What color should I paint my bathroom

3 years ago

The vanity is grey with a white top. I love dark bathrooms, I realized that with grey vanity I may not be able to go dark.

Is there a dark color that would work? What is the best color to use? I was also considering the new pink color that is BM new color for 2020. I will be renting out the space maybe pink is not a good color to use?

For rentals, stay neutral. You can do a light gray.

I think your bathroom would be perfectly gorgeous in shades of gray...take a look at the photos of this apartment in Manhattan from House Beautiful a month or two ago. I like rich color in bathrooms, myself...somehow it increases my sense of luxury, and of being safely enclosed and cushioned, while I'm taking care of myself. Here is a link that might be useful: NY apartment in shades of gray

What color should I paint my bathroom. I want a gray but the cabinets are so ugly and I know I can paint them but I’m remodeling soon and don’t wanna paint just to tear them down but I need some life to the walls

A warm off white would look very nice and was my initial thought. It's often my first thought for wall colour these days and I hesitate to suggest it because I worry it's a cop out of some kind. :P Get a test sample jar/can of whatever you're considering and paint it on a few inexpensive art canvas boards so you can try it out on all walls. Take your time to see the colour throughout a sunny and gloomy day's light.

Unfortunately, I don't think you will achieve "light and airy" with any combination of paint without changing the trim. There is nothing wrong with the color scheme that you have, and it works with the trim. My best advice would be to get large fluffy white towels and let them provide the "light and airy". Forget about painting the walls (except for covering up where you've already tested colors!)

Almost any color you like but keep in mind you are not doing this for you. I have no idea why you like a dark bathroom since IMO this and a kitchen need the best light possible

My favorite for a bathroom is SW Sea Salt.

I also like BM Quiet Moments. A friend had this color in her living room and it would be lovely in a bathroom.

I would match the tile and keep it neutral. Then your tenant can use towels, rugs, art, etc to add their favourite colour.
