Coloured bathroom tiles?

[Yorky]

I may have mentioned before that we are about to add an extension, including a new shower room

DH and I managed to escape, child-free, for an hour yesterday and went to Topps tiles (the excitement, the romance!)

The shower room will be slightly less than 2m50 long, by 1m40 wide. There will be a walk in shower cubicle across the width of the room, obviously at the far end, opposite the door, with a heated towel rail on the left hand wall as you stand in the doorway so towels are right there as you step out of the shower. Along the right hand wall (from shower end working towards the door) will be the loo the sink and a built in full height cupboard for towels etc.
The floor will be dark grey slate tiles.

We like Topps' fusion range, for the texture, as we have spent too long in rented accommodation with 10cm white square tiles and are running away from such clinical blandness, while trying not to turn our backs on modern style!
I'm currently thinking white tiles all over, apart from the area behind the loo/sink which I want to do in a bright colour (probably blue) to make the sanitary ware stand out, and a strip of the same colour up the wall in the shower.

Can we tile the door of the full height cupboard in the same tiles as the rest of the room?
Should the shelf behind the loo with the inset sink be tiled in the slate floor tiles or the coloured tiles?

Would running a stripe of this silver border around the room just above the shelf be too much?

I've also found a similar looking but cheaper tile called linear has anyone any experience of them?

Sorry its so long, thank you

Now personally I can't stand tiles so I use as few as possible and then leave the other areas bare so the walls can be painted whatever colour I fancy. I even changed one wall to bright red one Christmas it looked fab! My point is the blue sounds lovely but then you are stuck with blue?

I see your point Sherbet, but the area I want the contrast is behind the white porcelain where I want it easiest to clean (2DSs!) and I would tile that area even if I painted the wall with the door and to the left (which would do marvellous things to the budget :) )
