Help! Beige/Tan bathroom paint color suggestions?
Comments (6)Thanks chefmom! I have to check out a swatch of Barely Beige in person but I think it might be a little lighter than what we want. I'm still loving Shaker Beige, but not sure it's the "right" beige for the colors in our bathroom. The same for Everlasting. I think the others I mentioned are probably too dark for a small space with little natural light. Please keep the opinions/suggestions coming! Thanks!...See MoreBathroom paint advice (lots of wood/almond/gold)
Comments (2)I can't help with color. I tend to chose "bright and bold" myself and that's a bit against the current popular trends. I will say this about the metal tub trim, for what it's worth. I had similar trim surrounding the main tub when we lived on the base. The Housing Office let me remove the glass doors - no way was I going to try to keep them clean - but that left the metal frame that hurt my foot every time I got in the shower, was the devil to clean, and was very uncomfortable to lean over and against in order to clean the tub. I got out the power screwdriver and removed all of it. Yes, it left a few holes along the tub, and three up each side of the tiled walls, but I carefully filled them with caulk and never gave it a second thought. The small filled holes were much less bothersome than the frame. There was no water damage, and believe me, before we moved the housing inspectors tried their best to find some, LOL. Since our house was scheduled for demolition once we retired, I did not have to replace the glass doors and frames that I had carefully and thoroughly cleaned, wrapped, and stored in the basement. So if you don't like the large expanse of gold trim around the tub, and you don't mind a few dots of caulk, remove it. You'll more than likely be very pleased with the results. I have that very same cabinet over the toilet in our basement bathroom. It's as sturdy as can be, very well made, very useful, etc...so I just decided to embrace it's '60s glory and use it as is. You could change the handles and switch out the sink faucet. Once you pick a paint, remove the tub trim, and maybe change the faucet you can just celebrate having a functioning and not-bad-at-all bathroom....See MoreWarmer paint color to go with beige bathroom tile?
Comments (6)Simply White has a yellow tone. The tile has an orange tone. If you stick with colors with tones of yellow to orange, no matter how light or gray they are, they will work. 903 Pirates Cove Peach is a near match to the tile. I split the difference in tones between the tile and Simply White, then increased the saturation to get both 176 Goldtone and AF-305 Ylang Ylang from Benjamin Moore. Below is a photo showing all these colors on your wall. I cannot say that my color rendition is exact, nor can I say that your monitor will produce these colors the same way mine does. However, I found the color names for those I produced via an online program called Easy RGB....See MorePaint Color for Boring Beige Bathroom
Comments (14)I kinda like the wood doors in our house. It looks darker in that photo than it really is. And they go with the mid-century modern-ness of the exterior doors that I love. Sure they're super inefficient and not safe at all, but I still love them....See MoreRelated Professionals
