Please Help! I don't know what to do with my bathroom!

last modified: last year

My current bathroom is just not working for me anymore and I am trying to make some minor updates but not sure where to start.

I would like to paint the room but not sure what color - I've thought about olive/hunter greens and many versions of white but not sure what would work the best with the undertones I have in my floor and shower tile.

The cabinet hardware is new, as is the shower curtain rod so I plan to keep those but I do not want to replace the shower fixtures, which are chrome. I would be open to changing the sink faucets (currently chrome), mirrors, and the vanity lights (currently chrome).

I also plan to paint the crown, walls, and possibly the ceiling all the same color.

I'm not a fan of the tile floor so I would like it to blend in well as we may change it to a french oak style LVP at some point in the future.

I have three bathrooms that look like this bathroom (same color scheme, fixture colors, and hardware, along with my laundry room so whatever I do, I plan to replicate in the other rooms.

Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks!

Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with it. I would just change the shower curtain to a pure white since the beige doesn't work there. I'm not sure that mixing in the gold tones (shower rod) works here. What's not working for you? And why do all the bathrooms have to match?

I would change the mirrors, shower curtain and maybe paint. All else looks great.

Could you look at separating walls between the two? What else do you want to put in the bathroom? Probably the best type of tile is a white ceramic tile to blend the floor toilet with the floor. Do users have good vision (not elderly) as if there is a problem of using the floor toilet in the night, you might need a darker tile to delineate the floor toilet

I agree with divadeva. More lights. If you can add pot lights do it. If they're already there add task lighting and up the wattage on the bulbs on the pot lights (replace with LED and you can make them brighter because the wattage on LED is lower for brighter light). If you have all of that add decorative lighting. If ventilation is an issue find a way to move the air around or add air filtration. Maybe the HVAC is deficient. Maybe you can add a HEPA filter instead of the standard one that comes with the unit. Call an HVAC specialist to see if there is a way to boost air flow in the room.

Hello ramarao, This is the outline furniture plan of your given layout. Some measurements needs to be rechecked. If you can do some structural changes like the door from the drawing room to some other room and few minor changes, we can plan it better.

Maybe try wall art or a shower curtain with a pop of warmth plus the cold gray/white. I agree that the brassy rod looks out of place.

Or wallpaper the ceiling?

I would think about more colorful art and a different shower curtain.

A deeper paint color could change the mood o the room. The shower curtain needs to be replace.

I'm sorry you're not loving the bathroom. I think the tile work is gorgeous! In my opinion, the shower curtain rod and vanity hardware is clashing with the silver mirrors, faucets, and light fixtures. You could possibly leave the shower fixtures alone, but I'd swap out the others so that it's consistent. Consider a white shower curtain too as the current beige tone is clashing.

As far as paint, why do you want to paint the trim and the walls the same color? You have nice trim in the room and it seems like it'll be a lot more blah all painted out the same color.

What you have right now in terms of tile (gray/white) and fixtures (white) can go with so many colors. Do you want something bold and moody light forest green? Or do you want crisp and clean like white? It's a very personal preference.

If you can find faucets that complement the hardware and shower rod,that would be my first suggestion. Two simpler mirrors with thinner frames would also look more modern. A new light fixture for sure.

And definitely look for a shower curtain with a fun pattern that has some gray and/or green. Maybe something floral? Or geometric?

I personally love the color of your walls, so if that’s the first thing you want to change, I have no suggestions. :)

Based on wanting flooring to blend in/potentially replacing with french oak, I’d consider the overall feel and how to best complement. I find the wall color doesn’t connect the bathroom/is a bit harsh and perhaps a softer shade wouldn’t feel as prominent and other features will become more appreciated. SW Window Pane, or something similar, is a lovely color and I think better complement bathroom.

The mirrors and lighting will be the next most important updates.

I’d use a textured white shower curtain and would replace the generic grey art (consider the potential french oak flooring in choice).

It’s a shame to duplicate in other bathrooms and in laundry room. There are so many options: white, light or dark grey, cream, greige, another green, list goes on, including wallpaper. If you would like suggestions, maybe start a post for laundry room and perhaps powder room.

@Maureen posted great examples of new mirrors. Do those first and then reassess. Her paint color suggestion is also spot on.

Please don’t duplicate this bathroom 2 more times. Each bathroom should relate to the spaces near it - your guest bath should complement your guest room, etc.

You might look into a new shower curtain and maybe new mirrors. Below is a bathroom design we did for a client which might inspire you more.

The shower curtain color is really the only item that doesn't seem to work well with the rest of the space. Since you have white items in the bathroom and not beige items, we think that is the only switch that needs to happen.

The shower curtain rod needs to be chrome, the curtain white.

I found some pics on Houzz that might inspire you?

If you have three bathrooms they can all have a different 'feel' but be tied by a similar color. It can be the same color in each bathroom but going pale pastel in one to bold in another depending on your desire.....to choose a color I would select from colors already existing in your home and really a color close to eacj bathroom.

The pics represent colors and degrees of intensity and metal options. Looking only at the graphics and then you choose the colors and finishes to complete the room. I am talking too much. Have fun with the pics for inspiration.

1. Bold in paint and wall paper but again endless possibilities for the bath.

Lots of energy.

2. This bath is the exact opposite of above but painting a white that works as one of the colors in your tile only changing the fixtures makes a statement and you could only change the vanity fixtures and put in plate glass to open the room. Tres chic. This could highlight your beautiful tile/stone work in the room.

Monochromatic

3. Accent wall says it all.

Only on color accent against a neutral paint

4. And of course basic Black which is the highest contrast with white, and therefore the most drama....love the simple painted mirrors which saves money for new lights and the chrome fixtures are already in place; another way to save.

Deep dark bold.
