Bathroom Refurb - colour advice please!

6 years ago
Hi there,
We have recently moved into a new house and want to spruce up the main bathroom without completely redoing it.
The sanitary ware is white and there are dark grey floor tiles and cream wall tiles but the overall look is uninspiring.
We are getting the damaged bath panel replaced but I would like some ideas regarding paint colour and how I can make it look better.
Would consider a bold colour scheme or neutral for the ‘spa’ feel but don’t know where to start - help please Houzzers!

Comments (11)Dytecture, I see you have the same idea I was going to post! Put that dining table close to kitchen's open wall! I mean who wants to get up from the table to use "the facilities" with everyone sitting right there? I was thinking of flipping the placement of the tv unit and one of the sofas. Back of sofa would create a sort of hallway into the bathroom. That way no problem with plugging tv in, hiding cords, etc. Cozy it up with choice of wall paint, art, area rugs, plants. Enjoy! PS: Add a small metal bistro table with a couple of chairs to the patio area. That is also great living space....See MoreBath tub ledge

Comments (76)HI RinaI do agree I love jewelbox rooms, but I consider them more cosy ... and with a grey marble floor it goes all Versace Italianate! I am trying to balance the colours by bringing in a pattern on the covers rather than plain. I feel this will bring colour without overpowering the room. In the pictures I showed above, the rooms are basically neutral but the colour is brought in via pattern - I think this might be the way to go...Ideally a green or blue on a subdued grey would be the best, but I dont know what the market is like for Sumit...Cushions can do a lot to tie in the other white/grey elements.Shelley - navy is a good suggestion, but as Sumits area is quite tall and thin, trying to keep the general area light Any more suggestions most welcome. These are just ideas after all and Sumit will choose what works for the room in the end ;-)...See MoreBacksplash help White Kitchen
Comments (13)If you love the marble tile, go for it! You can always buy a stainless or white range hood backsplash like this http://www.wayfair.com/Air-King-Range-Hood-Back-Splash-SP2430-AXK1174.html to slip in place when you are cooking something really messy. I have a travertine backsplash and use a stainless sheet when frying. It works great and no worries about stains ruining the stone....See More

6 years agoHi, I think a deep muted colour would look great, but with a darker colour I think you would need to address lighting to make it feel more luxurious. I don’t see a mirror above the sink. Maybe a mirror cabinet with overhead lighting or wall lights either side would do the trick. Another bold option to consider is wallpaper. Loads of styles to choose from and to protect it from water/steam use decorators varnish over the top. Agree with Jen P with dark wood bath panel as this will match your blind. Here’s some ideas:

6 years agoHi. It's hard to tell colours online but your tiles seem to have a green undertone, wonder if farrow and ball mouses back (1st pic) would work? I'd add a wooden bath mat, this one is available from Victorian plumbing. On the wall opposite the sink a towel holder with a hammam towel, this is from not on the high street and available in a few colours. Do you also have room for art on that wall? I'd add a potted plant at the end of the bath. If you have the space then 3 small dark wood shelves over the wc and mirror over the sink and add candles etc.

6 years agoThanks all - some great advice. Think bolder is the way forward although I’m not keen on the dark wood blind so was planning on getting rid of it - maybe need to rethink given your comments or go for warmer wood shelves?
Have seen following colour ideas so need to decide if I’m brave enough!
