What can I do with this bathroom?

13 years ago

I would like to leave the Harvest Time (BM) paint color up. I love the purple color (Purple Haze) and the bluish/gray (Shadow Gray) next to the Harvest Time. I just don't know what to do with the walls.

Vertical stripes maybe? Any ideas? It's a tiny powder room.

How about horizontal stripes? Or a big painted pattern that would look like wallpaper?

I like the Harvest yellow. Not a fan of amateur efforts at painted wall treatments.

If you like the lavender & gray colors, introduce them to the room another way:
- Buy a nice piece of art to hang above the towel rack.
- Hang some shelve above the toilet with some nice knick knacks. You can paint the shelves one of your contrast colors.
- find a nice fabric with the lavender or gray & a yellow in it. Get a plastic kleenex box. Glue on one layer of quilt batting. Cover with the fabric, just fold & glue w/ fabric glue.

Thank you all for the suggestions! @felixgrantham I will be going with your suggestion! It's the perfect idea and plus I'll be able to change it up with accent colors and not have to repaint using accent colors. Thank you so much!
