Custom bathroom cabinetry

Soft, low-contrast color scheme helps create the illusion of more space

“My layout for my bathroom is not a huge space. Should the color of my cabinets blend with the wall color, so that the room will appear larger?”

If your goal is to create the illusion of more space, then yes, have your cabinetry and walls in light colors, perhaps with cool pastel colors for accent. The result is low contrast, and tricks the eye in your favor. The combination also works because the colors appear to recede. (Generally speaking, warmer tones seem to advance towards you)
