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

[NotYourHolidayDick]

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

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.

🤔 dd has a disco light bulb that thrice accursed DM gave her. It gives me a banging headache.
I'm now contemplating sticking it in the downstairs bog which is decorated in the height of 1970s chic

REALLY want to pop round for a wee in your gorgeous disco loo!

But you wouldn't want me to, because I think the colour your son chose is the best thing about your bathroom. I also hate your toilet seat and your tiles, and I'd change those before I changed the gorgeous colour he picked.

I know nothing... I'll get my coat...

It’s very bad. I would have to get it redecorated.

Wooden toilet seat would have to go too.

I think flamingo everywhere is the way to go - range incl toilet seat:

No need to restrict yourself to white. Flamingo bath ducks. Flamingo towels.

DS just came up and said Mummy what are you doing? I said I'm looking up flamingo toilet seats.

Flamingo

Is it Dulux Nordic Sky? It's a lovely blue but really does need to have all the attention and not have it taken away by beige tiles.

If you're definitely changing it all in a year, just pretend it didn't happen or style it out with the beach theme for that time. It's taken me a year to almost paint my kitchen diner.

It looks fine, if not ideal. End of the day, it’s just a bathroom. Looks functional. I’d not worry.

Going against the grain here but I would have a Roman blind that coordinated with the turquoise. Pale background but that colour print?

I could actually cry. I've just been back in there and it's changed colour again. It's now a horrible light blue. It'd called 'Nice' from B&Q, their own brand bathroom paint.

I can't flamingo it if it's that colour. It wasn't that colour during sunset. Oh ffs.

I’d paint it white. And get a white loo seat.

It's not the worst. Many years ago I remarked to a friend that the bathroom in her new house would be very nice once they got rid of 'that god-awful paint effect' only to find that she'd finished redecorating the room the day before...

I think a couple of shades lighter on the walls, a white toilet seat, white blind and some white tile paint it’d be a nice bathroom. You could do all that for £100, easy.

Ok two options as I see it as whatever blue was NEVER going to go with those tiles!

1. white toilet seat and white blind. Paint the tiles! (Special tile paint) or tile over them. The accessorise the fek put it with colour to compliment the blue (fish and flamingoes optional)
2. repaint it a couloir which doesn’t flash with god awful tiles. There is a 3! Say sod it, claim it wa alike it when u moved in and buy one of those toilet seats with razor blades in it as a focal point 🤣

God sorry not even been on wine and lost ability to type!

I am so having a disco-loo in my next house - renting ATM &, reasonable though he is, I doubt Tony The Landlord would tolerate such a thing I'm going to be buying a house based on how extravagantly I can customise the downstairs toilet

FWIW in my last house, where STBXH lives, we had a fish & shells plastic loo seat in the main bathroom - small DS loved it!

So what colour do I paint the walls then? I don't want boring.

I want bloody flamingoes now! So maybe forest Green!

Admittedly I'm Scandi, so you think my taste is off. But with that wall colour i would paint everything white (including tiles on walls) all towels dark blue and a green plant in the window.

No wooden toiletseats.

Perhaps it was a mistake letting your son choose the colour, but I like you are considering his feelings.

(Or just go bananas with previous suggestions) 😁

Bananas - could work

Omg, why don't I know you? My kinda person. That disco loo is fab, I just pitched it to dh, he just raised his eyebrows, maybe I'll have my very own disco loo soon .

I do have a disco bulb, just never thought of putting it in the bathroom

As for the upstairs bathroom, I really have no idea, just follow everyone else's nutty suggestions, it'll be great

I'd like to know if the collapsible is ladder is any good?

Misses the point entirely

I would paint all of the tile work white. Install a white toilet seat.

I’d buy really massive, minimalistic white with black ink sketch prints, and frame them in plain black frames, to cover as much of the blue as possible! (I’ve done this in a rental to cover up some fucking hideous wallpaper that the landlord wouldn’t get rid of)

One huge, plain vase in the middle of the window sill.

No other accessories! I hate to see accessorised bathrooms. The accessories are inevitably covered in damp, dirty dust.

It's not that bad!

I'd leave it and go for a beach theme.

Def don't paint the tiles. I've never seen anybody sucessfully paint tiles and it not look like a botch job.

Love your downstairs loo.

Paint is going. I've changed my mind. I can't bear it. It's like a greasy Chinese takeaway kitchen.

I want a beautiful matte coffee colour. Or chocolate. Really deep brown.

But due to the aforementioned ADHD that may change again by morning.

I really like it. I agree that it looks like sea and sand, so I would put deckchair stripes in there too.
More colour is the way to go.
