Suggest a colour to go with these tiles

[Cedarfire]

I’m in love with these tiles and want to use them in our downstairs toilet. We have exposed pipework in there which looks less obvious when painted a dark colour so I’m looking for something fairly dark to compliment the tiles. What would you suggest?

Huge thanks 😊

Personally I’d do a deep ocean blue

If you want the pipe work to “disappear” I’d match the dark blue shade in the tiles.

Those tiles are beautiful! If it wasn’t for the pipes I would say a pink/plaster colour. A deep blue/black would really make the orange tones pop and hide the pipework

I'd go for a very dark blue almost black. You can paint the pipes too. We did it with ours

Great picture @Baxdream I love the wallpaper! Yes I was thinking a very dark blue or green would work well. Did you use a special type of pain on the pipes? Any reccomendations on particular shades or brands to look at?

It's just metal spray paint. They were boxed in, which we removed. I always think downstairs toilets should be a bit out there!

A dark blue with the turquoise undertones, satin brass taps 😊

It's already v full on. Just pick a blue or orange.

I'd go for a caramel/honey colour, it's very 2022. People will see the pipes whatever colour you paint them. But if the are the same colour as the walls its all the same.

I would do a olive green

Can you replace the pipes with copper? Would look fab against the tiles. Or terracotta paint if not?

I love the idea of copper piping, I might see what the cost would be. I'm not sure I can do terracotta, I remember it too well the first time around - my 90s childhood home was 98% terracotta! There are quarry tiles on the floor so there's already some terracotta in there.

Farrow and Ball Hague Blue would be lovely with those tiles.

Totally agree - your house can be minimalist and neutral but your little toilet should be crazy and fun! You're in there a few minutes at a time and it's fun for guests

I would go for a dark mustard or a dark teal if you are doing paint - basically pick out a colour from the tile (which are gorgeous) and do a darker version

Dulux Hawaiian blue 1 or 2, Teal Velvet, Breton Blue or lost lake or teal tension
Would all work
