I've fucked up my bathroom. Help me fuck it up more?

So it needed repainting. I stupidly let my son choose the colour. He is SO proud of himself and loves it. It looks the the changing rooms of our local shit council swimming pool.

It's absolutely fucking awful Grin

So. Do I add white blinds, wooden blinds to help soften it?

Or do I throw EVERYTHING into the fuckit bucket and get hot pink blinds and flamingo the fuck out of it?

P.s if you recognise the photo please don't out me.

I think you just give up and repaint it when he loses interest.

Change the loo seat. Other than that...urm....

It's not that bad but I'd add white blinds and loo seat. It's not perfect with the tiles but not the worst thing in the world.

HerRoyalNotness · 31/07/2019 20:21

I love the colour, but it would look better with white tiles. I would however life with it and really go for it on the accessories. I have a flamingo print in my bathroom in fact. I’ve also painted a bathroom hot pink in an old house, it had black and white tiles, i loved it.

IAskTooManyQuestions · 31/07/2019 20:21

I love the colour ! It's a little dark for a small room, can you add more white and mirrors ?

NotYourHolidayDick · 31/07/2019 20:24

It's not dark, it's really bright, it's so bright the sun coming through the window is stopping me take a photo Hmm

I'm not repainting. I've lost the will to live after those two coats.

The doors are solid oak and the 3 piece suite is white.

I'm taken aback by how much I agree with you, I also really don't like it (and I usually love turquoise/teal)!

I would be tempted to choose a limited selection of acceptable colours and ask your son to re-choose from them...
If re-painting is truly not an option, I'd choose neutral blinds (to go with the tiles) or white... if you added pink I think you'd hate it even more!

NotYourHolidayDick · 31/07/2019 20:25

Aren't white toilet seats awful? I thought wood was nicer 😂

It’s bad. But you will have to style it out for a bit, maybe with ironic flamingos...

NotYourHolidayDick · 31/07/2019 20:30

Dh and the other kids love it too.

I live with a bunch of savages.

I also have put up a new wall light! But missed the fact that I needed one with a pull cord as there's no switch on the wall. So I now have a beautiful new wall light that's permanently on. Like, forever.

I'm off to the shop for wine 🍷🍷🍷

The contrast between the tiles and the paint remind me of sand and blue sky. I'd be tempted to go kitsch with palm trees and sea shells. Hang a palm tree print over the end of the bath, shell loo seat etc.

Navy or green (sage) blinds to tone down walls

NotYourHolidayDick · 31/07/2019 20:47

Navy? GREEN? Are you having a giraffe?

I like the colour - i’d ho white blinds, accessories and definitely loo seat😀

MiniDoofa · 31/07/2019 20:54

*go

Imthevoice · 31/07/2019 20:56

White loo seat. Dark brown roman blind. Green plants and white towels. A graphic pic with white background on wall. Will look great!

InsertFunnyUsername · 31/07/2019 20:57

Its not too bad, id get everyone in the house a pair of goggles and armbands to go with the theme Grin maybe inflatable yellow ducks too...

onalongsabbatical · 31/07/2019 20:58

I don’t know why, but I found myself wondering what would happen if you added red. You know, full on colour madness. Kinda Mexican. Blood red. Hmmm? Grin

NotYourHolidayDick · 31/07/2019 20:58

It's looking better in the dark Grin

I prefer a wooden toilet seat to a white one, but blue clashes with the beige. I’d repaint

Frouby · 31/07/2019 21:01

I would style it out with a beach hut theme. Loads of beachy shells, mosaics, pretend liferings, little anchors everywhere and blue and white accessories along with the shell loo seat.

ShagMeRiggins · 31/07/2019 21:03

Flamingo the fuck out of it. Make it the funnest room in the house.

Soola · 31/07/2019 21:04

The teal is horrendous but I think you should go all out now and maybe get some palm leaf stencils and some gold leaf and go over it!

Purpleheadgirl · 31/07/2019 21:04

You can get some good tile paints so could paint all the tiles white. White toilet seat then turquoise, white or bright pink towels

NotYourHolidayDick · 31/07/2019 21:05

It can't be the funnest room in the house.

My downstairs toilet has glitter wallpaper and a disco bulb. Totally outing but I've given up caring. We all sing when we have disco wees in there Blush
