Is the guest bathroom attached to a guest bedroom? What colors are in the adjacent rooms? The current shower curtain looks a bit dark, but you could really inject almost any color in here. Can you post pics of the rest of the bathroom? What kind of look or style are you going for in your home? With this bathroom, do you want it light and cheery, or soothing and sophisticated? Or something else?

No this is a separate bathroom with no windows. Adjacent rooms are light green and neutral. I’ve been trying to lighten up my whole house. currently redoing living room to light gray, white and wood Furniture. Had a bunch of brown and a more traditional look. For the bathroom am looking for a calming and spa like feel ? If that makes sense. Thanks !!

I'd probably do white shower curtain, white towels and bright, light, colorful art.

Hmmm. Ok, so... the sink, toilet, and tub are all white; the stone countertop looks like a yellowy tan and black (or is it dark brown?); the cabinet base is a medium brown wood; the tiles in the tub surround look like a golden caramel on top with a dark brown below; and the floor is dark brown I think. The color you painted the walls looks different in both pictures - is it a warm beige or a light gold/caramel? Hard to tell.

You say you want a calming spa look, which would very often involve blues or blue-greens, as well as lots of white. But, to me, it seems a bit of a challenge to get a spa look with the earthy colors you've got going on in there already. I don't think blues would work in here, and in my opinion white would just be boring and too cool for all these warm colors. I guess the right tones of beige for towels, shower curtain, and rug could work, but I also think you need a pop of color and I'm wondering if you would like to incorporate some green in there, or a navy blue. Maybe even a gold but in a brighter version of the same tone.

I hope some pros weigh in, like @Flo Mangan - she really knows her stuff. I'm not a pro, so trying to get a spa look with the colors you have is stumping me!

Thriftyboho- thanks for the ideas ! I think you’re right. Would be hard to get that spa like feel with all the brown. The vanity top is a brown and the walls are a warm beige. But maybe adding some white, blues and greens would lighten it up ? think I may just check put some home stores this weekend to get ideas.

Have you searched photos here on Houzz? I just took a look. Brown and spa-like aren't impossible, just not the first colors I would think of - but there are quite a few images here of spa-like brown and beige bathrooms.

Here's a pretty one with towels in a lovely caramel color, and the walls look peachy to me:

Here's one with cream, light brown and touch of blue:

Here's one with a countertop similar to yours - they emphasized warm beige and a creamy light brown, and added a dramatic mirror:

Also, have you thought about getting a clear shower curtain? Or one that is semi-translucent (kind of a frosted look)? Or were you planning on making one rather than buying?

Thanks!! Love the ideas. Was actually doing some searches last night and was thinking of removing the silver towel bar and putting in 2 wood floating shelves with similar color to vanity. Then could put some decor on there. Was thinking mini plants to add green and some white towels ?could move the towel rack to next to shower. Looking at above photos now I’m wondering If I should do gold/beiges. And yea going to get a new shower curtain. I don’t love my tiling in there as it’s kinda modern so not sure I want to do clear. Either white or the golds above look nice?

I've been thinking about it, too. Try finding towels and a curtain in the same or similar tone that you painted the walls. I think a monochromatic look is more soothing and spa-like. You already have white toilet, sink, and tub. You can add more white with a faux floral arrangement of white flowers. I like your idea for floating shelves where towel bar is (you could put extra towels on it, too). Then a piece of art with white matting and a dark chocolate brown frame.

PS - just looked at your pictures again and I think the towels and decor you already have are fine - at least in the pictures, they appear to match the walls. All you need is a lighter shower curtain in same tone as walls and towels, and a more impactful piece of art, slightly larger. And try white buds/flowers idea. I still like your idea of shelves over the toilet.

What about something like this for the shower curtain? You could then get towels/rug in the aqua color. I would move the towel bar to the wall across from the toilet (if possible). Put some art behind the toilet. This shower curtain is available online from Kohl’s and Bed Bath and Beyond.

ok so far I changed the curtain and got a beige rug and flower. think it looks better already! Need to have someone do the shelves and remove the towel bar. Thought the towel holder was screwed in but it’s not.

Oh, good! Is the new shower curtain beige as well?

Yes got a beige curtain. Think it works !

Ahh, very pretty and spa-like! Love the orchids and rug, too! Room will look great with the floating shelves you want to put up. Excellent!

Thanks for all the help!!

Little bug- it’s also my 2 year olds bathroom so his stuff is there. I hide when guests come. Also once I have shelves can store some stuff up there too.

Have you considered adding plants into your bathroom?
