Mst Bath Finishing Touches

5 years ago

We are looking for wallpaper, new sconces, and something between the mirrors. The walls in the bathroom are white. The mirrors are a 4 inch thick reclaimed wood. The cabinet pulls are bronze/brushed nickel and the faucets are square brushed nickel. We have a coastal modern farmhouse decor.

let me post some diff options and see if you like any of them

I love this inset niche w/shelves for your middle. Jan mentioned the large space between the mirrors. You could do a larger tray on the counter, and have a tall vase or something. But this wouldn't be difficult to have done. Bring in some diff lights, and I think it would look pretty good

I'm not that familiar w/wallpaper in the bathroom. if it's a larger bathroom with window and a good fan, AND the wallpaper is rated for bathrooms, you could probably get away with it.

This peel and stick is vinyl. maybe try it out?

I assume you want something like this look?

see if something like this works for you

you have room to do all three sconces?

you could do something w/the wainscotlike shown here,

and a nice double sconce in the middle. yours could be more modern looking instead of this traditional one. bring in tray or basket to place in the middle, since yours is a tad small for that large vanity.

Can you call in an electrician and have the wall wired for sconces?

OrInstead of wallpaper, have you considered doing tile?

tile here, and lights like this over your mirrors.

speaking of shelving.

you could also do some type of floating shelf in the wood that matches your mirrors

some other options
this is similar to what you have. they did this wall decor in the middle. Do you like these lights?

Mist, Double in ORB. Rejuvenation

instead of wallpaper, a vertical tongue and groove w/pendants

even Etsy has some removable faux grasscloth

We would like a neutral textured wallpaper suitable for humidity

Is there enough light in the bathroom for grooming and makeup? Two-light sconces can work if you have some light from a good ceiling fixture or recessed ceiling lights.
I am sure your local wallpaper store will have a book or two showing bathroom-use papers made for a bit of humidity. The wallpaper you select should have some of your wall and counter color included.
An exhaust fan in the bathroom can help remove excess moisture and aromas.

Your planning was off with regards to mirrors and electrical work? One large mirror. Your sink placement , and vanity size isn't the best for two mirrors. the lights above the mirror can go UP!! YOU DON'T NEED a foot or more of dead space.

Look in the contract vinyl at Phillip Jeffries, but honestly? I don't love ANY wallpaper in a bathroom. Solve the mirror issue first IONE PLEASE.

Add a bit of black....lights and towel hardware

If you do above.........I doubt you will feel the need for paper. ADD ART. : ) We cant' see the entire space................................

I think I’ll take my chances. I already have towel holders on each side. I think I’ll stick with bronze, no black. Thanks.

The point is the MIRROR. Yours are leaving you a big gap. Making you want paper....or another light which will not look good. Just move your existing bronze fixtures up. Those can change at your will, .......to bronze or any other.

The lights are dated! Yes I agree maybe moving the lighting up some could help, but the wall needs the texture of a grasscloth, vinyl coated.

Then why are you asking us you have already decided.IMO you start the decor with the wallpaper and all the other bits are done to work with that.

You have to prepare yourself for solutions. From PRO or genpop, If your mind is made up? then you proceed and do it.

Wall paper is never a great solution in humid areas. THAT IS SIMPLE FACT. The issue bothering you is the gap between mirrors, and the white walls. Pick a color you love and paint. I won't mention the real problem/answer to it again..........: ) yeah, I will. It's the mirrors. /gap. More mirror will brighten, enlarge visually, the entire bath.

I'm in middle of a complete bathroom remodel. Decisions are difficult! One feature I've noticed on Houzz, with bathroom remodels by professionals, is that an oval sink usually has a rectangle mirror, and the opposite, sinks with corners have oval mirrors. And usually just 2 lights when placed above mirror. I'll fill my space between mirrors with a tall vase or maybe a reproduction statue (Venus?). Enjoy all the comments!
