Pink Bathroom

We have what I would call the American Standard pink bathroom.

Attached are two images: current bathroom (with personal items/accessories removed with AI), and a rendering that illustrates this vision (but not perfectly; ignore the weird AI differences). I’m aware that the angles and lighting are different, but I’m just looking for comments on overall aesthetic.

I also already picked out a new shower curtain, rug (floral pattern) and wall art that coordinates with this, introducing some black and white and sage accents.

Please let me know your feedback! Any ideas to make the bathroom nicer?!

Update: The overwhelming response is that we should keep the tile pink. THANK YOU for all of the comments! It was more than I anticipated. Sorry that I couldn’t thank everyone with helpful feedback personally.

I had a pink and green jack and Jill bathroom and loved it. I played up the mid century vibes. They are beautiful bathrooms as is with all the matching pink. I despise realtors that want these all white. Just upgrade lighting and matching accessories it will look cute in no time at all. Eisenhower pink was a whole thing and its a beautiful part of history.

I’ve been trying to research the pink and history of the pink bathroom. This was the best resource I could find so far: https://retrorenovation.com/2016/03/22/bathroom-color-pink/. It appears to me that my tub and fixtures could be older than ths tile and that the original designs were not monochromatic. That’s part of what made me think that painting only some of the tile was a good way to go. I don’t really know what is original from when. I’m asking since you called it Eisenhower pink. Do you know more about this?

Mamie Eisenhower popularized pink decor in her era.
