm tones, and warm lighting, to enhance your skin tone and create an inviting atmosphere. Cold colors (blues and greens) will accentuate blemishes, etc.
