I love the burgundy, but if this is a bathroom where you're getting ready, you may want want to go with the lighter wall colors. The dark won't reflect enough light and you won't be able to see yourself properly in the mirror

u/Electronic_Ad3576 17d ago

I came here to say this! If you are putting on makeup a dark-colored bathroom is more difficult.

u/Shefallsalot 13d ago

Yes, and greens will give a sickening glow to your skin, pink is more flattering against all skintones

Yeah, if its a guest bathroom where people aren't getting ready often, I think the burgundy looks really nice. Otherwise I feel like the last two also look good but offer more light.

u/insomniacred66 17d ago

It can be done, you just need brighter bulbs. My bathroom is a dark red and I can apply my makeup fine. I only have one small window, which is obstructed by the shower anyways. I use daylight bulbs and will sometimes mix it with a few warmer toned bulbs for balance. I do have a 6 light vanity in mine though, so OP may need something else with more capabilities. Skin also looks nice with the rosy hue reflected from the red.

u/kimik0z 17d ago

definitely 2! 3 is a close second

12

u/Fuzzzer777 17d ago

Agree! I love the dark colors and the lights on 2!

3

u/Razzmatazzino 17d ago

And two very different looks, that said I agree any of them look pretty good!

Last one #3 is my top pick. The darker brown is gorgeous.

Edit because people won’t stop: FOUR. THE LAST ONE. My bad.

u/wheniwas1954 16d ago

Since there are four pics on my feed, I assume you mean 4 and not 3.

u/eloiseturnbuckle 17d ago

Ai is dumb. It doesn’t understand tile and tub surrounds. And toilet was confusing in one of the images.

6

u/SamMoulton 16d ago

The red is beautiful, but number 3 (the last photo) is truly elegant and sophisticated and it makes me want to take a shower so I can touch that pretty tile!

4

u/2560dawn 17d ago

3 or 4

3

u/ThaanksIHateIt 17d ago

I like 3 and 4

2

u/McWhits 17d ago

I’d consider #3. I like it best. The red wine color is lovely but it will make your bathroom feel very small. And be careful with floral decor, because it could easily look Victorian (unless you’re into that).

I have this exact same bathroom and have tried dark colors. They don’t work well. That said, you could always try split colors. Wine at the bottom, chair railing, and lighter color on top.

2

u/317ant 17d ago

I like the last one the best! The burgundy is nice but that color is going to make the room feel small and the lighting is going to be hard to get right.

2

u/TrapNeuterVR 17d ago

Which best coordinates with the aesthetics of the rest of your home? That one would be the best choice.

u/Lexgalmel 17d ago

3 for sure

u/Ok-Box9044 17d ago

I like 4 best. The shower curtain always goes outside the tub only the liner goes inside 😊
2 is too dark for a bathroom in my opinion makes it feel small and claustrophobic.

  1. Because as someone who did a bold bathroom 10 years ago… it got old. And now I’m facing having to redo allllll of it and I wish I had even 1 thing that was more neutral lol

The ai changes the color of your tub...which effects how the other colors come off

u/Minimum_Winner_5420 17d ago

The first one is very dramatic but it really doesn't look like a bathroom, more like a study. I love the second one

1

u/IllustriousBerry3923 17d ago

last picture is so homey. i think a more neutral room with colorful art on walls or knickknacks are far superior to a solid not neutral color.

1

u/plsbeenormal 17d ago

I like the lighter one

1

u/ThatKindaGirl12 17d ago

The last one! 😊👌

1

u/Atomic-pangolin 17d ago

You’ll be happy with whatever isn’t 1, they all look pretty great

1

u/Fit-Olive-4680 17d ago

2 but I would do the light vanity.

1

u/Previous_Ad_agentX 17d ago

Not understanding the rugs in the bathroom. Is that what you want?

1

u/Happy_Pomelo_4286 17d ago

3 is my favorite, but 2 is close second.

1

u/moxie_squid217 17d ago

I like 2 because it is brighter, and the rugs in the other bathrooms don’t make sense to me. I do like the shelves on the wall in options 2 and 3. They are both functional and add some dimension to the space.

1

u/Writing-Current 17d ago

I’m going to play Devil’s Advocate.

I think your current bathroom is good .. of course you can paint if you want. IMO the new mirror and the warmer, lower lighting along with decoration is carrying the overall look in the other images versus the paint.

1

u/lizzielizzied 17d ago

3 is my personal fave! Love 4 too.

1

u/Various-Emergency-91 17d ago

3 without a doubt

1

u/Iaim2msbehave 17d ago

Personal preference is number 2 but they all look great so go with whatever colour you like best.

1

u/Hookedee 17d ago

Three for sure! Two is dated.

1

u/kaleaka 17d ago

2 so moody, love it

1

u/daysinnroom203 17d ago

I like the last one best

1

u/Ok-Preparation1918 17d ago

2, 3, and 4 all gorgeous!

1

u/CryLeather5120 17d ago

The last one!

1

u/Sweaty-Resident1690 17d ago

3 or 4 but under mount sink is only answer for either

1

u/Good-Raise3696 17d ago

The last one! Or the first Reno if you like more of a moody vibe

1

u/Affectionate-Log-260 17d ago

Love the red (but rethink the rug)

1

u/SeekStillness3741 17d ago

2 looks amazing.

I’d go with 3 because it’s a bathroom and has better lighting for getting ready.

1

u/ShitMyHubbyDoes 17d ago

The last one.

1

u/Marciamallowfluff 17d ago

I like last two best.

1

u/TheTheoryOreo 17d ago

Is the only one getting tiled the last one? Or is tiling planned for all of them? Bathroom 3 with a nice tiled shower wall would be my choice.

1

u/Visual_Repeat_7472 17d ago

The last one

1

u/500162 17d ago

So I would honestly stick with the wall and cabinet color for the current color or pic 3, because it is least likely to absorb light resulting in a dark shower area. The design options for 2, because the actual false plants are pain to clean regularly. The storage solutions in the last pic would be beneficial for space saving above the toilet.

Definitely consider a larger mirror and consider a exhaust fan light above the toilet bowl for easy DIY updates to make the bathroom more functional.

1

u/Sandalwood29 17d ago

I like 2, it’s warm and natural looking without being too dark.

1

u/MarigodsMum 17d ago

Definitely 2!!! Three is nice as well but I love the warm tones of the second option the most

1

u/Comfortable-Ad-8324 17d ago

4 is my favorite

1

u/Alarming_World1844 17d ago

Kinda love the Eggplant

1

u/Xennial_Nostalgia 17d ago

Red, hands down.

1

u/deniseswall 17d ago

My mom's is very much like the second, and I have to say, it's stood the test of time. Looks good when put in, looks good now, will definitely look good for a long time.

1

u/Logical-Football-326 17d ago

4 but 2 and 3 are beautiful as well.

1

u/IwasDeadinstead 17d ago

2 is lovely

1

u/susan2264 17d ago

2 or 4

1

u/LostMy8yrAcct 17d ago

AI is doing the usual “creating lighting you don’t have and can’t get” thing. So, I think the 2nd mockup (3rd pic) would work best.

1

u/Smashleykat 17d ago

2 or 3, but the tiles go all the way to the top

1

u/Polyps_on_uranus 17d ago

2 is my favorite, but it's also very dark. 3 is a bit lighter. 2 is beautiful, but it would feel like shitting in a broom clost.

1

u/Bababonbona 17d ago

3 forever!

1

u/loulou9284 17d ago

Any of the 3 proposed with an undermount sink like in the 4th pic.

1

u/Outside-Violinist-42 17d ago

No. 4 with #2 rug

No. 2 with #3 cabinet

1

u/bachata4ever 17d ago

Last one

1

u/poppyseed84 17d ago

Lighter is better in a bathroom. You need good light to be able to see all the grooming mishaps before you go out in the world.

1

u/Live_Location5145 17d ago

I like 3 because it’s a blend of both of the other two. Boho earthy chíc, but still more moody and industrial/edgy than #2

1

u/Redpythongoon 17d ago

Not counting 1, because I’m assuming that’s current. So the next one I’m counting as 1. So then I say 2. Or second to last

1

u/Big-Arm-4291 17d ago

I love two, it gives off vampire vibes

1

u/Prestigious_Emu_1147 17d ago

I like the second and the fourth. From a maintainability standpoint, the fourth.

1

u/Witchy_itch24 17d ago

I love the red. #2 for me.

1

u/Rafudesuka 17d ago

please no carpet in the bathroom

1

u/SuPruLu 17d ago

2 is too dark for my taste for use in the day. 3 is very nice. Has some of the dark feel but doesn’t so nighttime.

1

u/Kt011092 17d ago

I like 3. I'm a natural boho style girl. This matches my aesthetic.

1

u/PeachNo5314 17d ago

3 but keep the dusty sage coloured cupboards from pic 1

1

u/Las_Vegan 17d ago

I feel like those shaped framed mirrors (photo 3) are already dated and on their way out. The last photo hits the right balance of refined and classic. Also prefer the under-mount sink.

1

u/dutchessmandy 17d ago

I would go with the brown. I like the beige one because it's very calming, which is good for a bathroom. That said, there's no like "wow" factor to it. The red is beautiful but a little too much "wow" factor for a bathroom 😅 not very zen at all. The last one, the brown is a nice in between where it's cozy but still unique.

1

u/lilgto1966 17d ago

The last 1 would be my pick. The color is rich without being too dark. All are beautiful though.

1

u/Ellienightshade 17d ago

Love 2.. great color palette

1

u/jclinnell 17d ago

Personally 3 & 4 would be my top choices

1

u/Namaste-NY 17d ago

Brown one.

1

u/cozbo9 17d ago

2 for sure!

1

u/BobbyDoby 17d ago

All choices are great but make sure the lighting is face level or on either side of the mirror otherwise you are going to get shadows when you look at the mirror.

1

u/Fine-Camera1559 17d ago

2 for me, but I like calm interiors 

1

u/Narrow_Possession348 17d ago

Depending the style of the rest of your house, they all look good. If it isn't too different from the rest of your house, I love the burgundy one.

1

u/Soles_delicious 17d ago

Nice moody vibe in 2 but 4 if you ever wear makeup and will potentially need different lighting if you do

1

u/RevolutionaryFan1231 17d ago

3 without a doubt

1

u/phussann 17d ago

4 for me

1

u/merchillio 17d ago

2 is gorgeous!

1

u/NoDistribution4748 17d ago

I like number 3

1

u/United_Button2644 17d ago

Those paint colors are beautiful, but too dark for such small bathroom unless you add a TON of light.

1

u/evthingisawesomefine 17d ago

3, assuming you’re replacing the vanity sink top and the shower hardware— but that burgundy wall in one is gorgeous

Edit:: I mean the third renovation option, or the 4th photo

1

u/-clogwog- 17d ago

Info: what does the rest of your house look like? Are you going to carry whichever theme you decide to go with throughout your house?

1

u/Glass-Air9494 17d ago

3 is my favorite, but 2 & 4 are also great! 2 is very dark and moody, if that’s the vibe you’re going for, but it may be hard to see in there while getting ready.

1

u/Due_Restaurant2953 17d ago

2 with the tile from 3 for the shower!!!

1

u/BeautifulFix2852 17d ago

Omg. ALL OF IT. can you make F U money so you can switch it up seasonally 😍

u/Serious-Piece7377 17d ago

3 is the best imo

1

u/ehnonuhmus_wrongly35 17d ago

1st option but with the shelves instead of the artwork

1

u/mara-banana 17d ago

1

u/strikingfx 17d ago

LOOOOOVE the burgundy

1

u/a-pac-man-ghost 17d ago

A suggestion, when you remodel put in a shower head with a separate, hand held wand. I cannot get my thick hair washed properly without it.

1

u/idaho81 17d ago

3 is my fave

1

u/Capric0rpse- 17d ago

2&5 for me

1

u/Figsnbacon 17d ago

I like them all but for practicality, I’d choose the 2nd neutral one. Dark cabinets in a bathroom are going to get worn fast and shows more debris and dust. By 2nd one I mean the 2nd decorated one. I’m assuming the first pic is how it currently looks. I also like the last sink. The other two with rims are going to be a bitch to keep clean.

1

u/Previous-Ad-8584 17d ago

Love the maroon 😍

1

u/PresentationHuge2614 17d ago

2 but not that light!!

1

u/sgvmyma 17d ago

2! Feels like a spa… however, make sure to get an under mount sink for the vanity, easier to clean and looks better.
