Hi Eva. I am doing a reno and also looking at the same thing! I have found the Cavalier Bremworth at Carpet Court and really like it. It has a texture which picks up the colors around it and it's softer against the wood and tiles than other carpets I've seen. The attached pic is the colour Legato which is a mid range colour, but there are darker browns or greys and a lighter one too I think. The pic doesn't do it justice, but it really is lovely and worth a look. Good luck!

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.

What type of tiles goes with vanilla ice quarter

This is a very personal choice as dreamer mentioned. You can order tile samples from tile cloud or TileMall for $15 for 5. Pick some options you like and put up in the kitchen next to the other elements. You will soon know which one you love the most 👍🏻
