I would paint it.

I would Not paint it the color of your walls.

a very pale (actuallly white with a hint of color) blue, aqua, or green would be a nice compliment.

Behr Day Spa would be my first choice... it is in the Behr Whites line... looks soft blue in a low light room and next to anything.

A call to the place(factory?) that you ordered the vanity from might help you decide.

What wood is the vanity? You can stain two species of wood the same color and have them look completely different, especially if one of them is oak.

The vanity is mostly MDF. I'm not sure what type of wood the veneer is. So I think painting it is the best way to go at this point. Color has always been hard for me to visualize without actually seeing the colors together. We will already have a white tile floor with a white free-standing tub so I don't know about adding a cool white to the cabinet Lyn Neilson. We are going white and warm. Does adding a cool white work? Color theory is not my area of study.

Here is the vanity and the tile we have. I plan on changing the handles on the vanity to match our fixtures which will be oil-rubbed bronze. And the tile will have a darker brown grout.

Why brown grout ? Ineed to see all the choices togather and IMO painting the cabinets to match eachother would be my first choice and then no brown grout since it will not connest ot anything and prbably not ORB for hardware either since the whole space will feel very differnt . As for color fothe cabinets I need a bit more info but I see a clawfoot tub so maybe a really nice green or blue for the cabinets

If not blue or green, the only other option I can think of is to paint it the trim color. But as an aside, I can't imagine brown grout being the best choice in any circumstances. If you don't want white you should probably be looking at grays. And IMO the fixtures should be brushed nickel.

I love that floor. An outstanding choice! I'd say wait to choose your final grout color until you decide on your cabinet color. I LOVE darker grout because I dislike when the white grout turns grey. (easy fix - choose a dark grout!) . And then wait to choose your paint until you have all of your hard fixtures done. I paint my top 3 choices on BIG poster board and live w/each one for a few days to see how the light hits it. I guess you could do the same with the cabinet colors.

My absolute favorite education on color is from Maria Killam. www.mariakillam.com I studied a few of her ebooks, all of her videos, and even did some econsults w/people who have been trained by her. Worth, Every. Penny. Before learning from her I had a 90% chance of being unhappy w/my colors and not knowing why. Now I have about a 80% chance of being HAPPY with my colors. The 20% would be outside interference. (read spouse.) You can "get it right the first time" with a few hours of new information. Good luck!!!!!

Oh, also, if you have a favorite bathroom inspiration photo (or ten) then just copy what you see. It's interesting that I wanted to spend so much time figuring things out when if I had simply copied what was in my inspiration photos, I would have loved it and I would have been done in about a day instead of agonizing over things for weeks. Can't wait to see photos of your choices!!

Thank you all for your comments and opinions. I realize I have not been organized or given enough info in this post. I will try to remedy that now.

We have an almost blank canvas for this project. The plumbing is in and we are drywalling right now. We plan to paint the walls and the cabinet before we install them. So, I am cutting things down to the wire.

First, layout. Second, a photo of the actual tub we have, except the drain and overflow are oil-rubbed bronze. Third, the fixture we have for the tub. Fourth, the vanity (it has a white quarts top IRL). Fifth, tile. Sixth, the same tile installed (taken off of the internet).

The cabinet that we have is unfinished oak and is 18W x 24D x 84T. It's a tall cabinet.

As for grout, we are staying away from white because it gets too dirty. Most of my friends who chose white said they regret it. The choice of brown is mostly so that it warms up the bright white of the tile.

The last photo is of a color scheme I am considering. The brown is the closest to the vanity I could find of the Benjamin Moore colors. I am considering the Shaker beige for the walls. The white would be for the trim. I will have to do more refining of the colors, but this is where my head is right now. Would a green like the one in the last photo work for the large cabinet, or would it be too overpowering?

Phew! I hope all of that makes sense!

Very woodsy, warm, almost craftsman feeling. Is that what you are going for? It's very nice. Just want to be sure that's what you want.

It's going to be so beautiful. Paint your walls and choose wall color last. I know it seems easier to do it before installing the vanity, but it will help in choosing your final colors. You want a blend of colors, not too many colors fighting for attention. Right now you are choosing w/out seeing the full picture.

Pinky swear and the Green are very nice together. Was Pinky Swear a wall option? Only thing I see is the cabinet has orange tones in it, so it's not blending with the Pinky Swear and the green so well. Another question -- do you know which color is on the trim in the rest of your house? Wall color should be the last choice. I know that's hard to grasp, but you want all your finishes in the room before choosing wall and trim color. Even if it's just putting all the finishes in one corner before they are installed and testing wall color choices on large poster boards.

Here are a bunch of bathroom notes from a color specialist. (in case they are helpful)

https://mariakillam.com/?s=bathroom

We live in the country, so all those styles you mentioned work for us. We did decide on colors and the bathroom is painted. We wanted to paint before we put the vanity, cabinet, toilet, and bathtub in. We went with Dune White as our primary color on three walls, Oxford White on our ceiling and trim, and Natural Linen for an accent wall behind the vanity and cabinet. We are going to paint the cabinet Raintree Green. I think it will all look nice with our red/brown cabinet and our varied white quartz vanity top.

Maybe black grout then? I recall seeing black grout (or was it very dirty white?) in some renovated homes.

Or, maybe a happy medium on the grout. A bronze shade like the fixtures. So one can't tell if it's black or brown?
