Need help for my Bathroom colour choices

Catherine Richards

Hello Houzz Community

Please can you assist with a colour accessories choice for a bathroom. I have a small bathroom with white tiled from floor to ceiling. Light grey lino and silver accessories. Please can you advise what colour accessories to bring out the dullness.

Thanks Cathy

Colourful towels and a bath mat are great for adding colour to the bathroom. You could even add a piece of colourful artwork too. Here's some ideas for adding colour to the bathroom http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/info/blog/how-to-add-impact-to-your-bathroom-with-colour/

Dulux offer a massive range of mix your own colour choices. We use a lot of dulux paint and find that the shades come out just slightly lighter than those on the cards. Find an actual dulux store, or go to Homebase they mix also. dulux colour charts

I would probably choose an off white or white, to brighten the room and balance the greys in the wall tiling - you could even go with a satin white if you like, as it will make the room feel larger; the tiled walls are visually broken up into sections by the tile design, so a plain look for the rest of the room is what I'd recommend. If you include the door in your paint colour it will melt into the wall and make it feel larger and less "bitty", too. If you do not want to use white, you could go for a mid-grey that matches the mid-tones in the wall tiles and also the floor, but in this case it's very important to get the grey shade right - either a cool grey to offset the tiles, or a warm grey to go with them, although the danger there is that it might make the room a bit too bland. Personally, I love white - it's bright, neutral and you can always balance the minimalist "coolness" of white walls with accessories and/or artwork. Hope this helps - and good luck with your new house :)

I’m inclined to agree and think the purple a bit garish but see how it goes with second coat. End of the day it’s only paint and you can paint over it. You could also make the colour duller or less intense by getting a tin of the same brand/finish in a light or dark (depends how you’d like it) grey or beige colour and mix the purple in till you get to a colour you’re happier with. (I do this quite a lot, especially with tester pots on small projects). Personally I think a more muted colour would look nice, Dulux heartwood, soft truffle or mellow mocha for example (see pics) but that’s just my preference.

Catherine,

It really depend on the style of your home and your personal tastes here.

Black is my immediate thought as it works really well with the colours you mentioned and makes both white and silver look stunning. Black adds definition and a sleekness.

To best effect, this would work well with Contemporary or Art Deco style rooms which is why I mentioned the style of the house. Do you have a picture you could upload?

If you demand more of a statement then I would recommend Reds/Pinks or to be on trend and a bit more subtly try the Deep Indigo or Blue.

I hope it helps and look forward to seeing the design. Feel free to get in touch if you would like more advise. All the best, Gina
