What goes with green tiles?

7 years ago

I need help please! I have these weird colour cream and green tiles (which I can't change) but can paint the walls and cabinets. Which colour should I choose?? I was think white walls and maybe black or grey cabinets. Help would be appreciated please.

I don't think white is the colour to use. You have creamy colour tiles and toilet so I think you should match colour to tiles, replace the lid on the toilet so it matches and repaint all the timber in the same colour as the wall. Then you can add different colours in towels or floor mats, but I would keep it simple just two colours, it would look less busy.

I would go white for walls and cabinets - will make it look fresh and modern.

The vintage green tiles in the first picture are lovely. The darker ones below with the bevelled edges are just so wrong in the setting shown. I am also a lover of green but you have to get the right tone and keep the shape as smooth and flat as possible. I am a big believer in having just one standout element of design in a tile - either its unusual in shape with a matt finish or a special colour with no fussy edges.

I'm keeping the chairs original as they are pure wool. Yes, I'm thinking lighter floors and I will either paint the book shelves in the Island bench white or charcoal (see third picture) I'm thinking some open shelves in light wood and timber lights too. I'll post some pics of inspiration. Until we knock the wall out, I'm a bit stuck to do any more. It's still just a work in progress at the moment

Thanks everyone for your comments and advice. Wuff, the handles were in the kitchen when we bought it. They have the exact handles in 'Early Settler'. We are changing the timber bench because we think it looks country and we want a change. The timber is very strong and durable. Very good quality but we simply don't like the colour. I was looking for someone to stain it darker and I would have kept it but can't find anyone. No water marks or had any issues with it. I we thought we would have to be careful with timber but it is honestly a good product. I would definitely recommend timber benches for anyone wanting that look :) good luck

I think if you replace front door and glass panels as well as the old fashioned lights with something more contemporary it will make a huge improvement. I'd also remove the ironwork and as you cannot re-glaze place some pots and plants on the sides of the large windows to draw the eye away from all the green cross pieces on the windows. Eventually paint the gutters fascia in a light grey/green.

Yes I agree you should match the paint to the tile cream but a shade lighter and the timber should be the same ( are you keeping the red Vanity top?) I would change this to a American white oak just to warmth to the room

That timber top on the vanity would be tricky to makeover unless you had a piece of composite stone cut for it, or even a squared off laminate counter. It all depends how much freedom/budget you have. Can you see a time in the future that you are likely to update the bathroom completely? For now, it might be simplest to just paint the walls above the tiles Antique White USA and purchase a black bakelite toilet seat/lid. Replace the cabinet knobs with some shiny black round ones and the room will take on more of a classic 1920s feel as opposed to Victorian meets 1990 one.
