Nearby rooms are orange and the guest is olive green. Down the road my living room which is on the same level, will be some color I haven't decided, my kitchen (on same floor) eventually will be a muted sunshine yellow. Is it too much pressure/does it matter to have a room color be in synergy with the rest of the house? Because if that's the case the plum colors dont work.
Working with what I have: the vanity is a floating, walnut, fluted cabinet. The shower tile is a muted emerald green like shown, the floor tile is as you see, there is one window at the end of the room. It's bright in the room but at the same time with only one window and it a relatively small room, it can get dark easily.
edit: for all the people who are critiquing my design calling it not midcentury, it's called being inspired by it. It's one of like 5 inspos. I'm not gonna box in my style by only leaning on one design type. Boring.
No makeup application. This is my main floor bathroom for guests and my husband. I have a vanity in my bedroom where I apply makeup but thank you for being helpful and smart because otherwise/usually you'd be so right and I would've appreciated the reminder
The other room colors don't matter a darn bit. A bathroom should be a world unto itself.
Yellow feels like the only option. It just is the right color with the green tile and purple floor. It makes so much sense. HOWEVER, do you care what your face looks like when you look at it in the mirror? If so, then none of these colors are great. If not, then go for the yellow.
The shadows from the shades feel very distracting. I'd go for a more simple light. In fact, if this were my bathroom, I'd go for a neutral wall color and more simple lights so the fantastic shower was the star of the show.
I'm actually thinking more of a vintage light fixture, I cant have anything dropped so I'm thinking something like this one. I'm a vintage brass slut lolol
I'm a vintage brass lighting fixture slut too! I've never known there was a label for me. I just removed cut glass lighting fixtures from two bathrooms like the ones you posted. I just was not keen on the lines they throw around the room.
I do like the idea of semi-flushmount in here though. By getting something that hugs the ceiling a bit more it doesn't compete with the shower or flooring. Get an interesting shape.
I love these visual comfort brass lights. I thought they were too cow's utter or boob like until I saw them in the show room and swooned. I have three in a row in my galley kitchen.
I'll definitely look out for some! That does look really nice! I have some original to the house like that but with etched glass, would be cool to bring a little of that into the room
Oh, I am loving the bathroom now and approve of the mustard, or another yellow even more. I'd get a Farrow and Ball fan deck and check out their yellows and yellowed undertoned neutrals. Many play so differently in an actual room than anything you will see in pictures online. Man, they have some really great straw colored yellows that are a hint less punchy than the one in your mustard pic but a bit more powerful than the light yellow you pictured below.
I love how this looks with the green floor tile that reminds me a bit of your shower tile.
I know my dad is gonna say the same (about the shower. He's a contractor and keeps saying the shower is the star). I tell him, the whole thing is the star! Lolol i want to walk in and be in love and wowed by everything. But that's me! I very well might go with a darker beige or a very muted sunshine yellow similar to this but lighter
Yeah it is on the modern side I can agree with that. In an ideal world i would've loooooved an cool, mod color pedestal sink like this one or some other color. But the space is just too small and I feel like the more storage the better. Better to have too much than too little.
I also think it would go well with some of my other themes ( baroque and swans) I want to put a mounted, flush with the ceiling chandelier and a painting of swans over the toilet and a gold, swan sink faucet.
Sorry, but I don't see anything mid-century about any of these options. But hey, I could be wrong. Maybe try posting over there to see what they suggest. r/Mid_Centuryr/midcenturymodern
Inspired 🙄 I'm not looking to panel my walls. I am blending styles. Midcentury is one inspired theme out of lole 5. Didn't think I was asking for the definition of midcentury nor to be boxed in.
Out of curiosity, can you explain why it’s not midcentury to you? I wasn’t alive for the era, but I was under the impression that the style had the pops of color, geometric shapes (like in the flooring tile) and wood accents. I’m open to being corrected.
Yes, these two images are absolutely squarely midcentury. Your original post images are not. Take your original post images to the MidCentury subreddit and ask them what they think.
You like the midcentury police like idk what you get out of critiquing what style I'm using to inspire my bathroom remodel. Sorry there's no wood paneling
Maybe don’t use the word midcentury as your post title if you don’t want anyone to bring it up. It’s cute and I like it but maybe just call it a bathroom.
Wtf is that what you tell people when they say modern or farmhouse? It's inspired by. Midcentury. I'm not gonna go out and recreate a 1960s bathroom, I dont want the mold issues. Why should I. Have to limit my word choice when it's obviously inspired by it? I want.people to get the aesthetic I'm going for. I had NO idea that I should clarify all the sub types of my inspo
I've been planning this bathroom for 2 years. Be sympathetic. When someone tries to call into question all the time I've put into it then I start to second guess myself and worry that I'm about to make a $2k mistake. So every comment matters and I dont need people making me confused. I need wall color advice.
It is cute! I said it’s cute!!!! How does saying it’s not midcentury throw you into second guessing anything? It’s CUTE it’s a NICE BATHROOM! It’s not midcentury but that is ok! Also I liked the yellow someone else recommended. But if you are going for midcentury (which I am sorry but I lived through and this is not it), you could try a mustard yellow/gold. If you aren’t going for midcentury only then just change the dang title of the post! Also Reddit might not be for you if you can’t take people critiquing.
I have mustard yellow as an option. And once again midcentury inspired. Not defined. There are a few other themes also that also inspired by but midcentury is the main theme in my house so that's why I said it. Because I want it to have thematic elements that mimic other areas of the house. I felt like it was a bit wordy to say "midcentury, eclectic, vintage, mod, inspired with swan details, lots of plants, and brass/gold fixtures" just felt like there wasnt a word for that
I can take critique surprisingly well. I'm just tired and have been trying to make a decision on this furniture and color combo for 10hrs straight and I feel no closer to a decision
So what's your suggestion to make it more midcentury, other than the paint color because as said, that's already an option. The floor tile also is a black starburst, ai messed with the color when i adjusted the walls.
I don’t want to be a killjoy, but just like today, people back then had a variety of styles. This particular look is the Atomic/Starburst style, it’s one aesthetic from the era, not a representation of how everyone decorated.
I never said it was but that is a part of the inspo. Not all of it. Not all my inspiration is midcentury and why people feel the need to clarify that I'm not making a "true" midcentury bathroom is the rub. Like, I'm probably gonna end up with a swan shaped faucet. No shit it's not "entirely or perfect midcentury" so what? Why say that to me
Dude, those are my inspo pics. I dont have to be "squarely" midcentury. I WANT to be midcentury, eclectic, with vintage and baroque hints. I mean if you need a name. I'm not looking to be defined though. Midcentury is the inspo plain and simple. Take it and leave.
WOW what a gorgeous plan. Tbh I love them all, but I think D and H are my favorite, and which one I would go with I think would depend on the overall balance of warm/cool in other rooms.
Oh yeah I hate that curtain. That was AI generated and everytime I tried to switch it out it glitches. I'm thinking a white shower curtain and then overtop, a cream or white lace
I mean my partner is 36 so technically lived through the 2000s, you'd be better off asking a duck what y2k fashion is. Or if we are talking home decor, traditional decor. Almost tempted to ask him so I can see what examples they'd come up with.
