Need help picking paint for bathroom
Heather-Alicia Cowan
6 years ago
We are renovating our master ensuite and eventually our powder room, both of which are smaller rooms without any windows. Living in a smaller town my selection of paint is limited, although I do have access to Benjamin Moore. Looking for a neutral paint colour that will work with the existing vinyl flooring and vanity, pictures attached to give an idea of the colour. I had originally painted the walls SICO Lime (Not a fan at all of this paint quality) and found it to be too purple, so I did a swatch of BM Wish hoping a light gray would do the trick and it basically the same colour that is on the wall now. Next up I tried BM Classic Gray and it is white and still not the right undertones. I was thinking about BM Revere Pewter but not sure if it would be too dark for the room. Any suggestions on a lighter neutral that will be friendly in a space with no natural light and complement existing fixtures?!
TIYA!

I would change the shower curtain and paint the vanity white. Paint looks good to me, on my monitor.

Comments (13)The Sweet Caroline is really pretty once it's up - I'm using it in my new baby's nursery now I liked it so much. Her room is still in progress (as is the girls' bathroom). I think it would go really in your 6-year old's room with the Betsy comforter, and it's a slightly more "mature" color so might work better with an older child. I have two girls (4 and 5 mos.) - it sounds like we're kind of doing the same thing in terms of linking their rooms. The baby has green (Sweet Caroline), 4 year old has the pink room, and the Jack-and-Jill bathroom in between is a blue-grey color (Sherwin Williams North Star - SW 6246). I did hex tiles on the floor, too, but with black accents. I decided to go a little more neutral with the bathroom since both the girls' rooms are pretty theme-y (once I finally finish them!). Aren't little girls fun?! Between decorating and buying cute clothes, though, I'm going broke, LOL.

Comments (6)orb = oil rubbed bronze My woodlawn bedroom is northeast facing so the light is not strong. It looks blue in the morning and greener late in the day and when the lights are on. I expect using a cooler color bulb would bring out the blue. With a small vanity you can go looking for a left over piece of stone for the counter top. Get an undermount sink to match the toilet. Check out Mirror Mate. They make custom cut frames that adhere to the existing mirror and look great for a modest price. I think the woodlawn would work well with the browns in the floor and vanity. You could also consider going with a green shade like BM Misted Green....See More- PRO
