Design Dilemma (bathrm): What should be painted?

last year

The photos shown, the bathroom no longer looks the way it is. Instead, the floor tile has changed to large square slate tiles- grid layout, the shower tiles: matte cement bone subway tiles installed grid horizontal (NOT vertical as shown in an image shared in this post), the shower hardware: brushed gold… the design dilemma is the wood panels that take up half of the walls starting from the floor to half way up the walls will be painted Benjamin Moore Hunter Green & the rest of the walls from half way up to ceiling (including the ceiling) will be Benjamin Moore Soft Chamois. With that said, wondering if both the built in cabinetry (outlined with a red rectangle) on the left side of the shower-tub, the small section of wall on the right side of the shower-tub (outline with a red rectangle) & the inside of the door (not shown) should they also be painted Hunter Green -OR- Soft Chamois? Or should only 2/3 be painted one of these colors? Or only the cabinetry? What looks best to execute & not look awkward?

Small section of wall should be painted the same color as the upper half of the walls and ceiling. The cabinet should be painted green.

It's really a pretty cool linen cabinet. What a nice feature to have in a bathroom!

Trying to go for a Northwest Pacific style feel.

Or should neither 3: cabinetry, small narrow section of wall right of shower-tub & inside of the door be painted Hunter Green but instead, be painted the same color as upper half walls & ceiling which is going to be soft chamois?

I would do the 2 small pieces of wall split color so it flows with the rest of the room. I would do all that painting first before deciding on the linen closet. See what it looks like .

I actually would probably paint the linen a crisp white like the fixtures.

Definitely post pictures when you are done!

@Debbi Washburn someone else suggested what you’re advising as well and it’s growing on me… do you think having 3 different colors: white, soft chamois & hunter green going in a small space with its designated placements would work? I guess cause tires saying there’s already 3, white being the sink, toilet and tub? Definitely will paint the certain colors and then determine on the undecided parts as you suggested. Thank you~

I love the colors so far. Since the linen is a built in piece, I think the idea of it being white works with the rest of the white in the space.

Kendrah & Debbi- would you paint the inside of the door hunter green too? Or have it the same as the upper half of the walls and ceiling: soft chamois?

The door to the room? I would leave it white.
