Help with Bathroom Remodel (ideas & colors!)
I am planning to "spruce" up 2 full bathrooms in my house....not a full
renovation. Budget is definitely a concern. Would LOVE some input for
colors and ideas!
For reference, the rest of the house is transitional/traditional decor style with a color palate of ivory, white, slate grey, charcoal grey, black, burgundy, sage green, etc. It is a VERY open floorplan, so cohesive design is something to think about. We have dark furniture woodtones (cherry, 'cappuccino' finishes), with a combination of medium woodtones on railings, baseboards, doors. Fixtures throughout the house are a combination of oil-rubbed bronze and brushed nickel.
MASTER BATH (pics included)
Bedroom nearby is painted light sage green, white drapes, white/ivory/black linens. We are considering some sort of grey paint in this bathroom, and are already planning to stain the cabinets to a mocha gel finish. Our biggest worry is that the fixtures are all Ivory or beige. Countertop is an odd beige with a slightly yellow tone (not sure if that's just how the light hits it though). The floor is vinyl...mostly ivory with a bit of grey and rose coloring. This bathroom is small, with no windows nearby.
Question: What color scheme do we go with? Will grey work, or will it make the ivory and beige stand out horribly and look too yellow? Does grey work with medium toned baseboards and doors and darker cabinets? I've seen a ton of grey with white baseboards, but not much else!
- other changes we're considering: replacing light fixture, faucet, cabinet hardware with brushed nickel, border on the mirror (though worried it might make the room 'shrink'), doing something about the medicine cabinet.
- not considering: replacing any large fixtures (cabinets, counter, mirror, tub, toilet, sink). floors (unless we have no other option).
SPARE BATH (pics not included)
Basically a 180 degree layout flip of the master bath with a smaller glass/bronze shower stall instead of full tub. Planning to do the same stain/hardware swap in this bathroom. Thinking of a more earthtone scheme for this bathroom. Will a darker sage green, taupe or brown wall color work? Think "palm tree" decor in here.
Same 'consideration' list as above applies here too.
Again, our biggest worry is that with small rooms and no windows, we don't want to make the rooms feel smaller, but we also HATE the combinations of ivory/beige blah that we currently have. Help!
Specific colors or photo examples are welcome as we start planning for
this project. Thank you all!
