I have a 1926 house and am in the process of updating a bathroom. Heart pine floor which is a medium brown with deep red in it. Original white clawfoot tub white pedestal sink and toilet. All fixtures are flat black. Ceiling is beadboard which will be painted. Good light coming through stained glass window which is clear textured glass with green and red in the center. Any suggestions for wall and trim color. I’m leaning toward a white. Thank you

I'd evaluate your countertops as well, before you make any decisions. Based on what you've already provided, it sounds like you do need a warmer white or even a pale greige. I do have a video on my top neutrals here that give colors for both of those: kzitem.info/news/bejne/x36azpaYmqF0dY4. I also offer paint color consultations if you want a more personalized recommendation and you can find those here: homelikeyoumeanit.com/hire-me/

All the videos on bathroom colors are always cool colors like blue and grey. I want a bathroom to feel more like a spa so I prefer earthy and warm colors. It’s hard to find videos that don’t lean to the blue and grey and cool greens. Would love to see a video on spa-like earthy paint colors. I want to feel like I’m in the day spa of a resort in Bali! Or Sedona. Or Aspen.

This is exactly the advice I needed for my re-do of a 6x5 windowless, low ceiling powder room. I probably wasted a little money buying paint samples and a lot of paint color peel off sheets before watching this, but I learned a little doing that too. Bottom line, i now know I need to wait until the new gray vanity I ordered is installed so I can really test out my various choices. Thanks!

Yes, good call! It can be so hard to wait until the bigger elements are in place, but you end up saving time and money because you make the correct color decision the first time around!

I have been painting my ceilings the same colour as my walls since i was a 16yr old teenager doing my first flat 40 yrs ago, not to make the place look bigger, although I appreciated the affect & the aesthetic in my smaĺl roomed flats..., however, I do it when possible simply because it saves all the tricky cutting in with another shade ! 😊

We remodeling a guest bedroom in our home.....we are replacing everything EXCEPT for the almond shower/tub cultured marble walls....ugh. It is genuinely in perfect condition because this bathroom is rarely used and there will be a shower curtain so really won't be seen. The tub is technically' biscui't to me and so the new toilet is Kohler 'biscuit'. They are both nice colors which are not too far from traditional white....it is just this ugly almond shower which to me leans super creamy almost yellow and I hate it. But my husband will not budge on this, so again new paint, tile floor and vanity. I just don't know what color to use that will make the shower look less ugly. lol. I am not even sure what vanity to get because everything I see to purchase leans cool and crisp in regards to vanity tops and sinks. Any advice would be so appreciated!

We have a narrow bath and are thinking about floor-to-ceiling white pickett tiles along the wall with the drop-in tub/shower, and dark grey slate for the floor tiles (and up the side of the tub). Question is - what color to paint the opposite wall (where the vanity is). Thoughts? Saturated? Neutral? I'd like to match the ceiling to the wall like you suggest, but would matching the tile wall color work or does it have to be the paint wall?

Hey there, if you look in the video description, I've identified each paint color and the brand associated. LRV stands for light reflectance value and essentially tells you how light or dark a paint color is. 100 is pure white and 0 is pure black. Hope this helps!

Bathrooms with no natural light just mean that you have to provide all of the light artificially. So if you don't want a dark bathroom, make sure to incorporate lots of light. Unlike a bathroom with natural light, no one's going to be tempted to use the bathroom without turning the lights on, so you actually have better control of the lighting.

Question - it is under a steep peaked roof, should the "ceiling" - which is half the wall in part - be the same sheen/finish? It can be damp in the room so want to have a good hardness to the paint.

The fixed elements in my small windowless guest bath are warm…tan floor tile with tiny bits of bone and gray. The granite countertop is a mix of brown, tan, charcoal gray, bone, and terracotta. Shower tile walls are solid bone color, with shower niche inset tiles round quarter size dots, a mix of charcoal gray, dark and light grays, and white. And floor tile nickel size tile dots of white, brown and gray streaks. Sink and commode are white. Do you have any paint color recommendations for me?
