I have a 1926 house and am in the process of updating a bathroom. Heart pine floor which is a medium brown with deep red in it.
Original white clawfoot tub white pedestal sink and toilet. All fixtures are flat black.
Ceiling is beadboard which will be painted. Good light coming through stained glass window which is clear textured glass with green and red in the center. Any suggestions for wall and trim color. I’m leaning toward a white. Thank you
I'd evaluate your countertops as well, before you make any decisions. Based on what you've already provided, it sounds like you do need a warmer white or even a pale greige. I do have a video on my top neutrals here that give colors for both of those: th-cam.com/video/fHdhbbaoCBY/w-d-xo.html. I also offer paint color consultations if you want a more personalized recommendation and you can find those here: homelikeyoumeanit.com/hire-me/
All the videos on bathroom colors are always cool colors like blue and grey. I want a bathroom to feel more like a spa so I prefer earthy and warm colors. It’s hard to find videos that don’t lean to the blue and grey and cool greens. Would love to see a video on spa-like earthy paint colors. I want to feel like I’m in the day spa of a resort in Bali! Or Sedona. Or Aspen.
This video is not only informative, but it's refreshing compared to all the noise on TH-cam. Exactly the advise I was looking for.
Well prepared and structured. Thank you for not shouting at us as many other content creators do.

Thanks so much for the kind words!
We painted our small bathroom ceiling and walls the same color and YES you are absolutely right, it does looks bigger!
I’m happy that you tube recommended your channel today - great information. Thank you!
Welcome! So glad to have you here!
This is exactly the advice I needed for my re-do of a 6x5 windowless, low ceiling powder room. I probably wasted a little money buying paint samples and a lot of paint color peel off sheets before watching this, but I learned a little doing that too. Bottom line, i now know I need to wait until the new gray vanity I ordered is installed so I can really test out my various choices. Thanks!
Yes, good call! It can be so hard to wait until the bigger elements are in place, but you end up saving time and money because you make the correct color decision the first time around!
What an informative video. Thank you so much. Your channel recently showed-up and I've been watching you ever since. I have learned alot about colors, hues and values that I never knew existed plus I love your easy way of explaining everything! I'm a subscriber and I look forward to your next video. 🙋🏼♀️
Thanks so much for such a thoughtful comment!
I know this waz done 3 weeks ago, but I just found you and immediately subscribed. Ill be looking forward to your next ones, but this one helped tremendously
I have been painting my ceilings the same colour as my walls since i was a 16yr old teenager doing my first flat 40 yrs ago, not to make the place look bigger, although I appreciated the affect & the aesthetic in my smaĺl roomed flats..., however, I do it when possible simply because it saves all the tricky cutting in with another shade ! 😊
So helpful, thank you!
Also, I’ll try your suggestion to carry the color up across ceiling. It’ll likely be a color in high 60, lo 70 LRV given the space. Probably gonna put in a couple of pot lights. Into the great unknown!
Try sconces in the bathroom at eye level for the most pleasing light! A color in the high 60s-low 70s will brighten up your bathroom for sure!
great helpful video
Hello I’m in the UK and am not familiar with the paint brands. Do you know which Benjamin More fan deck would be the best to buy to see the colours?
I just put Agreeable Gray in my bathroom and love it! I'm nervous about painting the ceiling the same color though.
You absolutely don't have to...can always paint it back!
Luv …light reflective value
Great video and advice! I really appreciate your knowledge and way of explaining things, it’s very helpful. Now if I could just spend half as much time actually doing the work I need to do instead of watching videos….. I’d be done! Lol
Great stuff, thank you!
Hi! Thank you for this video! Would you paint the ceiling the same sheen as the walls? Thanks!
Ceilings should always be flat or eggshell.
Thank you thank you thank you! I am moving into an old house that has a small upper bathroom, no window, and was resisting using white (love color). This was so helpful and encouraging! Question - it is under a steep peaked roof, should the "ceiling" - which is half the wall in part - be the same sheen/finish? It can be damp in the room so want to have a good hardness to the paint.
Always paint the ceiling in a flat finish!
Thank you for the helpful video! I looked up the color Feather Down on SW website and it doesn’t appear. Did you perhaps referencing Benjamin Moore’s Feather Down? The fixed elements in my small windowless guest bath are warm…tan floor tile with tiny bits of bone and gray. The granite countertop is a mix of brown, tan, charcoal gray, bone, and terracotta. Shower tile walls are solid bone color, with shower niche inset tiles round quarter size dots, a mix of charcoal gray, dark and light grays, and white. And floor tile nickel size tile dots of white, brown and gray streaks. Sink and commode are white. Do you have any paint color recommendations for me?
Yes, Benjamin Moore Feather Down. Can you email me at ashley@homelikeyoumeanit.com and send pictures. Thanks!
Trade, Winds is in my bedroom? It's absolutely gorgeous. And I have dark furniture it looks excellent
I love Tradewind!
I have a small bathroom with porcelain-marble look tiles in bath/shower wall and floor and sink countertop (Home Depot Carrara). I have one window east-facing window, so lots of morning sun. Will be installing matte black fixtures throughout. What recommendations do you have for for wall and trim colors? Thanks so much for your video.
I think pale blue-greens or blues would be beautiful. SW Breezy, BM Quiet Moments, SW Stardew are some I'd start out with. For trim, go with BM Oxford white or SW Pure White. Both will work well with marble.
We have a narrow bath and are thinking about floor-to-ceiling white pickett tiles along the wall with the drop-in tub/shower, and dark grey slate for the floor tiles (and up the side of the tub). Question is - what color to paint the opposite wall (where the vanity is). Thoughts? Saturated? Neutral? I'd like to match the ceiling to the wall like you suggest, but would matching the tile wall color work or does it have to be the paint wall?
What about a pretty blue gray color?
Very helpful. Please address what LRV number is and what it does. In a few colors you didn’t identify whether it was SW or BM brand paint.
Hey there, if you look in the video description, I've identified each paint color and the brand associated. LRV stands for light reflectance value and essentially tells you how light or dark a paint color is. 100 is pure white and 0 is pure black. Hope this helps!
Could you do a video on the best paint colors for kitchens? Loved this video. I have a small bathroom and this helped so much.
Yes! On my list!
@@homelikeyoumeanit Thank you!
Just found your channel! I have a very small bathroom painted with Benjamin Moore ballet white. It looks good I think. Is that good for small bathrooms? Thanks.
Ballet White is perfect for a small bathroom!
I can't seem to get the paint colour right in my small century home bathroom. It has so much old tile work that looks beige with a slight pink or peach undertone. I am trying to achieve a bright neutral that doesn't look too grey or yellowish. Any ideas please?
For colors that will update fixed elements with a beige-pink tone, try Ben Moore Maritime White or Muslin.
What color would you recommend to go with pink beige tile? I know I should try to match the undertone. But I cannot seem to find the right color. My bathroom is painted with SW gossamer veil and it just looks wrong. My bathroom has no windows by the way.
Try SW Divine White or Patience
@@homelikeyoumeanit thank you! I will take a look at those!
Bathrooms with no natural light just mean that you have to provide all of the light artificially. So if you don't want a dark bathroom, make sure to incorporate lots of light. Unlike a bathroom with natural light, no one's going to be tempted to use the bathroom without turning the lights on, so you actually have better control of the lighting.
If I paint my kitchen cabinets wick ham gray. What color should the walls and ceiling be ? It’s an old beach cottage with beadboard walls and ceiling. Only one kitchen window not a lot of light. Have white gray tile flooring and white quartz counters. Thank y
You could do white dove or chantilly lace.
@@homelikeyoumeanit thank you
The last color you spoke about was introduced as Halo. But at the end of your talk about the color you referred to it as Pale Oak? Which is the true name of the last color? ... Halo or Pale Oak! I was thinking that I might like to use this last color you spoke of in my new bathroom, but am not sure now what color to look for.
So sorry, I've fixed the timestamp. It's BM Pale Oak.
If I chose to paint my small bathroom White Dove including ceiling and trim would it be too much to paint the cabinet the same color? The floor is a beige creamy color and the granite counter has brown and cream in it.The cabinet now is brown wood.
I would almost sample a cream color first and see if that fits better. Off white might be a bit too stark for the elements you're describing. Sample BM Mascarpone and White Down and see how you like that.
Do you mean to use Mascarpone or White Down for the walls or the cabinet or for both?@@homelikeyoumeanit
How similar are the feather down and pale oak?
Not similar at all, undertone-wise. Feather Down is a beige with a green undertone, while Pale Oak is a taupe. In terms of light-depth, Feather Down is lighter than Pale Oak.
If you want to use a dark (or intense) blue what are your suggestions? And you wouldn't use that color on the ceiling would you?
Using the color on the ceiling tricks the eye into thinking the room is taller. I have a video on dark blues that I love here: th-cam.com/video/iMR9B6931ZI/w-d-xo.html
Yo huge white paper should have been black against your example pallets to enhance your example paper. 👀
