PRO10 years agoNo paint on walls in bathrooms is my philosophy always tile only , possibly by using a relief tile [second image] can add variations in colour without darkening an area with contrast tile. I recently did a bathroom for a client where we used a graduated tile dark to light from floor up [ first image]

Comments (17)Hi Stefka, The bathroom is coming along nicely. Is the bath panel a match to the sink base? What material is the floor, vinyl or wood? If it's wood and you're not happy with the colour, have you considered either bleaching it, then colour washing it to a similar colour to the tiles around the bath or staining it darker? (Going darker will make the bathroom seem smaller.) To keep the textures and colours as simple as possible, paint the plaster walls a colour that is 2-3 shades lighter than the square wall tiles. A different colour will chop the room up more. A big mirror over the sink ledge, wall to wall, will make a huge difference to the feel of the room. It will reflect light all around and visually double the space. Colour can be added through towels and accessories like special bottles for oils and lotions. Your tiles look to be a pinky beige so look at neutrals or pale turquoise.

They will give you light if you angle the louvres and total privacy at night. http://www.purelyshutters.co.uk/window-shutters/plantation-shutters/waterproof Because your window is in the shower area, fabric will rot and mildew very easily. Plastic shutters can be wiped down with ammonia and water in the course of cleaning the bathroom and allow access to the window for cleaning and ventilation....See MoreWhat sort of vanity unit would suit this bathroom?
Comments (4)I am in the middle of doing a similar style bathroom. I picked up an antique washstand for hardly any money on eBay with a marble top. I painted it french grey and am putting a freestanding basin and taps on it. It takes a bit of time an effort to make good and paint, but if you have the time it saves a lot of money and you have something that looks far better than off the peg modern versions....See Morewhat colour will go with these brown tiles for my bathroom cabinets?!
Comments (13)My twopenneth..... I usually love a good painting update but here I'm definitely with the don't paint Houzzers above. I think the devil is in the detail with this one and you've got the bones of a nice spa feel bathroom space here. Agree you should change the toilet seat to white and consider painting the window frame white too. You could always think about covering the floor with a tile effect vinyl (black and white) for an update there. Complement this with some black and white artwork. The brown tiles will help warm the monochrome look and then like others say its largely about those finishing touches. Some inspiration pics below. The last one is far too cluttered for my taste but gives some idea of how you might tackle some storage, dressing of the room and flooring idea. Good luck...See MoreAdvice on what colour flooring to go with light grey vanity unit??

PRO10 years agoMy personal preference is only to tile the necessary areas in a bathroom especially in the UK, a totally tiled bathroom will feel much colder and harder. It's also possible to wallpaper in a bathroom as long as the ventilation is good and you coat the wallpaper in a wallpaper matt varnish, 4 coats rolled on will protect it (see pic.).
The bathroom scheme all depends on your personal preference and how you want it to feel e.g. calm and serene or dramatic and exciting. Match in the vanity colour (see tips from Man About The House) for a calm palette.
