Help with deciding paint color for remodeled bathroom

5 years ago

Hi there,

We are remodeling our hallway bathroom and I am struggling with the paint color for the wall. Suggestions would be most welcome!

There is one smallish window that is east facing with translucent glass) at the end of the narrow bathroom.

Most selections have been made and/or installed.

The shower/tub surround is a ceramic tile called Seaside (https://www.flooranddecor.com/porcelain-ceramic-decoratives/seaside-polished-ceramic-tile-100467729.html).

The floor tile is 12x24 stone look porcelain tile call Belucci Bianca (https://www.flooranddecor.com/porcelain-tile/belucci-bianca-matte-porcelain-tile-100885334.html).

The 72” vanity is the Elbe Rustic: https://www.costco.com/elbe-rustic-72"-double-sink-vanity-by-northridge-home.product.100482122.html

The metal finishes on the shower/tub, including the semi-frameless doors is stainless/brushed nickel.

A possible light fixture is the seafoam/black vanity light from Golden Lighting (would get 2 of the 3-light option). https://www.houzz.com/products/3-light-black-bath-light-with-seafoam-shade-prvw-vr~148980348. (Open to other options though).

The adjoining hallway is BM Gray Owl. We will be repainting the adjoining bedroom as well, so suggestions for that room would be amazing too. It is a north facing room with one 60”-ish window. I think we are trying to go really light and neutral in that room (which I know is harder with a north-facing room).

Pics attached. Thanks in advance!

I love your material choices. I recommend setting out samples of all your materials in the bathroom. Then place color swatches next to them to see what works.

My DS remodeled a hall bath with very similar colors as you are showing. It was an upstairs shared hall bath, shared by 2 girls and occasionally used by a guest. Her shower tile was called "denim," a nice blue like yours, the countertop was marble and a marble hexagon floor, with white vanity, so overall the same color scheme as yours. She actually used a very light, muted coral color that I know was from SW but I don't remember the color name. It almost looks white in the room with just a whisper of color; just enough to see the difference between the paint and the white trim. It doesn't read too feminine bc it's not not pink and it's not bold or strong. Orange and blue are on opposite sides of the color wheel and look really nice together if you choose the right shades. That doesn't mean you need a "screaming" blue and orange combo! Her combo looks very nice bc nothing is very strong. It looks soft, pretty and inviting.

You could probably accomplish this "barely white" with other colors as long as they are light and muted.

If a color doesn't appeal to you and you want more of a white, test out SW Crushed Ice and other cool whites. Your lighting will make all the difference to how the paint actually looks in your bathroom so try out some samples and look at them during different times of the day.

I apologize; I didn't notice that your vanity was wood. It's so beautiful. I retract by suggestion to do a color. If this were my bathroom, I'd stay in the white family for paint because the materials you have chosen are so beautiful, you want to showcase them. Your accessories and wall art can contribute splashes of color if you want. Or black and white sketches and cityscape photographs would be cool if you don't want to add a bunch of color.

The tile looks blue to me but if it's got green in it at all, BM Winter White is what I chose for my bathroom that has pale turquoise tiles with grey undertones.
