Powder Room Paint & Vanity Dilema
I love the tile I had installed! I dislike everything else.
The tile background seems really beige. I used Custom Building Products Fusion Pro in Haystack for the grout and it blended very well.
The room has no windows and looks dark, drab, and cavernous. I used Benjamin Moore Thunder on the walls and White Dove for the trim. The contrast with the trim is too stark. I would love advice on another paint color.
I purchased a vanity too deep and too narrow for the space. I will be having a vanity custom built and would love advice on style and color.
I would also like some direction on fixtures and finishes.
My design style leans traditional.
Thank you!

Best height for powder room vanity
Comments (10)Hi ajsmama - I've been following your posts with interest because I'd like to do something similar, if I can find the right piece -- not easy. I've been looking for a while. Everything is either too shallow, too low, or too wide (for my small bathroom). Using a washstand will work out great, if you can solve the height problem. Have you considered adding legs to the vanity? They would have be rather plain to go with the style of the washstand. I saw some on Van Dykes that I think would go (stylistically speaking). I don't think it would be too difficult for a carpenter to make similar legs out of oak to match your washstand. As long as the size and tapering match the existing washstand legs and you can get a reasonable match for the stain and finish, the modifications would be nearly inconspicuous, and since the joints would be so low, I don't think that people would notice the joints even if the joint lines show. If you're planning to paint the washstand, it would be impossible to tell. The back legs wouldn't need to be tapered because they'd be totally hidden (and the back legs on your washstand are probably square anyway). If your carpenter uses dowel joints, they should be strong enough, since you won't have to move the washstand once it's installed. Here is a link that might be useful: Van Dykes - plain tapered furniture legs (paint grade)...See Morepowder room color dilema

Comments (6)What was the reason for the accent strip? IMO it seems like an after thought with no plan. You have a tiny space so what vanity are you planning ? I would do a very small wall hung vanity in maybe a blue from the tile to tie it in somehow. As for the mirror I like one you have bit I would not do that dark metal in this space go a nice nickel a one piece toilet and something like this for the vanity but painted the dark blue. Take the e shelf away and apint the walls a really pale blue make sure the lighting in also nickel and the bulbs are LEDs in 4000K . I am wondering why a tub in a PR though....See Morepowder room vanity gap
Comments (29)You can put a 1x2 or 2x2 furring strip behind the vanity to seal that gap and maybe put some cove molding over it to make it look a little nicer on the corner. The furring strip might work better if you have a backsplash and it can be at the top of the backsplash (but level with it). It would add a mini shelf of sorts in the gap. Cove molding would reduce the size of what you could put on the mini shelf, but you can play around with images to visualize it. If your designer has skethcup or CAD they should be able to do a sketch for you. The side drops don't really bother me as I've seen a lot of vanities like that. Leaves room for magazine rack, trash bin, etc. I will be installing a vanity that will have to be bumped forward a little to allow room for the P-trap and I will be putting a little shelf level with the top of the backsplash behind it to catch stuff that falls....See More

3 months agoThink "Jjewel box" not "cave." You'll need better lighting with 9' ceiling. I think the tile goes well with the country styling of the vanity. Perhaps just add some new hardware and sconces on either of the side walls; not this style but mounted right and left as shown.

3 months agoI changed the paint to Accessible Beige with Soji White Trim. Still not thrilled, just looks boring, but doesn't feel like a cave any more.
The tile background is very beige.
