Master bathroom paint problems. No windows!

7 years ago

As you can see I have ripped off the existing wallpaper. At least as high as I can reach. And yes, how lucky am I to have found more wallpaper underneath the existing paper. Ugh...
Trying to save money before contractor comes over to remove remainder of wallpaper and paint.
My problem is choosing a paint color.
There are no windows in here. Very little natural light hits this bathroom.
I do not want a dark color in here. Plan to sell in the near future.
Any help with a paint color that pops with the trim and coordinates with floor is appreciated!
I have three boards painted.
Shittaki
Worldly Gray
Accessible Beige

Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance for helping me with this project.

You aren't understanding. Those are the colors that already exist in your room. It's pulled straight from your photo.

To use any of the cold grays means ripping out everything in that room. A 50K gut. Removing the wallpaper won't be enough. Just pick a warm tan or brown that looks good with that color palette. Gray won't do it.

None of those go with the ivory fixtures. Those, and the stone, establish the potential color palette. The bronze that was there worked. It just needed better lighting. Fix that first. Lighting is always the answer to a dark room.

These are the colors you have.

Appreciate that. We are also placing a hanging light fixture in the middle of the ceiling.
Probably needed to add that in my post.

Looked at you recommendations.
I don’t see any of the colors working for me.

When you have a bathroom with no natural light, the worst thing you can do is put in a neutral color. What you need is an actual color and one that has some oomph. Here are two of my examples just for ideas.

The first was my old condo. Note how it warms up the room and it appears brighter than if I had chosen a gray or a beige color?
In my new house, I also have a powder room with no natural light. In this case I decided to paint the room a soft green.

Make sure you have good lighting then add a very pretty color on the wall; one that makes you look good;)! You have enough wall space for some interesting art too! The colors you picked would look drab in this windowless room, make it bright and pretty instead!
