i could really use some help with this bathroom

9 years ago

We moved in a month ago , and i still can't pick a vanity -mirror-towel hooks-shelves and all other stuff that's missing. My husband loves this polished chrome look,and that's ok, but i feel like i can add some of my favorite brass /gold warm looking details, and i don't know how to ,or where to start. That's why i could really use some advice how to warm up this bathroom .

    The style of your towel hooks, toilet paper holder and other attached pieces should coordinate in style, shape, finish and color with your plumbing hardware. Warm the room up with paint color, floor rug, towel color, candles, soap dish, soap color, and art. Pik a mirror with a wooden frame. It could be distressed or stained. You want to repeat the style you are using in the rest of the house.

    thank you Susan . Do you think bathroom vanity should be also stained wood ? And what colors in general you think would look nice in this bathroom

    It looks like a tight space between the sink and tub? You may want a wall mounted sink. How wide is the room?

    If you can find accessories that combine silver and brass/warm gold, that will bring in some of your taste. Search HOUZZ stories for mixing metal finishes. They had one last year that was very good.

    I would add some warm wood, bright colours for the walls and some funky towels. I like the floor tiles used, an unusual shape which adds interest to the floor.

    The design phase should have planned this to minimum size requirements, but it looks as though it didn't. Who inspected this???? Because your plumber seems to have the rough ins in all the wrong spots.

    Thank you so much , everyone. For helping me . I like the floating vanity a lot. The space in between the toilet and a tub is 26 inches . So i guess my best option is 24 inches vanity.

    Mark ,i like the idea of matching shelves and vanity .hope it's not too hard to find them, considering they'll be very small. i thought about putting the led string light (or whatever is called)behind the mirror , that could look nice

    What do you guys think about the mirror . It's kind of odd that the tiles go almost to 4.5 feet so i feel with the round mirror i'' not going to be able to see myself. Is it going to look ugly if the mirror goes over the tiles ?

    Sophie, rough ins are from the original pedestal sink, i don't think my husband planed on a floating sink so now it's going to be hard to find floating sink that doesn't have a drawers in it .

    Irene thank you so much for the photos, what a great designs

    Hope you understand what i wrote , english is not my first language , but i'm trying :)

    This is the picture before we moved in. So basicaly it's the same exact layout

    Pick your vanity first, and then you can figure out a mirror solution -- either one that fits above the tile, or put some wood behind the top part to even it up with the tile, or recess a medicine cabinet and cut the tiles around it... You need a style first though. I like where Mark was headed. If you're not prepared for wall-hung, then maybe find a similar thing with more traditional plumbing -- weathered wood is quite popular right now.

    The toilet needs a 30" clear space without any encroachment of shower or vanity. They had a pedestal sink and alcove tub in there for a reason. Who designed this renovation?
