Need help with with finishing up a bathroom remodel

13 years ago

My ex-husband and I began a bathroom remodel. While I'm happy with the overall look I'm afraid we got a little carried away with the gold tile. Lol. The remodel is not complete i still need to add the sinks a new chandelier light fixtures and mirrors. So what I'm wondering is if I should bring in another color for those fixtures and also for decorative accessories. Any help would be appreciated because I am not a decorator! O and on a very limited budget

no, no. I am a designer and I would definitely do the copper bowl. It will not fade into the background because it is an added texture. Use the pops of color in accessories - but still cream or gold would be beautiful.

I would bring in a pop of color in the sink and accessories. The room is beautiful, but looking all one color. A jewel tone blue would be really pretty.

It actually looks rather mid-Eastern, Moroccan. Perhaps something from that style would blend well.

Should I go with white sinks to coordinate with the tub or will that just look weird?

Well I would really like an amber bowl or a copper bowl but don't know if it's too much of the same color scheme. My other big problem is what to do for sink mirrors. As u can see in the picture the whole wall is covered in tile and I don't want to cover up the arched design completely. Maybe leaning mirrors...?
O and I just saw the pictures you posted earlier. Wow everything was beautiful. Really thinking about that blue bowl..

I think if you did the amber or cooper bowl they will just fade away- it will not be money well spent, although the one below is pretty cool. You need to do something that pops. You can do white for sure- I just really fell in love with the jewel bowl.

I bet you blew your whole budget on the tile alone. It has a Las Vegas feel to it. I would use some black on accessories. You have a very busy room going.

You're right about blowing my budget. Which is why I've been without sinks for about a year now.lol
Very inconvenient!! Do you have any ideas about the mirrors for the sink area?

thank you, travisinteriors, it means a lot coming from you....I watch you closely. @agonzalezx1 I think you need to do arched or round mirrors so you do not cover the tiles.

By the way busy is not exactly a good thing right? I guess at this stage there's not really anything I can do about that?

Hi I meant its busy so don't over do. To many pieces and different colors will make it more busy. Your tub is white, sinks could work in that. Just no more gold. Haha. It's your bathroom, we as designer can be a bit critical at times, don't mean to come off as that. One of the hardest thing I had to learn in this biz. Is your client is always right. I do like the gold tile it's striking. Good job.

O it's ok I think I assumed correctly that you were trying to be helpful :)
I really appreciate your input. I like nice things as much as the next person but I don't have that something extra required to bring it all together..sigh. I was agonizing over it but I think you set me on the right path.
Btw I think designers have a really amazing and wonderful talent. Thank you

I love this for a sink option. It's a lava glass and pulls in all your colors (as far as I can tell - sometimes it's hard to tell from photos, and it's on sale! http://www.wayfair.com/Kraus-Lava-Glass-Vessel-Sink-and-Waterfall-Faucet-KUS2238.html

I also really like this gold capiz waterfall chandelier for over the tub. It would brighten up the space a little. I think you're getting a little too dark with all the black accents. http://www.westelm.com/products/round-capiz-chandelier-gold-w1142/?cm_src=PIPRecentView
