Part upgrade of bathroom, colour suggestions needed
We can't afford a full upgrade for the next few years and although fully functional, this bathroom is the primary bathroom we use and it does not look the best.
The floor is vinyl and needs replacing, everything else is in a good state.
I hate the colour of the floor and window treatment as it gives everything an unflattering blue tinge and doesn't go with rest of the house.
What colour floor would work? We are thinking of putting in lvt. The room attached to this has oak floors in a neutral undertone.
I'm willing to paint the cabinets and wrap the worktop to improve the look and replace window treatment and paint ceiling.

Need help picking backsplash tiles and wall paint colours
Comments (9)Thank you for your suggestions and ideas! I love some of the more daring/colourful ideas, but I don't think I'm, personally, bold enough to go with such a contemporary look. I'm going to stick to a traditional/modern style and use large (4" x 8") white subway tiles and dark grey grout. I'm thinking of using a dark grey paint around the kitchen walls and then a lighter shade around the rest of the room, with maybe the dark grey on the wall behind the TV too. Will be a few more weeks before that's all done, but I'll post a picture when I eventually get there. Thanks again!...See MoreKitchen colour inspiration needed
Comments (16)Shelves above the stove , just one more thing to clean, whatever you put there gets filthy. Love the blue color, the nice thing is in this space you could use any color. I love glass subway tiles they are timeless and come in some wonderful colors.That penquin paper is fun , how about in the bathroom or a childs room....See MoreNeed some ideas for my bathroom
Comments (13)East Kent Eco - again thank you for your input. As a pro I wonder if you could offer your thoughts on a couple of scenarios 1 - Leave bath where it is - what would be involved in moving the shower 4-6 inches to the centre of the bath? I did consider the P shaped bath and will consider your suggestion for a shorter bath to allow room for the toilet, but I currently had to put in a door stop to protect the shower door from the entrance door handle and I would be concerned about a rounded door being even closer. If I left the bath where it is I have a couple of options, turning the toilet and cistern 90 degrees to the adjoining wall - see above for the considerations there, or I have also considered switching the toilet and sink. I would put the sink facing the wall where the cistern currently is have a large-ish vanity from the base of the bath to the wall, and the if the toilet was where the sink is it would not interfere with the doors for the hot press as the seat would be considerably lower than the sink is currently thus giving me the better access I want. In this scenario the main issue for me would be the toilet would be facing the entrance door, a bit unsightly but if it gave me the space I want I think I could live with the compromise. 2 - A bit more involved, but I have also considered moving the bath sideways along the short length of the room, shower end over the space where the cistern is currently and moving the sink and toilet to the space where the bath is currently. I think this would allow me room for a vanity and maybe also a tall storage cupboard for the towels and linens currently in the hot press. The obvious concern with this is the shower spray in the direction of the hot press, if I got the storage I needed elsewhere in the bathroom I wouldn't be concerned about those getting wet, but would want to ensure I don't end up with a leak over the stairs. Access would also be an issue if repairs were required for the shower pump or the hot water system. You would have to step into the bath to gain access. Is there a solution to waterproof the cupboard?...See MoreNeed help with my bathroom

last monthWood looks lovely with white so you could go with a wood effect flooring, a roller blind on the window and some nice towels. You could add a faux plant - they look very realistic. A patterned floor can also look good, like below. Modern sheet vinyl is so much better than it used to be. Of course the easiest way to update a bathroom is to paint the walls. I particularly like the navy with the white below, but of course there are so many other colour options.
