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.

Grin

When I looked at the first picture, I thought hmm. Then the 2nd picture I thought it looked ok. But this is some type of chameleon paint and each picture looks different.

I have to say that you do seem very good at painting, it looks perfect btw.

I was going to say it isn't that offensive to live with for a year. You will get used to it. Just get some candles and then you can dim the lights at night whilst in the bath Grin

I am not sure what colour apart from a beige sort of thing is going to match up with those tiles. They are the problem. Not the walls.

The tiles are warm, walls are cold so they clash. Go for neutral on the walls! (Not dark brown!)

SecretNutellaFix · 01/08/2019 09:32

You need navy in there. Then you can pineapple or flamingo to your hearts content.

TheWitchwithNoName · 01/08/2019 09:36

I like it as it is, reminds me of a beach

MrsKittyFane1 · 01/08/2019 09:40

Sage is warmer if you like greens...

Totally feeling the beach theme

With crabs or lobsters

MrsKittyFane1 · 01/08/2019 09:51

Beige, oak and sage. (Not all bathrooms but you get the idea how the colours go)...

It's s lovely bathroom btw.

victoria0132 · 01/08/2019 09:54

What colour walls would go with beige tiles? Apart from white? 🤔

Shakirawannabe · 01/08/2019 09:56

If you don't want a pull cord get a censored light bulb. God send in our house and you never have to nag about turning of the bathroom light again Wink

"Little Tikes blue"

One of Farrow & Ball's, perchance?

llangennith · 01/08/2019 11:11

Aren't wooden toilet seats a bit last century?

CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt · 01/08/2019 11:18

They aren't extinct you divvy.

I'm crying OP hahahahah

OoohOnly90CaloriesIllhave10 · 01/08/2019 11:43

Following. I have a bathroom to decorate so I need to learn from your mistakes.

I really want a sea shell toilet seat now though!!

Ijustwanttoretire · 01/08/2019 11:50

I think you need to do something with the tiles, how about finding some transfers of a similar colour to the walls and randomly put them on a few tiles, to kind of tie the top and bottom together, at the moment it is a stark line - and white accessories - particularly a blind, or how about a white blind with fake teal and white 'curtains' - again tying stuff together...

Ilovefluffysheep · 01/08/2019 12:01

What about tile vinyl stickers? Cheap on Ebay/Amazon and can go for whatever colour or design you like.

Dowser · 01/08/2019 12:14

I spray painted the loo seat silver as it was a nice solid one and added a silver blind
My walls are a pale grey though

DailyMailHater · 01/08/2019 12:18

Umm I am pretty sure that is the colour of my bathroom walls! We have white suite, white tiles, silver blind and shower curtain with chrome accessories.

I'd be tempted to style out the room like the sea floor. Maybe ceramic fish (or transfers) on the wall and find crab accessories (like toothbrush holders) to place on the tiles. Can you get waterweed looking plants?

Bluntness100 · 01/08/2019 13:05

The tiles are the issue here, I think the only way round it is to paint the walls white. Anything else will look shite and clash.

Doyoureallyneedtoask · 01/08/2019 13:09

Little Tikes blue"

*One of Farrow & Ball's, perchance?

F&B are subtle. I don’t think Little Tikes blue is as far from natural as you can get 😀

What about a beach hut theme OP? Striped wallpaper?

Are you definitely going to replace the bathroom next year? Or is it a plan that might end up being two years? If it’s temporary, have fun with it. If it’s not, repaint it!!!! And you are right, painted tiles look pretty shit. You may as well start putting stickers on them!
