Would a burgandy color on top of white beaded board look good together in a bathroom I just remodeled ?

Question

I live in an old home and I just remodeled my bathroom and put beaded board four feet around the bathroom. I need color and I have wallpaper on the top half. Blue, pink, green and brown colors. I want to change my rugs and towels to burgandy and or dark greens. My floor looks like wood grain. Should I be bold and paint it a bright color My room is large and light. My appliances are in the room and they are white. Thanks for your imput. Shelby

Answer 1

Burgandy sounds lovely and also right for an older home. The beaded board is an excellent idea. Sounds like you have it figured out all by yourself! A dark color will be fine in a large, sunny room. Besides, you have the white to brighten things up. Go for it!

Answer 2

I think that it is an excellent idea. It will be very pretty and complimentary. And remember that it's an old "wive's tale" that dark colors make a room look smaller. That's incorrect. They actually give the appearance of big and large because they stand out. It's when it's dark and crowded that things appear smaller.

I say to go for it! and maybe even get curtains to match!

Answer 3

That sounds like a beautiful bathroom! And yes, bold colors are good for what you're doing.

Answer 4

The bathroom is large? I would need a picture to tell you, if you want, send me one. I think for a bathroom, having a darker color would make it look too small.
