Personally I guess I'd use the green tile on the window wall, so the sink and toilet will pop. And give the rest a fresh look (or a dramatic). Not sure how that would look with your vanity and lvt though.. If you're mixing, plan it well, since bathrooms are not an easy job you can do over if you're not satisfied..

Hi Matt, I've come up with a couple of options for you. I played around with a small shower and a bath but it was getting quite crammed in there. I also took into consideration that you have a young family and that they will probably need more baths at this point in their lives than showers. Also considered that you would probably need space for them and you/their mum to get them in and out of the bath. The average size for a combined shower/bath is 1700mm x 850mm I've scaled the bath to this measurement to show you how much space the bath will take up. For option 1, you can place your bath tub in the corner against the wall, depends on where your window is (as I didn't have this information I guessed and created two options for you). You could then have a large space in the centre for getting around easily and a stool in the corner. The radiator will go on the left wall or wherever there is a gap in the wall. For option 2, again totally guessing that there could be a window in the wall opposite the door, I've moved around all the white goods, with still plenty of space in the centre. Either way there is tonnes of space to get a combined shower/bath along with everything else. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions? Thanks Rukmini Patel Interior Design

Wumi that would make total sense and free up more space. We wanted to avoid knocking bits of wall out and filling in bits if possible but am def keeping this in mind - thank you. IHI - the toilet is currently at the far end in the same place Wumi has in the second plan (the bath is currently in that same position too with the sink at the end of the bath.) At the moment the door opens onto the sink. We thought about having the door open outwards as out loo in our home at the moment does and its not an issue. I will have a look at pocket doors, ive not heard of them 😬. Thank you.

You have a glorious amount of space! I was thinking the smaller room would make a great walk in - a full wall of cupboard space and room for a seat (close off the door and create an opening from the larger room) or dresser, an office, a spare room ... then realized you have these available by using other spaces! So I can only offer a craft room! Lol!!

I would just lighten up the paint and shower curtain. Other than that I think it looks fine...

I agree, put glass in place of shower curtain, change paint color. Also the thing I am draw to the most is the picture over toilet, not being centered on that wall and the shelf in the corner, do you need it, do you use it enough, I have a beautiful basket on the floor that I roll my towels in, i think that may work better, or possibly a shorter shelf.

I also would recommend using a more natural looking bath mat, I had a teak one that was beautiful, look nice sitting out, or just hang this on up after you use it on the back of your door, it will make the space feel bigger, as anyone would try to walk around it normally.

Those tiles looks like faded away, change them and curtain as well !! Glass works well.

I think your tile gives a sort of restful spa feeling, but the paint and all the dark additions are fighting that. Much lighter paint, pick a lighter or brighter accent color for rug et al. Maybe a closed white cupboard for towels, lower than the chair rail.

While a glass shower can be really nice they're quite expensive. If you just changed your shower curtain to a light solid color it would make a world of difference. The one there now is too dark and the pattern is at odds with the tiles. You might consider painting the walls a lighter color too. A very pale gray paint and shower curtain would work well with your tile.

I like the wall color. All I would change is the shower curtain, and maybe the black corner tower.

There are some great suggestions here, certainly brighter paint and a fresh bath mat are quick and easy. Obviously a glass door will be more expensive than a curtain and because the room is narrow, a sliding one, rather than a swinging door, will be easier to deal with. When you consider a door please know that the mounting systems vary, tracks can be tricky...if you sit on the edge of the tub for example or if tall people are using it the top rail can be a head-whack hazard. Make sure you understand the type hardware as well as glass and style.

The wall color "matches" the tile but in my opinion it grabs the attention while the tile should really be the star. Going lighter with the walls will emphasize the tile. Also lighten the rug.

The Thin trim on the top of the wall tile accentuates the long narrow shape of the room..think of painting it to match the wall if it is paintable...or add a wider strip of trim and also match the paint on that ...the suggestions for more monochromatic pale earth tones is good and will visually expand the space..gray or golden beige would be good..add to the decor with natural bamboo elements(waste basket.. Wall suggestions above...minimal Asian prints) shower curtain could be a little more interesting...maybe a pale understated print or stripe

Hi djessie1! I agree with adding glass instead of a curtain. I would also add some accessories to the open storage unit. Some light glass or glossy ceramic pieces would be nice to add a lighter touch to the space.

the bookcase should be much lighter, the wall color does not feel right, maybe if you use a lighter shade of the blue of the the shower curtain on the wall and the same shade of blue for the rug.

Replace the shower curtain with glass, if you can afford it, or a much lighter color curtain. The floor and wall tile are fine, but the wall color is fighting them, so go with a lighter shade of beige or off-white. The black unit in the corner should be replaced, either with the basket idea already mentioned or a low open shelf unit on the side wall next to the vanity. The toilet could be moved next to the vanity but that would be very expensive and probably not worth it. I actually like it where it is, and I like the artwork centered over the toilet as well.

Replace the tiling on your floor and remove the tile on the walls. Replace your curtain with a glass door.

I would eliminate the dark piece in the corner. Because I much prefer shower curtains to glass enclosures, I would replace dark curtain with a white curtain. I would get a large piece of colorful art and center it on the wall behind the toilet. I would also put the trash receptacle out of sight and/or get a trash can with a lid. I think your wall color looks fine.

Classic Home, you are basically advising a gut job! I agree with others that a plain white shower curtain and lighter paint is all that is needed. You might want to paint your shelving unit white and add a piece of coloured pottery (turquoise?_ You have a classic room that already looks nice and will just get better with minimal changes.
