Suggestions for master bath

5 years ago

I am wanting to do a mini-makeover on my master bath. I do not have the funds or desire to replace the tile or counters, so I'm trying to work with them. I want to get rid of the peachy colors. I plan to paint the green walls the trim color, which is a basic cream used throughout the house. Any suggestions on what color to paint the mirrors and cabinets that work with the counters, but don't bring out the peach undertones? Thoughts on hardware color? I prefer a more transitional/casual style. Nothing modern or trendy.
The picture only shows part of the bathroom. There is a nearly identical vanity on the other side of the bath tub along with a shower tiled in the same tiles as the floor.

Purchase several 5000k "pure white daylight" bulbs, put them in any old lamps (without lampshades). Now you will be able to see the true colors in your tile, lighting makes a huge difference. Proceed from there.

Thank you! Do you have any thoughts on cabinet color? I'm wondering about a neutral very light grey/blue.

5000k is really extreme lighting. We’re talking almost surgical lighting. Very, very harsh and not something typically recommended for a bathroom. I do agree that standard 2700k will cast a yellow glow that isn’t helpful, but I wouldn’t go any higher than 3500k (personally I don’t go any higher than 3000k but many people find 3500k acceptable).

My daughter had the same challenge in her home. They painted the cabinets a med/dark gray with blue undertones and it vastly improved the situation. I’m not sure how much the natural light made a difference though - her house is in the desert and gets lots of natural light.

Thank you! I'll look into colors in that range.

I don't think lighting is the issue. Its quite literally a peachy paint. The previous owners used it elsewhere in the house. I'm just trying to figure out what a better color would be to complement the tile.
