Boring beige bathroom bad layout

last year

last modified: last year

This is the guest bath in my new condo in the city, I don't have the $ to replace the tile, or vanity, I could do the mirror, add wallpaper a rug, a hanging fixture but I have no idea what will make it look inviting and warm and styllish. I for sure would love ideas on wallpaper at least! I think the ceiling has to be done too to add warmth. I am stuck! Help!

I had a giant bathroom like this in loft conversions and it remind me of assisted living bathrooms Clinical, impersonal, and like someone is going to be wheeled in on a stretcher! Here's what I would do to keep the budget down and the work minimal:

1. Keep the mirror. Looks like it might have good storage. And good face lighting, which will be key if you go with a saturated color in here.

2. Find a fabric you love and have it made into a shower curtain. Plenty of people on Etsy can do this for you.

3. Find a coordinating paint color that goes with your curtain. Paint it on the walls and ceiling. (I totally agree with you, the ceiling needs to be done.)

4. Find a great ceiling light fixture in keeping with your shower curtain style and print. Bonus if it is has arms or reach.

5. Get a nice rug to keep on the floor by your mirror and shower. You can layer your bath mat over it.

6. Get a nice big piece of artwork to hang in the large space to the right of your door. And maybe another piece for over the toilet.

No sense in us guessing about your likes and dislikes. Instead, post us some inspiration pics of your style. Prints you like, colors you love, rooms that excite you - they don't even have to be bathrooms. We can translate it into a bathroom style. Don't worry about the beige floor or vanity. We can make it work with most anything. This should be fun!

Towels, a plant, art, a new shower curtain are all very easy ward to make change.

I personally would not wall paper, but I would buy an oversized canvas for the wall above the paper holder. greatbigcanvas.com has some great affordable pieces.

There's a lot of walls. Why not try wallpaper out in the room and see what works with the style of your home.

With those large walls I'd consider a towel rack that makes a statment.

You could install a medicine cabinet that extends from wall to wall.

Waht an odd space . Can you post a to scald floor plan I am thinking the pics are distoring the space somewhat . Yes you need to add your personality to the space , this is agueat bathroom do you mean attached to a guest bedroom or used as a pwder room and a guest bathroom? he mirrors are great tyey do the job. A nice ceiling ficture would be a good idea make sure it does not cast weird shadows . I would not choose wallpaper right now but some art on the walls maybe anew wall color and for sure a much nicer shower curtain. Where do those doors lead and for sure no towel bar there at all. I agree with Kendrah a bit but we eed a lot more info from you to really give advice I looked at your idea books I see a bit of an eclectic style so maybe wllpaper but it will need to be a big expense so wait until you know for sure what your style will be for this space .

Find a large piece of wall art that makes a statement. Add shower curtain, rugs, towels and wall paint that enhance it.

good avice already, just wondering about A shallow cabinet to the left of the door as you enter (not too tall so it sits under the light switches) could help break up the space and create a little interest. We had a vintage one in a former bathroom that held rolled ip white towels, I put a simple candle on the top for evening showers

100% agree on the custom shower curtain on Etsy, they can make one thet sits just above the floor and has more fullness when it’s spread across the length, weirdly it makes a bit difference in a bath

Coordinated wall paper, shower curtain. a cabinet for necessities, and space for a guest to put all of their things. Overhead light fixture that will with warm color lighting. I do not care for the type of lighting in the mirror, but some like it. Clinical? You bet. Every hospital and nursing home has this bathroom 😉
