An earthy shade of green can breathe fresh life into a stuffy bathroom by evoking the soothing spirit of the great outdoors. Case in point: Ashley Petrone’s petite olive green powder room, where she painted everything from the walls and trims to the toilet paper holder Daily Greens, creating a calming atmosphere that doesn’t skimp on color.

Embrace the angles of an under-stair powder room by painting the space in a daring hue à la Jennifer Koran. Instead of leaving the paneled walls and sloped ceiling of her—gasp!—19-inch wide powder room neutral, she enveloped the space in Instagram’s favorite deep green Current Mood to forge a cozy, cocoon-like effect.
Don’t forget to paint the door
