you dont want to paint any of your large pieces black ,such as the vanity, it will take away from the space that youre allready lacking

If the bathroom is really tiny, you’ll want to stay with very light (or white) to make it appear larger. Dark colors and checks will make it look smaller. You can always go crazy with any design/color shower curtain and bath mats.

Black is a great accent color but once you paint the vanity black it will be VERY difficult to turn back. I painted a cool piece of furniture black and I am sorry now, even though it looked good for a couple of years, now I’m bored with it. I wish I had left it and went with rugs, pictures, towels, curtains, etc.
I just did my bathroom a couple of years ago and it is really calm and gender nuetral. It is white and beige which looks good with cobalt blue…or…red…or…aqua…
Whatever I’m in the mood to do with it.
Even if you painted it a brown that had reddish tones like clay it would really make a statement and push the walls away visually. It is a misconception that dark paint shrinks a room. Especially if the trim is creme or a soft beige. Black towels and a shower curtain with geometric shapes and black accent color in it with black and white photos in frames that matched your trim would look modern and stylish….
Here are some sites that are good examples of versatile colors etc…

GOOD LUCK!
P.S. The checked floor with black & white would shrink the room…go nuetral and get a rug that has that 50′s geometric look….the current trend is 50′s patterns in earthy tones….a bathroom greatly affects a homes resale value too.
