Help Choosing Bathroom Colors

10 years ago

I've attached a photo.

Walls will be a shade of red. In the photo you can see one is darker than the other.

Trim will be white

Fixtures are white

Trim on fixtures is polished chrome

3 choices of tile color provided ...... an off white with grey streaks porcelain, a gold tone travertine, and a black/white marble. Picture is kind of small for the forum but enlarged for your screen it looks better.

thanks

    #3 on the bottom row. Make a circle with your palm, close one eye and squint through the hole in your hand, blocking out any surround, to enclose each example. That gives you a very good idea of how they'd look.

    I do not care for the gold or black tile. I'd choose white.

    I prefer the darker red - with the white tile.

    Is this for a powder room? How much tile will there be in the space?

    jpmom, it's for a bathroom which has a bathtub/shower, toilet and pedestal sink. There will be approximately 70sqft of tile............ not a lot of floor space.

    chispa, I don't have the tiles. What is provided are pictures of the tiles from the vendor.

    There is one glass block window in the bathroom that is 3WX6H. It faces north so never gets direct light

    The home is a 60 year old grey brick two level walk-out to a lake. A lot of large windows on both levels that face the lake. Outside the bathroom it opens up to a large mahogany/teak bar/ and formal dining area with a den/fireplace after that. The floor is Brazilian cherry and the walls are a light tan. Another room off the bathroom is a large TV room which is mid grey, grey/black/red carpet. Immediately to the right of the bathroom is a utility room. The stairs are open and the second level has a golden oak floor with white walls in the kitchen and dining area joined by another TV/reading area. 3 bedrooms, 1 white, 1 a medium shade of blue, 1 taupe. Bathroom is like a burnt pumpkin with scabos travertine in the walk-in shower area. Floor is a light brown travertine.

    Another vote for the white!

    I think its really hard to go wrong with white tile in a bathroom. If you or a future occupant want different/more color, walls can be painted, towels and accessories can be changed. But tile is expensive to change. I think almost any color can look good with white. You will be more limited with the other color choices.

    White tiles.

    It'll go with everything from red to black to navy to pastel and white.

    I'm not sure that I would want a full bath painted in red ... and I love red and used to have my old kitchen painted red.

    I agree that the white tile seems the way to go and if you ever sell the property, you can easily repaint a neutral color.
