I have one box of red threads and can always find a match for a red fabric.
I have 12 boxes of green threads and nearly always have to go buy a new thread to match a green fabric.
Bathroom tiles last longer than curtains, blinds, towels, etc. You can either use them as a colour accent, or a colour theme.
If they are the colour theme, you don't want a colour that's impossible to match up with blinds, towels and other accessories. Greens and blues can be very difficult to match up, even though these colours are commonly used for bathrooms.
If I picked a green, or blue tile, I'd have the rest of the bathroom the colour of the tile background with just one, or two other small blue, or green items.
The purple daisies at the bottom are a surprisingly neutral colour. You could blend more things in with that as towels, etc. wear out before the tiles, or just if you fancied a change.
CelticWitch64: Kalp Its hard to choose without knowing your floor colour? but I'd go for the 8th one.
Since everyone's uploading bathrooms, here's mine
Your bathroom is what I'm into..Very warm & very chic.with style
The salmon coloured tiles that go along your bath are a tad lighter than my tiles..That pic I posted aren't my green coloured tiles..Those are the shape of my dressage for my bathroom.
My bath is also like yours with candles & all things cosy..I have a beautiful bath but I only use my shower that is separate from my bath..My toilet is in another room next door to my bathroom.

c*m to think of it that bowl on my pic is the colour of my tiles
This was what I had in mind for my second bathroom.
I have some alternative patterns for the wall, such as these ones:
But.. but..
"Something" came up. And that something has changed my plan for the bathroom wall color completely. I will post a blog about that something later as I found it interesting.
However.. I have bought this ceramic tiles for the floor.
I'd avoid patterns too, like some of the other comments, but also avoid plain white, some of the textured white you're now looking at are nice! Enjoy -
Hi you, pretty long hair lady! I showed that comment of yours to my Giant.
Mercedes_00: I like the fourth & last one out of those prints..I wouldn't put it on all walls
Yes now I know it if flower pattern is put on all walls. It's nothing but making me dizzy even just to look at it.
Mercedes_00: It's what you use on a daily basis so do what pleases you..I'm not into sterile white as it reminds me of a hospital..I like to be surrounded by warmth.
That's what I thought too. But then like I said something came up and changed my mind about the color.
chatillion: Hmmm... I'm thinking porcelain tiles that simulate Carrara marble.
Rectified edge so there's a minimum of grout lines between tiles. It's rich looking... timeless.
Stick with me, we'll get through this!
That looks "classy" alright. But then that will only work on big bathroom, Chat, while mine are very small ones. Unless ofcourse if you have any opinion for my second bathroom design. Apart from the floor, I am still open.

Hey Suzie, where are you going? Yes, at first I didn't really want something plain white for the wall. But.. oh well. Thanks for dropping by.
Kal, try to find larger tiles with rectified edges. That will give you thinner grout lines. Small tiles will easily show imperfections in the installation.
Also the lighting is important. What are your plans for this? If you use warm white (less than 4,000K) some colors will appear dark. Milk white and beige tile may have a yellow or grey appearance with the wrong lighting.
I did a bathroom renovation for a client who picked a tile with a little green that was beautiful in the showroom and looked like a dungeon when installed. The entire bathroom was gloomy!
Without searching, I assumed all pictures were just uploads from the net, so I also uploaded mine, as in taste and style ... no big deal yet for some strange reason, you decided to single out mine

The thing is I have already bought the 25cmx25cm ceramic tiles for the floor. Do you think I still can go larger tiles (let say larger than 25cmx40cm) for the wall?

I use this lamp for the bathroom. It's on 24 hours every day.

Yes, run the tiles vertically. They are the same width as the floor times and the seams will align perfectly. Good choice!
Cool Daylight will give the best illumination. Another good choice!
Kalpataru: Vertically indeed. But what I meant was larger than 25x40.. like 50x50. Do you think it will look "weird"?
Thanks
Yes. Match the width of the floor tiles with the wall tiles. Unless you are using a baseboard or border tile to change the appearance, the 2 different sizes will not look correct.

You can never go wrong with elegant simplicity though...

That's why I will go white..
They are often used when people are disabled, or have limited mobility because they are easier to access.

Still the same owld jealous cow you always were

Classic is always timeless and simple....
It also allows you to change accessories and not have to stay with an outdated color.
The renovation is on progress.. Day3

I do like your plan for the second bathroom though
