brown counters

mirror trimmed in walnut & could have under soffit, midcentury

Brown Counters: I like the neutral hard scape with pops of transient color.

Backsplash is a great possibility with cupboards the color of our kitchen ones. : )

Q

Kind of like the wild rice countertop I chose. I could reface the cabinets like this! The rustic-ness of these cabinets is warmer than the other like example of this color of cabinets.

WR with other beiges?

Medium brown floor tile w/WR countertop

Q

Photo

WR: way too blah related to the wall paint color which would need to be jazzed up. By itself, I actually do like it. Not as warm as rustic cabinet example.

Q

Photo

WR yuck

Q

Photo

While I don't like the cabinet material, I do like it's overall light brown color with the WR counter; I think that maybe it translates almost to a solid gray if you squint

Q

Photo

WR w/stripes

Q

Photo

Though the countertop is probably more like our kitchen than our bathroom's Wild Rice, it does show that a color in the backsplash that matches the cabinet color is nice

Q

Photo

WR possibility

Q

Photo

Surprise, surprise, I like the tile. Even though it looks classic on its own, the overall effect is modern here. Who'd a thunk it? Consideration for our bathroom.

Q

Photo

Don't think that I would like the floors the same color as the counter with white in-between

Q

Photo

Could have white-ish cabinets, geometric backsplash and blonde floors with our mushroom counters though I think that I would like a little more grounding of dark colors somewhere.

Q

Photo

Definitely dark counters but with the strong modern vertical door handles, the other light colors and clean lines it's not a problem. Can't say the room looks cheery but I think that it could be made to be.

Q

Photo

Too muddy, not enough contrast or fun.

Q

Photo

This is all too dark. Counter and sink akin to ours so included as a "don't do this" option.

Q

Photo

Not a huge fan, but it basically does show our counter and sink. They used floor tile about the same color as the counter. Too much tile for me in this one, too mausoleum-ish.

Q

Photo

Basically our sinks and countertop and mirrors. Definitely needs a punch. . .patterned backsplash.

Q

Photo

Under-soffit paint color matches cabinets and backsplash trim. Would not have head-banging lights, though, rather have can lights in soffit.

Q

Photo

floor tile

Q

Photo

sliding shower door option: how do you clean between the panes?

Q

Photo

Modern and light tho' our counter wouldn't offer as much contrast and I don't like the whiteness of the rest of it.

Q

Photo

Taupe cabinets and patterned floors with taupe and brown?

Q

Photo

Exhaust fan emulates that idea of brown soffit

Q

Photo

This has brown at the ceiling to tie the counter in; we could put brown under the soffits, a walnut to do the same.

Q

Photo

Not that I want blue tile, but it does show that the modern stacked solid color with contrast grout goes well with it and gives that modern edge.

Q

Photo

Like Wild Rice with modern.

Q

Photo
Photo

With modern handles this color scheme could work though I would pick a different paint color.

Q

Photo

cream subway tile looks nice with it; note that sink and handles are white and it works

Q

Photo

Wild rice w/too stark of white; not so appealing

Q

Photo

Wild Rice looks better with cream than white. Can cream be modern? (This is french modern, not what I would be going for.)

Q

Photo

I suppose that you could paint the cabinets a silvery gray to emulate this effect and carry on with the rest of it.

Q

Photo

Maybe I would like a variation of this floor: matte 24" cream tiles w/shiny beige rectangles at ends perhaps. A patterned floor could also make me like white-ish cabinets.

Q

Photo

This could make me like white cabinets.

Q

Photo

Kind of what ours would look like without a punch of something

Q

Photo

Hmm. . .don't think that I would be crazy about this in our bath but at least it shows the possibilities and that what is in our kitchen is contemporary. July 2023: Changed mind, I do like the cabinet/counter combo so that it's not white/cream. A medium river stone backsplash as shown in another pic in this Ideabook could tie the cabinet/counter colors together. A wood or tile under soffit surface to match one of those would also tie things together along with dark strips in the floor as shown in another pic in this idea book perhaps with the larger floor tiles in concert with the cream/beige varied mono color way of subway-is tiles in the shower. : )

Ugh, with white cabinetry and the neutral colors that I had in mind.

Q

Not fond of white cabinets

Ugh!

Q

Though John liked the shapes, he doesn't want to emulate the downstairs bath with brown counters and cabinetry.

Q

Photo

Too mausoleum-ish

Q

Photo

Okay in this light-filled open space but would be too dark and bland in ours.

Q

Photo

Too dark.

Really like the striated material though it would make the room dark.
