What style of vanity? Could you do chrome knobs/pulls? In one of my bathrooms I mixed chrome plumbing fixtures with Amerock brand antique looking silver. A cool color to go with the cool color of the chrome. It might have been aged pewter finish. The other bathroom is more modern and I used polished chrome, in a very minimal edge pull.

With the scones, Chrome would be appropriate. Or something in a cool metal imho. I used chrome in both my farmhouse and modern bathrooms. Both styles looked good in the finish and goes with the room. My mirror in my contemporary bathroom is a beveled mirror on a walnut cabinet, so you don't see a frame, face on. You do see the walnut from the side. In my farmhouse bathroom, I went with a dark Hubberton Forge mirror in a steel that is a dark steel gray but is in the same tones as the rustic knobs. I have a couple of stainless steel grab bars in the farmhouse bathroom and you can see that the tone of stainless steel is warm, so watch that if you are using stainless anywhere. It isn't as warm/golden as nickel though.

Your red vanity will really stand out, so I'd give it some hardware that can carry the look. Though I'd keep the metals all in the same metal tone.

I would ditch the mosaic tile in shower. It doesn’t work with your other choices and will compete with your red vanity. Stick with chrome for linen closet etc and do the wood mirror

Enduring - you are confirming my original thought, the hardware and the lighting should all be chrome.

The vanity will be inset slab front doors and drawers, possibly with chunky/blocky leg detail. Kind of like this, except this looks rustic. Mine will be with three drawers on each end and a door or doors in the middle, and, red. This shows routed?(not sure that is the correct term) drawer pulls and I did consider that, but DH is messy and I would prefer to give him a handle to grab onto.

These are the sconces I picked. What do you think?

For the pulls, with chrome I would want texture, or DH will say, 'it's all too shiny"

I lust for this mirror from West Elm. Do you think it can work?

Hi cpartist, Can you elaborate on why you think the mosaic doesnt work with the other choices? I really like it. And, I have always liked the look of a shower where the back wall is small glass tile. In real life the colors work very well together, and I consider the floor tile to be quite neutral. Stylistically, all the choices are clean lines, except the tile.

I agree the mirror might be go in the wrong direction. Maybe I need to change that, and maybe even the sconces. I guess you can tell, I would like to keep the tile. :)

Share more of your thoughts please. I am interested in listening.

I love the tile too! I think with all of your straight lines the mirror throws off the cohesiveness of your other elements. I would either change the shape of the sconces, or hardware(round pull or cup pull etc.... something with roundness) if you want to keep the curvy mirror or just pick out a different shaped mirror.

It's the only brown in the bathroom and it's a busy pattern. Make your red vanity the star and let the other players be supporting players. Love your lighting choice. Not sure about the mirror. A lot will depend on the actual size. If the mirror is that large and the sconces that small, no, but I'm guessing they're not to scale so I believe they can work together.

And that's part of the problem. I don't have a problem with putting an accent tile in the shower. If you know me, I'm a huge fan of mixing patterns and colors. However I think this one is going to scream look at me because of the color. It's the same value as the vanity.

I personally would prefer one that has a bit more subtle color to work with the floors and walls and maybe has fabulous textures or shimmer or???

Cpartist, thanks for taking the time to give such a thorough answer. I agree it is a busy pattern, but the colors must nut be coming through on the monitor. It is actually back painted glass, gray, red, and sparkly silver. It is the inspiration for the red vanity.

I will continue to reflect on what you wrote. Again, thank you.

local how does the layout of your bathroom work? Is that back shower wall visible at all times? I like that tile a lot and generally I'm not a mosaic fan but that one is speaking to me and it looks like a great way to pull some of the color and weight of the vanity to another location in the room. I like the lights, and the idea of brushed chrome hardware - but nothing ordinary. It may take some digging to find something with the right vibe. And I'm not diggin' the vibe of that mirror - something is off there.

I think I'd prefer the mirror upside down. LOL.

Actually I do see the colors. And I do like the mosaic, but I'm not seeing it with the red vanity.

And like I said, it's not the color. It's the value, meaning that if you squint it will be as dark as the vanity. Value is how light or dark something is.

You'll have all white items with a wall of this tile, and then again all white with a red vanity. So my question is, if you want to still use the tile, how will you tie it all together?

I love the brighter red for the vanity.

I love what you just showed 2 posts above this-- (and I did really like that West Elm mirror but maybe not for this room.) I think the mirror you show in your latest rendition is perfect!

Your mock-up looks great and I love, love the red mirror.

Ok since you're having a shower curtain, I say put the tile up now that I see the layout. Love the vanity and the red mirror!

Thanks for all the help. Posting quickly as we are many hours into a power outage.

I think its the glossy white with the mosaic that is throwing me off (too many finishes?) On my monitor it looks as though the mosaic works well with the floor tiles. Maybe consider taking that up the wall it may play nicer with the mosaic and all the other elements
