    I would embrace the yellow...

    Replace the shelves with a cabinet to look more orderly

    Place a bathtub corner chrome caddy for all your products

    Paint the vanity white - chrome pulls

    Paint the walls a soft yellow

    Install a waffle weave white shower curtain

    White towels

    White & yellow washable mat

    is it yellow or TAN? White will make the tub enclosure and floor look dingy/dirty.

    I would choose a color and paint the walls AND the vanity and door and trim all the same color.

    A pale blue compliments tan/beige. use your navy as an accent. SW Silent Ripple

    I saw the tub colour as yellow, something like what they use to call Harvest Gold. It it's tan let me know because the yellow might not work. Take a picture with a good light so we can see the colour.

    That does.sound good. The shower is more a brown tan :( would you still do yellow? Also does the shower color and the toilet/sink majorly clash?

    Next to a white towel

    I think the white toilet looks pretty foreign in this space. I would replace the white toilet with a Mexican Sand ELONGATED toilet for your space.


    When you have small spaces it's important to SIMPLIFY everything.




    I would select a new medicine cabinet that extends across the full wall. You need the storage space.

    I'd contrast the Mexican Sand color with charcoal gray

    I'd add a full height shower curtain to make the space seem larger

    Looks more like a yellow than beige on my monitor.

    Matte or Eggshell for the walls, same colour for the trim in Satin or Semi-Gloss.

    White bath towels or if you want a pop of colour, go for navy.

    Not yellow. Mexican Sand was a popular color in the 70s from Kohler.

    Add black and ivory accessories to complement the fixtures. Paint the walls a creamy ivory and use black hardware.

    Here is an update! Could I use some peel and stick wallpaper behind the cabinet and on the side?

    Yes, of course you can use wallpaper didn't suggest any since you had mentioned "low budget". I'll look into it and see where would be the best place to install wallpaper.

  • last year

    Just behind the sink and to the side maybe? These are from my friend and should.cover that small area.

    I see you've already painted put you seem to have a small bathroom I'd be tempted to do more for more impact but cannot see the wall opposite the vanity.

    Here are a few peel & stick from Amazon.

    This is the wall. Just plain with a towel bar

    Your bathroom is quite small, I would consider wallpaper on all walls (basically 3 walls). Do you have good ventilation?


  • last year

    Not really good ventillation, i wonder if the paper will stick ha!. This is more of a zero budget use what you have while saving and having architects draw up plans lol. Its already a ton better using a blueish grey. I haven't painted the walls. I will bleach the tile and grout tomorrow, put fresh linens, and the walpaper to see. I can always unfeeling it. My friend gave it to me.

    If you don't have good ventilation, don't install wallpaper. Clean the tiles and grout, it will make a big difference. You can also use grout waterproof stain markers for the grout available in several colours. I suggest you pick one of the colours in the tile so that the grout will blend in not stand out.

    White bath towels will work nicely in the neutral scheme with a fresh white waffle weave shower curtain. All available at good prices on Amazon.




  • last year

    Here is what i have for now. Budget $0 lol thank you for all the ideas!

  • last year

    Cabinet looks good with everything else. Get yourself a really nice shower curtain bar and shower curtain in gray, tan, white small pattern since shower curtain will take up more visual space than the stick-on wallpaper.

    Change your shower curtain and get a wood or other colored seat for your toilet. Peel and stick wallpaper over the sink is a really bad idea. It will look good for 5 minutes after you apply it, if you do an excellent job of applying it. After a month? Not so much.


    The wallpaper is not a good match for your room, at least on my screen. If you're not good at color, get some advice from a friend or relative who is.


    I would avoid white in that bathroom and play up the earthy colors.

  • last year

    You move fast! I have the same bathroom layout but with only a 24" vanity. The shower and tub color does not matter because most of the time the curtain is closed. I don't like the wallpaper you added at all. :( . It adds nothing to the room and truly looks like you got some extra scraps that aren't meant to be there.


    I *love* the color drenched blue pic that you posted. While I realize there are many things different about your space - looks, natural light, mirrors, and lighting. I'd still love to see you paint the walls and vanity in that color. Ceiling too if you can swing it.


    I too have zero ventilation in my bathroom. It's in a condo with no exterior exhaust. I'm considering putting in a console sink because the current vanity is warping and paint peeling from humidity.
