Bathroom Home Decorating Design Dilemma

Main Bathroom Design Help

Cassandra Conway

Here is my situation- we are renovating most of our house. The flooring for our main bathroom has to be this greige marble lvp that will run from the bedroom into the bathroom. I am one of the few people in the world who HATE greige (my husband picked the bedroom materials and colors). I prefer cooler colors. The house design scheme is transitional mountain. Lots if wood, stone, and natural materials. He is determined to do a lvp wall tile in the bathroom. I have a shower tile I love, and a wall tile I love. However, I am not the best judge of what will go with the greige flooring. How bad is this combo?

If you are using LVP flooring in a wood pattern ..from a quality label ….it is definitely not slippery..

I don't think those tiles go with the lvp at all. the lighter one is too cool in relation to the lvp. What about something in a white for the shower or a warm gray.

Can you clarify what you mean by LVP wall tile? Did you mean to say floor tile?

I agree with divadeva. More lights. If you can add pot lights do it. If they're already there add task lighting and up the wattage on the bulbs on the pot lights (replace with LED and you can make them brighter because the wattage on LED is lower for brighter light). If you have all of that add decorative lighting. If ventilation is an issue find a way to move the air around or add air filtration. Maybe the HVAC is deficient. Maybe you can add a HEPA filter instead of the standard one that comes with the unit. Call an HVAC specialist to see if there is a way to boost air flow in the room.

If you want some natural light you could run some transom windows across the top of the bedroom wall but there are lots of bathrooms that have no natural light and are lovely.

I HATE warm gray. White for showers feels really boring to me. Obviously I'm not into what's trendy 🤣 I meant lvp on both floors and walls. For some reason my husband really wants lvp on the walls. They have some that are developed specifically for that, but you can use any, I think. I am worried wood look lvp will look super super fake.

Luxury vinyl planks aka LVP is not suitable for walls. You really need to select proper materials for each surface. LVP can be too slippery when wet for your bathroom. I used it in a small bathroom with non-slip rugs.

Sharon, the lvp for the floor is textured to reduce slipping.

What are you using in the shower?

cpartist, I was going to use the dark gray tile in the picture. I like light and dark contrasts in cool tones.

Not to be blunt …but i don’t see any Marble pattern fitting into a transitional “Mountain” theme…and am not clear on where the black is going ….but for maintenance that has the potential to be a nightmare…. Like everything else ….you will get pertinent advice only if you give more info about the projects…i will suggest you try the photo section in Houzz…asking for “ transitional mountain bath rooms…for example ..experiment a little with the wording and you can see 100’s of pictures for inspiration

btydrvn, I scrolled through transitional mountain design bathroom pictures like you suggested, and found marble look flooring pretty quickly...
In any case, I have my answer. I was wondering if my dislike of greige was the reason I didn't like the combo pictured, but it isn't just me! Now to find a combo my husband will agree to that I don't hate 😏 wish me luck, I'll need it 😂😂😂

It doesn't look like those colors go together, perhaps looking at some designs of ours will aid you here. Take note of the flooring and colors used.
