Paint color for black & white tile bathroom?
I need to make some final decisions around our first-floor bathroom. We kept an existing shower but it mainly serves as a powder room. Floor tile is a black-and-white faux cement look, with white subways in the shower, and the fittings are all Delta Cassidy in champagne bronze. It's a longish narrow space (4.5x11.5) and I'd like it to be sort of pretty. If I hadn't already picked a busy tile, I would have done the jewel box wallpaper look.
The room has no windows but I'd still like to do some color on the walls. Stark white paint seems very boring! Any ideas?
Once I pick a wall color, I can pull the trigger on a vanity - if I'm stuck with white walls, I'll do a black vanity, otherwise I'll go with white. Thanks for any opinions & advice!
Floor tile same as photo below (I'll have a small black hex as the shower base):

Comments (6)Consider an encaustic tile if you want more patterning on the floor. Ann Sacks has a porcelain version of encaustic tiles, called Los Jardines (would look similar to photo below). Another possibility is this: Ann Sacks Tap is a solid stark white, but likely too slippery for bathroom floor. Consider Ann Sacks Vertice, geometric shapes in black and white. Or the classic look of penny round tiles -- can use white tiles with black grout...See MorePaint Color for black and white bathroom
Comments (7)Use a gray, not a "blue" . You don't need to exactly match it, and you won't like it if you do manage to do that. Try a pale, soft light gray. If you want an easy one? Go get a quart of Ben Moore WISH,AF 680, but ask the mixer to HALVE the formula. Bet me it works: ) Ignore how it looks in the can. Roll a big swatch, you can tell nothing from the way you are testing. The black tile, will make many grays read blue. Try what I said : Black frames on the same ........See More
