Gotcha. Dark floor, white fixtures, and light tub surround. Open to a fun accent tile in tub area. Boys' bathroom. I have to admit that most of what I found made me want to fall asleep...literally, I almost nodded off. Is there some rule that children are only allowed to have white subway tile on the walls of the bathroom? I resorted to the non-kid baths just to give you some variety. Obviously, they need a vanity instead of a wall-mount marble sink! I personally think a few that show white subway with black grout might look nicer with white or grey grout. The black might be making the rooms feel smaller. ![]() ![]() ![]() You could try pattern on the floor with dark grout ![]() ![]() Cle tile might be fun... ![]() ![]() |
OP, I am loving reading this thread! Any suggestions for fun, colorful basement in a new transitional style? I love red, but am open to other colors, too. We have a big fireplace in the center of one long wall, a sliding glass door on a short wall, and doors to other rooms on the following two walls. All features are roughly centered, which is driving me crazy in terms of layout.
Thanks! |

Thank you so much, OP! From the home office poster ![]() |
I am loving Annie Selkie rugs. Thanks, OP. |
We love the rustic look and wanted to do a floor with movement. The floors look beautiful we just don’t know what colors to paint the walls or decor really. |
The Dash and Albert poly rugs are great. You can throw them in the wash or even just hose them down, and everything comes off. We use them on our porch. |
From the poster of the minimalist dark kitchen nonkitchen, thank you OP! We’re loving your inspiration and you’re right my husband and I keep coming back to the leight kitchens site we love it!! |
I'm so glad people are enjoying this thread! I've had fun tracking down images. Work has started back up for me, but I'll keep gathering inspiration for the requests posted and yet to come. ![]() |
Eye Candy please: Formal-ish (not like ornate decor, but true designated DR)
that is open to kitchen. Upper cabinets over peninsula? Hmm. |
LOVING this thread - thank you for your service! |
When I was looking for photos for the last basement request, I was coming across a lot of neutral, light colors due to the lack of natural light. If yours is a walk-out, perhaps there's a little more leeway on wall color? So, perhaps we can ignore the basement part and just look for colorful, transitional living spaces? Because of all the doors, you'll probably want the entire seating area floating in the middle of the room. Let's see what's out there... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The style is a bit rustic for you, but another layout that might help ![]() Again, not your color scheme, but imagine those windows being your slider. ![]() They have red on the floor and are floating the furniture because they have a bunch of things on the walls. It's a grand room, but perhaps something along these lines, but with a smaller scale. ![]() This room came up over and over in my searches. Small, simple floorplan. ![]() |
Friends, I have to apologize for my subway tile comment the other day. I love subway tiles, but was just tired of seeing them as the only wall material in the kid-friendly bathrooms.
I have subway tile in home and it looks great. I'm sorry if I bummed anyone out for the negative comment. |
OP, can you find any pics of houses with dark woodwork that are light and pretty? Thank you! |
Thank you! It is a walk out. We happen to have the two facing couches layout in the room right above it. Lots of great inspiration. |
