I have paint left from doing my sons room. I have shown a pic of the wall to show the colours I have.

Also a pic of the toilet so you can see the room . It's not the best pic . Imagine it empty 🤣

So what can I do thats a bit different and a little mad . No dark colours.

I'd paint the walls that amazing yellow colour then out loads of black framed pictures all over it.

And a chandelier. We put a chandelier in our downstairs loo last year and i am now of the firm belief every toilet needs a chandelier. I'll go and take a pic....

Just be mindful yellow walls are linked with headaches.

I wanted a sunflower yellow wall when I was a kid!

You might not be in there long enough for it to matter, but worth mentioning it. It is a gorgeous colour!

It's a private group. I don't really like to join things like that.

I painted a bathroom bright yellow once, but it really didn't work. The white bath, sink and toilet reflected the colour and took on a grubby, discoloured appearance. I had to redo it a different colour - light teal.
Your son's bedroom wall is amazing!

Thank you. 😊 I don't think I really want one colour. I'm looking for something a bit different kind of mad

Have you thought about a wallpaper on one or all walls?

If you look at Houzz and type in Bathroom Wallpaper

Stacey Solomon used washi tape in one of 'sort your life out' make overs which could help you get a nice, sharp finish to the painted shapes.

Never heard of it. May be an idea. I will see if I can find some ideas

I quite like these two for a bathroom.
Or you could just go Jackson Pollock. 😂

You can't mess up a Jackson Pollock! 😂 😂 Google him. You'll see what I mean.

I know I have done it badly. But if it's done properly would it look stupid .

Not necessarily in orange and pink you could choose other bright colours

I’m a huge fan of a colourful wall, I’ve got the same kind of design as the first pic but yellow and blue triangles. I think it could look great!
Just go for it! Worst case situation and you hate it you can paint over it.

I was half thinking that worse case is I paint lt back to white. I want a different pattern though as I have done the first pic In my boys room
