Design/Decor advice needed!

[mrssinner402]

Ok, so we've got the bathroom done other than decor. The accessories are all chrome, so I'm thinking as far as wall hangings maybe something with chrome/mirrors? It would hang on the wall above the shelf. And I'm thinking just white towels? I don't think any color would look right but I'm no good at decorating. HALP me!

Navy or white towels. White frames with a scenic photo (honeymoon?) Would be good.

If you are decorating to sell I would keep things minimal. You could do white or light gray towels. I agree that a small painting or something of a beach scene would look nice or even a small floating shelf with glass jars of cotton balls and qtips with wash clothes stacked or rolled. Looks nice to buyers. Avoid clutter.

Also-when you are showing the house take down a personal photos and knick-knacks. I know it's a long way off, but I would avoid putting new holes in the walls to hang things if you can try.

I wouldn't do mirrors, especially if they are close to the toilet. No one want to watch themselves pee.

But I agree with PP's.. especially like the idea of the glass jars.

This!

I'm not the biggest fan of all white stuff though....

I did photos from vacations in black and white in our bathroom. Also shelves with clear jars and chrome lids would look good. Nice and clean.

Sinner. I need decor advice too... can I briefly hijack your thread?

I have NO idea what to choose for our kitchen backsplash. We have black sparkly (flecks of gold) granite counters and I plan on painting our cabinets white in the next few months. I'm so torn on what color or style backsplash to use. Any ideas?

Sure! just don't expect advice from me because I'm no good at it. Lol

mrssinner402 I agree with pps, white gray or navy with a simple decoration. Black and white photography or maybe a simple candle holder?

pnwlover12 it's hard to say without seeing the granite, but I love subway tile backsplashes in a clean white color. Or they make glass tiles that could pick up on the gold flecks in your counters?

[mrssinner402]

I'm gonna try! How about something like this to pick up the warm tones of the gold flecks?

I think with white cabinets it would look nice!

[sweetadeline]

pnwlover12 I like sinners idea or subway tiles! What does your kitchen floor look like? We installed glass tiles as a backsplash and they made such a difference!!

I second the grey towels for Sinner's bathroom, and if it's not entirely too late, I'd move that towel rack higher. I like the idea of a generic landscape pic hung above that shelf, and I'd go with a silver frame if you're using grey towels.

For pnwlover's kitchen, the subway tiles are an excellent suggestion! Either that or plain glass tiles, but I think the glass might be too busy up against the granite.

[TheMooseIsLoose]

@pnwlover This is nice too:

I love the stone look! I was thinking of maybe doing a brick veneer or maybe brick glass tiles.

[mrsbabe614]

pnwlover12 I like the glass looking tiles that are small. *runs to find picture*

[babybeluga]

Love the color of your bathroom. I have a similar color in my living room. I love yellow accents with it. But grey and white is a really nice and neutral palette.

[breandmikebaby]

I got some cheap bathroom decor at ikea to stage my house to sell it.

I just did our kitchen (well, still being done...) and went with white subway tile and LOVE it. White cabinets and a dark granite and the white tile.

Am I the only one who thinks Aqua would look nice for towels?
my taste Is weird.... my house is like a mish mash of vintage, NBC and guitars.

[slsl509]

mrssinner402 - our bathroom is a similar color scheme. We have light aqua towels, white shadowboxes with seashells. I think black and white prints with your colors are really nice too.

pnwlover12 - we redid our kitchen almost 2 years ago and still haven't committed to a backsplash. I think we are going to do white subway tiles with a light gray grout. Sounds a lot like happyin14's kitchen

Sure! Although it's still in process. We are going to do white grout.

And this?

Notice wine + chips & dip. It's what's for dinner.
