What about keeping the bricks white and painting the walls a Navy? I know it might seem like a dark colour for a small bathroom but with the white brick I think it would look sofisticated and the white would help to make it brighter. I think Navy would also go well with the tiles, especially since there's a darker tile between the peach tile and the wall.

The specific colour I'm thinking of is Benjamin Moore’s “Raccoon Fur” in eggshell. Check out this link to see the paint colour and how it was used in the small bathroom

Or maybe work with the tile a bit better and go with a deep rust colour or a terracotta. It's hard to tell exactly what colours are in the tile.

Keep the walls white. Don’t get too hung up on making everything MATCH. The floor tiles are a great neutral, and work as an organic complement to the white walls. Just bring in a VERY few accessories to unite them… maybe a few simple line drawings on buff paper.

or maybe go very dramatic and go black to match the separation tile. It's just on a few walls and you could add mirrors with light colour frames to lighten things up

I hesitate to recommend green in a bathroom. The color can reflect onto the skin and distort your view of your makeup and healthy skin! (Been there...)

I'd probably go with white or maybe a light peach. Then you could use green accents (plants, towels, accessories... whatever) if you still want to add that color.

Hi, I think Farrow & Ball "skimming stone" would work really well with your tile colours.http://www.farrow-ball.com/pws/client/images/catalogue/products/100241/large/100241_1.jpg
Maybe get a sample pot and see if you like this? I've used this colour heaps with clientsmand everyone loves it - it's a great neutral with a bit of depth and interest to keep it from being bland. It's grey based and so would work with your dark tile detail and I think Grey and beige tones always look super elegant together. Good luck with it all, Hunter & Ivy

I love the industrial/factory look of the brick and agree that white is a good choice for those walls, but that sage green looks an awful lot like the reverse side of drywall (though maybe it's just the picture.) I would stay with a more neutral look, in keeping with the rustic feeling of the materials already present. The beige tile is innocuous; it's just the green band that is problematic. Rather than try to bring in additional green, I would go with something strong -- maybe a deep bittersweet chocolate -- for the smooth walls, with that green band of tiles painted (or replaced with) black to match the window frame.

have you thought about painting the strip of baseboard tile? it's a pain to paint tile, but it can be done, and if you cleaned it up with white, you could do whatever you like with the rest of the color palette.

Yes, green will reflect some weird colors on your skin if the lighting isn't tightly controlled. I'd go with a very light yellow just to bring some warmth in. As the other poster said, a bold navy with the white brick would look great (and oh so French!).

Well, if you are "revamping" the bathroom, why not retile? And move that sink a bit further from the toilet?

But if you aren't ready to retile, then I would recommend going for a dark charcoal-grey. Nix the white - normally I love white in a bathroom but with the yellow tiles I think a crisp white will just make the floor look dirty.

I would do white walls...it will make it look fresh. Have you seen the bathroom from "How I met your mother"....similar colours to that:

Charcoal.

Green makes the tiles look more pink. If you did a creamy off white it might draw out the more yellow tones in the floor. Then hang some black and white photography or artwork in a black frame with a white matte on the wall to pick up on the other black trim. And a plant in a wicker hanging basket.

i agree with the few other posters who said stick with white. then you can introduce color through accessories instead of through paint that'll butt right up against the tile colors and probably look kinda weird (since they're difficult colors to complement).

ORRRR matte chocolate brown walls, which could be really pretty.

Prime and paint the tiles that extend up the wall. Any color you want. Then you can paint the walls any color you want.

I would definitely keep the brick walls white and paint the rest in a light blue hue.

Paint the brick white and the walls a warm grey/warm charcoal.

Add white towels and natural bamboo wood accessories for a modern and warm feeling to the room.

You could continue the brick with faux brick and paint it white. Then I'd go for changing the floor tile. I think that would depend on the feel of the rest of the home, but I think a dark wood/laminate would look great.

The computer ate my comment last night (safari crashed...), so here goes again.

Racoon Fur (Benjamin Moore) is NOT a navy! It is a charcoal grey with blue undertones. It is a lovely colour, but I have to wonder how it could ever be called navy??!! (and I have a swatch of it in front of me)

Given the peachy and green nature of what you are working with, I wouldn't pick a dark grey with blue undertones -- it would only highlight the yellowness and greenishness of what you have.

So -- if you go with dark grey (which could look very good), go with a more neutral charcoal.

But -- it really would take very little work to pull off that "baseboard"; easy peasy. And why stop there? why not just retile? It's easy, especially with big tiles. The biggest work is making sure that you have a good subfloor (straight and level, and well screwed-down).

Go with big 12" x 18" tiles of honed stone, perhaps a dark grey slate, like so:

We installed honed unfading green in our bathroom, sourced from Vermont Structural Slate, and love it.

Or install a melange of encaustic cement tiles, like so:

Either way, your tiles are dated and the grout is grungy; a tile job would make the biggest impact in your space. Have fun with it and good luck!

@ mschatelaine: I stand corrected :P having only seen "Racoon Fur" online without the benefit of a swatch card infront of me I thought is was a deep Navy.

Given that computer screens show colours differently... You're charcoal with blue undertones, to me looks like a Navy with charcoal undertones :)

How big is the bathroom... if not that big, it might worth the effort to change the tile... If not possible, then make whatever furniture in the bathroom modern and in the darkest wood stain possible without it being black, nickel finish hardware. Pure white walls and lots of bright light. It will make it all more slick and make you look nicer too!!

I'm in the minority; I saw embrace the floor color. Pick a shade from the tile (a rusty peach, perhaps) and paint it all over. It will make the floor recede and level out the inconsistencies. Choose a shade several tones lighter or darker for the brick, if you wish to emphasize it. Then, apply accents in a darker/bolder color (window coverings, art, etc) and the emphasis will shift away from the floor and border.

I think you have a good idea with the green but why not try something a little more out of the box - like seafoam. Maybe work in a few accessories made of oxidized copper to help tie in the dark and light green shades. Your tile is very earthy looking so going with a natural color combination might work in your favor. To keep from getting lost in a sea of copper ore, incorporate some brick red - or better yet - try and find a patterned wallpaper that uses all of your colors.
