HELP!! Please comment! I'm losing it on this project!!!

3 years ago

This bathroom/shower has already been remodeled! Its freshly painted tiled and it has a new vanity and sink. I might be able to talk the owner into painting it a different color as it appears too yellow but as of right now this vanity has to stay with the copper sink and the black faucet. I am completely frustrated and don't know how to go about this project. I think that the engineered dark wood vanity with white marble top with gray lines and silver door handles is modern looking and has nothing to do with the earthy vibe of the travertine stone used on the floors and shower walls and that the copper sink is irrelevant to the modern feel of the vanity. There is silver, copper and black going on and the black faucets are too much contrast. As of now he wants to choose a mirror (has to be rectangle) and side lights. He does not want silver or a thin or a modern frame.also he wants another stand alone mirror to the side of the vanity and he wants me to find a short linen closet to put against the the wall between the shower and toilet. Can somebody please tell me how to go about this?!! Im really frustrated. More pictures attached.

he wants a mirror and side lights also a stand alone mirror to lean against the wall to the right of this picture

he also wants a short Linen closet to the left of leaning against the short wall

Can you provide better pictures of the complete room and explain why you are asking for votes?

The client sounds like he knows what he wants and the items don't sound hard to find. You might suggest a different paint color and explain to him a leaning mirror in a bathroom is a safety hazard not worth it.

Probably the way to go about the project is to do what the client wants if he is paying on schedule. You won't be living there. He will.

I don’t understand the situation. Obviously you aren’t the owner - who are you? A realtor? The tenant? His decorator?

Your instincts are right. The vanity top, trim and faucet are all wrong for this bathroom. Flatout wrong.

Why another post on this space . IMO the shower is amess and drives every choice made . Are you the designer and if so you screwed up royally and if not then why do you care? IMO all the choices needed to be made before anything was done .

Does that faucet even work with that sink - any splashing?

You definitely need to repaint the walls, I would grab paint chips of the following colors and look at them next to the travertine:

As well as:

Are the fixtures in the shower also black? If so, I would run with that. Change the silver handles on the vanity to black and find either a frameless or a black framed mirror and black light fixtures. Would I have chosen any of this? No. But it’s already done, so just take a deep breath and handle it.

Could something like this potentially double as a freestanding mirror and linen storage?

With all of those beauty/bath products, what this guy should have gotten was a large recessed mirrored medicine cabinet to store everything out of sight, but easy to reach.

Not sure what is going on here, but if this question is from a designer, wouldn't all of this have been presented to the client and approved *before* any work was done and any products were ordered?

MY point exactly. Maybe just some spam we are not realizing.
