no, don't go dark. what you could do if frame out your mirror in a natural wood. if you can DIY (look online for tutorial) you can literally make this for $25 or so. or, try running a wood shelf across the spot like this. OR, get some wood shelves. you really need something of interest over the toilet. it's just a blank space these are super easy to do your self. (measure the size you want and have the store cut them for you. don't use those cheap looking ready made shelves. just get a 7" or 8" wide board, cut it to size, sand it, stain it, poly it. attach to the studs, or get some brackets for the shelf to sit on bring in some art, faux plants, whatever or try a glass one and decorate like this even a colorful piece of art, larger frame and a vase w/a leaf in it would perk up the spot save up until you can afford a new vanity/top. look on sites like craigslist or offerup for deals. right now, upgrading your vanity light would do wonders. get something that points down with 3 lights. Check LampsplusOpenbox for better deals try a rug w/some color or texture, maybe switch out the cabinet hardware. that would also help And a shower curtain. keep it pulled closed. Did you know you can paint and stencil those ceramic floor tiles?

my go to bathroom paint color is Behr Day Spa... it's a white with a hint of blue. It goes with anything, beige, white, anything. It would be a quick refresh with your existing tub/shower & floor. Are you replacing the vanity? I'd choose a simple white, but anything would work. I think replacing the outlet covers & switchplate, light fixture would be a fast fix and make you feel like you did an update without breaking the bank.

Hi there, I purchased this bathroom vanity in silver gray. https://www.wayfair.com/home-improvement/pdp/three-posts-currahee-60-double-bathroom-vanity-set-w009037182.html?piid=2147339589 I am painting a small, north west facing bathroom with a whitish marble-look vinyl tiled floor. I am trying to find a paint color for the walls that will not look horrible with the vanity. I am kind of wishing I had bought the other offered vanity color that is a simpler gray. I went to Home Depot and had them do a color match from the vanity. I have the paint sample and all the codes on it, but I can't seem to figure out how to find an actual named paint color that would be similar to my custom color. If I did that, I could know what type of color it is and choose a light color for the walls that would match. I am trying to choose a light blue/green/gray color, but I have held up a couple next to the vanity and it doesn't look great.

Do you have any inspo pics so we can get a better idea of your design style? Are you more of a color or neutral person? What kinds of colors do you like in a bathroom? What does the countertop look like? Shower or is this a powder room? The more info you provide the easier it will be for people to help you :)
