And then here is the guest/baby bath - it’s a small room but has a window unlike the master. Will be primarily used by our baby and overnight guests, so I would love to do something a bit more fun here, but also at a total loss for ideas.

Greens and browns usually go well together, however, if you have an adventuresome streak, there are times when a bold navy blue goes well with tan.

Thanks suezbell, I was planning on using BM Soft Fern for the nursery, maybe we could carry it over to one of the bathrooms... but then what do I do for the vanities argh.
As for navy, I think our master is likely a bit dark for that since it has no windows, and I want something a bit lighter for the second bath, but I have a Van Deusen Blue sample and will test that out! I do want a navy (or some other saturated color) powder room, but that one is easy since there’s no beige and no vanity to try and work in.

Soft greens or soft blue/green will work beautifully.

Thanks cpartist, any color suggestions you could throw at me? And what to do with the darn vanities?

Okay, so here are some thoughts, I figured the master was the tough one, so might as well start there.

1. The safe option: paint the vanity the same color as the trim (White Dove), and find a tan similar to the counter color for the walls. White towels and some art with white background. Seems like this would work, but boy is it a lot of tan for someone who does not like tan!

2. Blue: go with something like Van Courtland Blue for the vanity and a lighter version of that for the wall. I have a hard time picturing what this would look like, especially in all artificial light.

3. See if the vanity could be stained darker - maybe espresso? Throw a colorful runner on the floor and do some lighter colored walls (cream?). Not sure if that would end up looking harsh and worse than what’s there now.

Any and all suggestions are appreciated! Really struggling with this room for some reason.

Completely different room (so much light!!!), but here’s what I was thinking re: the runner.

That was a bit of a strange version, didn’t notice on my phone. Here’s a better one:

I am not a pro, but I am someone who doesn’t like beige or grey and bought a house with a ton of both! I’m experimenting in a small bathroom - painting the wood vanity a dark grey (Urban Bronze) and adding brushed brass fixture, faucet and accessories. I think a dark vanity could be dramatic in your bathroom, even without a window. Let’s hope Beth H. sees this dilemma and chimes in.

Forget adding another material with a runner it only adds to the confusion I saw navy for the vanity I could be all wrong but I think it would take your eye to there and not to the mismatched tiles. But before doing anything else change all the bulbs to LEDS in 4000K that will give you a good idea of daylight then the colors will work not matter what time of day it is. The adding some gold or brass colored hardware will include the beige color in the mix some nice white fluffy towels with maybe the odd navy one thrown in . Take that shelf off the wall by the door and those mirrors need to now be anything but silver .

Thanks RedRyder! I have such a hard time visualizing any of the options, so that surely does not help! I think my biggest issue with going even darker on the vanity is a fear of making the space overall darker and having the room become overpowered by this giant dark thing. It’s not the worst vanity I’ve ever seen, but it most definitely is not the prettiest, and right now it’s the only thing you see when you walk in. I wish it was in our budget to hire someone to make these decisions for us!

Thanks Patricia! I actually have a Samplize sample of Van Deusen Blue and a few others (was considering them for the kitchen, but decided to go lighter and slightly greener), so it will be easy to check how navy performs in there. The sellers are leaving on 10/21, so I still have a bit of time.

We’re definitely changing the light fixtures and bulbs in the whole condo, the current owners did not... do a great job with lighting to say the least (photos are old, since we bought off market and believe it or not they put in something even worse since those were taken). As for the mirrors, my OCD goes into overdrive because they are not level, so definitely going to work on that and I loathe the wire rack thing so that is going away as soon as we’re in there.

Just remembered that we have some photos from the inspection and appraisal that show the colors a little better (apologies for the quality and mess, although the mess is not ours!):

So the more I think about this, the more I wonder if we should just tear the tile floors out. We are redoing that whole floor in Supercore LVP (tearing out the world’s ugliest entry space tile and some really gross dirty carpet), so it might not add TOO much cost to do the bathrooms on top... but it would make me so much happier... but the shower floor would still not match, and the guest bath would still have beige on the walls... So many decisions to be made! Now if only I could win a modest 5 figure sum in the lottery.

I like light blues with taupes and beige. Here is the thing. I feel like those colors kind of dull out the room. I would love to see more white in the bathroom to kinda brighten it up and add some life. with that being said- I would suggest a white vanity.

Thank you! White would be very easy since I'm going with BM White Dove for kitchen uppers and the paint guys would be thrilled to not have to swap the sprayer to an additional color. And if we were to go ahead and change out the floors to wood look LVP that would hopefully get rid of a lot of the clashing that's making this so hard for me.

That being said, my husband has some concerns about going from tile to LVP since we'd effectively be "downgrading" the flooring to a less expensive option. Ugh why did they not put in a more neutral floor!

I think you could still keep the floor and freshen it up with white vanity.

I have cream/tan large tiles on my bathroom walls and floor. Tubs and pedestal sinks are white and in one bathroom fixtures are chrome and another they are brass. No walls to paint per se so both rooms are bathed in tan/cream. I thought I was going to hate it as I have more grays in my other rooms. HOWEVER, I have learned to embrace the colors, granted my bathrooms are small. In the one with brass fixtures, I have white and navy accents and it looks great, and I get a lot of compliments. I the other bathroom, I pulled in some pale blue accents on my primarily white shower curtain as it flows with me bedroom.

If you are looking for blues-grays-greens, BM Smoke is very pretty. But I think the Van Deusen Blue could look great too. GL!

Can't wait to see what you choose.

Thanks Gcubed, I do have a sample of Smoke and it’s lovely! So it’s certainly on the short list. I think where it ultimately all breaks down for me is trying to marry four elements: two mismatched tile tones, plus the walls plus the vanity. Like, in my head I can almost commit to blue walls or a white vanity, but when I start trying to picture how all of that would look together my brain starts fuming. It’s like an equation with too many unknowns.
