Advise for my small bathroom paint color

5 years ago

I recently installed new gray vanity. I had yellow wall and I repainter acvessible beige since I liked it so much in my bedroom wall. But I found that it was too dark in my bathroom. It maybe because the light and mirror was removed. Or accessible beige doesn't go with gray cabinet and bluish gray tile? This bathroom is small and has no window. White countertop will be installed this week. My dh want me to keep yellow wall but I don't like it. Please advise what wall color I should go. Thank you.
1. Yellow wall (before)
2. Accessible beige - Wall color on the Photo looks lighter

    Pick a color that goes with gray. It doesn't have to be light. In fact light colors will look off in a bathroom with no natural light. You can actually choose a color with more saturation. What colors do YOU like and wear?

    My husband still want to go with yellow. I am thinking light tone down yellow or light gray / light blue ? But I think if I go with gray it is too much gray? I also like beige too. I just found that the accessible gray that I painted on the bathroom wall was semi gloss finish so it is darker than the Matt finish painted on my bedroom wall. So I want to try with accessible beige with eggshell finish. Do you guys think accessible beige will go with my bedroom?

    We are painting two bathrooms in SW Agreeable Gray, love the color.

    If you want color/drama, try a plum or raspberry.

    I have medium gray kitchen cabinets and in my bathroom off the kitchen, have a dark gray vanity. I painted my entire home in off white and like the brightness❣️

    No yellow with your cabinet, tile and flooring. That won’t work. SW Seasalt could be pretty. But you need samples to test.

    It’s best with your grays to stick to cool tones not warm colors.

    I did this mock up for you to show your hubby how much better a pretty cool,watery color will look with your gray vanity flooring etc. I used SW Seasalt. Don’t confuse SW Seasalt with BM Seasalt. Two different colors. Try sample of SW Seasalt.

    I think the SW seasalt is a great choice for your bathroom. No yellows, and no more grays. The room needs a bit of color.

    Seasalt is perfection

    We just finished one coat of sw seasalt. It looks too aqua blue too me at night right now. Hope it looks little calm after one more coat with more light.

    Paint has to “cure” so give this a few days. From here it looks very pretty.

    Thank you, Flo Mangan. This is the pic after 2nd coat. It still looks baby blue but it will look better after installing white countertop.

    Can you also advise paint color for Mt Master room? Cutrent wall color is Sw agreeable gray with semi gloss finish. It looks darker.

    Need more info. What is your bedding in your master bedroom?

  • 5 years ago

    Oh Sorry. I was asking master bathroom. The picture is here :) Same color of cabinets and floor with my small bathroom. Here is the pic of master bathroom. Accessible beige is on the wall since it is connected wall color from the bedroom. I like the color in the bedroom and also the right above the bath tub. It is more light beige but the color above th light in the middle above the cabinet is kind of dark. Can you advise other color than seasalt? Thanks for your reply always

    I am asking about color of bedding so I can coordinate with bedroom. Are you replacing lighting? Satin finish is shiniest I use for walls and only on trim. But in bathroom you can do satin. Each shinier level impacts color. So be aware of that. If you want roughly the same degree of color but more gray tone, then you could try SW Agreeable Gray. If you want some color then we need more info.

    I think painting gray would be too much grey, especially in a room that lacks windows. Some people really don't enjoy the depressive qualities of gray when it is everywhere.


    What sort of colors do you and hubby like that you can come to a mutual agreement on? What colors are pinpointed in the adjacent room?

    Thx!!!!!! @Flo Mangan Here is the updated pic of my master bathroom. I am thinking to paint the wall with light gray or off white now. Since Flo Megan recommended Agreeable Gray, I will consider the color. !!

    We are thinking to install one more mirror in the middle to cover the empty wall and give more spacious atmosphere and replace the light too.

    Here is the updated pics for the small bathroom , painted with SW seasalt as you guy's recommendation. It is fantastic. I love the color!!!!!! Big thanks to everyone especially @ Flo Mangan.

    Hi

    I am sharing this bedroom picture from Goodgle, not mine since it is very similar to my master bedroom. My Bedding is white and we have a beige colored king size bed similar to the picture. We also have white trims around the ceiling and floor. Medium dark colored wood floor is installed. Thank you. I don't want add too much color but I can't stand this beige color here in my bathroom. I love Accessible beige in my master bathroom though.

    I considered off white but my husband doesn't like white color. 😕
    Can you advise? Thank you.
