I would paint all the trim/ door/ anything that looks like wood white, except the cabinet black. Black and white checked floor. Retro fun art. new shower curtain and new white window treatment.

Thank you both for the suggestions. Unfortunately, the wood trim and the door are matching wood-tone in the whole house, so I'm not sure I could change them in the bathroom without changing them everywhere.

I do not believe that painting your trim would affect the rest of the house. I would not go over the floor tile with a stick um floor tile. i believe that your decisions should be based on what design you plan on in your bathroom. the medicine chest really does not go with the floral patterns you have now. It would not have been original to that bath room nor would the sinks.

When i had such a bath room, i replaced the giant mirror with a more appropriate one, same with medicine cabinet.

I painted the walls behr cottage white - it has a way of calming pinks, amazing actually.

I then used wall paper border with magnolia blossoms and leaves, it has a bare touch of pink in the blossoms. I used green accessories - towels etc. and it looked grand. Green goes very well with pink. there are many bathrooms on Houzz with pink tiles.

You can also go with black accent.

remember, you can easily use a cute or pretty floral, jungle, etc. shower curtain as the base for your decoration.

@havingfun Thanks for the suggestions. The medicine cabinet and sinks are original to the house, and the floral motif was added by a previous owner.

Well the ones from that age i had were mirrored not wood with that decoration. I would say original to that first owner. My bathroom just like that had none. just the giant mirror.

You can paint the bathroom side of the bathroom door and the door trim without worrying about the trim in the rest of the house. I'd paint the walls white or very light pink. You can take out the floor inexpensively and replace with linoleum (not ideal) or tile. The room is probably under 200 square feet so you're not going to be spending a lot of money. PLEASE take out the medicine cabinet. It's really an eye sore. New shower curtain and window treatment.

White and lush, cover the floors with large white rugs. BB&B has a beautiful rosette shower curtains done in white. And yes, paint the wood.

We have a similar pink bathroom and we are planning to paint walls a light- medium grey and white trim. Your shower tile looks like it's in great shape!

I would leave it exactly as it is and use the current appearance as an incentive to save for a real gut job. You could throw yourself on the mercy of your friends and family and leave a donation jar in there for the project.

I would pick out the stick floor tile in shades of tan and white. Use a sand color grout and space them the way you would real tile floors. Paint the walls a creamy lighter coffee color. All trim white. Get a curved shower rod and hang just a tad lower to hide the pink shower tiles. Get rid of both towel rods and go with a more modern brushed nickel rod....and only one. Use a more modern shelf above the toilet in a nice white or mahogany color with some spa looking candles on it in shades of deep Browns to light tans. Upgrade the light to so wing a bit more modern. And, use paint specifically for sinks, etc....paint the toilet. Done. :-)

Oh, and ditch the shower curtain. Use a plain white basket weave curtain. Make it go to the floor.

I think the trim should be painted off white. It will not affect the rest of the house. It is unusual for there to be wood trim at the base of the tub. I would remove it and fill in any gap with caulking. The medicine cabinet looks colonial to me. Paint it the color you choose for the walls. It seems there is no helpful place for a towel rack. I like to reach the towel from the shower when it is time to dry off . I suggest a new towel bar for near the window and a robe hook in the tiny space available on the wall near the shower. The cabinets would be better with new knobs. Same with the light fixture. Here are some BM paint colors I like with your tub/shower.

Come Sail Away Early Morning Mist Early Sunset Healing Aloe Adobe Beige
I am not recommending that you necessarily paint these colors, just that they are a nice scheme with pink. It looks like your current towel colors are fine. Some art for over the toilet I am not sure if you should buy two mirrors if you intend to leave the old medicine chest. It looks like the mirror that would be on the left side might look awkward with the chest. I suggest that you size some mirrors you think you might like and then tape out the shape on your current mirror. See how you feel about the proportions.

I think you should move the shower rod forward about two inches and also lower just a tad.

If you are adamant about keeping the dark would trim then I think you will need a richer wall color. Something like this Dellwood Sand.

I like brown with pink.

The curtain is the worst thing. I think a plantation shutter would preserve privacy, and give the space a much cleaner feel, and give the option of letting in some natural light. However, then you get into the issue of painting the trim - I think the shutter should match the trim, and if you don't want to paint the trim, then you may have difficulty achieving a good match. a cheaper option would be a bamboo-type shade with multiple shade of wood, one of which could pick up the trim color. You can get these cheap at Home Depot.

Then I would put in a plain white terry cloth shower curtain and all matching plain white towels. And remove any decor that isn't attached. At this point, it is going to look a lot better for under $500. At this point I would consider a contemporary wallpaper. Why? Because a pattern is going to distract from the other stuff going on, but in a good way. Right now your details are adding interest in a bad way.

Here is an example of a bathroom with pink tones to it. Hope this helps!

Photos look like a combination of the seller's listing photos and the current situation, is that correct?

Find a great shower curtain and pick your new paint colors from it. In the meantime, you can prime the walls in white. replace the old curtain with inexpensive curtains that coordinate with the shower curtain or install a $20 miniblind. It looks like you are using an over-door towel rack, so look around to see where you can install another towel bar or move the over-toilet bar to a more usable location. You can use hand towel holders on the sink. The cultured marble countertop can be easily polished up with Gel Gloss from the home center.

Painting the wood trim, baseboards, vanity and doors will make the biggest change...moving it out of the 70's and I wouldn't worry about painting the trim and how it affects the rest of your home...it shouldn't, given it stands on its own (vs a hallway). I would remove the towel rack over the toilet and add a black and white print. White walls, vanity, wood trim, shower curtain & roman blinds, and towels. Mirror over each sink, new lighting and try to find some black and white vinyl tiles. Change towel racks and vanity knobs to the same metal as your new lighting.

@apple_pie_order The pictures are all the current situation. We've been living here for ten years and are finally doing some updates, so I took all the pictures yesterday. Thanks for the advice!

Definitely change out the faucets to something more modern. If you do 2 separate mirrors, make sure to do 2 separate light fixtures over each mirror. Definitely paint the walls, paint the vanity, change out the shower curtain and the window coverings.

Is it something you were thinking about doing yourself or do you have a budget for a contractor? The amount of money that you want to spend will play a big role in your overall results. tThere is a lot of things you can do on the cheap to update that room.

YOu can get a new toilet for $150 if need be -- I can't see any reason to live with a pink one if you don't have to. Just about any change you'd make later would involve a white toilet, so do it already! The tub you can hide with a curtain, but the toilet is just mocking you to your face every day! :)

@about coatings I'm planning on doing the work myself

do you like pink?

well I guess it depends on whether you have a few hundred dollars or a few thousand dollars. you can always cover for the shower / tub tile you could paint the tub you could paint the tile or cover it up with a vinyl backboard I wouldn't paint the trim in that room because it would look awkward if the rest of the house is just a stain board. I think it's all in the details. if you decide sometime down the road to paint the trim in the house so you can paint it all then. the money it would cost to do the painting of the trim you could probably buy a toilet. if you paint anything in that room I would consider painting the cabinet cuz that would make the biggest impact and it wouldn't look awkward. they do make paint that you can put over tile and that tub and even the toilet but it just has to be done the right way for it to last. last resort is always bathroom fitters lol

How do you make it last, never met anyone, including my professional job, have it last more than 2 years, unless they never use.

this is a two part epoxy that's for that. and you need to lightly sand the tub first.

A gallon of paint for the walls and ceiling and a gallon of paint for the trim can make a difference. As to the wood trim it was probably builder grade when the house was built so paint can only improve it.

Here are two bathrooms that have been minimally improved to great effect. Think about that gallon of paint to make a difference.

New ceiling light, silver metal trim accessories, note new mirror light, accent fun mirror and new granite counter top.......really pretty room for minimal out put.

Again new fabric on windows, but you can do shower curtain, new light fixture over mirror which is pretty simple, wow art work, which you could have a size that is taller than the medicine chest and just attatch medicine chest with Command Stick tabs that pull off when needed. Room looks great with minimal work and a trip to Home Goods for art work on walls.
