A thru C are very traditional. Unless the rest of your house is traditional and that's what you like, I wouldn't choose any of them. If you're not changing your floor, D is the best, or C if you decide to go tradtional. White is not going to look good next to all that beige tile.

Lukkirish, I canoot upload any pictures, if I do, my computer will explode. I'm on strict orders not to uploand for this reason. However, when my daughter comes home from school today, I'll ask her to take a couple of pictures with her camera and upload them on her computer to this thread. How can I get the pictures posted directly in the thread as shown above, rather than a link? And thank you for offering to do this for me. I really appreciate it. Bronwynsmom: I do not want a trite look for this bathroom, although I am a lover of pink. When I hang dry all of my clothing it's pretty much pinks, lovely greens, and blacks with a blue something thrown in, plus of course denim. I appreciate the advice. Especially on the white trim. Someone up-thread told me to match the cabinetry, which is a fairly stark white, so that is a good thing. Is the best way to compare whites to go to the paint store and look at the sample chips under the flourescent lighting fixtures at that display? I do want a soft white... softer than the cabinets. What makes a white "soft" looking? That Ballard bedroom is gorgeous, Pink Fairy is a really lovely shade of pink as well. It is gorgeous with all of the beige/taupe trim and accent pieces. And again I'm seeing it a large, airy room. My bathroom is small and stuffed with things like sinks and cabinets. Is there a rule about what color does when you bring it into a smaller room and you are standing close to it? I would think that, to the eye, the color is intensified. Here is a link that might be useful: Benjamin Moore Pink Fairy

I think it will look cluttered regardless of the mirror size. Pal has provided a really good and pretty option that maybe you hadn't considered, another option would be to find sconces that go over the mirror.

Which balusters would look best with a dark floor?

They are pretty much in all the production built houses in our area now. I am very traditional, so I wanted wood balusters even though we built 4.5 years ago and our builder was still putting the iron ones in custom homes. Now, I am seeing mostly wood in custom homes as people in our area are getting away from that Euro/Tuscan type look. The wood ones look appropriate in farm houses, colonials, and if they are simple like the pic above, even in more modern decor.

Which David Austin rose would look best?

Get a rose you're in love with.... if you're having a whole hedge of it, then you've got to love it.. ...my choice here would be without question..... 'Scarborough Fair'.. in that colour range.... I'm near the sea and it withstands the elements.... it blooms constantly, in poor soil, drought conditions and heat - such as we get it here on occasions... 3.5 tall by 4 foot wide... no issues... it should be better known really.... not double, but semi double... musk scented with hips in winter.. I think it's good for zone 5... I took this photo in blazing 100 deg .. which I don't get too much.. ...this is a late evening pic... just before dark... ...you will get that I totally love this rose... of course no one else has to like it.. but... ...hope you find something you like just as much....

I would choose D. I agree white doesnt go well in there, and the other three are too ornate.

I’d go with E - the white. Don’t agree it won’t go well with all the beige tile - what’s the white toilet look like? At least it’ll match that piece & also is more open at bottom so looks less packed in. I looked at your older March, 2022 post & read what your issue is with this cute sink set up. Many suggested a pedestal sink. I’m guessing this is not full bath but a powder bath? If yes, I’d reconsider the pedestal sink suggestion. The open look of the sink would, IMO, not look crammed into the small space & actually provide more ’elbow’ room when using the toilet. Would be easy to find a pretty pedestal with wider edge to set soap dispenser on & also still allow more space around sink edge between it & toilet. Pedestal sink would also will hide the pipes under the sink. You could also consider wall mounted sink to really free up floor space since tile appears to go back to wall. Can’t see where TP holder is - in front of toilet or free standing? So, my vote is really ’none of the above’ - look for pedestal or wall mounted sink!

Too many right angles in that room currently. I'd consider a vanity that is round.

I believe I see faux painting effect below the chair rail. ..................?

Which may well explain the vanities she posted.

None of those. You have weathered, "Tuscan style" tile, so I understand why you're looking at the more ornate vanities. But your problem isn't that you need a new vanity. It's that you need no vanity. The space is too small and crowded. I'd be looking for a very simple, rounded wall mounted sink with black or ORB fixtures and trap. Perhaps something like one of these:
