Design Dilemma Bathrooms Lighting

Help me finish my bathroom!.

3 years ago

Please! Would someone like to help me find the perfect color for my bathroom walls? I’m also looking for a 48 inch vanity. I would love a vessel sink. However, I don’t want to go over 900$ color- gray? White? Blue. I purchased a led mirror. Should I add pendants or wall lights... I know these have a name drawing a blank. So many options. It’s overwhelming. Help n

My suggestion is that you not worry too much about your paint colour until you have selected other fixtures for your bathroom. Remember, paint comes in hundreds of shades but not the furniture and fixtures you want. I am hesitant to suggest a paint colour until then. The beauty of this will be to have a photo of your fixtures and finishes with you when you shop for a colour. It will make your task much easier.

My two cents worth.

Sorry that tile combo gives me a headache and paint color is always best left to the end of a design. Get some proper LED lighting in 4000K in there too.

BusyBBB, thats what I like about the sea salt, the depth. I just didn't know if it would be over kill with the look, I have never seen anything in the finish as large as a tub. The toilet will be several feet away from the tub and there will be a cabinet braking the proximity too. I am glad to hear of your success with the finish. I'm going to try the paint switch on my drawing. Yayagal, Thanks for your feedback - "blends beautifully". I am now just ready to sit down and play with the colors and switch them on my drawing, like what BusyB proposed above. When I was at the paint shop last week there was a deep red brown wood sample for a blind that I put near the samples and the whole thing "sang". I am wondering how to get that reddish deep purplish brown in the mix.

OH! THANK YOU! I am so loving ALL your ideas and suggestions, and believe me, I am seriously considering each and every one of them! OK... so I cut out some sheets of paper the sizes of the pictures we have been considering. The 4 pieces of paper on the long wall represent the four 13.5" Sturbridge ("4 Seasons") prints. I think they fill the wall nicely! The 2 pieces of paper above the toilet represent the two 8" x 10" Warren Kible prints (the cat and the pig). (Boo seems to approve!!!) THEN, I'll change out the toilet seat (probably a plain white one... or maybe black???), and maybe replace the magazine holder with something like this... ... and call it *DONE*!!! So, what do you guys think?! And remember, you can be BRUTALLY honest!!! Really! ;o)

I like the door painted white Ã¯Â¿Â½ it makes the natural wood cabinet over the toilet more like artwork. A wide, wall-to-wall shelf above that cabinet could hold neatly folded towels, but that doesnÃ¯Â¿Â½t sound needed. I have the same toothbrush holder, so I must like it. IÃ¯Â¿Â½d place it on a glass shelf mounted to the wall on right of medicine cabinet, and hang the hand towel bar on the left side of vanity. Because the toilet is off-center, IÃ¯Â¿Â½d hang towel bars only on the left side wall. I think that would probably look neater as well. Or you could hang a swivel style towel rack that might accommodate more towels. Do the four of you include younger kids? Since they probably could not reach the high towel bars, a floor towel bar like this, placed at vanity corner, could be useful. I love radiators Ã¯Â¿Â½ especially for drying towels. A variation would be to install a towel bar that curves over the radiator, so towels can be stored there neatly. You would need a towel bar that projects the depth of the radiator, or a custom install. This is not deep, but I like the concept. There are dual-rod shower curtain rods(both straight and curved) that allow you to hang towels on the outside of the shower.

The tile with the gray streaking is beautiful. It is bold and on several surfaces, so if you use additional tiled surfaces, think of pulling the white from this tile, and use a tile in this colour ie. to replace the dark dark one in your picture. Any tile you use now should have simple pattern with the white from your "marble" looking tile. It will make your bathroom appear and feel larger. Do you have any idea what type of finish and style you want for your fixtures or cabinetry? Post any pictures you have.
