Bathroom design opinions

yesterday
last modified: yesterday

Hi I would like opinions on this potential design for my hall bathroom. The mockup photo is attached. I am thinking of putting in some Walnut wood look tile. I went with black fixtures because I figured those are the easiest to maintain. My oil rubbed bronze fixture in my kitchen he's ready for replacement after only 3 years. Shower tile is juniper meadow from floor and decor, and the tiles are a gray hexagon. Wall color is going to be a very light gray color. Thanks in advance for your help!

    really like the green subway in the shower with the black fixtures, that combo works. one thing I'd tweak: the walnut look floor is pretty dark next to all that green, so a slightly lighter warm wood would keep the room from feeling heavy. and I'd pick a warm white for the walls over light gray so it plays nicer with the wood. matte black is easy to live with, just wipe hard water spots often.

    lovely. although I can tell you from experience, black fixtures do not maintain their color over time

    Do you have the same natural light from a window?

    It's going to feel much darker than the image.

    Agree with Lyn. If you do not get natural light from the window, the bath will look dark.

    I don’t get a lot of natural light from the window, as it is north-facing. I’m also looking non wood-look tile. What do you all think about a lighter gray-colored tile, maybe 12”x24” or 24”x24”? If you have a color suggestion from Floor & Decor, I’d appreciate it.

    seafoam colored glass tile would look lovely. much lighter

    What do you think of this? It is a gray colored wood look tile.

    Donna G, north facing changes things. That gray wood look is a solid move, way better than the walnut in low light. Just make sure it's a warm gray, not a blue gray, or it'll go flat next to the green shower tile. A long plank like 8x48 in matte keeps it calm. Lay a sample beside your shower tile in the actual room at night under your vanity lights before you buy. That's where you'll see if they get along.

    @Boss Design Center, can you suggest a tile that is not wood-look that might work with the green shower tile? The vanity top is a gray. I’m having a tough time deciding what would look the best. My daughter thinks dark gray, but I believe may lighter gray would look better. Thank you. From Floor & Decor’s website:


    Key colors in the Juniper Meadow palette. From the listed materials and finish options, the tile’s color range include:

    Floor & Decor+1:

    • Green – the dominant, elegant base tone
    • Matte Black – deep, neutral accent
    • Brilliant White – bright, clean highlight
    • Smoke Gray – soft, muted gray
    • Greige – a blend of gray and beige for warmth
    • Frosty Dusty Gray – cool, muted gray tone
    • Antique White – warm, aged white
    • Linen – soft, natural beige tone
    • Contemporary – modern neutral shade
    • Slate – cool, stone‑like gray
    • Pattern / Stone Look – natural stone‑inspired variations

    @Donna G go lighter, your instinct is right. Dark gray in a north bath with a gray vanity top turns into a cave. I'd do a warm light gray or soft greige porcelain in 12x24, matte, laid in a simple offset no more than a third. Pull the tone from the lightest gray in the Juniper Meadow, not the darkest, so the green shower tile stays the star. Grab two or three samples, set them next to the shower tile and vanity top, and check them under your actual bulbs at night.

    Unfortunately I don't have a place nearby. I have Floor & Decor and Home Depot. I'm going with Floor and Decor because I had a good experience buying my vinyl floors and kitchen tile from them.
