I think part of the problem is a lack of contrast. I can't tell by your photos but the mirror seems to be quite a bit wider than the vanity. If the mirror was the width, or slightly narrower than the vanity and framed in a black frame, it would give it a little more emphasis. Can't see the light fixture. Is there one over the vanity? That's another opportunity to provide some contrast with perhaps a black fixture. Also, what is opposite the mirror on the wall next to the door? Is that another mirror? I think when you have a shower curtain, towels, and more accessories, it will look more balanced. I would use black towels and curtain, perhaps in a clean pattern, such as a stripe. I do think white would look better on the walls. I think the use of grey might be throwing you off. Make sure the white in the walls matches the vanity too.

I agree.

First thought is the grout color is too dark . I feel like I'm focusing on the lines instead of the tile . Also The dark trim under the mirror is distracting from the focal point which is the floor tile .Are you planning on putting up a shower curtain ?

Yes, I'm planning on putting up a curtain but hadn't decided on a color for that. And the vanity is light gray, not white. I'm starting to think the vanity is the wrong color. And yes, I tend to agree that having the gray walls would make things too confusing. The pics that I was copying had Antique gold accessories and they look better than mine. Thanks for the mirror tip too.

Thank you. I was actually thinking about a charcoal paint color. I thought it would make the tile grout stand out less. The only issue is that I have no windows in there so I'm worried it will be too dark.

My thought when looking at the first photo was that the gray inn the vanity and counter top didn't go with or complement the half tile wall. (The vanity and counter top are very pretty though.) Not sure how you can fix that.

It might not be that expensive to regrout with white grout. I know, I know, what a hassle. But as graycat says, the eye is drawn to grout lines, not the tile. Then go from there. I wouldn't go gray but maybe a soft pinkish white.

Additionally a gorgeous antique mirror with a beautiful textured/carved wood frame would bring something organic and textured into the room (or reclaimed wood). Thrift shops are full of them. (I can't tell if your mirror is actually a medicine chest. If so, then get a framer to cut a beautiful frame to go around it.) Hang a wonderful piece of art to the right of the sink, and you can pick up a paint color from there if you want something other than white.

I have similar colors in my 1927 colonial. I used Pear Green by Benjamin Moore on the walls.

It's the vanity top vs the wall tiles. They're too close in color but not a match. The walls look creamy but the counter is a cool gray. You did such a great job with everything else. Might try an absolute black granite vanity top. The dark grout will fall in perfectly when the counter is the right color.

One of you smart folks pointed out that the tile is ivory abs the warm tone doesn't match with the cool vanity top and cabinet. I cannot believe I didn't notice that when I picked it out but now I can see how much it clashes! Esp with the white handles on the faucet! Home Depot called the tile white so I didn't even think of putting up next to the other materials. Grrrrrr. I should have special ordered a whiter white! Now what to do besides year it out?!

Your bathroom is beautiful. It's very monochromatic, but that's fine. Once you have a shower curtain, and towels, in a contrasting color, it'll brighten things up.

When I saw your walls, with the dark floor and grout, the first thing that I thought was that the walls needed to be charcoal grey. I think it'll balance out the black, white and grey tones. After that, it needs an accent color. I love the apple green in your painters tape, so we know that works, but it should be something a strong, bold color, that isn't shy, like a pastel.

At this point I would go with a charcoal or dark grey paint. You see to have a decent amount of lighting in there. You really don't have that much painted area and you can lose even more of that if you accent with a fairly large painting on the wall behind the door. Also think of white towels hanging on towel racks. Anyway I think you can do the rest with paint and accents.

Re-grouting is going to be expensive and some of the tiles will probably be chipped in the process leading to other problems. Besides the dark grout is going to not show as much dirt. Make sure you seal your grout annually with a high quality impregnator type sealer like 511.

I would paint the walls Sherwin Williams Attitude gray. What is missing is something to contrast the beautiful finishes that you have chosen. We find that a room comes to life with either contrast in texture or color. The white tiles can have a tendency to look institutional unless you add some color or depth of texture.

Here is a bathroom we did for a client in Manhattan Beach that wanted monochromatic, but not boring.

Your room is, as someone else mentioned, monochromatic. It's fine if that is your taste and intent. Yes, towels and a rug or gel mat and other items you place in the room will add some color. If you want to do more to the room itself to add color, then you could begin with repainting the painted base cabinet your favorite color.

You could paint the ceiling a pale sky blue instead of white. Ditto any wood -- door and trim.

You could add a painted frame around the mirror and add color there.

You could choose a colorful shower curtain. (I actually prefer clear liners only because they don't block light but some of the better quality thicker clear curtain liners also have designs -- a lot of beach themes.

It appears you may have room behind your faucet to add a single row of colorful tiles atop the existing backsplash -- or you could change out a single row for adding color.

@tfitz1006. The green sounds lovely! Can you show us a picture?

I can upload a pic of the bathroom later but here's the color: it's bold but I love it. Lately I've thought if I were to change it I would go with a very pale pink like Ambrosia or a Tiffany Blue

I wouldn't spend a cent until I saw how it looked with a bolder / darker wall color.

I also think a really bold wallpaper might look cool. It is such a tiny amount of wall space - you could really splurge!

your room is stunning and I love your tile choices! I just repainted my bath, a small room also with no windows, and the monochromatic look works great with just a little greenery added - I put a couple of "faux" succulent planters, and upgraded my lighting. I went with a white shower curtain, too, and white towels. I like the "layered" look of many neutrals. See how the room looks with a shower curtain and some "soft" furnishings, you may love it, its very calming. (Jealous of your gorgeous marble!)

Since the tile is traditional, and the mirror is modern, take the vanity which is also traditional, and make it transitional by painting it a pop-y modern color like bright blue. Then get some artwork for that wall next to the mirror that features warm and cool tones to make it all go together.

You have very little wall space. I would match the paint color more to the tiles, a creamy white. Also paint the vanity the same cream. This will give a soft, classy, more cohesive look. Then add plush cream color towels and a terry cloth shower curtain for texture. Then put something very pretty on the vanity, maybe white candles and a small vase of bright flowers. Hang a couple of antique looking pictures. Once you put it all together it would be beautiful.

I think it is looking good. The floor tile is beautiful. Ideally, the grout on the walls would blend with the tile, but you can work with what you have. Get a removable shower rod (for now) and several returnable shower curtains in various colors...black&white, bit of green, bit of red. See what works then go from there.

I think a simple fix like changing the vanity color will do it! (I'm really liking this bathroom though). Either white or black.

No more white, black paint it. If you don't want black, do a color. Do I see green up near ceiling?

I used a charcoal Art Deco design wallpaper in my powder room. Looks good with white and black.

I really think the thing that is most distracting is the dark uneven grout line at the wall. Super easy fix! You just need to run paintable acrylic caulking in a color that matches your tile (white?), and then paint your walls. It will immediately look so much cleaner! Overall it looks pretty damn good.
