Light Vanity Brushed
I have Maroon tile, green sandstone sink, whitewashed oak vanity?
I want to paint my white walls a color that would work with my floor and vanity. Removing border's an option, it's light & dark shades of maroon, green, & blue. I have brushed nickle metals.
I've considered painting a faux silver finish using a light gray paint first then paint the silver in random swipes. Lowes faux finish section has it and I've seen it on HGTV's website Rate My Space (but not with my colors). It's an 8' x 8' room with a corner shower. I have 6 tall narrow mirrors spaced a few inches apart that make it look bigger. Not a huge amount of walls showing, like a bedroom for instance, so it wouldn't overwhelm me.
So, should I be adventurous with silver or do you have a coordinating color suggestion?
It's a huge misconception in interior design that painting a wall a richer color will visually diminish the size of a room. However, painting a faux finish on the walls on the walls would become overly reflective and any inconsistencies in your drywall or any small damage would become more pronounced as a result of reflective silver stripes. Drywall is imperfect and hence would show more imperfections as a result of a reflective choice. There's a massive difference in painting a wall in a deep rich color vs. dark. Stay away from extremely dark shades and go more neutral based. This will give you the beautiful compliment between timeless tradition and modernity you are looking for and will match beautifully to brushed nickel knobs. As far as ther border goes..Take it down,,,when you apply a border in a room you visually diminish your ceiling height giving the illusion of shorter ceilings. When you choose your ceiling color go pure bright white or go two shades lighter than a wall color on a color wheel. One of the most beautiful bathrooms I have ever done was with brushed nickel knobs, pure brite white trimwork and ceiling, and an artichoke green color for the walls. Artichoke is not a green color... it is a more neutral greenish, brown undertones making for a more subtle but visually striking difference against pure white trim. In addition raise your bar on your shower curtain all the way up almost to the ceiling to give the illusion of taller ceiling. (remove border) Also bring your curtain rod all the way up as well same thing a few inches below ceiling height. Be sure to accomodate differencef in curtaine size for shower so it billows and reacghes floor and accomodate size for window height. One last trick....You have 3 mirrors....take corner mold from your local hardware store and frame out each one individually as if they were pictures(create frames) Natural neutral is where you want to stay to achieve classy elegance. I am a home real estate investor/designer and have used this technique with great success on properties I have done. I hope this helps! Happy Decorating!
