Bathroom design

I have done nothing with this bathroom since we bought our place. I want to paint it but I have no idea what color the floor brown and the shower is black. Once I get the paint color I'll probably change the vanity/mirror/ light.

Hi, I think your best option , is to go with the black tile as one of your main colours and add in one or two other colours to that theme and just basically 'ignore' the brown as a neutral, like you might a natural colour rug in your living space.

A more traditional bath style, but the blue colour is nice with the black tiles and white fixtures and would work well with the brown flooring as well.

Depending on your style preferences you can also change it up with a funky wallpaper or piece of artwork.

You could also go with more black or a dark charcoal and then bring a natural coloured element like this mirror to 'sort of' work with the natural element of the brown tiles.

Consider stripes either painted or wallpapered on the wall

Also consider a black or bright coloured rug to match your colours to help break up the brownness of the flooring

I think I would embrace the tiles/work with them. Paint could be a shade lighter than the shower tile or a shade or two darker than the floor, or even a greyish/brown. Add a teak ledge and vessel sink, change faucet and shower head and once you add a new mirror and great lighting, you'll have a transformed bathroom.

I love this style of bathroom! How could I work with the tiles I have to get this style?

I would try and bridge the gap with wallcovering at least on the focal wall. You could get some porcelain paint and do a band in the shower to break that up. Then add rugs, towels and accessories.

I think Nancy hit the nail on the head! Minimal cost too! Without integrating the floor you will have a hard time getting a cohesive look. Mirror has to go. New towels in a Carmel color along with some black ones or dark gray if you pick that up in wallpaper. Could look really chic this way. New black waste basket. Maybe wood container for under sink or beside it with lid to store extra rolls of toilet paper and unmentionables. I think you will have a new bath and wonder why you lived with this one soooo long!

Sometimes it helps if you give the existing colors in your room a reason to be. Find a piece of art that has the brown and the black in it and mount it over the toilet. Then use that piece to draw colors from. A color I love that may work in your bathroom is SW Accessible Beige. It is a very nice gray beige color.
