If you would find a dark bedroom to be restful and conducive to a good night's sleep, then it's a good idea for you. While I like a dark powder room, I think in a master bath you want to be able to see what you're doing and also more light is probably conducive to waking up, so I would choose a light wall color in there. Does the layout of the bath allow for attractive use of an accent wall? If so, then how about one dark wall?

I have no comment about what colors to use, but I love your tiles.

Maybe just match the tiled wall color and do an accent wall in the bedroom? I've seen some great wall murals as well... maybe I should look at those.

I love your inspo room #2 but I think it works because there is plenty of natural light, and maybe the light room next to it. I wouldn't paint the ceiling dark because if I tired of it, it would be a nightmare to get back to white. I love your tile choices but would not go dark on the walls, I would take a color from the terrazzo for the paint.

I would probably want the bathroom to be lighter, so it was easier to see things, including in the mirror, and so it was easier to keep clean by turning up the lights, and because we have hard water and dark colors spot, and soap film builds up even if you clean a lot, and that shows up more on dark colors than light. All of our bathrooms can be lit up like operating rooms if necessary and all of them have separate switching, and dimming. I tend to take a shower in near darkness and then turn everything up to clean up after myself. (The bathroom essentially gets cleaned every day to some extent).

Conversely while my bedrooms get great natural light, since I am primarily interested in sleeping there, I have spent a certain amount of effort being able to block it out, and everything in the one bedroom is a dark saturated color.

I'll have to scour for good mural wallpaper.

no mural paper.

Instead, I'd do some type of wood trim accent.

Do you like something like this?

not sure how masculine you want it though.

Let me show a bunch of examples.

BTW, you have the room so do a little seating area in the overflow space, or check out two of the pics w/the hanging chair.

I'd also shoot for Coastal/CAlif Boho.

Keeping these in mind (love the floor tile! what is that?)

check out this ceiling. but look at the rug, bed, textured items and,,

Notice the wood standing mirror. good idea if you have such a large room.

Paul, I actually made my own using a leftover bathroom mirror cut to size, then I went to this place in Orange that dealt in reclaimed wood. Found some 100 yr old reclaimed black walnut and had the guy make a frame for the mirror for me. Kind of that coastal vibe, no?

Whites/blues/grays and wood tones. lots of textures. this is more of a classic trim accent

Here ya go. simple battans on the wall, nice art, maybe some sconces over the wood nightstands, texture in the rug, light, accent pieces.

a bit more modern. use a diff blue color

How about something lie this one?

super easy to do these batten panel pieces.

here are some darker blue/gray colors

Some other looks:

this one is really more Boho. love the neutral tones, the soft wood, but look at all the texture!

here's the hanging chair. not suggesting you do this peacock color, but you could choose a deep slate color or a blue/charcoal. other walls a soft white

here's the other chair. I like the neutral bed. deep wall color, beaded light

Here's a better color w/the accent trim design. bit more masculine. you could still do the chair

Half trim? wainscot?

OK, here ya go. found a mural in the colors you want

AND, she did the wainscot (BM Simply white

What is your wallcovering budget and what kind of murals do you like? And, is this an 8 foot ceiling?

There are some murals that are kind of top down rather than bottom up. Traditionally murals were frequently placed in dining rooms, because most of the furniture was in the middle, and or in hallway/stairwells, because there is no furniture. However, depending upon the mural, I have seen people put furniture in front of it and hang other pictures or mirrors on them with relative impugnity, although those are usually maximalist looks rather than anything too contemporary.

I was in a home recently on a tour of architect designed homes that had a dark blue, not navy but dark, bedroom.The floor was some kind of sisal type area rug. It was gorgeous and so peaceful but a lot of it had to do with indirect lighting. They also had the coolest bathroom exhaust fan that had a bluetooth speaker in it. Sexy jazz played in the bathroom and emanated to the bedroom. I suggest getting a lighting designer/consultant to create that moodiness.

@palimpsest The wall is 8.5' and for such a small wall there is no upper limit for the right wall covering. Maybe I should focus on a wall paper not a mural since 40% will be covered by furniture. I have a weird thing with birds going on here... they use the flat roof for a hang out area. So maybe bird related? I have a 20 foot tall stand of bamboo in the front of the property as well so maybe something that relates to that?

I really would not do the wood accent feature in your house. I think it can limit furniture placement and is not easily reversible without a lot of scraping spackling and sanding. At least with wallpaper, if the wall is properly primed and sized you can remove it down to the wall surface without damaging the wall fairly easily.

I also think based upon your other projects that your house is maybe too sophisticated for it. The big place I see it is on flipping TV shows were they are trying to get big impact for very little money and trying to avoid having something "too taste specific" like art or a wallcovering. It's a little low-end in your case, and in general the idea is at it's sell by __ date in my opinion. Still cute in certain place, but not here.

If budget is not really a major concern, Phillip Jeffries, Thibaut and Schumacher all make nice wallcoverings including some murals. Phillip Jeffries has a lot of great grasscloths and other natural papers. If you like things a little offbeat, look at Cole and Sons

@Beth H. The floor is 24"x24" resin terrazzo from Ann Sacks. It's one of my favorite things. I kind of know that I should do light and airy but I love luxury hotels and thought I could give myself that little sense of that thrill of spending the night in one. There will be a mini-fridge in the nightstand, steam shower, jacuzzi tub, 85" TV, adjustable bed... on certain nights bringing my food into the room to eat.

Thanks for the input... I like every one of your suggestions including the thought of beams! They'd have to be only about 6" since I don't want to be able to touch them. My finger tip reach is 8'. I'm going to look a bit longer for a way to get a feeling of a Mandarin Oriental opium den. Haha. Joking, but I have to have a little drama in that room after all this.

Phillip Jeffries has a mural paper called Prosper, which is bamboo themed which comes in a number of colorways: this is the most subtle

just found it! Renata. wow. this is so pretty. afraid to ask the price per sq ft. says $26.95?

Look how Studio McGee used it

another one. Is this where you got your tile idea?

It was spendy, $22 but I loved it. I also splurged with my exterior gray wood, expensive but one of my favorite things. I did end up using 3 different tiles in the bathrooms after all, against advice. The stripey brick is on the back wall in the steam shower and in the guest bath shower. Once I get the shower glass in and the unseen light in the ceiling illuminating the texture we'll see if it was too much. I'll post a picture either way. Right now it feels good, like 3 nice Japanese ceramics art objects.

My rental bathrooms were the inspiration... I wanted to do a more upscale version of those $6sqf tiles. It got a little out of hand. :P

I'm going to move back in the next 10 days! I can't wait.!

Is that Dragon bay by clearing tile? Looks fantastic.

I really like the tile you chose for the bathroom and would go with that. My cousin's entire second floor was her bedroom and bathroom and she had a beautiful room. Of the pictures you presented for inspo, I liked the second one with the little sitting area opposite the bed. Looks real nice. I would go with that and go with a deeper shade of blue in your bedroom. I would consider a four poster bed or one with a canopy in a gorgeous fabric with shades of blue in it and a matching comforter or luxurious white comforter. Blue and white looks nice together. I would go with white carpeting or a nice area rug that is white under the bed. I would place either a treasure chest or a settee at the foot of the bed. You might also consider placing a chaise lounge on a diagonal facing the right side of the fed with a pretty floor lamp next to it. Against one of the walls you could put a beautiful armoire, perhaps teak.

Love those tiles paul. can't wait to see it all finished.

What did you end up doing for the exterior on the rental? I know you were doing something w/the stucco color? is that all finished?
