Half bath with floor to ceiling tile - help!

5 years ago

Any advice or suggestions on how to improve the look of floor to ceiling tile a half bath without tearing down drywall/ taking down tile? (We can’t get into that right now.)

    Personally, I would just leave it. Looks fine.

    Taking it out will be an expensive mess.

    Paint or paper the “fifth wall” (?)

    Personally I would add some color to the room with pretty towels. Your counter accessories are also kind of beige/taupe and you could add something interesting to the counter. There are loads of gorgeous bathroom accessories that are functional as well as beautiful.

    Why can't you add some artwork to one of the walls. If you don't want to drill the tile, there are pretty good hooks if you aren't hanging something heavy.

    I think it looks fine. You could paint the ceiling a color. I don't mind the tiles but that huge mirror is a turnoff to me - but taking that off might be as much of a pain as taking down tiles.

    put a tall vase w/stalks, or hang a plant from the ceiling in that corner



    decor items on the countertop, something better looking in that corner


    some pretty towels.

    you could try some type of pendant lighting



    You could also frame out the mirror so that it looks 'finished'. Maybe paint the vanity, get a diff color vanity top.



    Can't see anything else.

    Mirror Mate frames adhere to the existing mirror. But you need to check clearance from the faucet against the thickness and position of the frame. It would change the look a lot!


    Hardware on the vanity.


    And as mentioned more cheerful towels. Beth's idea of green and white is good.


    Plus a complete photo might help.

    I think that the tiles look fine. For the people that don’t like the mirror - why don’t you you like it ?

    Thanks everyone! This is the staged photo of the house we are closing on on Friday! (🎉) For those asking - I’ve just always disliked floor to ceiling tile bathrooms - I think they look like wet rooms/cruise ship style bathrooms where the shower is above the toilet. Lol

    I’m thinking maybe trying to take down the wall mirror and add a hanging plant. 🙂

    Thanks again!

    All that wall tile DOES give it a gas station restroom vibe but I can't help it: I kinda like it! I especially appreciate how the mirror jams into the corner to "continue" the tile. I hope it goes across the entire wall though!


    But I'm sure it looks different in person. Move in and take more photos.


    You can always get a big Mobil flying horse placard....red will brighten things up.

    I think having a smaller framed mirror will help. The mirror creates even more tile in the reflection.
