Comes a point where you just admit you hate a bath, save your money for a redo of all the tile. Or the entire bath if you don't use the tub and the shower is tiny.

No amount of rugs, towels will make you like it. : ) or really disguise it.

No, to wood over the tile in the tub area, and the granite isn't helping the tile, either.

@JAN MOYER I totally agree and thought the whole thing was great 18 years ago when we built it but now I think the only redeeming thing in the room is the pretty marble on the countertops and the natural wood cabinets (and the view from the windows overlooking our beautiful Steamboat Springs valley). Do you have a recommendation for tile that would go nicely with the counters and wood?

In the short run am just looking for something to enhance the space inexpensively while we build another home (rental) and my husband doesn't have time (or interest) to help with a tile/remodel project (he's a GC). He'll get there eventually.

In the meantime, I realized last night that the towel rack is the focal point of the room right now as we walk in and we can move the towels to hang behind the door and do a pretty plant next to the tub.

Also, I've seen ErinnV do sheer gauze curtains in bathrooms really well. I think something needs to soften this space whether it's a rug or two, a plant, possibly a bath bar across the tub to break up the large white mass, and maybe a natural linen sheer curtain between the tub and window.

And with possibly just peel and stick tile over the dark insets (obviously in a more matching color)

It's fine, as is. It's a whole piece design. But if you want something else, it needs a personality transplant from wild wild west to city glamor. De-rusticfy it. Get rid of the cow pic and all the barely finished looking stuff, including the knotty wood. Paint the walls a deep chocolate found in the tile, get better shinier metal lighting, and change the knobs and pulls to a gold. Eliminate everything you loved about it, but the tile.

You'd be better off just keeping it as is. That's a lot of people's dream bath. Still.

I can appreciate having tile that you’re tired of - I think calming down the contrasts is a good approach, the towels that are the wall color work well , I think a simple sisal mat/rug would help (and remove the light colored bath mats) personally I would do not pattern but that’s me. I would just center it and not try to have it cover every piece of tile (the ones in the photos seem too big to me) - or maybe have sisal mats in front of each vanity and the shower? I’d have to eyeball that (def not a pro)

Normally I would not paint tile but in this case I would paint the wall tile around the tub the wall color (matte finish), remove the small stool and put a large loose palm plant where you show it above -

overall I would want to calm/simplify the room and would want to be careful about adding lots of odds and ends to distract -

Given you like Industrial, Scandi and Mountain Modern (best suited for your home and more achievable)…they all have a paired down look and adding lots of distractions will create the opposite feel.

Not wanting major changes, consider the biggest negative influence which is the tub/wall tile. Decide what is feasible and affordable and be sure all changes are complementary, ideally enclosing the tub with treated wood stained the same as vanities or paint, and replace wall tile or also paint.

I’d update/coordinate the hardware, lighting and mirrors, as these will have a big impact. Can’t really tell what your wall color is; suggest a soft, earthy neutral.

Consider a towel stand under window and light towels that tie your color scheme together and a perhaps a botanical print instead of what you have.

IMO there are too many random heights in this room.

I would order new mirrors that match the height of the doorways in the room.

Don't frame the mirrors. This room needs to be made more simple, less complicated.

I'd also select new strip light fixtures. The ones you have are too busy in appearance.

Maybe taking a color from the slate would help the room.

I don’t time to read everyone’s comments. You still have an amazing bathroom, and other than the choice of design around the tub, this bathroom could have been installed yesterday.

Short of a complete redo, I would see if just the tile around the tub could be removed or perhaps painted over to match a creamier wall color.

Have you looked at Marmoleum tile? It has different application processes and it might solve some of the issues.

As to your email to me...yes, you can lay it over existing floor. Find a flooring store that carries Marmoleum and discuss what you need. Beside the floor, inquire about covering the spa bath. (what were we thinking in the 80's and 90's? (Just cleaning a spa tub took about two days...saying from experience). Those and the hot tubs which could accommodate all your friends! YUCK.

Thanks for everyone's input here. Another question for anyone who has dealt with two differently sized single vanities in a bathroom and wants to do framed mirrors, do you have to go custom or is there a source for something like this?

It seems like you wouldn't make the sizes of the mirrors over each vanity match each other but rather try to do the scale correct for each vanity putting the mirrors at around 3/4 to within of a few inches of the width of the vanity, I think. If custom is needed, I may have to just get custom frames to go over the existing mirrors for cost savings, but I just love the look of all the floating mirrors over vanities out there these days.

Also, I'm struggling with all the vanity lights with white glass out there against cream walls. Is anyone else? I think alabaster looks dated but I'm having a hard finding an off-white, somewhat modern matte glass. The white glass just seems cheap and makes the bathroom look less cohesive. Thoughts?
