Metal and neutral bathroom accessories work well with pink fixtures.
Selecting accessories to complement your basic bathroom fixtures creates a harmonious room design. A room featuring a pink bathroom sink, toilet and tub offers a limited range of choices for decorating. While pink bathroom fixtures were once popular, a pink toilet, sink and tub tend to dominate the room. To update a pink bathroom, geometric patterns or accessories in neutral colors offer a contemporary look. Playing up the pink-dominated bathroom with solid-color decorative accents provides the means to make the most of the color scheme.
Instructions
1. Change the toilet seat to black or wood. This will help break up the pink. Black allows you to create either a vintage or a contemporary look in the bathroom. A wooden toilet seat -- for example, an oak seat -- provides the contrast of a natural material and coordinates well with a spa look of natural materials and neutral colors.
2. Add a rug to the bathroom. Select a geometric pattern, such as black and white squares or a solid neutral-color rug, such as a tan rug to coordinate with an oak toilet seat.
3. Select a scarf or fabric place mat in a neutral color to drape over the top of the toilet tank. Neutral colors include black, white, cream and shades of tan, gray, brown and taupe.
4. Add accessories such as a toothbrush holder, wastebasket and vase in metal or a neutral color to coordinate with the other new elements of your bathroom decor. A set of accessories will provide contrast to the pink fixtures. For example, add chrome accessories, pottery or crocks. Set the toothbrush holder on the sink, the wastebasket near the toilet and the vase on the toilet tank or next to the sink.
5. Drape a neutral bathmat over the edge of the pink bathtub to break up the solid pink color. Add a matching shower curtain, if you have the type of shower or tub-and-shower combination that requires a curtain.
