Bold wallpaper Bathroom update

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

Well. This one has been a long time coming, but we were kinda working on the whole house, so the update to the shared bathroom was a bit of a low priority.

I came to Houzz some months back shortly after buying this house and not loving the burgundy accent tile. Was advised to give up my dreams of chipping it off and trying some wallpaper instead...

AFTER

Since the window is on an interior wall, that will be getting the cabinet treatment to match the linen closet we put in so we’re not quite done yet.

And whoever thought that brown rug and plaid shower curtain was the way to go when it was for sale? I am so glad that you were able to see past that!
And thanks for keeping that great old tile for now - you really made it work!

Thanks, all. I absolutely love how it turned out. The house was a smelly wreck in a great neighborhood on a gorgeous corner lot so we looked past the issues. Moving in this week.

Alison, while I did not see your original post about the bathroom, you did an excellent job with the wallpaper choice. Kudos! I happen to like that burgundy accent tile and you’ve made it your own now. ~D

I LOVE IT! This is what a bathroom of that period should look like. Well done. And think of the thousands you saved by not ripping down that gorgeous old tile.

The wallpaper is wonderful, but doesn’t work very well with the tile colour or the very busy floor.
