At the risk of over generalizing, most people tend to fall into one of three categories. Those who chose ‘a’ most often can be classified as elegant and refined. Their bathrooms should reflect their upscale demeanor in pale hues of ivory, taupe, mauve and gray. Faux marble or Tuscany-inspired accessories, nickel-finish brass or chrome towel bars, and a tapestry fabric shower curtain add a certain panache, as does an assortment of calming bath oils and aromatherapy products. Vanilla and lavender candles complete the calming ambiance.

Those who most frequently selected ‘b’ tend to be earthy and environmentally aware. When decorating their bathrooms, the key word to keep in mind is green. A subtle palette of celadon, sage, loden and moss greens should be used to evoke the essence of ferns, leaves and grass. Their botanical refuges should also include lush green plants, a natural woven wood wastebasket, tea tree oil-inspired bath products, and pine and lime candles.

Those who most often opted for ‘c’ are extroverted and fun. For them, the sky’s the limit in terms of color. They can easily combine ocean hues of turquoise, marine blue and teal with sunset shades of yellow, orange and red. Add a tropical fish flower curtain and shell-shaped soap dish -- maybe even a flamingo bowl brush! Mango, pineapple and melon candles complete the island motif.
