Hi, I need help on deciding a color for the vanity. Thought about white but I don't know. Any ideas? I'm not sure I want white everything. Going with a beachy theme.
Painted walls.

    How about a steel grey, or a light peach? They would compliment the blue wall really nicely- have fun with it, keep us posted!!

      Gray, white and a light coral makes a beautiful combination. These are my bedroom colors. Gray is the main color, white is secondary and the coral is the accent color. I did have problems with choosing the coral as some are too orange and others are too pink. A light to medium is a good choice. Choosing the coral online was a disaster for me.

    I did a cheap dresser in my guest room in dark turquoise, and it looks great! Lowes has a furniture paint that needs no primer, and even covered the cheap, shiny surface..that took two coats.

    It costs a bit..I think I paid over $20 for a quart, but dried in a day, and came out smooth and even.

    I switched out the wooden knobs for Nickle plated ones, because I wanted a sleeker look.

    The rest of the room has some lighter turquoise touches, and white rattan, with beach scenes on the soft white wall

    My guests love it.

    I can't remember the paint brand, but I remember the commercial on TV uses chameleons in it đŸ˜„

    Hi! How about painting it white and bringing through a little if the wall color of blue and slide a little through while the paint underneath of white is still wet. You could use some white gesso to keep it moist. Have lots of fun, Debbie

    I would paint it a sandy beige color, darker than the counter top but lighter than the floor. That would go well with the beach theme. Get some shell door pulls, too.

    For a 'beach glass" look, how about the same / similar color as the wall except 1 or 2 shades lighter? Best wishes!

    What about Tourquise? Would go great with the beach theme and add a beautiful pop of color.

    look on the internet to find a color wheel. Then find your wall color on the wheel. The color opposite your wall color is the complementary color and will go well with your walls!

    I use greywood behr at home depot. Its a really good 'drift wood' color, and it works great with a beachy theme.

    How about dry brushing the cabinet to look like driftwood. Sea Glass paint from Sherwin Williams is a great beach color and accent with coral or different "sea glass colors."
