Help! we need color!

7 years ago

Hi, we built an addition on to our house.Master suite. Bedroom looks great. Bathroom...should look good but doesn't. It's not finished yet, so we can still course - correct. It is too much grey-green. It's our own fault; the cabinet maker for the vanity wanted the color selection before we had found the perfect floor tile. So we just picked a color that we liked...SW Magnetic Gray. (which is a grey-green). Then we found the floor tile, a dark warm grey. Both individually are pretty; but together, they are too close in hue. Adding to the problem is that the master bath is on the north side of the house, so any color that goes in promptly looks grayish. The walls are currently Highly Reflective White, but they look pale grey due to the northern exposure. At a right angle to the vanity will be the free-standing tub, we thought having a white vanity and a white tub would be too many large white things in the space. Of course, now we wished we had chosen a blue or white for the vanity. Hindsight...


So - the question is, what to do? Paint the vanity? Add some wallpaper? Paint the walls? Find a colorful rug that hides most of the grey floor? Any other ideas? The countertops are bright white, right now they just have that protective wrap on them. The fixtures are polished nickel.


We're pretty much traditional/transitional folks. Trying for elegant.


The tub is not installed yet; it goes on the left side of the vanity, below the window. I've been searching for a mirror to go above the vanity, it needs to be about 36 w x 55 h. Haven't found anything yet. On the right side of the vanity will be a small chair. Haven't picked that out yet either.


Hubby and I are suffering from analysis paralysis...pls help!
