re-doing my bathroom - color ideas?

Question

I am thinking of taking down the wall paper in my basement bathroom and doing a whole new color.. I can not decide what color to use.. the wall in the basement is wood and would like ideason a color that would go with the wood.. I love earthy tones and would appreciate any ideas

Answer 1

Oyster Shell by Olympic paint is a great Khaki green/brown. in some lights it looks more green, in others more brown but it is very earthy and looks great with accents of red-orange, or creams or beiges ( as long as they aren't in the pink family). also looks good with animal prints (towels for example).

Answer 2

You could do a deep reddish-burgundy color for the bathroom. That color really seems to go well with wood. Good luck!

Answer 3

Dark color's are best for bathrooms, however if you want an earthy tone i suggest green.

Answer 4

Earthy tones that aren't too dark:
ivory
warm beige
honey [ pale gold ]
caramel
leaf green
sage green
grass green
Or, combos of the above!

Answer 5

how about wall paper that looks like wood..or a light tan color.. how ever if you have children and you decide to paint i would go with the kind that you can wash with soap and water

Answer 6

I second the green suggestion. A nice sage green would look great with the wood, and give you that natural look.

Answer 7

'monroe bisque' is a nice medium peanut color which works superbly with so many other colors but not every color so you still haveto be careful. the maker is benjamin moore

Answer 8

I think a brownish coral color would look beautiful.

Answer 9

Red and white tiles! Or Light blue and white!
