My cousin recommends a dark tile floor with dark grout (we have 2 boys, and she said it will hide the dirt). I want white (or mostly white) tiles for the tub surround. I will buy a white tub.

Any recommendations? I don't have a paint color for the room.

We were also thinking of making the main wall in the tub surround an accent tile wall. Any pictures of this?

FWIW, one wall has the door to the bathroom, to the left (in its own alcove) is the tub, in front is a window, and to the right is the double vanity/sink and then the toilet.

TIA!



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!

While I'm working on the others, perhaps you can rephrase this request? Is it that your wood floors are an exotic species that has a lot of color variation? I just a little confused about the mention of Brazilian marble. If you can take a picture of it, upload it to imgur.com (anonymous site for photos), and link it here.


Sorry about that. We just redid our living room floors. We have a small upright piano and an antique table. Nothing else yet. I love the rustic, industrial look. We don’t colors or furniture picked out. Here’s a website that has the flooring: https://www.uniquewoodfloor.com/blog/guide-brazilian-hardwoodflooring/

Thanks for all you’re help.


Could you share your inspiration pictures for putting those floors in? I haven't really seen them in a home before, so I'm not sure how to search for pictures.


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.

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.

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.

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.
