To ask you to look at this pic of my new bathroom and tell me why I hate it!

[Canyoutellwhoiamyet]

Name changed as outing.

We have saved so hard for this new bathroom. We have reconfigured it and had everything new. Stripped to bare brick.

I really don't like it :-(

We still want to put a shelf up behind the toilet with some nice things on, and a towel storer where 3 towels will be rolled up at once in there.

Please be honest. Be as brutal as needed. I want to change the paint I think but no idea what to. We need to get a blind. What else can I do to make this the dream bathroom I envisaged

It's a gorgeous blank canvas, just the fun bits to do now.

I bet most of us would swap with you in an instant. Me first.

You need to move into it. Towels/something pretty on the walls/nice blind. It will warm up once it isn’t so soulless!

I would tile it. It needsd a design/colour.

Particularly tile the floor and one wall.

White paint looks so much better.

I would add a white wooden Venetian blind at the window. Maybe a white duckboard on the floor. Accessories in grey and dark wood. Then maybe some plants or art.

Please don’t do the coordinated “pops of colour”

As others have said, wall colour is to magnolia-y
I would paint it a strong blue- I love denim drift by dulux, it was their colour of the year last year.

I would go for a soft sage green paint or a soft turquoise if you wanted something a bit brighter
Plants, and maybe some shelves for clutter unless you want the minimalist look
I think it just looks a bit one colour and empty ah the moment
A nice wooden bath tray with a candle and some lovely smellies on it would look nice too

Agree that strong colour on the walls would look lovely particularlynwith you mirror light. Use that app to take a look. I personally don’t like plants in bathrooms but am clearly in the minority on that in this thread !

It's gloriously clean, clear and uncluttered and light and airy - I love it.

I wish I could get my bathroom done for £5k.

Once your towels are there, a bath at and a picture, it will feel your own and have splashes of colour.

A nice tall humidity loving plant would be cool between the bath and basin

Your bathroom furniture is lovely, but the pieces each look isolated - there is nothing pulling them all together. Personally I would have fully tiled the walls, and maybe used contrasting border tiles all round. I think the very dark floor doesn't help - perhaps use a lighter vinyl with a border or edge motif toning with any border tiles used, then a blind in a similar tone?

I love it apart from the floor, so I'd have bath mats down to break it up.

What was the reason for no tiles upstairs?

Tiles are usual aren't they?

Looks nice. A nice little bath matt will brighten it up, maybe art work and a few green plants.

Because you will never get back the amount of time you spent at work for this?

The bath is in the wrong place

It needs a splash of colour. Can you change the tiles near the sink for bright ones or put colorful artwork on the wall?

I’d kills for that
So clean clean clean

Just fine our bathroom too! I love yours with the walls painted white. I don’t think a Roman blind would be a good idea in a damp room such as a bathroom but think a Venusian blind or shutters would be good. I live your bath and loo. I personally love mustard as an accent colour for towels/bath mat etc and have gone for Scion Mr Fox for mine. Will have a look for a pic as ours is white/grey too.

It's massive. I love it. I'd paint the walls a dark colour.

Ok- it looks absolutely fantastic, but it's the colour of the walls that's not right. Too warm - is fighting with the warmth of the floor tone and is making your tiles look a little olive in tone. I would be really really brave and paint it a dark colour - like F&B Moles Breath. I would then put up shelves, a large print of some sort and a blind at the window.

Actually not Mr Fox but Mr Hedgehog!

I think the cream of the walls and the grey of the tiles doesn't go. I'd go for a dark, bold colour on the walls but it needs to be the right tone for the tiles.

Try again

I like it and please ignore people saying you need to move the bath /sink whatever. The fittings aren’t the issue they are really nice.

As other people have said, you need some blnds, mats and accessories to break up the bathroom. Will make a big difference

Not all tiled does look a bit unusal but what about wallpaper to fill the gaps? I disliked my new kitchen with the bare walls until I got some fancy looking wallpaper and it made a big difference

@aliceabsolum

@ontheboardwalk could I wallpaper that bit in a bathroom? Or would the moisture ruin it, bearing in mind I have 2 kids under the age of 3 and stupidly didn't tile the whole thing
