powder room paint question

9 years ago

Have a small powder room 5*8. came with Beige paint. Thinking of painting it to dark dark grey/ blue palette - can I do two shades - dark and light accent wall. Afraid if I paint it all dark, it will make the room look even more smaller. Any advice please?

Attaching a picture of curtain and my color palette that I was considering. Can I do a dark grey and light blue shade..and if yes, which wall should have dark and which wall light color? Attaching pics of walls as well.

Thank you!!

Go all dark! Drama! But is that a rug you're coordinating with? No need for one in a powder room.

I also would go all dark for drama. A powder room is one place you can get away with it. I would under no circumstances do more than one color in a room this small.

You'll get better advice if you can give us a photo showing as much of the room as possible, though.

Look at your very own ideabook. The powder rooms you've saved are all dramatic. Go for it.

The grays you are considering and the rug do not work together one is a true gray and the paint is a blue gray rethink the wall color and if you decide to go dark you better make sure you have a ton of light.
