Color Trend Alert: 12 Bathrooms with Fixtures that are Everything but White

January 8, 2026

Until recently pastel bathroom fixtures fell under the same to-be-avoided category as plastic sofa covers and Hummel figurines.

Here, 12 bathrooms that make playful and even elegant use of colorful porcelain, new and vintage. Your granny would approve.
