Wall Color?

10 years ago
I love this bathroom! What colors were used on the walls? Also what sheens? What color is your floor grout?

    The paint color on the walls is a Benjamin Moore color, called Balboa Mist, #1549. It is a semi-gloss sheen. The floors are a white floor tile with a grey grout, don't remember the exact color, but I usually use a "natural" color of grey.

    Thank you so much! Is the beadboard semi-gloss as well? Is it the same color as the walls? Also, I have the same tile and planned to use Delorean Gray floor grout and oyster gray grout on the subway tiled shower area. Does that sound about right? I'm worried that the Delorean might be too dark.

    Thank you again and really beautiful work!

    Yes, the bead board is semi-gloss as well. It is not the Balboa Mist...it is more of a pure white color that I matched to the custom cabinetry. Do you want me to look up the color for you? I like to use a warm grey grout color with the white tile, that way it doesn't get too dark or too blue looking. Basically, the look you are trying to achieve is the look of grout, that maybe once was a light color, but has darkened with use. So, that tends to be a warmer brown/grey, thus the natural grout color. I don't think Delorean Gray looks too dark, but I do think that oyster grey would be too light for the floor. I'd do walls and floor the same, if I were you. Good luck!

    Thank you! My ceilings are only 7' h. Do you think I can pull off this look?

    Maybe have the bead board stop lower to draw the scale down a bit. Maybe stop at 36" or so instead of this height shown here. They had higher ceilings and windows. But, as far as the look and the cabinetry, I think it would work well in a 7' space...maybe build the custom piece that's taller, almost to the ceiling, leaving only a small space or no space at the top. Put crown mold against the ceiling or close to it. Good luck!
