Since we see a door, please tell, or can we see what style/ colors are in that room?

Endless possibilities really. Budget wise, maybe skip wallpaper, as paint and accessories can make a big difference for less money and effort.

Look for inspiration pictures to narrow down a look/how it was put together. Doesn’t necessarily have to be bold to be interesting. Choosing your color scheme will also help and go from there.

Playing up the tub would be a great start.

Budget wise, there are all kinds of articles on Pinterest. Search

“updating a bathroom on a budget”. Addressing floor with vinyl tiles, or stencilling will also make a big difference.

As others have posted - it's pretty much a blank slate. I would suggest going kinda wild with it although can completely understand if my inspiration photo is a bit over the top, LOL!

Was your house built in the 1940's or thereabouts?

I'd spend the money on a better light and mirror, toilet holder, floor register. The last 2 may seem unimportant but these elements are registered in the periphery and help to enhance the overall feel of a bathroom. At least to me.

Some suggestions if cost is an issue--

Main Bathroom:

-If this is a main bathroom and makeup is applied in here, I would keep the walls white/cream

to avoid casting weird colors on skin. No matter what color skin is involved.

-Install a simple woven wooden/bamboo blind for the texture and feel that only wood can offer.

-Get some inexpensive wooden frames and find old horticultural or birding books, tear out a page and place in the frame. Instant art. Mount on the wall above the toilet, wrap the framed montage over onto the wall by the window.

- Work on finding a nice light and mirror.

-You can also mount a wall hook to hold a plant or two, or suspend a glass terrarium above the tub, high enough that no one hits their head climbing out of the tub.

Guest Bath:

-Go crazy with wall color. I painted my guest bath Poseidon by Behr, couldn't be happier.

I would lean toward blue or green. Blue and white are classic for bathrooms. I had a lovely light Aqua color in the guest bath for 15 years but I just needed a change.

Paint is the least expensive way to update a space.

-Same suggestions as above

This is my guest bathroom.

You have a blank slate, so easy to let your imagination run wild.

Have you looked at floor pops or adhesive floor tiles? I installed them for my MIL in her laundry room, shockingly easy and pretty inexpensive.

@Olychick im a little worried about paint chipping off the floor - love the inspo photos.

@everdebz that room is just offwhite. there is also a door to the kitchen behind the camera

@Maureen good call on wallpaper budget. I like the tub focus - the infinte options on color is kind of my problem.

@Norwood Architects I love the over the top!

@Anna (6B/7A in MD) 1910!

I had some similar ideas on fixtures. i dont know anyone with experience with the stick on flooring so I was a bit hesitant to go that route. great advice on colors with mirror usage.

Here are some pics of my recent budget update to the guest bath in my 1928 cottage - simple beadboard, goofy wallpaper with coordinating shower curtain, new sink / faucet, lights, and voila!
