Need help choosing bathroom vanity
Comments (4)While I think the wood idea is a lovely compliment to the brown-gold veins in the granite,what concerns me is that if the only darker tones are in the granite and the vanity, it may stand out as not belonging in the space. I think I would be inclined to go with a painted vanity, but in more of a vanilla or something a bit warmer than white, to work with your tile. I would not do the walls the same color as the granite, but instead a darker shade of the color, for interest. What color will your faucets, lights and doorknobs, etc. be? You could also enrich the space by choosing a deep color for your towels....See MoreHelp choosing bathroom colors - vanity and walls
Comments (14)nosoccermom, I have considered it, I saw your posts about it and yours looks great! I ordered the samples though and none really looked good in my rooms. The colors that company has are too busy and/or dark for these bathrooms, especially with the existing floor. However I did find some patterned vinyl contact papers I am considering - they have some other granite patterns and terrazzo and marble, too! Check these out: Terrazzo marble brown marble I just am having hard time envisioning an overall color scheme for some reason, I don't want to decide on the countertop without considering the floor and how the wall color will tie it together....See MoreHelp choosing vanity top and tile colors in bathroom
Comments (10)Well, I'd say you can easily recreate it. I think your inspiration picture bath has porcelain tiles..there is plenty of choice in the stores nowadays. If you pick white, or white and gray(like in certain marble or quartz that mimics it) countertop for the vanity, and do light gray porcelain tiles for example..you can go with bigger tiles for a modern look, or with smaller, for more traditional one. Porcelain tiles often also have texture that creates more friction-important in a place that gets wet. White and black or white and gray floor will look wonderful too, but probably a bit harder to keep clean. You can do this "chess board" look, or hex mosaics, or basketweave-I think it might look very cool in your house. But if you prefer one color on the floor-it will work perfectly well too. I'm saying "gray" because in my opinion it will play with a color of the vanity very nicely; I love this juxtaposition, but it can be anything really. What is the color of your hardwood floors? PS I don't think a white vanity is safer than any other vanity..:) It really depends on your preference, and on the house itself. But I must say-if you really love white, generally speaking, your choice immediately expands. I love colors-when it comes to materials, it gets trickier and more expensive. White and black or white and gray, or white and blue-that's where you have a sea of choices. Without overpaying. It is just so classic, and it's everywhere, and you can play with it to no end....See MoreI'm Stuck!!! Need help with guest bathroom...Please!!!
Comments (13)In our master bathroom, we have the same soapstone countertop and same tile floor. However, there is lots of natural light. Maybe the same painted wood backsplash? The master bathroom has the black windowsill and and black floor trim but has the light grey walls. I like the white wall idea for the guest bathroom to brighten up a small darker room. If I repaint the handles on the door black, and add black hardware, would I also leave the floor trim black? Or have it the same white as the doors and windowsill/trim? Also, I'm trying decide a plan of attack! It seems like this course might be logical.... Remove the backsplash (but how do I repair the drywall so it looks good?) Paint the walls white Remove the wallpaper and then make a decision Finally, decide on what to do with the vanity...See Morebac717
