Pictures?

Wood is back, and beige is the next big thing (of course there are several big things going on, regarding trends)

It's not the colors per se that make you think "dated", but combination of materials that was so widely used(and sometimes overused) in years such and such-oak cabinets, tiles emulating limestone (more or less successfully) ,granite..in short look that's been known as Tuscany.

I must say that as far as Tuscany thing goes-the previous owners did a good job. The granite is quite attractive. The tiles-don't irritate, as many other similar tiles. It's just a big space, and there's a lot of everything-cabinets, granite, tiles..so it might seem more overwhelming. But in terms of color coordination -job well done. Overall, it's an attractive bathroom. Tons of storage, and I love that shower window.

It's almost never the colors themselves that make rooms "dated"..take a different tile, make it solid color and and pair it with a slightly different stain-and you might get a very contemporary look

You already are changing hardware and lights, which is the first thing to suggest-do you have particular ones in mind, to show us as to give us idea of your preferences?

Granted you can paint the cabinetry. I wouldn't, personally-the stain is nice, it's just a lot of it..and it's either lots of time if you do it yourselves, or quite a lot of money, and you get the look "I have updated my bathroom that was built in year X" most of the time, with this tile.

Also you'll have to baby the cabinets more.

Also because of the busier nature of the tile, you're more retricted in terms of colors.

You do have several options though, in case you're ok with work/money invested, and highly prefer painted cabinets. Warm white will work. Off-white. Warm taupe. Some shades of green. (I read your tile as green-beige on my screen)

That if you want to go lighter.

Or, you can go for a very dark color. It's a very big space, you can afford it. So if you have favorite dark color, someting like green that's almost black, you can do it too.

But the most effect, you'll get with accessories, I think. I'd go for touches of white and black, and weave in couple other colors that I love, and that are found in the tile/granite.

I might use a great rug on the floor. I find that real deal wool ones are the best in terms of being moisture resistant etc. But one can use inside/outside rug, etc.

The bigger the rug-the less of the tile you'll see, even though a runner might do, for function and interest.

Do you have a small space for art, something you love, but not too expensive/precious? Nothing makes a room as personal as art.

Knowing myself-I'd put a plant there. Or two. seems like this bathroom gets a great light. Plants add color, texture, and vibrancy to every space.

Towels, trays and vessels to hold all sorts of bathroom essentials-I wouldn't clutter too much, but would have fun choosing these.

They can be also be earthy, just made of different materials. Mother of pearl? Bone inlay?

I hesitate to give specific suggestions, I'll wait for you to understand what look you're trying to achieve (more subtle? more vibrant? more traditional? more whimsical), colors' preference, etc.

I hope other people join the thread, they might have different ideas, and helpful perspectives.

Even now, empty and with old hardware and lights-it's a good bathroom. Unless you are really bugged by all this tile and stone-I wouldn't change much at all. But I hear from you tile and stone stay anyway, which is ok too-as I've said, the PO did a nice job with it, making it relatively easy to work with.

Congratulations on your new house, it seems to be very well taken care of, and that bathroom seems to have everything. Just add your touches.

Nice big bathroom! Changing the lights will certainly update your look. The cabinets appear to be in good shape, so you're lucky there; I think the natural wood is better that painting them. About all that's left is dramatic color on the walls and a big, colorful rug.

Before doing anything that takes much time or money, I'd live there for at least a year or two. Other things may present themselves that need to be fixed, and the irritating things that will drive you nuts will become apparent as time goes on. It's a really great space, looks functional and not at all offensive. Take your time.

Change the lighting to nickel and paint cabinets black.

The biggest bang would be to have the cabinetry painted a creamy white.

Try to match up the light cream in the granite and floor.

I so disagree with creamy white cabinets: too bland. Dare to be different and your style will not be dated (at least not so soon). Try a dark paint on the walls. Stylish, dramatic and easy to change if you don't like it.

Painting the walls a bright white will freshen the space. Bring in powder blue, aqua, or seafoam towels, art and accents.

This wall color would also give a fresh look.

I know that dark blue cabinet are so popular that they are overdone, but in your bathroom, balancing the warm tans with navy might be nice, if you do decide to paint the cabinets.

I would avoid tan, beige, yellow, or orange for wall color.

Dark brown would make a huge difference on how the floor/shower.counters show in your bathroom.

In the floor I see clouds of gray and that's what I would put on the walls. B.M. Smoke Embers.

I found this article on how to gel stain oak.

Thank you for the overwhelming responses. I truly appreciate everybody’s time to provide guidance. I think the waiting a year is good advice. We really want it to be ”done” when we move in, but also remember that our current home wasn’t done overnight. The light fixtures will definitely have to go and the walls will be painted but I’ve been convinced to keep the cabinets, tile, and countertops as they are for now. The rug suggestion is also a great idea. Being bare may be throwing us off. Thanks again!

it's not that bad. painting that vanity isn't going to do all that much.

(and I've seen that type of bathroom decor stained darker?? nope. doesn't look good. either leave them or paint them.)

get new hardware, new lights, and a big throw rug for the middle of the floor.

changing the lights, and maybe framing those mirrors w/simple white frames will do a lot for the look.

save your money for the next year or so until you have the budget to completely redo it. tile, vanity, shower, the works.

You have a huge, wonderful space, and with the proper budget could be one hell of a master bath. start looking now for something you like. and you're going to need north of 30K to make it happen. minimum. (if you and friends can demo, you could prob save a few thousand from that)

start looking a pics of showers w/free standing tubs to get an idea of what you may like. as long as you don't have to move plumbing, you can keep down some of the costs.

I'd probably do a double vanity on one side, and the other side make a larger shower

so many great ideas you could do w/that space.

majority of these will not be had for 30K though.
