It means that if you want your bathroom to never forget its nature, you can simply create a beadboard in a color that represents water. Cerulean is one of the best colors for this purpose so make sure you include it in your options.
2. Pear Bathroom Wainscoting for a Soothing Effect

Done? Now just finish everything by creating a gray beadboard. Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold your horses! Don’t just paint the beadboard with the same shade of gray you pick for the walls.
A lighter shade of gray will do better than one that’s exactly the same with the one coloring the walls. It will prevent your bathroom from looking too boring with just the same color all over.
22. A White Beadboard for a Classy Bathroom
Wishing for a classy look to grace your bathroom? You can create such look on your own without having to overexert yourself.

Paint your walls in dark blue and then hang a painting, or a framed photo, on one of it. For a more artistic look, you can install a not-too-bright wall light but not on each side of the painting.
