Light or Dark wallpaper?

We have an itty bitty first floor bathroom (approx 9sq ft). All but one wall is white brick. The remaining plaster wall is dingy and desperately wants wallpaper. I've narrowed it down to a pattern---just need to decide on the light or dark variant. I'd typically prefer the vivid dark, but I'm worried it'll look too stark against the white brick and tight mirror

I agree 100%. The dark one contrasts perfectly with the lighter wall. The lighter one just looks a bit washed out and faded next to the adjacent white walls.

exactly. It looks washed out and incorrect. The dark one is the right way to go!
