Please help me with bathroom paint color...please?
Comments (20)Thank you so much everybody! I LOVE the cabinets painted in the Bittersweet Chocolate so that is a definite (and moonshadow, thank you so much for posting the instructions!) I will also check into all the colors that everyone suggested. I had sampled Sea Salt on my wall and it looked very "baby blue" to me (again it is just a sample and still in my awful lighting). A few years ago, I had painted what I thought was a definite grey-blue on the walls. When all was said and done, it was a "baby blue". I really hated it. I lived with it for a couple of years and then redid the bathroom (in country wallpaper etc. which I have now come to hate too!) That is probably why I am trying to capture the perfect greenish tone in the paint because my family will think I have lost it if I paint and it turns "baby blue"... Thanks, again, everybody. It looks like I have some researching to do!...See MoreNeed help with bathroom colors, please
Comments (11)I'm thinking along the lines of Kswl. With no natural light and a low ceiling, I'd go as light as possible. If you have one loose tile, your paint store can match the color exactly. Then you could have them add a small bit of white, which would lighten the almond and be a slight contrast and still set off the cabs. Then you could have any color scheme in accessories that you like. A friend of mine has a tiny bath with no windows. She bought an inexpensive print of an exterior view from a window and put it in old, sort of rustic wood frame. Then she hung a small mirror on the opposite wall. Presto! It looks like she has two windows and it enlarges the space....See MoreHelp with Bathroom color! up to my ears in Beige/Tan/Khaki!
Comments (11)I would take the paint back to the store and tell them that it is a nice color but too dark. Depending on the base they started with they may be able to help you by adding a quart or ratio of same base white. It can be iffy, my daughter has done it several times with success. The downfall would probably be you would never be able to match it again....See MorePaint color suggestions for my dated beige/almond bathroom
Comments (48)Thank you again to all the people who commented on this post! I wanted to share the "after" picture. I chose Mindful Gray by SW. I tried so many colors, and many grays, and this seemed to work the best. I moved the light fixture higher on the wall and bought a new, larger medicine cabinet from Pottery Barn (I had a gift card and put it to good use). I also installed 2 high hat ceiling lights. I'm very happy with the outcome....overall its not perfect but definitely better than where I started without spending more than a few hundred dollars....See Morerecordaras
