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.

FLAMINGOS

rededucator · 02/08/2019 21:08

I LOVE it!

CorBlimeyGovenor · 02/08/2019 21:34

Still think that you should have stuck to the local swimming pool theme!

hotsouple · 02/08/2019 22:19

Well ok I kinda like it now. Still need answers about whether flamingos are a common british bathroom theme.

PenguinsRabbits · 02/08/2019 22:20

Every bathroom in the UK has at least one flamingo in - its the law here, recently brought in by Boris in an effort to boost the economy in case of no deal.

KnitFastDieWarm · 02/08/2019 22:28

I think it’s bloody brilliant Grin
goes off to research plastic flamingo ornaments on eBay

Allli · 02/08/2019 22:29

At some point you will probably want the cream tiles to be white to match the bathroom suite. I agree with suggestions about a tile paint. If you can be bothered doing it now it would look sharp and fresh against the teal. I agree about a white loo seat. If you can’t be bothered painting/changing stuff just now go be beachy. It does look like a beach with those colours!
It would be a shame if your chuffed son was upset if you changed his work of art any time soon, so I’d leave it a while, even if I hated it, for his sake. Then flamingo the living daylights out of it!!

MyOtherProfile · 02/08/2019 22:36

You've totally rescued it! It's brilliant!

Neilsfavouritechilli · 02/08/2019 22:39

Is paint the tiles white the new cancel the cheque? It ain't happening people.

Neilsfavouritechilli · 02/08/2019 22:40

No offence meant to the previous poster.

could you get a lighter shade of turquoise and secretly paint it (bet they wouldn't even notice). It is screaming for a light paint colour that blends with the tiles (eg. white, even bloody magnolia!!) If not I like @InsomniacDormouse's suggestion and @Frouby's beach hut the feck out of it. Even throw in a bamboo blind!

latexsalesman · 03/08/2019 02:11

I definitely think flamingo towels and bath mat are needed. Not because I want you to buy tat Grin There's still just too much teal. But I love the theme.

ClaraMumsnet · 03/08/2019 02:15

I think I have the same tiles as you! This has inspired me to get rid of the boring neutral colour and add flamingos. It looks great, OP!

Flamingo the hell out of it! Go kitschy! I love the sound of your disco loo & singing 'Disco Inferno' when you pee!

PatricksRum · 03/08/2019 03:49

Pm

NotYourHolidayDick · 03/08/2019 09:32

I've ordered 3 of these (all slightly different variations), and gold frames with a white mount.

I'm on the hunt for towels and a bath mat in hot pink now. Towel wise, other than my Christy towels which have lasted forever, I've struggled to find any better than Asda believe it or not! Any other suggestions?

Black and white prints will make it look less like lego room. Bold choice - embrace it! Because who needs to paint a room twice in one summer...

Bubblysqueak · 03/08/2019 10:01

I love it!!!

stormsurfer · 03/08/2019 10:35

Morrisons towels are good and so are M and Co. Tesco had some bright Teal ones on sale this week, but they might be gone now.

buttonmoonb4tea · 03/08/2019 15:45

I've searched high and low for this thread. Great work OP although I think a flamingo blind would have been great. I usually don't like teal but absolutely love this colour.

unicornsrule · 03/08/2019 23:26

Looks great especially with the flamingoes

mathanxiety · 04/08/2019 00:01

Looking very Miami now. Love what you did with the loo seat and the little bin and bath mat.

MrsKittyFane1 · 04/08/2019 08:34

I don't get where the flamingo theme came from! Sorry OP but they are awful - not in a 'fun, quirky' way either. The rest of the bathroom looks fine!

EdtheBear · 04/08/2019 08:51

That's a bit mean to say the flamingos are awful.
