Is there going to be a shower there ? I see no attempt at waterproofing so that needs to be done and for tile I like larger plain tile in small sapces and prefer 12 x24 porcleain usually . Iuse it for the bathroom floor and shower walls it keeps the space looking simple and clean and also neutral to allow you to change accessories , wall color down the road .NO to the hext tiles above the window why would you want to accent that spac e. I would keep this very small space simple are you planning to have aback splash if so maybe an accent tile in vertical strip not centered and use the same tile for the backsplash. Is that LVP in the space outside this bathroom ? If not than no to that floor and wall color the very last thing you choose . If this is amster bath please let us see the bedroom it is attached to. It seems to be a small space so keeping it simple and light is a must IMO I need to see the vanity to have any idea about the top.

Thanks for the answer. Good point about the hex tiles. I will pick 12x24. It will also have a niche that I need to pick out tile for. The photo shows the whole bathroom. It’s a very small bathroom that sits in the hallway between two guest rooms. We have not picked the vanity color yet, but it will be about 43 inches with a single sink. This is a new build and I’m planning to use the LVP throughout the whole house, including the bathrooms. My instinct is to stick with white/gray tile in this bathroom to match the white tub. Would that work or do I need to use a warmer color tile to work with the floor and green walls? Thanks!!

Here is a slightly different angle of the bathroom.

Agree with Oatricia - use larger format tiles where you can. Use the small hex in a shower because the extra grout reduces slippery-ness.

Don’t decide on colors until the tiles and lighting are installed. Paint is the easiest to buy instantly. Green might make the room feel smaller unless it’s a soft, pale green.

Small bathrooms are hard. Keep your choices to a minimum so there is cohesion in the room.

And make sure that wet area is properly waterproofed.

how about trying SW Escape Gray

a lighter option than Jade Dragon for a room with no natural light. I have Valspar Hailstorm in a bath with natural light and it reads green next to a gray marble tile. always best to sample.

Thanks Lyn, I think I wll go with a lighter shade, maybe Coastal Plain, which is the next one up from Jade Dragon.

I almost forgot my original question! Definitely going with rectangular tile, and probably green walls. Would you put the cream colored tile with the white bathtub, or use the white/gray tile? I also have a master bathroom small shower area that will need tile. The same tile in both places, or different tile in each. Any thoughts? Thanks!

The first one (Alto Bianco) would be my choice. White and green with the wood-look LVP is a very pretty combination. I wouldn't use the cream colors. And use the same tile in the niche. No need to add another feature--the niche is going to hold shampoo, soap, etc., so you don't really even see the tile behind it.

Sea salt on the walls (or similar) would be a good choice with your tile selections:

I agree with @Diana Bier Interiors, LLC completely, and I've been trying to put together the ingredients for a few small green bathrooms. The clean silver grey really goes well with cool greens. For my countertops, I hope to have Santa Rita Soapstone. Good luck finding a countertop material you love. Maybe Diana can help with that.

Thanks so much everyone! I think I will choose the alto bianco. What color would you suggest for the vanity? White, gray, greige, wood tone? This is what I’m thinking the vanity top will look like. I hope this will go with the bathtub tile.

This is what the vanity top will look like.

Ikreeser the advice I am getting from my designer is to mix wood with these cool colors of grey and green. You already have a wood floor. I see many times that if you have a wood floor and want a wood vanity, you should ensure there is contrast in light vs dark but both in the same hue or color. So if your floor is dark wood, have a mid-tone vanity. If you have a mid-tone floor, have a light vanity. Or you could easily get away with a grey vanity that blends with your vanity top and tile. I would stay away from greige or any yellow grey... Remember what Diana said...stick with the cool greys.

I agree with the comments of going white and grey with no cream and the first large tile looks great. we just refinished one bath and used a similar tile on the floor that had a high resistance rating so it isnt slippery when wet. We are starting bathroom 2 now and struggling. one thing we learned is that no matter what quality LVT you put in a bathroom it wont last. We met with several flooring stores and contractors and they all told us to avoid it and go with either tile or vinyl. So for the master bath we are going with Daltile Acreage in Palamino which may be a close match to what you are looking for.

If you do switch from LVP to tile as @bhlakel suggested, do please consider electric radiant heat flooring underneath. It's so comfy and even goes in the shower floor.

@lkreeser do you have a picture of the kind of glass you will use for your transom window? I ask because I want to install a transom window in my home renovation and am looking for something special. So far this is my best inspiration photo.

Lkreeser with that color top a gray or white would look good. the bathroom we finished has a gray vanity with some marbling and we love it. be care when you buy the vanity most do not come with a side splash if it is going to be against a wall on the side. unfortunately the one we picked the manufacturer doesnt sell one either. we have purchased and returned 7 side splashes trying to find a match with no luck. make sure yours either comes with one or they sell one for it before you buy.

You can do green, but not that green. A sage green that fluctuates between gray, green and blue would work better with the tiles.

Or, you could choose something darker and warmer.

Thank you so much! You are all so much help! I feel like this should be fun, but it’s just stressful!

I am also planning to put the same tile in the shower in the master bathroom. I would also like to paint the walls a SW Jersey Cream.

Would it work to have white/gray tiles in the shower with yellow walls in the bathroom? Do I need my shower wall tiles to have more subtle veining? Maybe like this?

I would most definitely not use the Jersey Cream color with the tile you've selected. It's really off. Better would be lavender, gray, green. Or just white for now.

I was afraid you would say that! I love the jersey cream and plan to put it in the adjoining master bedroom. Is there any way I can make that work? Maybe with some other coordinating color in the bathroom? Or should I look for a completely different tile for the master bathroom shower? This is so hard!

The color in the bathroom needs to work with the tile and other finishes in that room. No need to continue it from the master bedroom.

Why have you selected the Jersey Cream for the master? Do you have bedding/rugs/curtains/furniture that drove that decision?

As I mentioned a gray or muted (grayed down) lavender or green could work very nicely with your tile.

I chose Jersey Cream because I have it in the master bedroom of my current house and really like it. I love having color on the walls, instead of just neutral colors, and I love sunset yellows and oranges. What would be a good paint/tile option for having the two rooms flow with a sunset sort of vibe?

How about if I have SW Comfort Gray in the bathroom and Jersey Cream in the bedroom? Would that flow?

I can't wait to see what you say, Diana. You have such excellent taste.

That's very kind of you to say, kl23, thank you.

LKreeser, perhaps you should rethink the tile for the master bedroom. If you like warm colors, a beige tile may work better.

Or, even better, go bold! You could do a plain white field tile with an accent tile in a sunset color? or a dramatic paint color on the walls? Or a great wallpaper? Marble-look tiles aren't the only option. You sound like you would be up for a bit more spice than a gray bathroom!

The Jersey cream is a lovely color. It’s definitely on the “warm” side and the tile selections you’ve showed us are “cool”. Even though you love both, if the bathroom is right off the master bedroom, they won’t blend as well as other choices might. Here are creamy bathrooms.

The one with the olive green tiles is more unusual.

Two more creamy looks. They both use wood on the walls - one vertical, one horizontal. It adds interest.

Thank you RedRyder and Diana for your advice. You have given me much to think about. I will go back and reconsider changing either the wall color or the tile color. I feel like the wall is easy to repaint, so I need to make sure the tile is something I can live with long term.

Red Ryder's examples are great too--a different take. More subtle but still warm. You could go either way. Just make sure you have a vision and follow through on it.

@Ikreeser do consider a whole-house color scheme, both interior and exterior. In doing so, you will identify both warm and cool colors that speak to you. You will identify colors you love as neutrals and colors you love in more intense forms. Here is a thread I started that has many guides for finding your whole-house color scheme. Feel free to add to it if you find an article that helps you. https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6392803/great-how-to-articles-on-whole-house-color-schemes

The first article mentioned was key to my choices.

@lkreeser I have to say that just because you shared your love of sunset colors doesn't mean you have to give up your beloved green. Not at all. I have a very small awkward bathroom that the previous owner gave an almond tub/shower surround and one-piece vanity/sink and a white toilet with dull yellow vinyl tile floor. Trying to fix it up for a visit from my mom, I added olive green bath mat and towels, including a folded towel on top of the toilet tank. Suddenly I liked my ugly little bathroom. Olive green tied the white and dull off-whites together like they were made for each other. It really showed off the brown of the 70s oak vanity and wicker baskets in the room too.
You have the white tub and want to incorporate jade dragon green and jersey cream. So I am wondering if a tile mixing white and cream might help. You haven't said what you want for your fixtures. If you want chrome or nickel, maybe your tile should have a touch of grey. Maybe the Cesari Bianca II you considered earlier. I'm not sure though.

Are you still wanting the wood-look LVP floor? Or are you considering the wood-look tile mentioned by @bhlakel ?  It comes in a warm honey-toned color. Maybe with your love of sunsets you would like a warm honey toned wood vanity and even doors?

It sounds like you are having this house built. Is that right? Ever thought about flat-out hiring a designer to make sure it all goes together? On a different post, Diana did that for someone and the poster was extremely happy. I was only sad that the post ended without being able to see final pictures. I'm sure @RedRyder and I would love to see how you work through all these choices. I agree it is difficult. By the way, RedRyder can find anything on the internet... Shopper extrodinaire!

What a great article k123! Fantastic information! I figured that my go to color is green, with my cool and dark secondary colors blue and yellow with orange as the accent color. My kitchen cabinets are gray and the floor throughout is a medium wood tone, which I kind of feel like sets the color for the rest of the house. The open concept living room and kitchen as well as two guest bedrooms and the laundry room are all painted SW sea salt. My guest bathroom is going to be SW Coastal Plain. That just leaves my master bathroom and bedroom. Although I love the yellow, and would like a yellow bedroom, I would be okay with doing more green in those two rooms to flow with the gray/white tile. Would that be too much green throughout the house?

I'm so glad you enjoyed the article. You've given everyone on this post a better idea of what colors you like and are already working with. I think the yellow you have chosen for your bedroom and the green you have chosen for your bathroom should work fine together. It would be helpful to take chips of your yellow and green paint colors and a sample of your flooring to the tile store. Then take your tiles of choice back home to see how they all blend at home next to a piece of white porcelain. Take pictures for the rest of us. The key decision to make is back where you started: what color shower tile? A cool white and grey, a warm cream and grey, a blend of white and grey and gold? Lighting will have a big influence of your choice. I look forward to seeing pictures of your paint colors, flooring, and tile options all together. Do you know about Samplize that lets you get larger samples of your paint options?

I'm kinda leaning towards your picture of the "white marble look" tile with the streaks of gold in there now that I know about the wood throughout the whole house, and the Jersey cream bedroom. But I'm sure there are even different choices for that combination as well. Seeing them together is key. And if you love the tile and Jersey cream together, the green can change to a slightly different green if you want. You can even use some of your Jersey cream with the green in your bathroom. Red Ryder gave you an example of a cream and green bathroom.

Thank you k123 and everyone else for your kind advice. I will post photos of the project when I put it together.

I love green too. You can find ways to add it to several rooms through accessories, rugs, art and paint. Just be sure to love what you do to your house. Decorating fashions come and go but you live in your house and need to be happy.

Here are gorgeous green bathrooms for inspiration. Some have more green, some less.

This tile is white and green (not cream unfortunately).

This could be considered “cream and green”. Think outside the box. Wallpaper can being different colors together.
(For some reason, the photos are doubling. Sorry.)

Beautiful, RedRyder!

@Diana Bier Interiors, LLC - I would kill for the last bathroom I posted. Totally my style, but I think it’s a great cream and-green photo too.

I decided to go with this tile combination in the hall bathroom, and here is a view of the bathroom with SW Coastal Plain. We met with the builder today, who suggested we not go all the way to the ceiling with the tile, because the ceilings are 9 feet. He said that it would look better with the painted wall showing, not the tile. What do you all think? We will have a shower curtain, not a door in front of the tub.

At this point the question is more like can you live with it, because changing now means undoing existing work. It looks like your builder made that decision without asking you. The shower head is coming out of the painted wall, and there doesn't appear to be the special water-resistant drywall behind the paint. It looks like he expects you to have a shower curtain that goes only up to the current break between the paint and where he expects to tile, and not to the ceiling. My guess is that he thinks you will have just one panel to the left where the furr wall is. It's an asymmetrical casual look. Does that fit with the rest of the house? Are you ok with it?

I like the paint color you chose. Thanks for letting us see it on the wall.

Here is an article indicating that maybe your builder thought the best place to stop was at the bottom of the transom window: https://www.hamiltontilega.com/a-tileguys-journey-blog/2020/3/21/should-you-tile-up-to-the-ceiling
I have showers that stop below the ceiling too. Dust collects on the tile ledge. And when the shower head got a pinpoint leak it damaged the drywall fast. It's not the most durable option. It was the builders choice. Ask the builder how he plans to finish the tile. Is there a bull nose for where it ends? A trim tile? Ask the tile store. Where does he plan to end it on the sides? It looks like you will have to be careful when you shower to make sure the liner sticks to the shower wall so no water gets on the painted finish of the furr wall.
Where is he putting the vent? I would think it should be just outside the shower compartment and near the toilet. Is a hole up there? I assume the holes I see are just for lights.
