The constant, partim, is what is staying…the white shower tiles and white toilet. Add the dark brown cabinet. I see white and brown and blue or green.

I think I would paint the walls white….the white of the tiles.

The frame of the shower looks stainless…so I guess I would do that for the faucet.

Towels are going to make a big impact in this cute tiny room.

I agree - White walls. Light/medium grey cabinet would look nice. If shower hardware and glass frame are chrome, I would stick to chrome/nickel faucet and lighting as well. The light fixture should be significantly smaller and I would use a mirror as opposed to a medicine cabinet. I think that bringing any brown into this room will make it feel significantly smaller.

Thanks so much for your ideas. I need to find out if the floor tiles are the same white as the shower tiles. I hope they are.

How do I go about matching a white to the shower tile? Since I can't take a tile with me. Get a bunch of paint chips and see which looks closest? Do I need to get the light fixture installed first before I start to match the white?

I have a few inspiration pics in my idea books, if anyone is interested in looking there, under Basement Bathroom.

Agree with everyone else.

White walls.

Chrome or stainless faucet (or whatever finish the shower door trim is), and make towel bar the same. (Same finish on all so it's not hodge podge but cohesive).

Can you have an electrician move the electrical to the left wall (make GFI)? It's in a bad spot.

Then, you can add a nice tall 6-8" backspash behind your new vanity. Get custom mirror cut (by a glass/mirror company), and place the mirror on top of the backsplash up as high as you want (to ceiling if it were me). Go from wall to wall (tile edge). They can even cut out a spot for your new light fixture which will give it even more open feel and lots of light and reflection. (so the light fixture is popping out of the mirror).

New light bar (centered, not left justified as in photo).

If you don't do custom mirror, then you can get a large framed mirror and hang it. There are tons of gorgeous mirrors for a great price. (but you have to move the electrical). Should be an easy fix...

No medicine cabinets....

It will look really cute!

What do you think of this type of look for a light fixture? 2 or 3 lights? Should they point up or down? This thread says down. It is the only light in the room and we're not planning to add more lights. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/bathrom-vanity-lights-up-or-down-dsvw-vd~809120

We are planning to move the electrical and make it a GFI.

I like the fixture. If it is available in chrome I'd probably go that route. I have mixed light and faucet finishes before but since this space is small it may be problematic. I do think all the suggestions noted above will work and the bath will be super cute when done. Best!

Cute fixture, but match the finish to the faucet and chrome shower -- keep all the finishes the same (faucet, towel bar). It really does make everything look better when it matches....(for such a tiny space). So glad you are moving the electrical! I prefer brown vanities too, but if they did order a gray one instead of brown, it would tie in nicely with the chrome finishes....

For paint, there are whites that have a gray cast (if you get a gray vanity), or a white that goes more yellow (if you use a brown vanity).

For Behr paints and a gray vanity, perhaps (White #52 or Frost #57)? If you have a brown vanity perhaps (Polar Bear #75 or Silky White PPU7-12) There's not a lot of wall to work with, so by the time to put up mirror, lights and hang towels, not much white will show anyways.

My monitor may be off, but it might be best to verify the vanity first, then pick the white that complements the vanity (in my personal opinion), but all the whites will complement the white subway....

Satin enamel finish for the bathroom (for moisture)....

@felizlady, you're quite right. However, I don't think the toddler has ever been in the basement, which has the only the laundry, exercise room, furnace room, Dad's office and this bathroom. Thanks for your concern though, it is appreciated. The parents are very safety-conscious.

Why all white, boring sounding to me. I love a little color on the ceiling but prefer some color on tiny bath walls, a light blue ceiling and blue and white wallpaper on the back wall, then if you must- maybe white walls, but I would want a light grey or a lighter shade of the ceiling blue.

Agree with ceiling color pale. No wall paper in bath, moisture even with a fan. Paint walls white or a pale gray on walls/ceiling. I did that in my bath.

If you stick to the all white or white/grey, a colorful piece of art and colorful accessories can be added and changed whenever you are in the mood.

My son and DIL love the pics of the industrial look that I sent them, so that's the direction we're going. I think some of my DIL's photos would fit in to the look and add life to the room.

phuninthesun, partim said her kids already own the brown vanity.

The reason I like the white walls is because how the edge of the tile is so obvious against the present color walls. Divides the room right down the middle. If you stick to white and put some color on the ceiling, IMO the room will look bigger.

The tiles, partim, look white, white. Try B.M. Super White. I have that for trim and ceiling color and my kitchen is all white. Matches very well.

Vanity light..I think I would stick to all the same…brushed stainless.

partim, are you in the Northeast? Storm yesterday wreaked havoc, for sure.

I love all the ideas but I would definitely go with a tall mirror to add height to the room!

I'm in Toronto Canada so we've missed the snow, but have the frigid temperatures. It's currently windy and -21F, wind chill of -27. Brrr.

Be sure to post a photo when you are done! Hard to believe you can get much done in that current weather! Brrrrr is right!

If the colored ceiling is not enough for you, add a pretty picture above the toilet and some white towels with a border or trim to match the major color in it.

To get a good match to the white tiles, prime the walls with white primer first to avoid the yellow cast on all your sample chips. Then change lighting. Check with local code on location of the new GFCI outlet (relative to the sink and the shower). There are many recessed medicine cabinets that have a mirror several inches larger than the recessed part.
