70s bathroom remodel

2 years ago

Need suggestions for wall and cabinet paint color that will work with the existing beige wall tile and almond tub. We are considering covering floor tile with LVP and will add a shower curtain.

    The floor and walls look good together. The tub looks off. i would get it glazed white to match the toilet.

    I would buy a new vanity with the money rather than covering the floor.

    For paint, I would match that large middle square of the floor tile.

    I also wouldn’t cover the tile. It’s not going to give you the look you want so you’re better off spending the money elsewhere or saving it and making this bathroom the best it can be. Best advice I’ve read about renovating is if you can’t change it embrace it (I.e. you can’t change that it’s 70s bathroom right now so don’t throw away money on a 2024 floor bc everything else will still scream 1974) Since you will use a shower curtain I also wouldn’t change tub color unless you are bothered by it. For the vanity id take that dark color from the tile. If you can’t find a wall color you like and are trying to stay neutral then I’ve used Behr Toasted Marshmallow in at least 5 homes and never been unhappy for a creamy warm color.

    I like the floor with the wall tile. The tub color is a bad match, but the good news is that positioning the shower bar so the curtain just touches the floor will disguise the tub color--it's closed most of the time anyway, right?

    If you aren’t doing a total gut job, embrace what you have, as others have said. And personally, I actually wouldn’t change it all anyway. I like the floor and the wall tile. The tub is a question, but glazing it may be an option. Are those vertical blinds in good shape? Do you like them? If not, consider changing.

    Thanks for the suggestions…we arent too fond of the tub color either which is why we plan to use shower curtain to hide most of it but may look into option of glaze/refinishing tub. As for tile i suppose we could make it work and focus more on updating fixtures/vanity and painting walls.

    Can you post a better shot of the whole vanity and sink area?

    Appreciate all of the feedback! i have decided to work with the current floors and i ended up DIYing the tub and sink with tub and tile paint which actually turned our much better than i had expected. I am also painting vanity cabinet SW urban bronze - hoping this will help take some of the focus off the floor tile. Attaching picture of how it looks so far (still have to caulk around tub and put another coat on cabinet doors/drawers). Also planning to paint walls above tile but haven’t decided on paint color for sure - considering SW accessible beige with alabaster white trim. I have door pulls and knobs picked out (champagne bronze color) and also ordered a new vanity light fixture (pictures below). Still looking for faucets and shower curtain that will help pull it all together. Any suggestions?

    This direction would be fun and different.

    @eld6161 - as far as tile color the 1st photo was taken during day with more natural light. Tiles are a creamy color but not as yellow as they appear in the second picture
