Bathrooms, often the smallest room in the home, are also an opportunity to try out some more daring or fun projects that might be overwhelming in a larger space—

Recently browsing Plush Palate, I've been admiring the inspiration behind Crystal's current renovation. She's painting the bathroom with vertical black and white stripes. A bold choice, I found four other striped bathrooms with different color choices and varying style stripes.

Soft pastels, bold cool hues or citrus inspired — regardless, stripes in the bathroom are a statement choice. Depending on what mood you wish to establish, the right lighting and color are essential. Do you want a feminine girly bathroom, a unisex or a dark masculine powder room? Which do you prefer?
