(Bathroom) Paint Help for the Paint Challanged
I can hold my own when it comes other aspects of remodeling but when it's time to choose a paint color...forget about it! And this one is going to be tuff. The granite will be on my husband's 36" long vanity in his bathroom. The rm size is 5x8. I need a paint color that won't look anemic and boring with this bold granite. Nothing else has been picked out yet but the vanity will be a med stain and the porcelain wood planks will be med. This bathroom opens up to a bedroom painted in med sage green but accessories are rich autumn colors. The whole house is darker rich tones. Every room includes a splash of orange. The Cowboy Chic den has walls of a burnished pumpkin. I'm not afraid of color :) Don't want it to be too dark but it needs to hold it's own in there. I'll have plenty of lighting. I'm strongly considering this glass sink in undermount. If I don't get it, there will be a white undermount. Tub surround tile hasn't been considered yet. The last granite picture is the most accurate as far as coloring/shading. And one last thing. Can someone ID the fauct in the upper right corner?
Thanks!
Monica

Help - Paint or Spray Bathroom Cabinets? And Which Paint to Use?
Comments (8)If you like BM, then use their Advanced paint - it's water based and levels beautifully. I used CabinetCoat as my primer and Advanced as my regular paint on my kitchen cabinets over five years ago and they still look great. I have literally scraped dried food off my cabinets (who knows old long it was there lol) and the paint has never chipped. I did sand and prime (prep work is important). If you're hiring a "pro" he should know what he's doing... No guarantees lol but he should be able to paint.. When I tackled my kitchen cabinets I hadn't painted since 6th grade... and everything turned out fine. I used quality paint, nice brushes and took my time....See Moreneed help with bathroom . paint color? sconces? mirror? ship lap? help
Comments (3)Okay maybe I’ll go back to original color (creamy). The walls were white before, but it felt very plain to me. Can I use a chandelier or pendant if there’s a shower in there? There’s not enough room for sconces ......See MoreBathroom paint colour help... including ceiling!
Comments (7)On colors, I think SW bagel might be a little rich and warm. I think a very low saturated sage or cream would work. Perhaps even a lighter version of the same hue you have now. Since you'll likely be taking things down to paint are you doing something with the medicine cabinet? Do you have enough storage w/o it? Would be good to see vanity as well. BTW, that tile doesn't bother me unless there is something we can't see in the photos....See MoreHelp Choosing Bathroom Paint Color
Comments (4)That is a seriously visually overpowering tile. Either do everything there is in it, or ditch it entirely. It doesn't look good with other things trying to steal it's spotlight....See MoreUser

9 years agoBM Roxbury Caramel. Or something in that family. Not as orange as buttered yam. This is our powder room. The stone isn't as bold as yours, but I tried many samples before getting it right with the copper sink and fixtures. I still haven't replaced the mirror!
