Do you have an idea book with your remaining selections? Would want to see the tile and other colors you've put in. If you have enough light from the light fixtures you won't mind the lack of window. In other words, I like them both :-)

That depends on everything else in the room. You can do black if you're doing a Carrara countertop, white subway tiles and pale grey/blue paint.(in other words, light).

white vanity

Thank you all for your comments...Thinking of going with oversized white subway tiles in the shower....using a same-colour textured tile as a border and using arabesque brown tiles as a feature in the shampoo niche, will also look smaller brown rectangular tile on the shower floor...next question please...what finish to use for faucets...needs to be durable as this is a kids' bedroom...

This is a photo of what i have in mind...

The black vanity works if everything else is light. I'm unsure of the brown accent tile in the niche (unless the vanity is actually brown, not black.). Brushed chrome fixtures show less fingerprints, but polished chrome would look more like your photo above.

The vanity is actually expresso...so i guess brown/black...

Now that all the work is finally done....just wanted to share some pics of the final outcome....thank you again for your comments....

♥ the floor!

You did a fantastic job there! I love love love those tiles! You have a unique and personal space here - I hope you enjoy it for many years!

If you go with the dark vanity bring in a medium color for paint. if you select the white...you can then also choose medium to dark color of paint...keeping interest with contrast. The counter top is the next issue.
