    I would suggest you start an ideabook here on Houzz and collect photos of bathrooms you like in it. If you go to 'browse rooms' and choose Bath, you can even type in 'beige' in the search box. See what comes up and what you like and if you mouse over a photo you can save it to you ideabook.

    Do you have any photos ?
  • 12 years ago
    It looks like the photos are sideways. Can you give us some dimensions and a description of the room? It looks like a long straight room maybe 5 feet by 8 feet with the door on the narrow end in th corner and a tall narrow window directly opposite the door. I can't quite make out the second picture. Is that the corner where a shower used to be?

    yes ur description is absolutely right . can you please help me out by making it look modern -different .
  • 12 years ago
    It would help everybody out here a great deal if we had exact dimensions of the room.

    its 9 by 4 feet . as per the first picture that's the entrance and on the left planning to have a basin with cabinet below then the camod and a glass door with the shower at the extreme end as shown in the second picture . the long tile is a niche for keeping bottles .

    What is on the walls? Do you want to keep it, or do a lot of work to refining the walls. Is it on all 4 walls? What are the dimensions of the window, and how far off the floor is the bottom of the window? Also a couple more pictures from different angles might help. Like show us the other 2 corners better and what is on the floor.

    It looks like a travertine marble on the walls - very nice! Seen this done with shots of burgundy and it works beautifully (my 2 cents worth!)

    Wow, that is extra narrow.
  • 12 years ago
    So I will assume all the fixtures fit, and are decide? sink, comode, and shower? and we are looking to accessories?

    How long is the vanity going to be? Have you picked a color?
  • 12 years ago
    What will comode color be?
  • 12 years ago
    we still have to pick up the basin .. but the camode is white . how to accessories around the mirror so that the whole bathroom stands out

    Would this kind of sink help the room? It is IKEA, found it on another post here. it is only 10 inches deep. Is asvinteriors right about the walls? How long is the vanity space, so we know what kind of mirror to look for. wall material is important to know.

    I know, a lot of questions. But one more. Where are the lights going to be? Is there one over the vanity on the wall or in the ceiling. What are your prefrences? Probably a recessed light over shower?
  • 12 years ago
    yes there is a light on the vanity .. i was thinking of having two wall lights on either side of the mirror . the vanity is around 2 1/2feet

    So for this to work, you need to go back through my question and make sure you have answered all of them the best you can. Is the electrical outlet for the counter space going to be right next to the switch, or is it that blurred spot that I see in the picture, . If your walls are Travertine marble, and there are not already electrical boxes in the exact location the lights go, we are going to have a hard time. If a 30" vanity goes in the corner, and you leave 5" on each side for the lights, that leaves a 20" mirror with one light jammed tight into the corner. So if we leave another inch on both sides, for clearance, that leaves 18" mirror. If you put a 3" frame around the mirror mirror, that only allows for 12" of actual mirror. I don't think that is enough mirror. Your bath is too narrow for a mirrored cabinet with built in lights unless it is recessed into th wall. The plumbing is probably in the way for that. Give me your thoughts on what I have just said, and then go back and answer all my questions. Then we can take it from there with a narrower down and focused search.

    You might think about a plain 30" wide mirror with a crown and a stool attached, but no sir frame. Then we would put some tulip lights right on top of the mirror on both sides. You would then need a recessed light or two in the ceiling as well to provide enough light.

    thank u Fred . keeping ur points in mind i will give away the thought of having either side light . im having false ceiling so there is going to b enough light. can u help me with what kind /color of frame i should use around the mirror. please help me out with the whole basin area , regarding the frame ( should there be a contrast or i should stick with brown family or u suggest something new ), basin, cabinet .

    I would go to a picture framing studio and pick out a rich looking frame. Make it as wide as the sink area and as tall as you can. Then get a mirror cut to fit inside. You will probably want to spray an extra coat of clear protective finish on the frame. Not tight to wall or ceiling.

    I doubt you will find anything of the stock bathroom variety to work.
  • 12 years ago
    Just think of it as the biggest painting you would put in that space, when determining size.
  • 12 years ago
    You could also put a small matching mirror on the wall opposite the sink. They are handy. I think if you find the mirror frame the basin cabinet inspiration will come to you.

    thank u since much Fred . will keep you updated but can u guide me with the color i should look out for
  • 12 years ago
    I am still looking. Here is a walnut frame. It looks like there are some dark accents in the right photo. That would be a good color.
