Please help pick a color for a mirror frame

12 years ago
Guys, I made the mirror frame (attached) and need help with picking the color to complement the bathroom, per attached pictures. Pleas help with ideas. Also, please let me know if you have a specific color/manufacturer in mind that would work.

Thank you so much in advance.

    This is a closer color of the cabinets. Where are my brilliant color specialists? I would LOVE to hear some other ideas?

    Btw, I am VERY open to any other beautiful color ideas that may work.

    The mirror frame should match the vanity cabinet. The wall color should complement the tile floor and wood tones in the bathroom.

    Rose Aten Design LLC: Do you have a specific color(s) ideas that would work, based on the bathroom interior?

    Victoria Micu: Very interesting idea... Can you please describe how you see the colors used? I would like to get a better understanding.

    Amy: What color do you think would be best to complement the cabinets? Silver? Do you see the whole frame painted silver? In your vision, what do you think the silver color would complement?

    It would make more sense to try to match the color of the vanity. P.S. how does your breakfast nook look?

    Are the walls staying they yellow color you really need some pop of color in here, like an accent behind the mirror. No silver, with your cabinet brown and the faucet bronze an Antique Gold would be better if you want a metallic.

    Hidell Hardware: Yes, for now, we are not changing the wall color. Its a standard beige color used in new construction. Would you pain the entire frame in Antique Gold, or would you recommend doing a distressed look with another color coming through For example: First paint Antique Gold, then Oil Bronze on top and remove some of the Oil Bronze in some of the places to reveal the Antique Gold. (per attached picture... i think their main is black..) Just an idea... Maybe other two colors? Any thoughts?

    A white frame,(the same as the window and door frame in your bath) with uneven gold pattern.I did not find a perfect example, just something like it

    This would be a great look. To bring some color in I would use some bright colored accessories, reds, golds, greens...etc.

    I think if you used white on the light color paint it is too monochromatic.

    Jake I love YOUR idea for oiled bronze/Antique gold. The shimmer will help keep the light, and the overall look would suit the cabinets AND the faucets.
    Good luck. :-)

    You should try and match the vanity color. Best of luck on your renovation!

    Mistaken your thoughts for wall color, trim molding applied to a mirror should match cabinetry , not the counter top.

    I guess match the vanity... I would've used two pretty mirrors..and sconces, but you may be able to accessorize around it. You have a nice, large area to work with.

    Definetely the espresso like the cabinets, but the oiled bronze idea is not bad, you don't always have to match everything! Sometimes not matching is the better alternative!!

    Jake, have you seen the Rustoleum metal spray paints? They come in different metal finishes and different textures. I have used the hammered bronze and it looked great.

    WOW!!! Love it. Nice job.

    I was going to say espresso but you already finished the project haha. Looks great!

    Gorgeous- did you paint the walls?
  • 12 years ago
    The walls were already that color. Ended up building the mirror from two different pieces of moulding. Painted it gold, then oil rubbed bronze and distressed it, by bringing some of the gold accents to the top. Used hobby lobby for all of the accessories. Also, you can't see it here, but its in the middle, there is a new pull, I ended up building a pullout cabinet for my better half to store all the various bottles/creams/makeup/perfumes. Went to home depot to see how it was done in a kitchen model and did one better. )) We both love it. Now, onto the next room - Kitchen Area. I made some wall shelves. We just bought a kitchen table with 4 chairs and I will be bringing it back to life with some chalk paint. Can't wait to try it and see what happens.
