We just put an offer on a house that we absolutely love other then the bathroom. The current bathroom is dated with robin egg blue tub, toilet and sink, what color walls would look good with this blue other then white? We are going to be working on a tight budget for awhile until I finish school so having them refinished is out of the picture for now any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. The tub is still in great shape other then the color.

A light to medium brown. Taupe is one of the new trend colors for fall used with blues and greens.

Vinyl wallpaper border. I enjoyed a mauve & lilac trim. Now you are jazzing up the existing walls. Add paste to back of even the prepared prepasted wallpaper border (so don't come loose in this moisture setting) oruse the paste/glue in bottles with foam applicator.
Paint full walls or paint decorations on existing walls. In a bathroom or laundry room, I like the enamel paint that is meldew resistant. It costs a little more than the basic wall paint. You better set aside time to paint in one time frame or you will see where you stopped & restarted.
Small room = have majority wall/ceiling with light shades.

I think a steel grey might be an interesting color combo with robins egg blue. The neutral grey would tone down the color of the fixtures.

Blue and chocolate brown look great together. If you don't want to go with brown walls, maybe you could paint the walls tan (slightly yellow to warm up the space) and then accent with chocolate brown towels, etc. Look online for Marc Ecko accessories. I seem to recall seeing his stuff with a lot of blue.
Good luck!

A light grey or lighter blue should accent the blue nicely.

Almond. Or paint freehand wide stripes, shades of blue, white, and periwinkle here and there.
