Bathroom Revamp ideas
Hi all. I’m looking to revamp our bathroom, as we haven’t redecorated it since we moved in, and looking for ideas as going round in circles here!
Does anyone have any ideas for new wall colour? While I do like the dark colour elsewhere, the bathroom is north facing, and also has dark floor tiles so overall I feel it’s quite oppressive.
We’re on a tight budget at the moment so no re-tiling, just new paint and accessories. So colour needs to sit well next to existing tiles.
Any help would be much appreciated 🙂

Old bathroom needs a revamp!!
Comments (15)The first thing you need to do is create storage. If you change your pedestal sink for a vanity, there would be storage below for bottles and jars. Also, you have some space at the end of your shower. Have your local joiner make a shallow, tall cupboard right down to the tub to make it look built in. Finish it in an exterior paint to take the moisture from the shower. There are specialist paints for tiles. Forget B & Q. Go to your local decorators' merchants for advice and good quality paints. If the quantity of mirror is not to your taste, remove the one to the left of the toilet, however the wall would be recessed from the front of the tiles below and the only way to repair that would be to tile with the same size tiles, then paint them as well. Better to leave the mirror until you've done the tile painting. A glass shower screen, replacing the curtain, will make the room seem larger. Painting the tiles white would make the room clean and fresh and neutral. I'd leave the floor as is. Wood is warm visually and underfoot. Using some natural baskets for waste and for a planter would link to the floor. Warm the room up with brightly coloured towels and bathmat. Put up some colourful prints using double sided tape to stick to the tiles and the mirror....See MoreMake one bathroom smaller? Advice on bathrooms remodel
Comments (18)I've been thinking about options to cover all basis and came up with this. To allow guests to use a bath/shower the ensuite would be shared. I added a wall in the master bedroom to divide it and add privacy so guests don't have to walk into the bedroom to get to the bath/shower. The upsides are that the ensuite is larger, includes a bath and shower and has more vanity room. Also, by diving the bedroom I can add sort of a walk-in wardrobe. The downsides are that there's only one bath/shower that has to be shared and guests have to walk through the walk-in wardrobe to get to it. Also, it reduces the size of the master bedroom but it's quite a long room anyway and it would cut out the light from the windows in the bedroom. Personally I don't see these as big problems but I guess some people won't like it. Do you think this is a good idea?...See MoreBathroom revamp
Comments (6)Hi Jane, beautiful vanity unit and tiles you have there! Excellent choice! We agree with colourhappy, a warm wood effect tile, maybe layed out in a herringbone pattern would work very well as you can see on the photo. It would be elegant but still warm. A perfect match with other finishes in your new bathroom. You can find these floor tiles on the link below. Good luck with your renovation project! https://www.designangels.co.uk/product-page/andira-wood-effect-floor-tile...See MoreBathroom Ideas for Small Bathroom
Comments (3)If you shop for a space saving toilet there should be plenty of room for a full sized basin on the same wall. A p shaped bath would also give you a little more room at the shower end....See More

3 years agoHi, not sure if I can edit my original post, so here are some more photos and updates :
Have removed some wooden lettering that the previous owners had glued to the walls, hence the patches of missing paint on the long wall.
Have removed one shelf from behind the bath, the other two are being removed today (cheap ikea and have peeled as wet) and we are replacing with 2 x solid timber shelves.
Hopefully the new photos are better, any thoughts on new paint colour for the walls? I feel it looks rather gloomy in there most days.
Thanks again 🙂

3 years agoBetter pictures! The tiles look beigey so how about something like Skimming Stone? I think pure pale grey in a north facing room will give a chilliness to the room.

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoI think the main issue is the lighting. If its a gloomy room and you need to put the light on during the day and obviously in the evening, then a pendant light won't give out a nice quality of light to make much difference. I would consider putting in some really good LEDs to get the lighting right to start with. In terms of paint there are lots of options. One is to paint the walls a soft white that works with the tiles and paint the bath something like India Yellow which would really add some interest, it could be repeated with towels etc. Another is to match a paint to the tiles, either the same tone or lighter, this would involve buying more test pots and testing them on pieces of paper next to the tiles. Another is to paint something strong on the walls such as India Yellow or Bancha, a saturated colour is a good way of fighting the gloom.
