Wall Color Suggestions
Comments (8)Red, Black and White, when combined are very sophisticated. You can paint most of your walls white and red in some areas. In rooms, you can also use black for the wall if it has a huge window. Red and white for the room is also a great interiors. I suggest to use black color lampshades in your house. Just make it sure that you use the proper lighting with these combination of colors to have great interiors....See MoreTo match/not to match floor tile and vanity
Comments (7)Hey. First of all good choice, I love grey! Second, I would go to none of these two options to be honest. I would say leave the grey floor tiles and go for an white, creamy modern vanity.
