You may think I'm spending too much time thinking about the bathroom, but it's really the only area where I'm going to have any creativity in this new house. Most of the other rooms are pretty well established. We have furniture and rugs. The walls are painted nice colors. I talked myself out of buying new guest room bedding because the stuff we have is perfectly serviceable and the blue and white of the things we have will go fabulously with the light yellow walls of the guest bedroom. Basically, the bathroom is the only almost completely blank palette.
So I bought a shower curtain, but I was thinking about taking it back until Jason saw it and said, "Oh, that looks nice."
As I mentioned, the bathroom is mainly white, with black accents in the tiles. I got the red towels, right? We already have a tan bathmat, which I was considering getting rid of and replacing with a red or white one, but then I found a shower curtain that is horizontal striped red, tan, brown and white.
I thought, "Red and tan! I can make the towels work with the bathmat!"
Then I got it home and remembered the black tiles.
Then I remembered I have a small wall hanging of Tournee du Chat Noir (for Tiny, our chat noir). Red. Check. Black. Check. Tan. Check.
Maybe I can pull it all together after all.
I'm going to run with this plan, take pictures, and ask for commentary. But what's your gut reaction? Is it ok to have tan and brown in the same bathroom as black? Will it just look messy?

Black and brown are neutrals, so you can mix neutrals freely. Look for things that "go", not necessarily things that "match", hence my orange blouse and yellow shoes today.
(OK, back to me now.)
My bathroom has some black and white tiles on the wall, and I have some bamboo containers, and I think it looks fine, so you are probably OK.
I agree with Deborah. We also have black and white tiles on the bathroom floor and I've got a tan bath mat and red towels. Works for us!
