I rarely go in there. Lol</p> <p>I always thought it was weird my mom didn't use her master bath. She shared with my sister and I. Now I get it! (Though my dad kept his bathroom rather clean!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orange-or-yellow-wall-color-for-bathroom#post-2754726 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 23:51:35 +0000 Raspberry 2754726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think orange could work with a nautical them if done in bold stripes, but you'd want to choose a muted shade as bright stripes would be a bit much for a bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orange-or-yellow-wall-color-for-bathroom#post-2754725 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 23:39:13 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2754725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: wow you have separate bathrooms?? My mom said her dream master suite has two full bathrooms.. I think she would be willing to part with quite a bit in a house for that. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orange-or-yellow-wall-color-for-bathroom#post-2754700 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 20:51:13 +0000 MaryM 2754700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: for that reason alone, I'd insist on white!</p> <p>And I thank God DH has his own bathroom... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orange-or-yellow-wall-color-for-bathroom#post-2754694 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 20:36:21 +0000 JerricaBenton 2754694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might not be an obvious choice but I think yellow especially could look really cool with navy, rope, and brass nautical accents. I think it could be done with orange but easier to pull off with yellow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orange-or-yellow-wall-color-for-bathroom#post-2754691 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 20:28:33 +0000 Littlebit7 2754691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: oh man for that reason I'd veto those colors!! But I agree, maybe a wallpaper behind the splash zone. And I'd find some sort of gloss you could paint over it for easy wipe-ability (gross). I don't know if that even exists but I wouldn't want a lot of constant moisture on a wallpaper<br /> Or maybe veto his whole plan and just paint it how you want one day and cross your fingers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orange-or-yellow-wall-color-for-bathroom#post-2754687 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 20:19:24 +0000 Purpledaisy 2754687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm redoing the kids/guest bathroom right now and I'm doing an orange accent wall. Orange is my DH's FAVORITE color and I feel bad that we have no orange in the house :silly: . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orange-or-yellow-wall-color-for-bathroom#post-2754677 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 19:29:00 +0000 Ms. RV 2754677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should have said the reason why he wants yellow/orange is to hide "misses", he wants to paint the entire room that color.

You can also do nautical shapes (shells, anchors, buoys) in any color. Could you sway DH to a corally-orange? What's more nautical than coral? :wink: </p> [attach=5683/17/osj6oq.399x600.orange-brass.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orange-or-yellow-wall-color-for-bathroom#post-2754607 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 15:07:57 +0000 peaches1038 2754607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe you could just do one focal wall in orange? </p> <p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=orange+bathroom&#038;safe=off&#038;rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS590US590&#038;hl=en-US&#038;prmd=isnv&#038;source=lnms&#038;tbm=isch&#038;sa=X&#038;ved=0ahUKEwjqutvo8-3UAhUI64MKHRllCJwQ_AUICSgB&#038;biw=375&#038;bih=591#imgrc=yt9rBtnzggn7IM" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=orange+bathroom&#038;safe=off&#038;rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS590US590&#038;hl=en-US&#038;prmd=isnv&#038;source=lnms&#038;tbm=isch&#038;sa=X&#038;ved=0ahUKEwjqutvo8-3UAhUI64MKHRllCJwQ_AUICSgB&#038;biw=375&#038;bih=591#imgrc=yt9rBtnzggn7IM</a>:</p> <p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=orange+bathroom&#038;safe=off&#038;rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS590US590&#038;hl=en-US&#038;prmd=isnv&#038;source=lnms&#038;tbm=isch&#038;sa=X&#038;ved=0ahUKEwjqutvo8-3UAhUI64MKHRllCJwQ_AUICSgB&#038;biw=375&#038;bih=591#imgrc=xI8WyxTozDALnM" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=orange+bathroom&#038;safe=off&#038;rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS590US590&#038;hl=en-US&#038;prmd=isnv&#038;source=lnms&#038;tbm=isch&#038;sa=X&#038;ved=0ahUKEwjqutvo8-3UAhUI64MKHRllCJwQ_AUICSgB&#038;biw=375&#038;bih=591#imgrc=xI8WyxTozDALnM</a>:</p> <p>Or the ceiling!<br /> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=orange+accent+wall+bathroom&#038;safe=off&#038;rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS590US590&#038;hl=en-US&#038;prmd=isnv&#038;source=lnms&#038;tbm=isch&#038;sa=X&#038;ved=0ahUKEwiQ6oT79O3UAhWI5IMKHRu-DaUQ_AUICSgB#imgrc=jJ3Dn7KiweY9RM" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=orange+accent+wall+bathroom&#038;safe=off&#038;rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS590US590&#038;hl=en-US&#038;prmd=isnv&#038;source=lnms&#038;tbm=isch&#038;sa=X&#038;ved=0ahUKEwiQ6oT79O3UAhWI5IMKHRu-DaUQ_AUICSgB#imgrc=jJ3Dn7KiweY9RM</a>: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/orange-or-yellow-wall-color-for-bathroom#post-2754599 Mon, 03 Jul 2017 14:51:09 +0000 peachykeen 2754599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with @Meowkers: about orange being a challenging color for a bathroom. Could you maybe just use it as an accent color?

OH has said he wants an orange or yellow wall color (preferably orange). The tub, sink, and toilet are a light beige, the vanity is black, and the fixtures are a dark bronze. I was going for a nautical theme, but I can't seem to work orange into that! Any ideas on color? </p>
