I do not find this ugly so what is your style for the rest of your home. I would not bother with shelves you already find it hard to decorate the counter what would you do with shelves? Hang a fun piece of art above the toilet add some color with accessories in a color from the art be happy you have a counter . Maybe paint the cabinet it all is a bit dark on that wall

Thanks yes it’s just dark and not updated.

Really though, “be happy you have a counter”?

That is a great size powder room, but the gray walls are not working with the biscuit toilet

I'm a HUGE fan of banjo tops in bathrooms so I think this is a plus

Would you consider using some wallpaper or do you just want to limit your solution to paint?

Co you think you could provide a photo that includes the toilet, counter and your light fixture above so we could get a complete view of the situation?

How about a beautiful wallpaper?

Everything is clear or white. A single artificial orchid plant in purple would brighten things up. And some coordinating art over the toilet. I don't like to put anything on the toilet itself.

Giant orchid and a large, colorful print, just like suzyq53 showed.

What about a smaller decorative mirror. I don’t like mirrors you can see from the toilet. Then plant or something on the left side.

You’ve already got good storage: put art above the toilet. All horizontal surfaces don’t have to be filled.

BeverlyFLADeziner what is a banjo top? Also its just recessed lighting no fixture.

Banjo Vanity Top

Honestly, first thing I would swap if it's financially feasible would be the toilet to white so it ties in with the sink and opens up your options more. Then maybe trim out the mirror and I agree artwork above the toilet. If you like the gray tones, gray will work but it would help to lean toward the blue family to tie in the counter a little better and not compete.

If you select a wallpaper with both blue and beige the toilet can stay and work just fine.

More wallpaper options from Thibaut. Not cheap, but you don't need much wallpaper for this small room and it would have such a great impact.

A lighter paint on the wall would be my suggestion as the vanity and counter are dark. And a white toilet.

in a way, less sink/toilet concern if had dominant paint color...even with subtle look of the toilet sink colors

Thanks everyone!
