Best Paint Color for Bathroom?

Question

We want to sell our 1906 house next year; and our looking for paint colors that most people will like or at least colors most people won't hate. We've already painted the living room sage green & kitchen and master bedroom pale yellow so don't want to use those colors again. What color do you think we should paint the master bathroom? We are planning on doing all the tiles and counters in white and white shades when we remodel so any paint color shouldn't clash. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Very pale, cool colors give a spa-like quality to bathrooms, which is very popular right now. Try a pale green or blue. Make everything very soft and it will blend perfectly with the white shades of tile.

Answer 2

If you are redoing the tile and counters, what's a $40 can of paint too?? You can repaint in a few hours, so don't limit yourself there.

Have you gone to www.Behr.com ?? This is a neat site that helps with paint color selection. Just put your two paint colors into the box and then ask for a coordinating color. I guessed at your colors and came away with a medium ocean blue for one suggestion and a medium reddish brown for another. Third suggestion was a lighter version of the green. Remember these recommendations assume you are working with just one room, so the suggestions are conservative.

See what you come up with.

Answer 3

The best color to use would be a tan. Tan tones are not overwhelming and go excellent with with tiles, counters, and white shades. Tan also will keep the bathroom flowing with the rest of the house.

Oh my I wish I could post a picture of my bathroom that I just finished last week. White trim, white beadboard, white vanity, black and white tiles on the floor and the walls simply make it all come together....it's so beautiful! The color is Coffee, American Signature found at Lowe's.

Answer 5

I say white or off white; mainly due to the fact that people tend to change their bathroom decor often. If you stay neutral, then there is no risk of clashing. A bathroom and kitchen are 2 areas that I think white and off white paint is a home buyers dream. It's like a clean palette to do whatever you want in terms pots, pans, towels, etc in both of those rooms.

Answer 6

Nope, the best way to sell your house it would have been neutral colors (off white, or white). Any Realestate person could have told you that. The reason being is that most people are afraid of color and you can never appease someone when it comes to color. They will have to make changes once they get in the house themselves..

I even have precisely the comparable shade scheme - I even have executed my partitions in a dusky plum variety shade. i will't supply you the call of the paint because of the fact the save the place i offered the paint rather made the colour for me from a roll of wall paper. to help me chosen I took a floor tile, a wall tile and a border tile to the paint shop with me and went via thousands of diverse colours. i attempted small trial pots in vegetables, greys, cream, whites, blues all of that have been disastrous till I got here up with the plum theory. It looks great. you in effortless terms would desire to characteristic some heat temperature on your shade scheme. while you're rather brave you will desire to attempt vivid purple or orange I did the bathing room in my final residing house in the comparable tile colours as you have stated and painted the partitions in purple and orange - brave yet mind-blowing in case you have a huge bathing room yet this time I chosen to be slightly greater conservative cos those colours does not pass with something of my residing house. satisfied paint looking.

Answer 8

Based on the age of your house, you should stick with a historic period color. The color is up to you, just don't do anything too loud. I'm partial to blue and white in the bath but that's just me.

Answer 9

Maybe a colour that is very muted like very pale blue or pink, because you have white in your bathroom make it blend nicely with a lighter softer colour.
