what colour to put in on a wall in a grey and light bathroom
We want to paint the untiled wall but not sure what colour. We have concrete looking tiles and floor with a clay coloured vanity unit. Should we go for something that blends in or contrasts?

Bathroom Wall Tiles - what colour paint and floor tiles?
Comments (3)Hi there, We have an assortment of floor tiles that you could choose from! I'd recommend any colour that's darker than the wall tiles, as it should mean you won't find yourself constantly worrying about cleaning up after yourself....See MoreBathroom wall colour
Comments (7)Hi Minnie.Due to the metro's already being grey I would suggest a lighter grey or a chalk white. It's tough with a rental as you want something attractive to potential tenants and anything too bold may put people off (not everyone is cool!) Have you thought about doing a feature wall in tin tile wallpaper? Its commercial grade so very tough anyway but to be on the safe side you can simply paint over it with Decorators Varnish which costs less than £10 for a 500ml tin and you simply paint it on your wallpaper and it will be perfectly sealed protecting it from water splashes etc. You can get that from Polyvine, link here....See MoreDark grey walls in bathroom ?
Comments (13)I recently painted mine in railings (I will be having the karndean parquet put down and the bath colour still needs to change). My room is east facing but with 2 decent size sash Windows. It shows as black in the pic but very much reads as blue in the room, plus the room is very light which doesn't show with my photography skills :( If you haven't got plenty of natural light then do focus on artificial. My panelling was originally in elephants breath and I think the railings has much more of a wow impact. You may find it closes the room in a little though as you've got the pale wood wall which will contrast...See MoreAny suggestions for pale grey bathroom paint?
Comments (3)I'd highly recommend going to B&Q and collecting a lot of the colour cards from the Valspar range. Dulux paint although wonderful, is horrific in it's inability to match any of the colour cards. Take the cards home, put them on the wall and choose a shade that you like. Then get the paint mixed. It's pointless trying to name shades, you have to have the colour cards on the wall to make an educated selection....See More

3 years agoI’m not too sure on peignoir, I took two different images of it and photoshopped it, does it look a bit meh?
Moles breath I guess it depends on the light. I don’t suppose your husband would consider colour for accessories?!
i will try a few more colours though

I think E B could work though depending on the orientation Although if you wanted more of a contrast I’d try what Hannah suggested
