Floor-to-ceiling yellow tile!

6 years ago

We’re buying a house and one of the bathrooms has tile on the floor, walls, and ceiling. We’d love to redo it completely at some point in the future, but how can we make it less of an eyesore in the meantime without investing a lot of money?

    How cute! Wonderful color to wake you up in the morning! Even the soap and toothbrush holders are in tact! Work with the green color from the tile to help cut the sunshine just a bit. Match linens to the green and find a shower curtain with the same green in it. Upgrade the ceiling fixture, remove the blinds and install frosted privacy film on the window. You may want to give the window trim a good coat of poly to help keep the water out. A new shower head with a handheld wand would help you with that issue.

    One Easy fix...a shower curtain that isn't yellow or white. Maybe a teal or another bold color that goes with yellow. It actually looks like a cute retro bath. Congrats on your new home.

    What a fun bathroom! Looks like the tile is in great shape. I think I would embrace it and get a fun shower curtain and enjoy the “sunshine”! These are all from Society6 (they have hundreds!).

    Add a plant and some color contrast in the shower curtain & rug. I have heard you can also paint bathroom tile like that but have never personally tried it. Might be an inexpensive DIY project until you can remodel it to your liking. I'd research the pros & cons first though.

    I think it's actually quite cute! There are worse ones out there with hideous color combos and weird trims. I assume this is an older home? What is your design preference?

    The tile looks to be in excellent shape. Some accessories will help and a fun shower curtain. Update the fixture if you wish though it seems to be accurate for the period. Add some fluffy towels in a color to break up the white. Maybe another small shelf similar in style the to one existing but tucked up in the angled area with a plant that drapes down. You could replace the vanity mirror but can you afford to lose the storage?

    #1 shower curtain or have white. I'm stuck with mine. I had window film. I now have window block that is obscure. It's a happy color.

    I like a gray rug. I had tried other colors.

    change your light bulb to something less yellow (3500-4000K)

    bring in blacks or grays for accent colors

    i like the shower curtain above

    (you could remove the tile from ceiling yourselves, and redo w/drywall. That will at least break up all that yellow)





    maybe remove some of the tile from the wall as well, and use a black cap rail tile piece around the top:


    or a gray cab piece around the edging



    oh, and the mini blind in the shower has to go

    I like yellow. Canvas art above toilet wipes easily. So the black bracket under the shelf - I'd spray it white to match. Then prop art there.

    Your wood floor nearby, and art -- are these bronze/brown leaves a muted-deep yellow?

    Vertically, ruffles seem more tailored to me, like a tux shirt... ??

    If matches the whites .... well, it adds texture for interest.

    Because green in the floor is basically neutral [?] -- maybe the buttons, etc... and another wood item in the room... or sepia brown...

    I think its beautiful. Looks fresh and clean. Yellow is a complimentary color to so many--it will be easy to decorate around. Lucky you!!!

  • 6 years ago

    Looks to be in great condition. And cute. If you have other projects, save your money and just get a cute bath may and shower curtain with mostly white background but bring in some gray and maybe another color. If budget has a little more room: new shower fixture and privacy film on window(though this is cheap). I wouldn’t want to deal with wet blinds.

    Oh, don’t gut it ever! It’s wonderful!

    I'd embrace the yellow, but change out the blinds to something more interesting... I went with thin bamboo for instance. Or go with light curtains. Do you need privacy? Frost that glass if so. I would also replace the shelf with something with a curve, possibly wood. Find a great shower curtain that works for you.

    Blue or teal will work with your tile.

    It's beautiful and probably has been for 60 years. Leave the tile please.

  • 6 years ago

    Yellow is my favorite color-I think it looks great!

  • 6 years ago

    I love this bathroom and would be thrilled to have that vintage look! It's so well-preserved and everything looks so bright and clean!


  • 6 years ago

    I would add a lot of blue.
