ᐅ Design question – vinyl flooring and baseboard in the bathroom

Hello everyone,
we recently chose the vinyl flooring for our bathroom. I have heard that in wet rooms, baseboards should not be omitted if there is a gap between the wall and the floor. That makes sense.
The baseboard is usually made from the wall tiles. Since we won’t be tiling all the walls, I wonder how it will look if a concrete-gray baseboard meets a mid-oak tone floor, with white walls above.
How does that look? Has anyone done something similar and could share a photo?
Thanks in advance.

What are we talking about?
The fact is: every tile setter seals the joint between wall and floor with silicone. If vinyl is installed on the floor instead of tiles, there is still a joint there. And it needs to be sealed. With silicone, or better. Not with acrylic. Acrylic is unsuitable for this. That stuff is really poor quality. You get what you pay for.

The plumber seals the entire screed under the tiles or other floor coverings as well as the walls in the wet areas (not to be confused with damp areas). Tiles are just for appearance. At least, that is how it should be. Silicone seals corners created by the coverings.
And what should be done with the joint between the wall and floor?
It is already clear that, in addition to the standard screed on the floor and on the shower walls, a waterproofing slurry is applied. He is asking what to do with the joint. I say that acrylic is not suitable for that.

A flush shower with a stainless steel linear drain (V2A drain channel) is planned. The shower area will be fully tiled (walls and floor). The remaining bathroom floor will be covered with glued vinyl. If the floor installer does a neat job, I find the idea of leaving out the baseboard quite appealing. However, if the transition between wall and floor is done poorly, it will probably look terrible. As a last resort, we’ll simply use white tiles as a baseboard. At least then there won’t be any distracting contrast.
