We wanted a guest bath that feels easy for everyone who uses it, so we chose every line and finish with that in mind. A halo of soft light around the mirror, pale oak floating over cool concrete-look tile, and glossy white subway wrapping a deep tub: this guest bath is bright, easy and quietly warm. Fine matte black lines give it order without trying too hard. Below, we share each piece we chose and the thinking behind it.

Rust-Oleum 332141-2PK Simply Home Interior Wall Paint, Gallon, Eggshell Pure White
Finish: Eggshell, Pure White
Why we chose it
We chose Pure White in a soft eggshell to give daylight a clean surface to travel across, and we love how oak and matte black read clearly against it. It comes pre-tinted, and the listing describes a low VOC, water-based, very low odor formula that's washable.
Wall paint: The listing states "Low VOC" and gives no g/L figure. Its title includes "2PK" while the size shows 1 gallon, so confirm the quantity before ordering.
