What color would you paint this tiny laundry room?

[Deleted]

Here are a couple of in-progress pictures, which aren't very good because the space is so small! The tile just got laid today - the grout will be off-white.  And I did decide to do a sink because hey, why not?

I need to pick a paint color.  I'm thinking yellow, or yellow and white wide horizontal stripes, but I'm not sure that would look good in such a small space.  Anyone have an opinion?

What about (light)gray with (bright)yellow vertical stripes?

[TrudyCampbell]

I would use a bold wallpaper buuut I'm probably crazy. I saw a teeny laundry room with this insane wallpaper once and loved it.

I always think that stripes look good, then I go to the actual place with said stripes and it annoys me.

So I say no stripes.

Go with fuchsia. Then put a disco ball. C'mon, you know you want to.

Ask HiC!

What is your favorite color? I just painted my laundry room a nice light blue. It's very relaxing,...and now i don't mind the time I spend in there!

I once had a small yellow bathroom. We re-painted it this color:

That's my recommendation, unless I come in here with other ideas.

Yellow in a small space is depressing! lol.

I've always liked yellow in laundry rooms, they all need brightening.

I like the green in the first pic nic posted.

I did the grey/yellow with orange/teal accents but I think that ship is sailed. The cherry red/turquoise is also on its way out so watch out.

OK, I couldn't find the exact picture, but I did find these, which I think are super cute.

I love this color- but I'm hoping to paint my kitchen a very similar shade of green at some point soon.  I even have a little poster board sample with that color sitting in my kitchen! I'm not sure if I should have the kitchen and laundry the same color.  Hmm.

I love gray, but I also want to paint every room gray lol  I would go for something fun and bright like Nic posted.  Lime or aqua.

I would do a bright yellow or aqua, something happy.

I love the color Bon posted, or the color in the 2nd or 3rd picture nic posted. With lots of bright white.

I would do a silvery purple. I like the idea of a yellow, but I just can't picture it in there.

Remember that Calvin Klein comforter that everyone used to have? I even saw it in carries apt on satc. A purple out if that...

[snickers]

I like the yellow with stripes personally

[mellymel]

I think yellow would look bad in there with that tile. Honestly.

How about something like Refresh by Sherwin Williams (light aqua) or Recycled Glass by SW (light green with gray undertones)?

The pic bonquiqui posted is super fun but Refresh would be a little/lot more toned down from that.

I love yellow, but of you go with it, choose a shade lighter than you want. We painted my bedroom yellow, and the first wall looked cream, but with all the walls it looked very yellow.

Personally? I'd choose turquoise. It's bright and cheery, and I think it would be fun in a small space.

One of the only things I'm looking forward to in owning a home is choosing paint colors.

Haha, I know exactly the comforter you're thinking of.  That's funny, I texted the contractor last night to go with a similar color - Oyster Bay.  I can't figure out how to paste the pictures in here, but this is the color:

A super fun aqua blue.

Granted, idk what color your w/d are, so that might change my answer.

Do one of the Restoration Hardware blues.

Can you take a close up of the tile's inlay?
