what color should the towels, bath rugs and accessories be?
I have sage colored paint on my bathroom walls and the furniture is white.?
I would mix up your towels in a basket with sand and brown and even some white. Use a sand rug. But what color is your floor? I would try to blend the rug to the floor. I personally think that it looks choppy to use an accent rug in a color. You might even try a shag rug. Very popular now.
Use a straw basket to hold your daily use items if you do not have drawer space or a medicine cabinet. Add some greenery to the countertop and a nice scented candle. Maybe lavendar for evening relaxaion and a citrus to liven you up in the morning.
A muted, greyish purple and golds/yellows also would go. Black and violet could be another combo.Yellow, burgundy with green, yet another. Textures also bring in color as well as organic items.
If you have a fairly large bathroom, a glass door cabinet would look nice or an armoire. A small chest of drawers in a warm tone, would be nice if you need additional storage (if your furniture that you are referring to is the cabinetry). You could also use a metal or wooden planter stand to hold towels. Try to look at three colors in coordinating. Black also looks nice with sage. You have a sofisicated look, so I would not go too wild with colors. I would stay away from vibrant ones.
Pick up some sample face clothes to try out the color combinations that you like. Then return what you don't.
The lighter shade of green, or earthy tones will keep your look soothing and clean. Add some organic pieces which will create color and texture. Don't use bathtub pictures.
Use botanicals or sea creatures. You can always choose a scene that shows a fountain.
Play around. Choose your favorite colors. Maybe bring a painted piece of wood to the store. Although the lighting will be different at your home.
Good Luck
Reply:Choose different (darker) shades of sage, and choose a bold color to make it more interesting than being just all beige.

Reply:Sage green and white are fresh, natural colours that would be nicely complimented by other garden like hues such as lavender, yellow, or even turquoise. Use white and deeper shades of your sage green also in your accesories if you like. The best way to tie together your mix of colours is to find a patterned wallcovering, shower curtain or towels, and pull out the seperate colours and use them in solid colour towels, rugs etc. The colours in your pattern will now dictate your colour scheme choices and you will be sure that it all will work together. This approach also works well in a bedroom, where I recommend you find patterned bedding first and then pull your favorite colours out of it and use them in your paint, carpet, etc.
Reply:The best way to find out how the colors will work with the secondary and neutral colors that you have is to go to the paint section of your local hardware or paint store and pick out the matching color swatches. From there pick out the third color and hold them up together and see how well you like the colors together. You may not like the colors that I would choose.
