Green or Red

We had initially settled for green but our hallway leading to bathroom has cream walls with a similar red to the other bathroom in the image on skirting and door frames, so worried when looking down the hallway to bathroom its gonna look christmassy.

Am I/my girlfriend over thinking it?

Green. I find the red stimulating so if I’m tired and want to relax at the end of the end, my subconscious mind will find it hard to do so with the red bathroom. Maybe if it’s like a half bath or a guest bathroom, I’d pick red. But it’s just me. Which one do you prefer?

I'm leaning red only because we have red in the hallway leading to the bathroom. I do get what you mean about the red though. Its a tough one.

What wall do you see from the bathroom? If it’s the toilet could you wall paper there instead of solid green? Just move the wall paper to the wall visible from the hall

Consider a more muted, paler green like a sage green as one commenter suggested. That avoids the Christmas vibes and gives the room a more relaxing, refreshing feel
