Wow, pink & black...have you considered a jackhammer?
That is quite a combination for a small room! Anyway you can tune down the pink? Or, go for the retro look & go with the combination! Pink poodles, on white and/or black towels!
Good luck, I am glad I am not in your shoes!
Mine was all white & I thought I had a problem!

My parents house was built in the 50s. They are very serious about maintaining its integrity -- including the pink tile in one bathroom and the mint green in one of the others. Their pink tiled bathroom has tan walls with a slightly pink cast. Having a bit of pink in the wall color makes less contrast between the wall and the tile and actually makes the tile look a bit more subdued. They painted the vanity chocolate brown and added brown and pink towels. All of the metal in the room is brushed pewter. They get compliments on the room all the time. It looks really nice. If you opt to use chocolate brown, choose one that leans more toward red or purple than toward green. It's a subtle difference, but, again, it will subdue the pink in the tile. They found a striped rug that includes tans, pinks, brown, and even some brick red. They've actually opted to use some of that red in accessories -- a painting and a vase. Anyway, it looks really nice.

That color puts you back in the mid 50's. Have you considered removing the tile and going with a new color scheme? You can also upgrade the toilet and the vanity or put in a pedestal sink. New lighting and fixtures. New tile on the floor.
Look in magazines and try and get ideas from them. See if you can find pictures of homes for sale on the net and see how their bathrooms are decorated.
good luck.

If there's a window, find a tiny floral fabric including a third color. It most likely will be a green. Then match that green with your towels, especially if you don't like poodles. Green will go well, but not gold.
If there's counterspace, use a white milkglass bowl with miniature soaps in pinks and blacks, marbles in those colors, or creatively display your black-cased eyeshadows and blushes with your pink-cased lipsticks. Mary Kay sells lipsticks in pink cases. Almost all eyeshadows and blush cases are black.
If there's a wall above the tile that allows hangings, find or make a wreath with pastel pink rosebuds and eucalyptus.

Use shower curtains with a touch of purple or lavender to contrast the color of the pink tiles. Photo frames in neon green would also give a brighter color to it. The rugs must also be in purple or lavender. If you dont want photo frames, try to paint a touch green on your cabinet perhaps. Accessories you bathroom with indoor plants like cactus. Put some candles in shades of purple, green, white and yellow.

A 50's look would be cute
