Last month I painted my bathroom a luscious bright coral. It made the room absolutely glow! So much so that I couldn't see to put on make-up with the normal ceiling light. I tried adding florescent lights on either side of the mirror, and that helped. But every time I went into that room my beautiful coral walls assaulted my senses and disturbed my peace. So, obviously, something had to be done.
Well, today I finally settled on a new color. Now my bathroom is a nice soothing blue. Yep, I toned it down and rediscovered the simplicity that makes my life peaceful and quiet. I think the blue is going to be very pretty with the coral accents that I already have in there. No more eerie glow coming from that part of the house. No more extra lights needed. Yes, I think I'm going to like it.
So, which do you like best?
The coral is a nice shade but I can understand how it would make for poor atmosphere on an everyday basis...especially in a room like this. Consider using the coral in your dining room. They say that shades of red encourage diners to eat, linger and enjoy all the more! Our bath is a soft blue like your second color and it is soothing and easy on the senses.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the soft blue would be easier to 'live with' in the bath, it's usually such a small room that the coral would take over. I made a living room mistake of mustard yellow! It was not a comfortable space until I changed it to a muted green!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the coral! It looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThe coral is pretty, but the blue is more calming. :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree - the coral looks pretty, but would get on my nerves over time I think. The choice in blue color is so serene and calming - spa like!
ReplyDeleteThe coral is pretty, but as a cluster headaches sufferer and all around super sensitive being-I'm sure it would grate on me eventually. Blues and soft greens are more in line with nature and keeps things (emotions) fairly neutral. Good decision on the makeover.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue but its my favorite color!!
