Hall bathroom help needed.

3 years ago

The travertine stays because it flows from the hall. I would like my same dark cabinets for vanity and linen cabinets. But I will have a new tub and need a tile to work with the countertop also! This is my current old 60s bathroom to be gutted. Not moving the plumbing! No window in here. Not a fan of gray. eI think I want quartz counters. Sink color?

    Look for a warm white tile that goes with the floors for the tub surround. Bring home some tiles or order samples online to try different whites. The current wall color looks like a good choice with the floors, and dark wood cabinets will look good, except a dark linen cabinet as large as what you have now could be a little oppressive. However, stock white cabinets tend to be cool whites which wouldn't look good with the floors, so unless you are able to buy something that will be the right white or can be painted a color of your choice stick with the wood finish. Another option is to frame the linen closet like a regular closet and put narrow double doors on it that match the style of the door into the room. That could be cheaper than buying a wood cabinet. Do you use all the space in the cabinet now? You could always make it smaller to increase your counter space. It's usually not difficult to move a sink over a couple inches but consult a plumber about your specific situation.

    Thank you. Yes I use the linen cabinet it’s full. I don’t have storage in my primary bathroom. I like the idea of framing the current linen cabinet but that wood stinks cuz it’s so old. I priced out custom vanity and linen closet to match the hall and kitchen but it was 8k ! Thank you for the tile suggestion

    With those gorgeous floors and dark cabinets, I’d go for brass hardware and get white tiles and a white quartz countertop that matches the new tub.

    Thank you this looks nice. What tile around the new tub/shower ?

    I mean style of tile. Subway seems to blah

    I’d look at the possibility of panels rather than tiles so you don't have grout to clean.

    Does the floor tile go under the cabinets?

    I think you can go blah on the tiles so that nothing fights with the floors or wood grain.

    Thank you. No on the travertine going under the cabinets but I have extra so it can

    Thinking something like this arrangement for sink and storage (using one pedestal sink). Rip out what is there, add the left over tiles and scout around for two tall storage cabinets....even IKEA would work.



    Keep the bathroom tiles...I like them, for a change.

    Paper the walls and have a matching print shower curtain made







    This paper and matching fabric is Anna French for Thibaut, Antilles Collection.

    It's a good way to hide the brown tiles because when you close the curtain you have 4 "walls" in the same print.
