Is there a way to make this bathroom nice?!

Hi all,
I have absolutely no ideas how to make my bathroom look better without redoing it completely, which isn't possible

We have to keep the tiles and suite, the only things we can change are the wall colour and flooring.

It's an awkward beige suite, which although isn't that offensive, is hard to match anything with! The tiles have pink lilies on. Any suggestions re flooring, wall colour, even toilet seat colour would be greatly appreciated!

Slate floor? Darker dusky pink blind and matching towels/ bath mat?

I was going to say the same as Bamboo. M&S did have a lovely dusky pink bathroom accessory range.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think a slate floor might look a bit odd with the colours in there, but I have thought of embracing the pink! I thought maybe dusky pink walls, a whitewashed wood floor, a pretty cream/pink blind and then some shabby chic accessories. What do you think?

I know exactly which m&s set you mean, I bought the face cloth so I could compare it. Then I got gifted a set of lovely cream towels so I didn't get the pink.!

I'd be tempted to find a colour that compliments the pink, like an apple green for accessories. Then paint the walls white and change the floor to a clean and simple lino.
So white walls, floor and blinds and a soft green bath mat, bin, towels.

You have two choices embrace the pink, or go with apple. Avoid white as it will make the suite look dirty. Try more of a darker cream. Maybe a wooden effect floor? I would also go with lots of quirky accessories that grab the attention.

My original thoughts when we moved in were to go with white, however let me show you the white toilet seat I bought...the beige looks awful with it Sad so I think I'm going to avoid white. Beige is such an awkward suite.

I think we are on the same wavelength Sally, the choices are very limited!

Possibly not the look I was hoping for Sally Grin

I like the idea of embracing the pink, shabby chic look!

Tbh I would probably save up and redo it.
Do you rent or own?
