Bathroom colours - suggestions please?
Comments (3)The bathroom we currently have is white and silver. White walls, white vanity, white shower head, white tiles, white walls, and silver fixtures. I hate it. I'm sure a clean look was what they were going for, but it looks institutional. UGH! So I decided, when we build our bathroom to do the complete opposite. We have a tall dark cherry dresser to hold stuff. The sink is a vessel. The vessel bracket which holds it onto the wall is antique copper. The walls will be buttery yellow (See Behr's melted butter). The fixtures are somewhere between bronze and antique copper. The tile pulling the reds and golds together is called Canyon Slate. It looks a lot like this Datile. As you can see, this is a warm muted earthy bathroom. It's not done yet, so I don't have pictures. We do have a white toilet and tub. They're not totally bright, so it's ok. Anything else would look dated, we think, so white it is....See Moresuggestions for my bathroom remodel please (pics included)
Comments (18)I think you've made great choices so far! For the counters, I think a lighter color would keep the room from getting too heavy, with the black vanity and dark gray floor. White granite would be awesome, though hard to find/expensive. Caesarstone nougat and Silestone Mont Blanc are colors to look at if you want a solid surface; just be sure to take the marble-like tile with you when you pick a counter, as the marble can run to the blue end of the spectrum, or the more cream-colored end. It can make a big difference in the overall color scheme. I really like recessed medicine cabinets, so think about whether your contractor could do that. Obviously lots cheaper to install would be a wall mounted cabinet, and those are easy to find in a style that compliments your vanity. If you want to stick with the craftsman style of your vanity, Home Depot has white medicine cabinets that would coordinate really well. And as said above, sconces that go on either side would be possible if you shrink the mirror. If your budget is tight, consider just putting some trim around the existing mirror to create a frame. Even though big mirrors are "out", they can be pretty nice to expand the illusion of space in a narrow room. And consider how the mirror is attached to your wall. If it's heavily glued, removing it will wreck the wall. Are you replacing the tile that's on the rest of the bathroom walls? As for paint, a very very pale aqua can look great with the cararra marble finishes. I'd be careful not to go too blue because it can look cold and/or garish. I actually would consider doing a dark gray wall, perhaps only on the top half if you're keeping tile on the lower half. If you use glossy paint, it can look very rich....See MorePlease help me with bathroom vanity issue!!!
Comments (11)Wildchild, please come to North Dakota and be my general contract manager! ...I'm not planning on a back splash piece behind the counter top. It will be the flat top only; that will save some depth. The walls will have ceramic tile. ...What is "coved"? The walls are going to be removed, so the plumber can easily install a wall-mounted facet. From the flat wall, coming toward the center of the sink, how far does the faucet need to reach in? ...Does the facuet lenght need to stop before or after the drain hole? ...How high should the faucet be above the counter top? The Kathryn undermount sink comes in two sizes. The first is Exterior dimensions: 23-3/4"L x 15-5/8"W Interior dimensions: 21-3/8"L x 13-1/8"W The second is: Exterior dimensions: 19-3/4"L x 15-5/8"W Interior dimensions: 17"L x 13"W Would this be too small for a useable bathroom sink for washing hands, faces, and brushing teeth? Also, Kohler offers a deeper (4 1/2 inches) 17x13 Katheryn sink without the overflow holes. Would this work in the bathroom? If I mush have overflow holes, I want them installed so you don't see them when you stand at the sink. I'm so glad I already purchased the toilet!...See MoreBathroom Vanity: Input Please
Comments (3)A closed cabinet for storage wouldn’t need the continual dusting maintenance and would provide more storage. What is the depth of the recess? The counter depth there? Reaching those shelves could be an issue....See MoreRelated Professionals
