Pls help, mosaic doesn't match with wall tiles, how can I salvage this

Hi
I've chosen the wrong colour combination to match my mosaic bathtub cove, the cream tiles takes up 60-70% of the wall, mosaic takes up 30% of the wall.
Pls refer to pics, mosaics are shimmery greyish blue in real life.
The rectangular cream tiles are less cream/beige in real life. The pic of the single cream tile is more true in color actually.
I refer don't like the cream+grey combination but it's too late to make changes now.
How can I salvage it? I paid quite a fair bit for the mosaic wall and pretty upset over this.
I have chose iMasonary(attached pic) as my vanity top. Do you think it matches ?
Should I use Zenith Elegance or Just Oak for my vanity cabinet?
P/s: can't seem to post more than 4 pics. Will post pics below in a separate post.

HELP: Small L-shaped kitchen with refuse chute on wall!
Comments (10)Are you saying that cooking next to the chute would gross you out even if its covered? Andd to use it for its intended purpose? In the first picture, it looks like the stove is directly underneath the chute, but I can see in other pics that it is not. I think it is far enough away. If everything is bagged properly, it shouldn't be that bad. You will have to check on local code regarding having the stove next to the window. Code may make your decision for you. People usually just put shorter cabinets above that type of range hood. I would recommend doing so because you need all the storage you can get. The hood--being different from the bank of cabinets--will provide relief to the eye. With cabinets above, it'll still feel balanced. And, as for covering the chute, do you want to cover it and restrict access or do you still need to use it for its intended purpose and just want to camouflage it? To help the room feel pleasant, cheery, and light, I recommend using a glass tile. Even though it's applied to a wall, the translucency still shows and evokes a sense of the adjectives above. I think it would help keep things light. Consider a slightly higher toe-kick underneath the lower cabinets. It helps to create a lighter-footed feeling. You could also consider cabinets that have furniture style feet. for a more open feeling. Your kitchen seems like an ideal room to use modern, lacquered cabinets. I don't know if you like the super-modern look, but I think it could be nice. Maybe just for the uppers. Use a medium-to-light toned wood on the bottom. A limestone floor might be nice. Or you can do wood or laminate. You could go with dark or light. I think it's mostly about preference....See MoreNeed help in designing Foyer Area
Comments (28)Hi Few points: 1. It's not an independent residential apartment. It is a flat in a 25storey block 2. I have attached the floor plan for reference. The entrance is not too huge. 3. It's good to know that you guys have liked the Bathroom & kitchen design. The tiling work is in progress and it has come out well. I will take few snaps and post 4. When I say resort look - I understand and mean a simplistic natural looking design. More towards wood, nature, green, matt finish etc... Hope i am not confusing anyone here 5. Do you think the bathroom & kitchen design gels with what I mean by resort look. 6. The foyer area is a small (not too big) entrance. It's like a passage as you can see in the pics I posted earlier. When you enter you don't see the entire living room rather you see the wall (kitchen wall), where we intend to keep our dining table. Some thoughts on designing that wall is also requested Thanks!...See MoreWhite themed bathroom ... How to warm it up?
Comments (8)I really like pale grayish sage with white. Also a cool greenish aqua for a soothing look to the bath. White or gray Corian counter. If it's a low-use bath such as a powder room, white marble would be lovely for the counter. Rug or mat on the floor with a nice pattern to hide spills, dog hair, etc. If you have a window, lovely drapes, custom shade or match-stick blinds would help warm the space. Finally, if you have a bathtub, a custom shower curtain will really dress up the space and add character/warmth. Look at drapes as well as shower curtains on Houzz to get inspiration. https://www.houzz.com/photos/custom-shower-curtain-phbr0lbl-bl~l_43312 Consider the space across from the toilet & hang a piece of art there if possible....See MoreHelp!!

Comments (7)Maybe these will help you in making lemonade out of the lemon (which I don't think it is)Where else are you putting the beige tiles? And where are you putting the mosaic.Perhaps ramping up the black in accents will legitimize the beige and blackhttps://www.houzz.com/photos/jane-lockhart-interior-design-kylemore-model-home-dublin-traditional-bathroom-toronto-phvw-vp~1267669...See More

10 years agoTo tie the space together start pulling colours out of the mosaic to use in the vanity. But stick to the medium tones like the mid grey. If you use the darks you'll end up just creating more contrast and the whites will make the mosaic stand out in a bad way.
I like the countertop you've chosen but i think the cabinet choices are too extreme, are there any other options? If not then go for the zenith classic white.
I would also add a backsplash in the mosaic between your vanity counter and mirror like the pic below.
Add a long towel rail on the cream tiles to the left of the bath that will break up the solid colour. Use towels in a complimentary colour to the mosaic. In the photos the mosaic looks like it has blue undertones, maybe go for a grey blue towel.
Don't forget to "decorate" the bathroom, add hand wash, creams, brush holders etc that compliment.

PRO10 years agolast modified: 10 years agoHi Rubypumps. Unfortunately you have made the common mistake of mixing undertones. I see this a lot as a colour consultant. Mistakes with your hard finishes are the worst kind because they are very costly to change. Right now your walls have a pink undertone and your walls behind the tub and counter are clearly blue grey. Since blue is complementary to pink, it brings out the pink in the tile even more and the clean blue makes the tile look dirty. It may be hard for you to see this, but this is what's happening and this is probably why you don't like your bathroom. Since you chose such a busy mosaic, it has become the boss (and focal point) of the room and I would now keep your other finishes as simple as possible.
If you can, down the road, change the beige tile. Because unfortunately, there is no magic colour combination that will make it disappear.
Working with what you have, I would most likely go with a more neutral cabinet like Uniboard G21 Viva Walnut. It will help warm up the space. Black is too stark for this bathroom.
- 10 years agoWhy not go with the same tiles throughout the bath? Pick one or the other. Why switch in such a small area?
Since it's already done the part that looks "undone" to me is the sharp, flat line between the two tiles. Don't know if it's too late to add a pencil tile or a bull-nose to transition from one to the other. That might help with the look of the color, too.
