Help please! What color tile would you use with this?

We are trying to plan our hall bath that our son will be using most often. We like the second color on the top row of the glass mosaic tile on this photo. What color wall and floor tiles would you use with this? The tub and toilet will be white, the vanity is oak and the fixtures are chrome. Thanks!

I'm assuming the top second from the left?

Would you be doing the entire wall that color?

I'd probably use a slightly darker shade of the color on the floors. My cousin has a green glass tile bath and that is what they did.

The problem with white tile floors, especially for kids, its that they show every hairChat Icon and every piece of dirt. We have them in our master (all white) but in our kid's bath we went with an off-white with beige colorations.

What did the tile store have it paired with?

Sorry - yep, the second from the left. They had a blue floor and white tiles for the wall (we would use it as an accent wall in the shower and then a border around the rest of the room). I'm just not sure if it's too much white on the walls with the white tub and toilet.

I have a bathroom that is alll white fixtures and white tiles around the tub. I painted it a dark, bright blue.

Many people thought the paint would be too dark and the white would be too white.

It's not the same thing but I think the combo of colors can really make each one pop.

There are pics in my community album of the blue bath if you want to see such contrasting color.

Re: Help please! What color tile would you use with this?

the color is pretty, but if you want to make it stand out, id go neutral on the floor tile.
How about a beigy-warm color tile for the floor, same color tile on wall but a smaller tile, then take that up to the border (the blue tile youre showing)

and then paint above the border-either a lighter neutral color to match floor &wall tile, and then you can accent the blue border with matching color towels,bathroom accesories.....

or instead of a neutral paint,match the paint to the tile(maybe a really pretty blue)
I just think too much color in addition to that blue might be too much, you want the border to stand out,yet still look classy. Plus colored tile gets tired after a while....youre always safe w/neutral color!

Also- dont think anything WHITE in a boys bathroom is a good idea unless you plan on cleaning it constantly!

You think they would look okay with beige tiles? It's hard for me to picture it.

I know white shows every bit of dirt, but I really like that color with white.

i think beige is a "safe" color-goes with anything.
Why dont you bring the blue tile to the store and try to match it w/ a neutral (there are sooooo many neutrals to choose from-you can seriously go crazy!)
I dont think you'll have a problem matching that blue tile w/a beige-the colors will def go-
but finding the right tile-it might be a little difficult to find a tile that matches the glass-

for my son's bathroom Im doing Beige tile(looks like travetine-very tuscan looking, very neutral) with same color subway tile border, then accesorizing w/a chocolate brown&tiffany blue(love that combo!)

I love those tile! i was going to do the backsplash in my new kitchen with those tiles, but decided to be a little bit more conservative instead! Something like this:

But I love those Mosiac tiles!

Unfortunately, DH doesn't like grey. Thanks for the idea though!
