Help coordinating bathroom paint with art
Comments (1)I don't know that this would go with your print - but BM Soft Fern is a beautiful green/grey. I have seen it painted in a beach house and I loved it. I tried to use it and in my house it looked blue/green/grey and I didn't want the blue in it so I didn't use it. The next color lighter on the sample strip is BM Silken Pine - that I have not seen but it looks pretty. BM Palladian Blue is gorgeous, that is in a friends laundry room and she has white beadboard, white cabinets and white washer/dryer - the color is beautiful against the white....See MoreArt Noveau Bathroom - Help Me Choose
Comments (7)I would not want those IKEA frames either... I would do a very simple round "silver" frame and stencil or paint curley art nouveau sort of tendrils on the pale creamed coffee walls... That dresser says country to me....not at all Nouveau. I think I would look for a simple plain chest of drawers paint it and have that very clever hubby of yours make some sort of decorative fret work to go on top....then start collecting old hand mirrors and such. I have that exact faucet set but not with a vessel sink. I sometimes get annoyed because I can't fit a small vase under it....or more specifically a plunger....my drain is running slow! For curtains or even a drape on a wall, consider voile tied here and there with bunches of flowers... And wouldn't a Rosetti print be lovely on one wall? Here is a link that might be useful: Rosetti paintings.......See MoreTile floor replacement for art deco bathroom
Comments (6)I am finishing up a remodel and looking for tiles for my balcony. Since I am in Los Angeles, the tiles don't need to be able to withstand frost but theoretically should be somewhat slip proof when wet - although I am not really that concerned since I don't use my balcony often and NEVER when it rains :-). However, I did check into Fireclay tiles and any of their tiles can be done with a slip resistant finish. You might check out their site and contact them. I wanted somewhat of an Art Deco feel for my bathrooms so a lot of my inspiration was bathrooms that either looked like yours with the colorful tiles or the classic New York City apartment black and white. I ultimately went with the classic marble small basket weave tiles with a black border. My wall tiles are a hand fired colored tile from Encore - ultimately I didn't go with a Deco wall tile design but picked up Deco from other elements in the bathroom like the sconces....See MoreNew bathroom - Need help with wall art
Comments (28)There are lots of great suggestions here. I love the idea of the black towel ladder and the shelves above the toilet Personally, I support the idea of art on your walls and I love your pallet. I understand the comment of selecting art/pictures via colour scheme. but I am going to suggest a different way of thinking about choosing art for your bathroom/ home. It may take time tho, to followup on my suggestions if you consider following them. I would just like to add that I grew up in a home that was filled with beautiful art. My parents could not afford the 'real' thing so my Mom cut beautiful pictures out of magazines, framed them inexpensively as she could, and hung them in groupings on our light pained walls. First your bathroom pallet is calm and restful. It will not compete with most art that you choose, but instead will create a back drop for the art. I see art as a relationship with you and the art. Art is personal and meaningful. I would scour art galleries and their artists on-line and in your area to see what type of art appeals to you and your husband. ( see note below) After finding out what you like, you may purchase a piece from a gallery, furniture store, an art auction ( fun!!!!!) , or grad shows/sales for art schools. ( I paid 300$ for one pice that I bought from an art school sale,) or painting guilds. If the art talks to you , it is is a sign that it belongs in your house. Good art stands on its own and does not need to be expensive and also just needs a neural backdrop to show it off. You have the neural. Generally people are consistent in choosing art they relate to, so the pieces you choose will have some consistency. What matters also is the space and placement ........you have to place your art. For above the towel rack, I would suggest a piece no wider than 5" on either side the of the towel rack and no higher than the top of the mirrors. If the art is wider, then it will not be "supported" and then it will add tension to the room. I'd suggest placing a piece of art between the mirrors . I would suggest that it be higher than the light switch, slightly lower than the lights in the light fixture and 4"to 6" or so from the edges the mirrors. I'd also put an art piece above the toilet. But that is me. I don't mind living in an art gallery look. If you are considering art just because you think might be a suggestion , but you love clocks, I think you should choose clocks. If you love clocks tho, than you would be following your heart and then I'd suggest you look up clocks on Houzz and see what people are doing as they decorate with clocks.I'dd recommend one clock between the mirrors, : fram the mirrors. and a grouping over the town rack and then place shelves over the toilet. CB2 has clocks, Chintz also had great clocks. Note: My contractor's wife said she and her husband had different art tastes, so I worked with them by listening to what they liked in art and looked for art on gallery websites. Long story short. I sent them images art that combined what they liked and they ended up choosing a piece that they both loved. On the other hand you both might like the same art or one of you might not care so you would have an easier task. I have a framed batik under glass, a stretched giclee canvas and a framed under glass relief in my two bathrooms and have has no issue with moisture from the showers /tub. If you don't put art between your mirrors I would recommend framing them. food for thought...............See MoreKitch4me
