In response to "I'm trying to avoid too much blue. I love blue. But I (and my gender) overrely on the color." by ty97

no no. like: do you want to feel relaxed? energized (like at the beginning of the day)?

Posted by kare (aka kare) Jun 16 '09, 09:35

really, by going this route i'm overanalyzing because if you can't even paint you're probably best off taking Andie's advice of finding a shower curtain you love and go from there.

i just love starting off interior design conversations with "how do you want to feel in the room" because it's an awesome and important starting point.

so you want to feel... warm?

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
