What do you think of these tiles, vanity, counter top? (floor, granite)

[skubaman]

Hello,

We are picking fixtures and tiles for a new master bathroom.



Our other bathroom has a stand alone vanity with polished carrara marble top and we have honed carrara on the floors. The shower/tun surround is all white subway tile.

dark photo - sorry



For new master bathroom downstairs, I was thinking didn't want also marble with marble, although my wife likes it.

So, we are thinking, this vanity with black granite top.

see photo: modero-vs72-wt-a.jpg and modero-white.jpg

it's really a cool white, although looks grayish below

ps: the empty space on the left on floorplan will go the matching stand alone linen closet

also white

tub/shower surround will be 3x6 artic white subway tile

and for the floor tiles we are thinking Dal Tile Frabrique Linen Blanc - maybe in 12x24

but probably with lighter grout than the pic below

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Not sure wall colors? Suggestions?

Thanks so much

I would probably try to get the linen tower with some kind of etched or patterned glass, and I would have it internally lit. That way you get a nice "night light" so you don't have to choose between stumbling around in the dark or being blinded when you wake up and need to get something...

If they do not sell 'em that way it might make sense to ask a local glass shop to install something. The "doctor's office look" gets old...

Hi Chet, thanks for suggestion. Any opinion on the questions about the tiles and vanity options?

Thanks

...in know that probably 60% of new home shoppers say they love white cabinetry. I prefer things with a bit more character. The risk is that when you go to sell it might be dated...

If you are doing this more for yourself than for resale soon you have different priorities .

Me too... all that white is bland and unimaginative to me.

I like it (though I'm not a big fan of squared of stuff like the handles) but it is A LOT of white.

I wouldn't do white tiles on the floor but that's me. I'm not a big fan of white though.

I am, however, a big fan of gray so I have a white and gray herringbone marble floor with a gray vanity. Then I color matched this little table in the nook with the vanity. Everything else is bright white (subway tile, accessories, medicine cabinet) and then I have a touch of blue for artwork so it's not all gray and white. ;-)

Have seen that tile in showroom...I like the texture but do you think that is practical because to me it would seem to trap mop water and General house dust if used on floor and soap residue if used in shower...there is texture on the tiles I felt...

You might have gotten a lot more opinions/suggestions if the thread had been posted in the right Forum-
The one about interior design (style) and decorating (color)...

lves2read, the tile has no texture (beyond whatever minimum is required by code), those lines are just visual.

Thanks

You asked for an opinion. Everything looks nice. Most of us could live with less than we have. I am just not into the science lab decorating that we are seeing now. They are your bathrooms though. I prefer beige, brown and softer looks with a more Roman décor. Those sharp lined cabinets and metal handles would probably have me bloody every day. I bump into things.
