Is rose gold too feminine?

8 years ago

I would like to update a small (30 sq ft) 1/2 bath in my home. The bathroom has no windows. I am considering a vanity that has a mid-century modern touch and I really like this foil swirl wallpaper that is rose gold color. I think the design has a mid-century look with the foil design. https://www.iwantwallpaper.co.uk/arthouse-foil-swirl-pattern-wallpaper-geometric-textured-metallic-motif-vinyl-294101-p4750

The 1/2 bath is right off my entry and it's used by many visitors to our home. I don't really want a male or feminine look to it, just a modern look. What could I use as a color for the vanity or some other feature in the room in case it's too pink from the rose gold paper? I like copper and bronze and might be able to incorporate a mirror frame in one of these colors or hardware on the cabinets. The lighting is canned ceiling lights. Just concerned it will look like the "ladies room"! The toilet is new and skirted (white). Thanks for your advice.

Not too feminine if you bring in dark black/brown/blue for accent colors in the towels and accessories.

Rose gold could be very pretty, but I would absolutely not use that wallpaper, that is way too pink.

I actually do take rose gold as the utmost girly color out there especially because it seems to glitter. I'm not a pro, and the suggestion on how to tone it down that you got is impressive, so hopefully you can use it that way because I really like your idea. I think darker lighting in the powder room would also tone it down.

I think that is lovely wallpaper- and no- not too feminine at all. I actually don't buy into the concept of too feminine in a house. What would that mean- no florals- no pink- men are perfectly happy with those things- at least they have been historically.

How a man fits into a chair, whether a teacup is comfortable in his hands, those are male/female/size issues to consider. Rose gold wallpaper- not so much.
