Comments (0)I just purchased a home and I am looking to paint my guest bathroom to get rid of the bright blue shown on the picture. The red tile makes it difficult for me to find the perfect paint color. If anyone has any suggestion on a specific paint color, please let me know : ) Thank you!

Comments (21)Since you're changing the floor, I'd change the vanity and leave the tiled tub for now. Tiling a tub is a big expense, and it can be hidden behind a shower curtain. For the floor, you could use LVT, something like Armstrong Alterna or Congoleum Duraceramic. It's warmer and softer than ceramic tile and can be laid right over sheet vinyl and grouted for a ceramic tile look. You'd want tile to go under your vanity. Vanities have gotten taller. If yours is short, I'd replace it with a 34" H vanity. You could buy a sink base and three drawer cabinet from one of the RTA places. I'm most familiar with Barker Cabinets. If you want to keep the vanity, you could order new full overlay doors and drawer fronts from Barkers. You could paint the frame and purchase painted doors and drawer fronts. They offer a medium stain too. That way you can coordinate your counter, floor, and vanity color without being tied to the golden brown color scheme of the tile. I'd also cover that odd niche with a large mirror....See MoreNeed Help - Blue Staining on Bathroom Marble Tile
