Hi Elisei,
I will let you in on something that I've learned over the years when it comes to selecting colours for bathroom fixtures and tiles etc.
a. Only opt for WHITE bathroom fixtures, bath, wash basin, w.c. bidet etc.
This way is will ALWAYS be in fashion and acceptable to everyone. White is the colour of Hygiene!b. As regards wall colours. Again go for a predominance of WHITE, maybe with just a splash of colour here and there.
This may sound like boring advise but believe me a COLOURFUL bathroom can very quickly become an eyesore.
Mike
PS: The white tile could have some texture though! And if you could have a waterproof timber floor that would 'soften' the overall effect.

Also, lime on darker tiles will show extremely ugly and keep you clean the bathroom much more than necessary.
This is certainly only the standpoint of a lazy "house-husband" (is there such a term?) rather than an interior designer which I am not so cannot chime in on the professional part

MIKE...
Bathrooms are for more than just going potty.

No idea about the tiles but I have a suggestion for your model, apply a material (any material) to the reverse side of your walls, then turn it's Opacity to 0.
This makes it like a one way mirror, you can see into the bathroom from any angle but you can still see the material applied on the far walls.

I found some nice tiles with soften stripes in 3 colors: white,gray and black;i was decided to take black and gray(now i don t know...maybe i ll choose white and gray)
I took some pictures and i just downloaded them from my phoneThx for answering Mr Mike and Mr Csaba.(I appreciated that a lot
)

....well I think Double Espresso has just reinforced my point. Can you imagine how you would feel facing into one of those multi colour bathrooms in the morning with a hangover? It would be enough to drive me back to bed with shock
Try and stay away from black. While it looks trendy when cleaned / polished it quickly becomes tarnished. I think Csaba is offering practical advise, keep it low maintenance.
White, white and more white with just a splash of colour and this could be a timber effect floor tile!I've attached a couple of pics showing simple tiling. These have a colourful dado tile to break the wall up a little.

Mr.Mayor is right,
white color look clean and hygiene, colorfull bathroom it's good for display,not really good for everyday/practical use.
i think's pale color,and some border list is good for those type of bathroom.
anyway, if your asking an opinion, i'm prefered to using tile pic005.jpgif you below 30 YO, use double exspresso pic provided. make your live color full while you potting

I too agree with using light colors,the space is small and dark colors will only make it appear smaller.
I would even consider adding more mirror in order to give the small space a larger appearance. -
I think that bath tub with the glass siding would be too sexy for my taste but nice, true.
-
Well,u all gave me some nice ideas ...
Thanks for dropping by...Elisei

On looking at the glass sided bath I wonder how practical it is? I imagine it would be a pain to keep it clean, especially at the glass / body joint. These designers are just trying (unsuccessfully) to reinvent the wheel, amusing to look at but rubbish to use. -

Ya, but think about the ham you could press against that side piece...
I agree with Mike and Solo...keep the colors as neutral as you can..just splash a little color as an accent or to key in accesories..unless you never plan on moving....
