Bathroom decor/layout help

5 years ago

Hi guys so I've moved into my new house but I'm struggling to decorate my bathroom without it looking cluttered and horrible. I really like nature inspired bathrooms and my toliet mat and bath mat is a duck egg blue which I really like. The walls are tiled all the way round with a grey ish brown tile and I'm not willing to re tile it as its quite nice and it's newly done. The tile has a border with jade green marble and browny greens in it

Can you lovely folk help me make it look less cluttered and suggest what items and decor I should use to make it look fresh and smart?

I love Boho, nature, fresh and clean looks in the bathroom

The actual bathroom is nice, but sorry to say it’s all your clutter that is the problem. Sorry to be Honest! You need enclosed storage to hide everything away. A mirrored wall cupboard above the sink would be a start, and then another floor cupboard in place of the metal unit. Also get rid of the toilet mat, they are unhygienic and old fashioned. Duck egg is a lovely colour to go with your beige bathroom, so if you want to carry on the theme get some nice towels either in duck egg or white. Get rid of the pink. When that is all done, you can dress the room with pot plants, either real or faux, and some nice hand wash on the sink. Here’s a few ideas for storage. If budget is tight, buy an old cupboard from a charity shop and paint it either white or match it with the tiling or a colour from the smaller tiles.

Replace the wire shelving with a cupboard so all the clutter is hidden away. You also need space to store loo rolls, and the plunger. How about a bath panel with an opening for storing cleaning products? Once the clutter is out of the way you'll be better placed to style the room.

You have a nice base to work with! What you are missing is a mirror cabinet and or a vanity unit to get rid of that storage unit by the bath. That would open up and tidy up the space immediately. And maybe a nice boho pattern shower curtain? And a chandelier or some wall lights? By the bath you can just put some candles and baskets with rolled up towels-would look like a hotel bathroom;)

Hi. You may not be able to move the soil pipe to move the loo. Is the missing corner the boxing in of the pipes? This is the duo tub by omnitub which measures 1050 x 1050 which is obviously set in the same width bathroom as yours. It may be worth exploring to see if it's an option. If not large tiles so the space doesn't look busy with grout lines and a huge mirror will help. A vanity unit on legs will also help to give a feeling of space if you manage to find one in that size. Good luck!

It appears that you have no other storage in the bathroom? If that is so then I would add a mirrored wall cabinet either above the loo as you suggest, or on the adjacent wall next to the rad. I love the round one below, but it doesn’t seem to have much storage space. A couple of wooden shelves would look lovely for spare towels and a nice trailing plant on whatever bare wall you have left. I think a wooden cabinet would look nice with the wall colour. As to mixing metals, it’s personal taste, I don’t mind it and brass is rather lovely.

Following all your kind thoughts on my redesign, we’ve decided we very much like @Jonathan’s design for the bathroom and the removal of the original wardrobes on that side to give us more space. However in the bedroom we’re going to leave the bed where it is and instead wrap some more wardrobes around the bit leading to the dormer window. I’ve measured up and this will give us another 2.4m of wardrobe space. But anyway, my next question is whether anyone here is a bathroom or design professional who could do us a detailed drawing of the replanned bathroom with enough detail for a builder/plumber to work with? Happy to pay for such drawings. It will take us a while to book a plumber/fitter so I’m hoping to get a precise drawing with accurate measurements, then source ahead as many of the materials as I can by myself.

What an amazing bathroom! I'd suggest using a 90cm wide shower (and perhaps 90 deep and/or quadrant/corner, because of wet feet when stepping out in front of doorway), as there's 10cm on the side for the toilet drain (and some hacking into the chimney plaster to get to 110mm pipe +surround*). Then 80cm width for the toilet. Which leaves 100cm for a vanity. *) and if you can find some of these architraves+alike, you could widen the chimney breast so the 10cm won't look lost. The positive with a faux low wall (for toilet cistern) behind the vanity, is that any dresser can be turned into vanity without losing too much drawer space, as the drain+gooseneck can go behind instead of through. And a cabinet over the bath would not be ideal, just use the vanity drawers and for the smaller things hang some sleek looking mirrored medicine cabinets. Perhaps a towel rack above the bench. Or replace the bench for a storage bench or chest.

Well said forza. It is a nice bathroom but all that clutter makes it look cluttered.

Get a nice blind, ditch the plant and that cluttered basket affair and get a smart storage unit to hide all the stuff (and plunger) in. I'd also ditch the toilet rug too.
