Which colors go best together for a bathroom. Photos inside?
May 29, 2010, 6:22 pmOk I am having a bunch of problems choosing colors for my TINY Bathroom. Right now I don't have $$ to remodel so I'm "re-surfacing" the brown tiles (Basically changing the color the easy way,) and also painting the walls. I have included pictures of my bathroom. Some of them are poor quality. I had a horrible time uploading, so I apologize. I recommend you pause the slideshow then click on the pics individually. I'm trying to choose between either of the yellows for the walls. Let me remind you my bathroom is TINY so I'm using this color to brighten up the room. The whole bottom half of the room is white and you should be able to see this in some of the pics. As for the color of the tiles, that's where that color chart comes in. I know it sounds crazy but I like the 3 on the bottom right. The browns! haha. But these have a granite look to them so they should go real well with the yellow. Question is which yellow.. darker or lighter and then which one from the color chart for the tiles. lets use yellow 1 as the light yellow 2 as the darker. and then brown 1 2 or 3... going in the order you see them. Sorry for such a LONG post. but I really would appreciate help! Here are the colors. http://s237.photobucket.com/albums/ff138/irishblue82/Bath/?albumview=slideshow Any other ideas would be appreciated. THANKS!! Yes the white part is wood, Resurfacing is basically like a spray paint that goes over the tile. but it looks nice. The light fixture will be changed out to silver.. and I like the green but it is in my kitchen as well and it does not open up the room. as far as the creme goes...... the outside of the house is a khakhi type color as well as every other wall in my house except the kitchen and bath :) My main question is more which color to change the brown tile. -
