Post a image so we can understand what other finishes are in the room...vanity...tile?

I have often thought that you can get quite adventuresome in baths and powder rooms. After all, how much time do you actually spend there every day? One tends to tire of dramatic areas in which one spends a lot of time daily.

Approximately 300 years ago, I had a small bedroom that had Maple finish paneling halfway up the wall and a lot of built-ins. The effect was closet like. I papered the upper walls in a matte-finish navy wallpaper with a tiny, faint, white figure. It was gorgeous.

Nice blue bath Yalemichmom..change out that plate above the towel ring for another piece of art..plate just not working in a bathroom..but all looks beautiful:)

Thank you for the compliments and suggestion (to remove the plate/bowl). We put the shallow bowl there because it was my great-great grandmother's, and it's the only item I got (that was hers) when my grandmother died. It feels special to me, but it doesn't have to be in the powder room. I liked the blue and white motif with the paint color, but it could easily go on a bookshelf in our living room. I have plenty of art that could take its place and need "homes." Someday, I will change out the mirror and install a better light fixture.

Yalemichmom....you have done a great job! Yes put it out in a dinning room or kitchen.....so everyone can see it and what a wonderful way to display it..I am sure your great great grandma would love it out where all the family is and gathers instead!;)

They need to be deeper those are more royal blue...the most popular navy for painted cabinets and walls is Hale Navy looks gorgeous with brass or gold accents. Benjamin Moore Hale Navy

Actually very dark walls can enhance small spaces with alot of white accents..good lighting..GE Led “Daylight” bulbs would be a good choice in this bathroom that has no windows..I did a black dining room with white trim and drapery was amazing...you will love the saturated walls it looks beautiful. I would never suggest a paint color I am not confident of.

It's so hard to tell from small chips and not knowing what else will be in the room. Plus, the computer screens and lighting in photos affect the tones. I prefer 1, 2, and 5. 3 & 4 seem too bright (at least from the photo). Then again, my photo of my bathroom is BM New York State of Mind (BM 805 also pictured below on the home exterior) with a matte finish. It is dark
