color scheme: muted prairie
June 9, 2011
Happy Thursday, everyone!
In this blog we’ll highlight one of our powder rooms… enjoy!
Inspired by our “Asiatic Prairie” design concept, this powder room showcases a very pretty Muted Prairie color scheme. The colors are all very earthy and warm which creates a very inviting and homey feel; which is great for a powder room since this is the bathroom guests will most often use.
The inspiration color chips are all Benjamin Moore:
- 2163-50 Burlap
- 2164-40 Serengeti Sand
- 2170-40 Coral Spice
- HC-119 Sherwood Green
- HC-105 Rockport Gray
Tips on the design of this bathroom:
- Using a framed mirror vs. a large frameless mirror provides the opportunity for a little personality and gives the powder room a more custom feel.
- The granite we used on the counter has a lot of pattern and a lot of movement. A powder room is a perfect spot to use something a little more bold like granite, paint or wallpaper.
- Our vanity cabinet was built to look and feel like a piece of furniture, rather than a full built in cabinet.
- When you do have guests over, gather a bunch of fresh flowers in a fun vase, this will make the guests feel invited and special.
