Rug and accessories for black and white bathroom?

Anonymous
Floor is basket weave tile, walls and bathtub area are white subway tile with black liner trim. Grey-blue paint on the walls, white vanity, chrome fixtures.

I bought this shower curtain but am having second thoughts:

Suggestions please, for a curtain and rug.

Thanks!

OP here.

Is a print rug out of the question for a basket weave tile floor?

Maybe an orange -red poppy color?

Yes. I really like the combo in the photo below but maybe not with blue-gray paint?

The shower curtain you picked out looks very nice, OP. Why are you having second thoughts?

Given that paint and shower curtain colors, I'd go with white for a bath mat. I like the curtain.

Alternatively, Restoration Hardware usually has some nice blue gray curtain/mat colors and I would check their offerings out to see if it matched with the paint. We have a very pale blue/gray paint in our baths, with white subway tile and glass tile accents in green/blue gray and found good curtain/mat coordinates at RH.

OP here. Second thoughts because maybe it is too fussy-looking? Or am I wrong there?

I thought about a white waffle-weave or hotel-type curtain, but given the subway tile all over, it seemed like too much white.

Should I keep this one in the running?

I have subway tile (white) and blue/white basketweave floor tile. And I have this shower curtain. It is informal, but that is the look I am going for. Also we have a window in the shower, so need a vinyl curtain to have light in the room. I have navy and light blue towels.

My parents had a b&w bathroom and they used red towels.

I don't think it's too fussy looking and yes, I would keep it in the running. I wouldn't do plain white or black and white. Go with something that picks up the wall color and/or whatever color you might use for accents.

I had same situation. We had white tile with black accents on walls, white and black tile on floor, brushed nickel fixtures and Behr Dynasty Celadon (light green/grey) on walls.

Black rug. Went with shower curtain that has the periodic table on it for fun!

But I liked this one a lot....
