Bathrooms are generally smaller and lighter tiles make the room look bigger. There is also the old stigma that whiter is cleaner. However, it's all personal choice and you can easily choose a darker color.

that's what I meant. The cabinets below and above the counter can be finished with a light toned wood grained laminate. if you feel that is too plain, another option would be to go with light wood grain below and plain off white above. Maybe add a couple of wood grained shutters above also to break the monotony

Hello there, If you are planning for a jaali, you need to ensure at least 50% light passing capability for plants. If going for wooden slats, go for adjustable slats. If going for steel, it would preferred a slide and fold structure. As for bugs , install a retractable bug screen or choose bug deterrent plants like aglonaema, cyathea, palmyra, fragrant herbs etc. Regards, Aurum Ideas and Spaces Bhubaneswar

Rajiv, You may need to specify the floor plan and requirements from each area. If you have opted for a false ceiling the design of that as well will help to answer. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.
