    Ideas for what? Gut? Refresh? Just paint? New floor tile? Help us help you.

    If youre redoing it on a tight budget then paint is your friend - I’d paint every surface in that bath, frame the mirror, replace the sink faucet and the light fixture. I’d also spring for a custom shower curtain on Etsy (but short shower curtains are a total personal pet peeve of mine)

    Paint the wood wall for sure. Do a different color on sheetrock upper wall. Paint or replace cabinet. It is small so wouldn’t be a lot. Or change faucet and hardware to update. Get a new mirror. You could paint the floor tiles or just get new rugs to pull your eye away from it. A new curtain would dress it all up. And a new light would change the feel.

    We are just buying it, tight budget starting off for sure, I thinking redo the hole thing.. looking for color and decorative ideas..

    I was thinking paint the cabinet a darker color, new mirror, hardware.. new floor- I hate that..

    Just looking to see ideas of Colors schemes.. grey floor in the next room, it’s a guest bathroom

    It’s a White Jacuzzi tub..
    Any ideas for pictures on the wall. I want it to be welcoming

    I agree that paint can go a very long way (or paint wooden portion of wall and wallpaper above). Would even consider painting/stenciling the floor if you’re handy. If in the budget I would do a new vanity with left offset sink (would move the vanity a little further from the tub given that there appears to be ample room on the opposite side of the vanity). New mirror. It will look great.

    Here’s a link to a gorgeous offset vanity. https://www.signaturehardware.com/48-radke-mahogany-vanity-for-left-offset-rectangular-undermount-sink-hunter-green-2.html

    Since it is a small bathroom, I suggest you pick light and bright color for your wall that reflect light to create the appearance of a larger space. Gray ceramic tile for the flooring would be great too.

    It sounds like the floor is the thing you hate. Look at cut-to-fit nonskid bathroom carpet. It can be washed in the washing machine. Unlike vinyl flooring, it can go right over the bumps and dips in the tile floor. It makes a convenient, inexpensive change.

    I'd be concerned about the bath lighting- make sure it (or the new fixture) is approved for over-tub installation in a wet area.

    On a tight budget:

    Paint the wood white. Choose a wall color to your liking.

    Replace the floor. If you like gray, and I do, put in a gray floor.

    Vanities are not that expensive, I would replace that too, if it goes within your budget.

    No need to do a gut job.

    When we renovated our Florida home, we were able to tile over the existing tile. Explore what can work and is easiest and least expensive.

    How are all the other rooms and in the house?

    I’m sure I will be looking for ideas, but I’d figure I’d start one room at a time… seeing this is The ugliest Room. I thought I’d start there.

    Check out bathrooms on Houzz. Start by saving all the pictures that appeal to you. Then narrow down by choosing about 10 favorites. Why do those especially appeal to you? Color? Tile? Style? That will help you to get a start.

    I presume you're on a tight budget so here are my illustrated suggestions.

    Paint the wainscoting white with the walls charcoal, that will complement your existing floor tiles. If you can afford to change the vanity for an updated look, you can find nice ones at a good price as well as vanity faucets.To complete the look, a white framed mirror and plain white shower curtain.

    We don't know what the rest of your house looks like but the bathrooms in your Ideabook seem to show a preference for a white, marble, clean and classic look. It looks like you have white tile in the shower, if so, open up the curtain and make the room feel larger (more on that below.) Paint out the walls and ceilings in white. The gray in your floor can relate to the adjacent room. Paint the vanity or if the budget allows, replace it with a wider one to add storage and counter space. Consider a marble look counter top with gray veining. Here is a classic look with terra cotta floor.


    Mirrors can get expensive, you don't have to get a vanity mirror per se. Look for one on sale and paint the frame if necessary.


    Get a curved double curtain rod, hang it as close to the ceiling as you can. The curved rod will make it roomier in the shower. Fit a clear, 72" shower curtain on the inside to be drawn during showers and long, regular drapes on the outside that stay in place. They don't have to be fancy or expensive.

    Replace the mirror and paint the wood section.

    Sage green walls look much different with white wood -- this type with soft green walls, asking cause floors could be grey - Grey slate type?

    Painting wood and drywall white, the textured/ look of the bottom wood still is rustic.

    I think ceiling of wood makes the same color on all walls good.

    Posting idea if you want to wait on doing floors -- can't tell but maybe this would be good blend with current floor.

    Can't have green and rosy floor; as opposites on the wheel, they're very noticeable together. So if you don't like the floor's rosy, then no green. I'd do all the walls white, not grey, etc...

    but show us the nearby grey floor....?

    Your wood ceiling is wonderful 5th wall they call it....

    added frame could repeat warm wood of ceiling.

    Something about vanity could be simpler, less arches, and more rustic... is the rest of the house rustic with wood?

    Maybe this goes with your ceiling light and plain mirror. They say this is traditional and modern too...
