It's quite dramatic. What don't you like about it? What do you like?

If it's in the budget, replace the fixtures with bright white ones. It will create more stark contrast and will look better against the teal. I happen to like the dramatic feeling and color of this space. (Then again, teal happens to be one of my favorite colors!)

Consider installing some stained wood floating shelves above the toilet and hanging a framed print on the wall next to the sink. It really just needs some good accessorizing and nice light fixtures.

Can you show a picture of the lighting above the mirror?

I don't like the wall color...it's overwhelming and too dark. I wish I could change the grout color to match the tile, not sure if that can be done.

Here are some photos that are contemporary and have tile. bathroom ideas.

I like the grout color because it shows off the different tile sizes. What about repainting the walls a light, warm taupe with greenish undertones?

I like it and for a powder room where you're not in it constantly, like a living room or a bedroom, I like it! I do like the suggestion of white/white fixtures but if it's not in the budget, it's not that "big of a deal". A powder room can be quite dramatic unlike most other rooms in a house.

I would also look for wallpaper from Cole and Son or Anna French through Thibaut. They have some bold patterns that could work.

Look at the combos with teal at this link and see if you see a paint color you like. https://www.pinterest.com/explore/teal-color-schemes/

It’s really not as bad as you think it is and can end up being very pretty. If it were me, I’d paint the walls a soft creamy white and let that pretty tile be the star of the room. Chrome fixtures would be pretty along with some teal hand towels and it will be very lovely.

PAINTING TIP: To paint over dark colors like that, put an 1 oz of black into the primer to make it gray. The gray will neutralize the dark color and keep it from bleeding through so you don’t have to paint the room a bizzilion times to cover it.

I love the tile. I like the picture showing the light fixture. I might think about painting the non-tile walls the color of the door.

I feel like the disconnect is between the mirror and fixtures versus the wall color and tile, not the tile versus wall color. The round beveled mirror reads traditional to me.

Are you planning on decorating the walls? Perhaps you can find some things that will break up the wall color a bit and tie everything together. Geometric sculpture or some art?

I like the tone on tone idea in a powder room, but I agree that the paint sheen is too glossy for the wall. If you really do not like the paint color than I agree with those who say a shade like the door color to let the tile shine.

Your suggestions are awesome! I plan on decorating the walls- I agree the mirror nor the light fixtures help to create a contemporary look

The glass tile looks great and I actually like the wall colour. I was wondering though, what is the colour of your ceiling? If it's not already white, I suggest you paint it white, then get a light fixture that shines on the ceiling. It will provide for a much less gloomy atmosphere. If you still don't like it, you can change the wall colour afterwards. I wouldn't do wallpaper here, one interesting wall is quite enough in such a small space. Good luck!

Also, as Sabrina Alfin Interiors suggested, some decoration would do a world of good. I'd go for a black and white print.

I like it, but in person idk. Could a slight slight sanding work on the paint? What color do you ever like seeing/wearing with teal?

The grout seems a nice touch, especially cause bathroom has light: toilet and sink -- just repeats them fine. Course floor and door too. It simplifies a small room to have 2 colors.

Posting teal and cream and wood photo, to further idea of wood shelves someone gave:

I think painting the walls similar to the grout color and then art to bring in the teal.

Canvas is good in moist bathroom [in mine it is]. A simple subject... large flower wouldn't have tiny details to detract from geometric shapes of tiles:

Let's see the other walls, and how much of the light paint covers them: in cabinets, etc... if a lot of them, maybe just keep that same color going on the walls....

Other textures too:

Similar though light, might be alright [2 of the sister prints]:

Your satin nickel and mirror - teal goes with warm and cool:

Let there be fun!

Or a look that blends right in [except for frames]. Might look ok too if painted teal walls become neutral.

I honestly can't see what's so bad in what you've done:) Of course I might be missing something, but it seems fine to me..maybe overwhelming to you since it's new and you need some time to adjust?

Agree with the suggestion with going with lower sheen-if you plan to repaint of course. will seem deeper as well. high gloss can be amazing on walls but usually to get that look you need a pro that does nine layers of it or something.

Art that you love will make all the difference for you. I'd go for black and white..or for bright poster..or for vintage portrait..well anything that really rocks your boat so to say. Find something cool that speaks to you, and have a blast.

That's a very nice powder room

some prints, just for fun:)

I would add some large art to break up the color, maybe something that is black and white or has a lot of (white) negative space to break up the walls

We agree with painting the walls and adding wood shelves. The tile is striking on its own without having the surrounding walls competing with it.

I would add a modern vanity that is wider than the pedestal sink and a larger mirror. Your toilet and sink have equal billing as the focal point on that wall, and I don't think you want the toilet to have such star power. You could probably do a 36" vanity to fill more of the space between the sink and toilet as the gap seems wider than normal. I'd also get a more modern one-piece toilet.

I think palimpsest is right, it's the sheen of the paint. Here's mine with flat paint. ( It's a lot darker than in the picture). Wall art makes a huge difference too.

Yes the sheen. Just paint over it. Or you could try 25% of current color in flat.

Another vote for flat paint. Also the only thing I might change other than paint, is the light. They are very easy to change and not expensive unless you go wild.

All of the above ...or you could just tile it the same as the other wall. It's a pretty small wall.

If you can replace the mirror I would go with a rectangular one. The oval shape is really fighting the linear lines of the tile.

An eggshell or even flat finish with just a touch more black would work I think. The oval mirror is proportionate to the size of the smaller pedestal sink. I think a rectangular mirror would overwhelm it. I think you need a more dramatic fixture.

Adding art will help as well.

I could see a silvery gray paint color on the other walls.

I agree with the suggestion to give it a bit of time before committing to changing it. I like it, as it seems a lot of the other poster do. If you still hate it in a month or two or three, you can paint it then.

It is a very dramatic look so I can see how it would take some time to get used to. Love the idea of adding white--mirror frame,fixtures, art etc. Glass tile really reflects the colors around it. What color are those tiles on their own? Did you paint behind them before you began? Bathrooms are traditionally a higher gloss than other rooms--is that about moisture being absorbed? Think it through before you jump to fix.

In a bathroom, why use flat? any spots or such would wipe off easier with eggshell type, yes?

I would repaint in matte, in white that is the color of the door. Nowdays, even good matte paint can be wiped clean, so that isn't an issue.
You need a much larger light fixture. If it's in the budget, I would also install a nice cabinet with sink. The current pedestal doesn't work size wise visually.

For the rest of the walls, find some art that you like to hang.

And since this is a powder room, you really don't have to worry about moisture. Plenty of beautiful powder rooms with gorgeous wallpapers, that normally wouldn't work in more moist master bath environments.

I agree that an eggshell is probably the right sheen choice, especially if you decide to keep a more saturated color on the non-tiled walls. The high gloss looks way too glossy (though maybe it doesn't show as much in real life and is just highlighted with the flash), and isn't necessary for a powder bath. Flat would likely show water marks from any splashing or dripping during hand washing. I painted flat in a saturated color just outside a bathroom in a previous home, and there were visible water marks under the light switch.

A light gray/teal wall color might look great.
