So my design sense is limited and I don't really know who else to ask...
Our bathroom will have these floor tiles:
With a beige/tan wall color, spice maple vanities like this:
Hardware will be brushed nickel most likely.
My question is, what color towels/bath mat should we get? We are registering with Restoration Hardware and those of you that know know that towels there are a huge investment. We are not afraid of color but aren't sure if color is appropriate given the selections we've made so far.
The cabinets are probably not as dark as that image shows, and the countertop is white cultured marble.
The tile, cabinetry, and walls are not changeable a this point, and we intentionally wanted the flooring to be dark, but we have 100% open minds on the towels and window treatments (there is a big window with good natural light)
Bathroom is a good size but not huge - 9x12 possibly? Typical double vanity, garden tub, sep. shower, sep. toilet room.
Honestly, everything you have is very neutral. You can put anything in there that you want. Do you have any accessories picked out-pictures for the walls, etc.? Find something you like that you want to put in the bath and take some colors from that (I am thinking of some kind of artwork) and go that route.
My first thought was deep brick red towels.
Also, just a little advice from someone that has been there/done that, don't get $50 towels. They are a waste of money. The $12 towels at Target are just as good, will hold up as well AND when you get sick of them, easier to let go of them . It sounds like you are registering--getting married. You will get a complete set of towels-bath, hand, wash if you get them from Target vs just a couple bath towels if you go with the $50 ones. Just a suggestion.
We thought about deep red also - my first thoughts were dark brown or dark red, and red seems to have more character.
And thanks for the advice on the towels - we are indeed torn on the idea and haven't fully decided yet - the ones in Rest. Hardware just feel SOOOOO nice
i am not seeing those tiles with those cabinets-sorry (*wincing*). i dont want to sound like a know it all--cause i am not. something seems off to me about the two together
i would go with a darker cabinet--more "chocolate" to go with those tiles. or lighter--more beige. but the wood isnt working imo...

See...I had the same thoughts, but a lighter flooring.
What type of lighting are you going to use?
I did my bathroom a tad more brighter. I went with the darl camel tone marble top/indented sink, with the white vanity/3way mirror & bulb system. The ceramic floor tile is a light tan and I did the walls with wainscoting/white and cream walls and leaf accessories with hunter rugs.
Do not buy your accessories from Bed,Bath & Beyond! Way too expensive where you can get just as nice stuff at Sears, K-Mart, Wal-Mart.

Another towel tip--often the ones that are super soft don't absorb a thing. They look nice hanging on the wall but in practical use are awful.
