Boring bathroom needs help
This is our “powder room” on the main floor. It’s really boring and needs an upgrade. Floors are being replaced with Evoke Surge laminate in the color Lauren next month, so I’m in a position to change everything about it. Walls are Sherwin Williams Accessible Beige. My design style is laidback, almost “Japandi” (I guess?) with pops of dark blue, teal, maybe a little dark green, and various shades of grey. Help!

Floating sink in wood could bring in the Scandi look. You'd have to see what wood looks best with your flooring. Use black faucet and black for other fixtures in the room including lighting.

On the walls I like the idea of grasscloth to bring in a natural element. I'd prefer a neutral, natural color so the black fixtures can pop off it. In this case I'd use a black mirror too. If you use a greyish or blueish grasscloth you could hang a natural wood colored mirror like above to contrast the walls.

Put a simple piece of artwork above the toilet that has a lot of negative space and brings in some of the colors that you like.

I'm not sure what your lighting situation is but I would go minimal and contemporary.Related Discussions

Comments (18)We are still working on our new house, there is currently a bath with a glass half screen that is totally useless. The water bounces off whoever is showering past the screen and over the toilet, the floor, the ceiling, and it's only a half tiled wall so the wallpaper is peeling. I've considered the P or d shaped baths which give a larger section at one end in which to stand when using the shower and I've seen there are matching curved glass screens to go with them. Two points to consider. 1. If you are not planning on staying a shower could be a good selling point, the water saving of a shower versus a bath. Our last bath hardly saw a look in during 16 years and although it was a lovely deep double ended steel bath it gathered dust and the shower was definately the go-to choice. 2. I am now considering the usability of the bathroom for an elderly relative who has had a stroke, likes baths, but may not be able to get into, or out of one, with dignity intact. I'm thinking that a large walk in shower with additional wall jets could be a good option and the upscale could be a wow factor. Although you may not be in the same position you can never have enough forward planning....See MoreBoring bathroom
Comments (6)Hi Fiona, you could definitely feature a mirror above your sink. Lots of people are using round mirrors in bathrooms as an alternative to a traditional looking design. Like this below We have lots of mirrors available on our website that would look great in a bathroom! http://www.exclusivemirrors.co.uk/...See MoreNeed bathroom inspirations for compact bathroom
Comments (10)Hi. I'm a bit confused, have you bought the vanity and are looking to paint it? Is the rest of the bathroom fitted as you could add brass or copper taps for instance with a matching mirror? Accessories will also warm it. I like a little wooden stool in a bathroom which you can add accessories to i.e. A candle, natural sponge, flannel etc which has some texture. A plant on the window sill if you have one and then nice accessories for the sink and either some coloured towels or I like hammam ones. I've found a couple of pics but they may not post as houzz has issues :( These are using deep rich colours which may bring the cabinet towards you a little. A darker top for the vanity would also work...See Morebathroom floor help needed
Comments (7)Couldn't find Travertine effect tiles that I liked, so went with a different, but similar effect tile. Seeing them in real life next to your existing tiles is important. But I'd definitely go for something like the one I posted....See More- PRO

2 years agoI like the idea of grass cloth.
I especially like it with green tile. Maybe you can incorporate somewhere. (See photos below)New mirror

2 years agoThis is a digital rendering of what the floor will look like. Trim will be white (I am painting it while floor is being installed). Also this is my current lighting situation 🤢
I’ve toyed with the idea of getting rid of the towel ring and just using paper towels, but I don’t have a place to put a nice tray to hold them.
