How to freshen up tiny bathroom
Our master bathroom is tiny and I am looking to freshen it up. We don’t have the budget to pull up the floor tile (bottom right) or countertop (upper right). Any recommendations on wall color or maybe even something we could do for a small accent wall? Countertops are grey & white, floor is light blue, shower is grey & white with a sort of light blue & green accent tile.

Comments (5)So you only have that one tiny window? Im not good with decorating but i believe you should get a bigger rug,remove the three pieces hanging on the wall behind the sectional they're too small ,and so are the ones by the dining area.i read in other discussions that art should be hung 6" above couch.look for a big piece of art to hang obove the sectional,are you gonna have a tv in this room?if you are may be you could move your couch to have it perpendicular to how it is now?that way a part of it will be on the wall where the shisha is and the other part will be floating in the room facing the wall with the three little frames where you could eventually place a tv .am i making any sense?one more thing move the dining set away from the wall and window a little bit ...i don't know i just commented to boost this dilemna up for someone to comment im curious about what anyone has to say...See Morebedroom lighting dilemma! chandeliers?
Comments (21)If you love that wallpaper, use it in bathroom. Not really right for behind bed. I would go a drum style chandelier. In a silk pale gold. Your bed looks zen or Asian to me. I love it. But, you don't. Need to much with it. Keep it simple a more formal drape on windows, color would depend on wall color and bedding. I'm thinking a dramatic peacock satin. Use a lighter same tone on walls a rich teal. Ceiling can be gold leaf. With alight that cast shadows on ceiling at night. Then your wall paper will tie in. Furn should be mirrored....See MoreKids bedroom- can any changes be made to look more kid friendly
Comments (25)Its a really lovely room! what a great place for kids to share. I like kids sharing rooms. I think you need another colour to tie it together. I would suggest a blue tone.... teal, navy blue, duck egg blue. to tie it together. Its a little to pale and looks sparse, but actually isn't. I would leave everything exactly as is, BUT, paint the back wall behind the bed teal and find a simple navy blue wall decal that is fun and kid- like maybe one with a sillouette of a boy and girl playing. I would paint the wall behind the sofa duck egg blue. Then I think it would suit both kids more and look more kid friendly. the blues will balance the pink and cream, but because you have a pale carpet i don't think it will look too dark. don't worry about making it totally kid like, its a room they will grow with, not a kindergarten, and it also needs to peaceful and restful for sleeping. besides with their art on the walls and bright toys everywhere it soon looks bright and kid like. Good luck!...See MoreRenovating a tiny( 4'2"x7'8") outdated bathroom.
Comments (53)I am so happy to see you here! I will have to go back and see if i can retrieve my posts... thought I would make them into a little book for my daughter, with photos. Quick run-down on the bathroom (not travels, no time) - The kitchen has a rather elegant sliding door with beveled glass panels. Painted white, since this was the original colour. GD's new bathroom has the doors I had picked earlier; i thought of polishing them but decided sprayed automobile paint (on a resin primer) would wear better. Especially since it is such a small bathroom, and she is so splashy. I have this finish in my kitchen and it has lasted 15 years now. A tad chipped here and there, but only needs a wipe down once a week. Same finish for the balcony doors, also split like the bathroom. We have a new wardrobe, a study table with built-in shelves, and a small chest of drawers for her odds and ends. I want to re-tile the tiny balcony, more as a little statement. Currently we are looking at Portuguese tiles, though I did think a mosaic with a funky cat might be nice. Let me see the costing. The room will be painted a neutral adobe, with bright white woodwork and an off-white ceiling. This means she can go wild with cushions and covers. Other changes in the flat; We have changed the glass in the master bedroom and living room from small cramped panes to a single pane for each section with a 1" bevel all round. Doubles the cost of the glass, but looks so elegant! The air-conditioning is being re-located. The compressors were all mounted in the bedroom and living room balconies, which looked terrible and meant the balconies (very narrow, only 30" deep) couldn't be used for anything. Not even plants. So they are being moved so that the compressors can be mounted at the rear of the building. two down, one to go. Now we can put in some nice plants, fishtail palms etc. The kitchen counter on one side came out intact and will be reused elsewhere. I am planning overhead storage, cupboards, and a draining cupboard for plates and glasses. Right now there is no dish washer, though a place is earmarked, but for now I will put in a cupboard with steel racks for cups, glasses and plates, all hidden behind pressed glass doors. This is all in the planning stage.... Pictures in a little while, they are mostly on my ipad and don't transfer well to the mac. They come without numbers... so I have to rename the or something. Somebody tell me how to do this!...See More

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoI like the elements we can see and would paint all the walls, no accent wall, as a first choice cost-effective change. I think the paint used in the first photo below would be a good option. If you want a more dramatic change and have good light, I would do a navy. A light gray is also an option. With all the paint options, I would do fluffy white rugs and towels. soap dish/tooth brush holders in a metal to match the fixtures/door knobs.
The designer forthe 1st room didn't see to provide the paint color, but it looks like SW Rainwashed.

PROBeth H. :
4 years agolast modified: 4 years agofirst thing I'd do is scrub those baseboards and window molding and repaint in a nice bright white.
secondly, lose the warm light bulbs that are casting a yellow/pink tone on everything. try a cooler, 4000K temp light bulb. can't see your light fixture, so I don't know if that could get switched.
as for the floor tiles, you can recolor the grout. that dingy yellow is horrible. Try GroutRenew (home depot) in a medium gray, or a white.
I think once you do that, and get a curtain and paint, you'll see a big diff.try a curtain with white and a gray that isn't so blue.
you don't have the best pics of the bathroom, so it's hard to see what would work well.
Crushed ice is a nice, light gray. or try some samples of any of these
Or, you can actually paint the tiles to hold you over until you have the budget to rip it out.You don't have to do this pattern, just showing you the option.
these tiles have a primer on them, and then floor paint using a stencil
