Sometimes the best thing you can do in a small space with limited light is to embrace the darkness. Go for a dark, bold color- navy, emerald green, even red.

Also, I wouldn't ruin your hardwood by making it gray (a trend that is already very close to dead).

If it's a cheap laminate don't worry about it then. I'd still recommend staying away from any gray wood looks, but a gray tile or another lighter color would be fine.

I second the admonition about grey being in its death throes and embracing a dark color. A nice navy blue would be fabulous with a white vanity. Maybe a touch of brass for the mirror. Good luck with your project.

We’re in the midst of renovating our attic into a master suite. The master bathroom isn’t very big, is windowless, and has a sloped ceiling over part of it. We went with a color somewhat similar to SW Comfort Gray, or almost an exact match to Gina’s Eyes, which I believe Valspar makes. (We used some oops Paint we had on hand, so I can’t get very specific on the color.)

Since your room next to it is dark, I would stick with an all white bathroom, and find a colorful or unique mirror and lighting for interest. You could also use a wallpaper with a light background, which will give you the illusion of depth.

I don’t have personal experience with it, but from what I’ve read, SW Sea Salt is very pretty, but doesn’t shine as a great color in low light rooms. So, you might want to research that one a little bit.

I looked up the colors online that you are considering, and think Oyster Bay (which is on the same strip as the colors you are considering) is quite close to what we used in our bathroom, probably a closer match than comfort gray. One of the colors SW recommends as a coordinating color to Oyster Bay is Prairie Grass. That color is not unlike your couches and carpet in the living room. One nice way to get a good flow between rooms is to flip flop main colors and accent colors. So, Prairie Grass might be nice in the bathroom, if you are open to it, since it would carry that warm light brown from the living room into the bathroom, and wouldn’t repeat the greenish gray of the living room.

Hang a ceiling to floor mirror on the back wall. This will make it look larger. I would have fun with the floor. Powder rooms are suppose to be a surprise! How about a vintage mosaic design. Lots of things you can do!

A tiny room is an wallpaper opportunity. White for fixtures and vanity. Pick something with a large size print.

I agree about the wallpaper. Powder rooms are a perfect opportunity to get creative. There’s probably a bold color/print you’ve always loved, but you’ve never had the guts to use it. Here’s your chance!

I agree with the others. I would wallpaper and have one of the walls mirrored or at least a portion of it. I have a very small half bath and I was super concerned with it as we were building. I put wainscoting on the bottom portion and mirrored the half above the sink. It is amazing how large the bathroom seems now. I am also getting ready to wallpaper the top portion. So I say, "Go for it!"

This is not my bathroom, but my inspiration photo.

I have a pedestal sink. I also got a more narrow one to again make the room larger. The brand was Vitra.

Really light with just tiny pops of subtle colors like light aqua or light blue, OR crazy dark. It is the perfect place to have FUN with it

My pedestal sink is more like the one Melissa shows in her pictures. I also agree with doing a fun wallpaper. I am planning on one that incorporates cherry blossoms.

Also, now that I see the way your bathroom used to look with the red wallpaper, I am totally seeing a tile or wood wainscoting around the bottom. It would be perfect for that!

How about a photomural ... either urban or forest path.

me too! if you guys have any wall paper suggestions that are similar to the one in mom2sulu pic that would be great. since I was going for a light green color that actually fits the scheme

that is pretty cool

This is the website where I found my wallpaper. I had a good shopping experience with them and received my paper within a week. (Hopefully, I will get mine up in the next couple weeks!)

Here is a good start on looking for your greens.

The wallpaper idea is awesome!

I also think no pedestal sink so you can have some storage for extra toilet paper, etc.

I immediately thought of wallpaper when looking at your space. As a lover of all things Sarah Richardson, I thought of a wallpaper with trees and birds she used in a small bath. Someday I'm going to convince DH that wallpaper is a good thing (again). On my way of finding photos of that, I came across another possibility.

This is the paper I hope to someday have. LINK.

I love that bird paper! It would look lovely in her space.

Walk in shower?

I would faux silver leaf the entire thing...

LOVE it!!!! Wow, what a difference!

That’s so pretty, adoptbuffalopups! What color did you end up choosing?

Huge improvement, good job!
