I need help with picking a white for my bathroom.

7 years ago

Hello. We are remodeling our bathroom. I've picked white Kohler fixtures and a grey vinyl tile for the floor. I am looking for a Sherwin Williams white, as that is the paint my cabinet maker uses. The vanity and a cabinet will be painted this color, as well as some bead board that is in the room. I want a somewhat warm white that will go with the white fixtures. Just not too yellow. I am having trouble picking something, so wondering if anyone can offer some advice. Thank you.

I have SW ivory lace trim in our mbath... I chose it because it looked nice with the tile we have, but it looks fine with our white kohler sinks and the toilet. it is a warm white without being too yellow. our cabinets are a med-dark brown and the tile has some grays/greige and white colors in it.

I used SW Pure White in a fair amount of rooms in our home. I really like it a lot. It hasn't turned yellow or creamy in any light or exposure & it's not 'harsh' on the eyes like some whites can be.

kmcg85- Love that pink! It definately has that cheerful look about it. But I'm not sure it will match with the pink in the comforter. I took my comforter to SW and the interior designer there matched the other colors with it, because I am not good at choosing colors. busybee3- Ice plant looked alittle on the purplish side with the comforter. The window treatments are the same ones that come with the comforter set, valance and Black and white polka dot drapes. I'm planning on doing alot of black and white polka dot accessories. lori111- Thanks! If it was up to me I would do soft white walls, but dd REALLY wants pink walls!

How about not painting anything and just putting up loads of painting and photos (obviously one's that don't mind stream) - almost everything looks great on a white background especially if the frames are coloured. You could really go for it and make an eclectic yet sleak/clean white bathroom. Just an idea....little blast of colour everywhere, all different sized works.

Pretty much my whole house is SW Alabaster, I love it. It is very warm. My house has lots of natural light and woodwork.
