Never do a yellow bathroom. It makes you feel your skin looks sallow every time you look in the mirror.

I agree with this. And I think it will clash with the blue bathtub. I would do a light taupy grey, personally.

Can you post a picture of the tile you're thinking?

Like, when you say marbled grey are you talking white with grey veining?

I'm super glad to hear other people back me up on the yellow! Thank you for the support!

Secondly, I completely forgot to mention that we're re-finishing the blue bathtub to white. I'm now picturing my bathroom: yellow walls, with gray tile, and a blue tub. Haha. Super hideous.

Okay! That makes more sense then haha

What about a darker color? Emerald, cerulean, and navy are huge right now.

We have something very similar on our bathroom floor.

You could do a light grey, that hints towards the sea foam.

I love black and white bathrooms. I dream of using this insane wallpaper in my future bathroom when we own a place. But this probably isn't what you're going for . I really like bold wallpaper in bathrooms.

ETA didn't work the first time



ETA again- another one

I love black and white bathrooms too! I dream of our future powder room bathroom looking like Sephora.

I would keep the walls neutral, like a light grey. then play with color for accents. I like grey and teal. I like 3 color tones. I'd do grey, teal and white colors.

You could paint a soft gray and do a stripe around the walls in emerald. Or paint just one wall emerald. I'll see if I can find a picture....

I'm not finding a good picture. But, I think a stripe 12 inches wide at eye level would look really cool.

I have a yellow bathroom.

It is the guest bath, I like it, it is so bright and cheery.

Our master bathroom is very spa-like. Beige and white . . . . kind of boring if you ask me. Andrew's bathroom is teal with white and black pop-art styled accents. Our half bath is a deep asian orangey red that I LOVE. DH doesn't like it too much, but we get SO many compliments on it that he's learned to shut up.

My entire house is gray, black and white so i a, biased. Most of the walls are all gray with exception of the living room, dining room and kitchen. I tried what felt like hundreds of grey paint from various manufacturers and my fave is the " Dolphin Fin" card from Home Depot...nearly my whole house is painted in the three grays on the card.

My bathroom is light blue tile with gray veining and the walls are light gray ( they were blue). I love it. The room is much brighter.

I would go with grey walls and do accents of the yellow with accessories, artwork and towels.

I always buy those little sample jars and test the color out before painting the whole room. That way you can see what it looks like in various lighting. Have fun!!!!

Wallpaper is a fun option, too. Last year, we put while with grey veined marble tile down in my office. I went with wallpaper instead of paint. Here it is under construction:

We redid our bathroom a bit (retailed and painted) right before I got pregnant. The walls are a seafoam green (I call it toothpaste green) and I love it. It's a big room but dark and it made things so much brighter. Ill pip when I get to a computer

I did like the gray with yellow accents. I thought it had a bright yet modern look to it and was still cozy. What kind of yellow do you have?

Mine is just butter yellow, it is actually a boring simple bathroom, but I like the color.

Have fun with your new Reno! Our house could use a little of that.
