Correct color for bathroom molding

Answer 1

It depends on your mood or style. For an elegant look, try light creme, but for a viberent, energetic look, try a bright yellow or orange. Also, for a calm, peaceful look, try a light blue or green. If you're going for a rich, rustic feeling, try a dark red or cinnoman brown. For a simple light feel, try just plain white.

I hope this helped spice up your bathroom!

If you ask twelve people that question you will not get the same answer from all of them.

There are several schools of thought.

1) The moldings should match the rest of the house.

There is a lot to be said for the idea that all the molding in a house should be the same, be it natural or stained wood or a single color (most commonly white or off white, but I did a house for a client one time where we painted all of the moldings a medium grey and it looked amazing).

The biggest thing about this answer is there is never any worry about where to change the color as you move from one room to the next.

2) Match the moldings to the wall color.

This is a common enough thing in inexpensive apartments where you don't want/need to pay your laborers to mask or cut in the trim work.

The down side is, not only is it "the lazy man's way" but if you use the same paint as the walls, you will get a lot more wear and tear on the moldings. Wall paint is not usually hard enough to stand up to heavy contact.

3) Decorate the bathroom as a separate and distinct room, with wall, ceilings and moldings designed to compliment and coordinate as a unit.

This is a great idea, I have always encouraged people to go a little wild in their bathrooms. Wild patterns, deep jeweled colors, crazy themes, it is all possible in a bathroom, after all, how long does a person really spend in there?

The down side on this is the age old question, "Where to I change the color from the one in the bathroom to the one in the hallway?"

If you want to try this, close the door, anything that shows on each side is painted to match that side, the jamb is usually painted the hall side color.
