Bathroom Re-model. Need Help.

I've been saying for months (maybe even a year) that I want to re-do our half-bath. It's actually a small project and could be done in a weekend. I need to remove wall paper on the bottom half. Remove the "chair rail" on two walls and then paint. We put in a new hard wood floor and vanity last year and now I just need to pick out a color. That's where I get stumped.

What color(s) do you like in the bathroom? It is the guest bath, after all. Should I go with a theme? I have a friend who did a beachy thing with shells and candles and a peachy color. It was very soothing. I was thinking blueish but then didn't feel it anymore. I also need to replace the light fixture and switch plate and would like something that matches. I like the fixtures from Dolan Designs but really think I need a color scheme first.

Please help. I need suggestions people.

  1. In my opinion bathroom's are a great room to play with color and create a mood. I'm not necessarily a "theme" fan but u can create a cool vibe with a few well chose accessories, coordinating towels, artwork and of course the fixtures. If i were you I would bring home some swatches and look at what you're drawn to. Don't be afraid to go darker than you might otherwise. Not sure what to do with? It's just paint, You can always change it. If you don't like what you see after a few brushes, you can try having the paint store tint the paint further. I've had to do that a few times when what I thought was going down didn't look great in the light of the room. Good Luck. Wish I could be there to help!

  2. I like the black and whites. Maybe a nostalgia theme or add a bright color to accessorize, creating a fun feel

  3. The costliest things for me were the tiles and my 6 jet spa tub. I used travertine and a glass mosiac. The fixtures are costly too. Check out overstock.com. I got my fixtures and vanity from there and they're nicely priced and a good selection.
