My bathrm is a lightish pink, toliet, sink, tub. Over my mirror is flowered wall paper. What colors can I use?

I'm not looking to change my the color of the tub or anything else. I just need to know what colors will go good with lightish pink. I need to change that wall paper and accesorize. I've used Burgundy in the past but I'm tired of looking at that color. I am going to redo my tile on the floor so suggestions will be nice. Thanks

Mauve, peach, pale lime, lavender, lilac.
Reply:I would suggest a light pink or red. I would also go for a speckled tile. Good luck on the redecorating!!!!
Reply:I know this might sound weird but light green (not neon green) works really well. And if you are looking to turn down the pink a little, use light green toliet covers to cover the lid and the back part. (unless the whole entire toliet is pink, and not just the lid, otherwise just do without the covers for the toliet because it will look crazy). Just use light green accessories like floor mats towels, and shower curtain. Just little things like soap holders and things. If you use it on the walls to it will tune down the pink and will look fresh like spring time. Good luck!
Reply:white tile goes with every thing, you can't go wrong if you prefer you can use pink grout to match the tub and toilet.
Reply:How about a light green for the walls and slate gray for the tiles? For accessories, add some fish to the walls and shell shaped soap dishes and toothbrush holders. I've done this with my bathroom and everyone loves it. I also hand painted seaweed growing up the walls and the ceiling is sky blue with fluffy white clouds. The fish I added to the walls were magnets in shapes of different fish that I picked up at the dollar store. I used 2 sided tape to stick them to the walls.
Reply:to make the pink really POP try shades of gray as dark or as light as you prefer..also a little bit of black like in a wrought iron candleholder really sets off any pink..tile could be soft creams or grays with a speckled finsh that had pink shades..
Reply:that pink is pretty nasty. the best way to tone it down and make it look a little more sophisticated is with grey. try a checkerbord of tiles for the floor using 2 shades of grey. paint the walls using the lighter of the 2 shades from the floor tile. use black for small accessories like soapdish, tumbler, toothbrush holder, etc. pewter or brushed aluminum would be good for light fixture and towel bars and t.p. holder and light switch/outlet plates.
Reply:i like the soft light pink with a slate gray, using brass color accents. maybe a deep hunter green.


if you use the gray, for the floor tiles, first, it would be more neutral, and easier to work with if you ever do want to change the color of the fixtures, if you have a ceramic tile master, like i did, my brother, he actually can incorporate a few light pink tiles into the pattern to blend this all together..


good luck
Reply:light lime green goes well with pink. it's fresh and soothing. that would be my suggestion with white towels and white and dark green (like a plant) accessories
Reply:I would go with adding black and white for an art deco feel. I would use the same kind of floor tile that's in the picture, paint walls white and add black rugs and accessories.
