I love shower curtains, and that is where I would start here for the most impact. Then ROman shades from Two Pages for the window. Or cafe curtains if they need privacy. Or matchstick bamboo and cafe curtain (a la moi).

A big rug to cover a lot of floor (washable or indoor outdoor).

Hardware.

I think a lot can be done, but the starting point to me, is the pattern of the shower curtain. And that is almost like pciking out a painting for someone else! No idea of their style or color preferences.

Agree with Mtn.

I think just getting in there and living with it will help with choices. In my current bathroom, with a long vanity, I though I’d want two separate rugs (two sinks). After moving in, I realized I’d prefer one long runner instead.

It really is a blank slate, so many ways it could be styled. It looks well taken care of (and such a pretty view of trees!).

Congrats to them!

They should choose whatever color combinations they like, really. I would remove that little cabinet over the toilet since it looks like they have plenty of storage in the long cabinet and just add a framed poster or piece of art there. If they can't find a shower curtain they love, it is easy to make your own with a grommet maker from a sheet and then use a clear liner behind it. If I could do it, anyone can.

Ditto what others said re: shower curtain, rugs and accessories. I'd add replacing the lighting and add some greenery. I think adding cabinet hardware will make it look less builder grade.

I love these suggestions! Thank you! The big rug makes a world of difference.

@mtnrdredux_gw, where did you find the third curtain with the flowers? My stepdaughter really likes that one.

Anthropologie

You could of course, also pair that with the rug in the first image

AI changed the wall color and the cabinet body and top color sugnificantly . It is much nicer in the AI photos. I would paint first and then choose the rug/ curtain combo. c

Hire mtn. Her suggestions are perfect!

BTW, Caroline is right.

One reason you always have to doublecheck ChatGPT work is they change things sua sponte. For example, it made the tone of the floors, walls and counter more pleasing. Walls are not that hard to fix, but the rest is stayting, so this matters. Some of the tones could be due to the lighting/bulbs or photography/post production. I told ChatGPt to only change the elements specified, but it will not listen to me and each version it spits out makes the tones more pleasing.

It is something to be mindful of, as what may seem subtle can make all the difference in "neutral" schemes particularly. Be ready to try a few versions IRL.

Mtn has all the right ideas. Big rug is the key, I think. It's a very nice size bathroom that will look a lot better with a few inexpensive changes. I would probably also replace the b00b light with something else. Probably something semi flush. So many inexpensive options on line and at the big box stores.

I just have to laugh that chat only put knobs on some of the cabinets.
