I'd go with a vintage color with punch - like cantaloupe or veering into the pinky oranges. Not a fully saturated hue though. I would also look for an vintage style bar cart or something similar for interesting storage. I recently saw A Single Man so I'm a wee bit obsessed with 50s/60s washes of color and bathroom accessories. While I like the mirror over your tub very much, I would probably switch it out for something with more detail or mixed material. Personally, I would remove the towel rack in favor or two robe/towel hooks.

And of course a beautiful bit of artwork wouldn't hurt.

my favorite colors right now are rich white, inky plum, and gray (everything from taupy to silvery) - all of which would serve to balance the warmth of the brick and the wood in the space. i would wait to paint anything but the walls until you live with it for a while and see how much those columns bother you. of course, no painting brick!

best of luck!

im dying for him to paint that wall behind his tv... something subtle or bold, i don't care. i think it would be the final thing to bring it all together

i'm confused about which niche you are talking about so maybe my advice won't be helpful. the one to the right, i initially thought was origami cranes strung on a string, which actually would be very sweet and inexpensive! If you choose to paint, perhaps thing about a monochromatic color scheme so as not to make it too visually confusing. Also, a more distinct piece of furniture in the left niche would be very nice so that it's shape and design are a piece of art as well. So you could still paint it a bold hue but find a more interesting piece.

hilarious and safe

I whole heartedly agree with John. Colors and color combinations can be interpreted in hundreds of different ways. You should start with the feeling you want and move from there - keeping in mind that many different pieces of furniture, colors, textures, etc can contribute to that "feeling."

i agree with max on the color - even though I sometimes think accent walls can get a little cliched because then it's like the stand alone wall. what I thought might be good to tie that wall into the rest of the space is to do some simple half round moulding painted in the same ice blue for the bedroom. the moulding would be the same size rectangles on your slanted walls. the idea being that same size rectangles would detract from mixmatched walls. also, since you like moulding, in your sitting room you could do a chair rail and have that be the natural boundary for color. Paint everything below the rail. Good luck!!
