Color Matching Bathroom Fixtures


by DoItYourself Staff

When remodeling a bathroom you may run into the problem of matching your bathroom fixtures with the rest of the room. This can sometimes be difficult if you are only replacing certain parts of the bathroom.

Some bathroom fixtures such as vanities, tubs, showers, and toilets can come in different colors that are no longer available today.

Check with Retailers
The first place to color match your bathroom fixtures is your local retailer, or home center showroom. Check with them about the available colors. Some companies still manufacturer bathroom fixtures in certain colors.

Check with Antique Dealers and Salvage Shops

A treasure trove of great bathroom fixtures is waiting at antique dealers and salvage companies. Check them out for the colors that can possibly match the rest of your bathroom fixtures. Not only might you find the right fixture, but you can also find a great deal here.

Compliment the Colors
Instead of trying to find the exact color, locate a different color that will look good along with the rest of your decor and bathroom fixtures.

Paint Your Fixtures

If you are changing your bathroom fixtures to a white, or off-white color, then you can sand down your current fixtures and paint them with porcelain paint. Unfortunately, this paint is only available in white.
