Downstairs bog … I’m thinking it needs something on the bare wall but what? It’s a small room so don’t want anything too in your face. I was thinking one of those old fashioned “soap co.” Pictures (usually a picture of a cow in a bath or something!)

DH says it’s fine as it is.

Definitely plants! Looks lovely

Wolfiee · 10/08/2022 10:26

Is it time to get rid of my beloved ducks? 😭 thinking a plant would look better on that window ledge but I’m rather attached to the ducks 😂

Would love to have a hanging plant beside the window but that air vent is there, would it be ok to put a plant over it?

I'd put it a bit below it but then it should be fine.

I like the ducks! I'd keep them 😂

ShirleyPhallus · 10/08/2022 10:28

I’d paint the walls - a dark navy or dark green would look fab then some lovely botanical prints and a bigger mirror

lemonsaretheonlyfruit · 10/08/2022 10:28

Yes to a hanging plant that trails. I have one on my bathroom that hangs and it looks nice. Then a print on the left hand wall (I have a New Yorker framed print that people always seem to comment on) .. I also have your tiles but in blue!

I think a blind would add texture and finish the room.

Can you believe I never even realised I’d forgotten to put a blind up! I’ve spent that long looking at it wondering what was missing I totally missed the obvious!

To bin the tooth brushes.

A colourful Roman blind as window dressing

Pick a warm undertone from the blind and change the wall paint colour.

Change the mirror out to a large framed rectangle.

Buy hand towels to match a dominant colour in the blind.

Buy a soap dispenser to match.

Get rid of the ducks to a room with a bath rehome the plant too.

What toothbrushes?

Paint the walls a more cheerful colour. Bright orange or green.

MarsupiIami · 10/08/2022 10:40

Those are not toothbrushes 😂

Skethylita · 10/08/2022 10:41

Totally outing, but do you have anything to show off?

My downstairs loo is where I keep all of my certificates/ trophies. It's out of the way, slightly ironic and has the added benefit that it subtlu shows off to any visitors 😁

Creepymanonagoatfarm · 10/08/2022 10:41

One of these?

It must be! Can't think what else!

livingthegoodlife · 10/08/2022 10:42

I'd go for more plants & large colourful modern painting/ picture. Keep the ducks.

A taller plant on the floor, a hanging trailing plant from the ceiling to cover the vent. Some funky prints in frames along the big wall.

A nice ornament and a red diffuser on the windowsill

Allthegoodnamesarechosen · 10/08/2022 10:44

Ochre walls

ExPatHereForAChat · 10/08/2022 10:44

I'd paint the grey wall a royal blue.

livingthegoodlife · 10/08/2022 10:44

My down stairs loo is a very similar size to yours. I went for a busy wall paper.

This is amazing! Wish I had the guts to do something like that, but I know I'd chicken out!
