although, it's a bathroom, so bring on the jokes

Confident. Which means I should get rid of the big mirror. -- nm - HdnAgnda Jun 16, 09:43

- see, if he wants to feel a little sexy, touches of red are in order. -- nm - kare Jun 16, 09:40 1
  - I'm with kare. beige and white give me hives. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 09:42
- Christian Bale? - Dano Jun 16, 09:35
- laughing -- nm - kare Jun 16, 09:35
I'm trying to avoid too much blue. I love blue. But I (and my gender) overrely on the color. - ty97 Jun 16, 09:33 22
- I think if you can get tiles in a really dark deep blue (but not navy), it addresses the coldness factor. -- nm - Loyola Jun 16, 09:36
- no no. like: do you want to feel relaxed? energized (like at the beginning of the day)? - kare Jun 16, 09:35 20
  - yeah, I've heard of rich earth tones and dark reds and such making a room feel 'warm' - ty97 Jun 16, 09:39 19
    - contemporary but warm and cozy. i think you're on the right path color-wise -- chocolates, beiges, burgundies. you can also go warm wheaty yellow. - kare Jun 16, 09:46 8
      - here's a neat selection of accessories - kare Jun 16, 09:53 4
        
        I like that a lot. Personally I never bother with the tissue box cover, but the other stuff is great. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 09:54 3
        
        and with your bamboo suggestion, i have the solution! a japanesey bathroom! -- (link) - kare Jun 16, 09:56 [Image] 2
        
        I draw the line at talking toilets. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 16, 09:58
        
        I absolutely love that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 09:57
      - well, our paths just diverged. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 09:47 2
        
        we're decorating *his* bathroom! -- nm - kare Jun 16, 09:48 1
        
        I know! but historically he has this thing for beige and I'm trying to rehab him! -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 09:50
    - anything in the red/yellow/orange family is warm. I am biased against beige big time, so take that as you will. If you want modern I'd go with green. - loosilu Jun 16, 09:41 9
      - teal is a fun choice. -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 09:42 8
        
        this combo never fails: Black and white with one bright color (red, turqoise, lime green, whatever). -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 09:45 6
        
        that's nice and contemporary, but not "warm." -- nm - kare Jun 16, 09:48 5
        
        actually, one good way to get warm and contemporary in a bathroom is with natural accessories (stone, shells, wood, bamboo, wicker). -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 09:50 4
        
        that's a great idea. especially bamboo -- nm - kare Jun 16, 09:54 3
        
        and definitely avoid metal accessories. cold as ice. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 09:56 2
        
        oh, i hate you - kare Jun 16, 09:57 1
        
        hee! -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 09:58
        
        my bathroom is blue and white with some turqoise. I love it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 16, 09:44
*involuntary mouth puke* -- nm - Subversive Jun 16, 09:32
clean! heheh -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 09:32 1
- I was gonna go with 'empty' -- nm - ty97 Jun 16, 09:33
