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

Scrap that, I was responding to the old photos without reading the entire thread. The update looks bloody great, well done!

It's gorgeous Op! The paint colour and shutter make such a difference. That first paint colour just wasn't right but it's hard to tell until you've finished a room sometimes.
So glad you're happy with it now.

Plants!

I think your bathroom is perfect. IMO it’s such a good idea to have a really plain classic design for the big budget house jobs like kitchens and bathrooms. We did our kitchen earlier this year - it’s a completely plain, traditional white shaker style with oak work surfaces. We’ve currently got grey walls with grey patterned blinds. It’s so calm and lovely. In a few years we can change the wall colour and blinds really easily to totally update the kitchen pretty cheaply. My friend went for a high impact high gloss navy kitchen with aubergine glass splash backs. It looks stunning now but I wonder if she’ll still love it in 5 years......?

I think it needs some wood in there... maybe a wooden bath mat thingy. Wooden accessories and some green in there too...sorry not very specific but something naturey...

Big fluffy towels rolled up in a box attached to the wall?

Artwork too?

Whoops! Apologies for not RTWT!!!

It didn't load!!!

Great update Op, it looks super. So pleased you’re now happy with it!

Oooo like it

Much better but I think a wooden blind the same colour as your floor would bring it all together, the window still looks a bit unfinished

And a different colour bath mat...yellow would work well with the grey and the floor

So inspiring op. Great update!!! Looks fab!

Yep, lovely much better x Maybe change the blinds to wooden to match floor when you fancy a change. Plus one of these on the bath?

(They do the bath caddy in a darker wood to match floor x)

It's gorgeous. Once the towels and a blind are up it will feel softer. I personally don't like lots of colour in a bathroom, I love white towels!

Thanks all :-)
@puppylove here is the updated pic

It's absolutely beautiful! Well done, OP.

It's lovely.

Ah thanks very much :-)

Wow what an improvement! You've done a great job.
I'm not feeling the hanging plant over the edge of the shelf though I'm afraid. It really draws the eye first and distracts from and spoils lots of other lovely things you have in there. I'd put a standard plant there instead.

It looks really fantastic but the mat bothers me for some reason. Maybe a mat with a pattern like this one?

Can't see the walls very well but they ook magnolia, which I think is your problem. Go for a colour, as it all looks too neutral. Look at Farrow and Ball colours, as they have nice tones to them (then get them mixed by dulux as it's cheaper )

Yep, it’s the wall colour. Also, couldn’t you tile it fully? Much less mess in the long run.

also, intersperse some patterned tiles

Note the fab update below peoples!

Wow much better, great job
