I decided to do something a little different in the master ensuite using green as the accent colour instead of orange. We had a little difficulty finding a combination of things that would work with my overall colour scheme and that would work together in the bathroom. Here are the 2 options we came up with.
Master Ensuite Option #1
What I liked about this option was the contrast between the lighter brown tiles and cabinets and the dark countertop. My only reservation was the countertop colour: grey with veins of brown and gold. It actually reminded me of one of my favourite ice cream flavours, gold medal ribbon.
The natural maple shaker cabinets are a level 1 upgrade (yellow to blue dot). The floor and wall tile are a level 1 upgrade. The standard flooring is vinyl. An upgrade to ceramic tile flooring brings you to the blue dot level, standard for the entrance. The ensuite shower tile option is a level 1 upgrade (yellow to blue dot). The countertop is a level 3 upgrade (yellow to green dot).
Master Ensuite Option #2
The only thing we changed with this option was the countertop. I wasn’t entirely sold on the grey and price of the other one. This countertop is a level 1 upgrade (yellow to blue dot). This countertop is brown and definitely looks nice. However, I wasn’t entirely sold on this option with my tile and cabinet choices. Honestly, it just didn’t look as nice as the countertop in Option #1. I was also trying to keep my upgrade costs down to stretch the budget out as much as possible.
Master Ensuite Final Choices
After going back to my pictures and thinking about it over and over I finally made my decision.
I went for contrast … Option #1:
- natural maple shaker cabinets
- shower tiles – angora capri ivory 8×10
- floor tiles – angora capri ivory 13×13
- countertop 1799-07 (sorry, no name again)
