Sorry, not a great photo but really, there's nothing else too see. It's totally plain.

How do i make it look better without wanting to rip it all out (i hate tiling).

Thanks for all your ideas on all my quesitons!

Hi there,

You could consider replacing the shower screen for a more contemporary frameless one, which will increase the space visually. If your budget runs to it, you could have the tiles re-surfaced, in whatever colour you wish, but certainly refreshing the grout will help, as scottevie suggests. Another thing would be to update the WC to a more contemporary one with cleaner, smoother lines. Some greenery and accessories will also cheer the space up a great deal.

Refresh the grout if it needs it. Painting the walls above the tile in a white that matches the wall tiles might help brighten and visually enlarge the space. Is that a shelf above the toilet that you could place a trailing indoor plant on? A modern bath mat or rug on the floor with coordinating towels. Are you making improvements for yourself or for selling etc?

HELP - contractor totalled quote incorrectly, now says owe +10,000
Q

@Cruca : Thank you for responding We both signed the original AND a mid-renovations updated contract, and both totalled 40.000. However, at the very end, he recognised an error on the final total, and explained that if I add up all the individual items, it totals 50.000. I understand, but he knew my budget was 40.000, and now because the work is finished, I can't even remove or reduce any of the work. It just seems unfair, because everyone could say that all the time. I trusted my builder, and as it was a printed document, I assumed all his calculations were correct!

Hola MONICA: Gracias por explicarte. Si no te obstinas por poner fotos tuyas variadas y pequeñás, puedes encargar un vinilo autadhesivo, con una imagen de la más alta definición, que haga tu instrumento, o comprar alguna en un banco de imágenes. Procuras que la parte alta izquierda sea lo más neutra posible y pegas la imagen sobre el paramento completo, incluso sobre el frente del split. El resto, puedes hasta pintarlo a spray del color que requiera, para camuflarse mejor.

Buenas noches gestión estética! Muchas gracias por tus comentarios e ideas aportadas, la verdad es que estamos muy ilusionados con el proyecto pero también es cierto que es una reforma de cierta envergadura por nuestra intención de actualizar y hacer más cómoda la vivienda (en la actualidad no cuenta ni con ducha!) pero a la vez intentar mantener los elementos estéticos de la época que le confieren el encanto que tiene al piso. Agradecemos cualquier asesoramiento ya que las reformas las emprenderemos nosotros mismos, sin ningún arquitecto o interiorista que lidere el proyecto, contrataremos directamente a los profesionales que han de ejecutar la obra, por lo que nos surgen muchas dudas de la mejor opción estética / económica / práctica en diversos elementos. Adjunto otro elemento en el que no llegamos encontrar la opción ideal, hay 2 salas que están separadas también por la misma marquetería que en el dormitorio y unos armarios a ambos lados. Nos gustan estéticamente (no en ese color quizás) pero seria más practico que las 2 salas no estuvieran separadas (una estaría destinada a comedor y la otra a sala de estar), por los que nos planteamos o eliminarlo todo (con dolor en el corazón) o una opción intermedia como vaciar solo la parte central, o la parte central y uno de los laterales. ¿Consejo? Por privado (si se puede hacer esto aquí) podría enviar plano completo del piso y más dudas que tenemos! Gracias!

What do you think about this? - The contrast between wood and Stone

The contrast between wood and Stone Dare to create elegant spaces by combining these elements, by harmonizing wood and stone, in different colors, a balance is achieved, which can give to notice a slightly rustic style, but with a lot of elegance and modernity. There are infinite spaces and surfaces where you can cover with stone. From kitchens, bathrooms and balconies, as well as exteriors of your home providing rustic touches, but connecting you with nature. Definitely these two natural elements achieve the perfect balance.

Wood is a very warm and natural coating, which is durable and easy to maintain. Contrasting the rusticity of wood, natural stone brings colder sensations, with eclectic characteristics and close to minimalism. What do you think about this?

Depends largely on what you like - do you like those brown tiles? Personally I'd be spraying over those to lighten the room, but if you like those, spray the walls with whatever colour you're wanting as that will get rid of that little pattern that I suspect is on tiles on other walls as well? Looks like there is a shelf above the loo, so get an interesting plant or find some artwork that you don't mind looking at from the shower! :)

What is your budget and long term plans for the home? It is a neutral space with lots of scope to add nice accessories, even a plant, colourful towels. I prefer a neutral bathroom over a 50's-60's candy pink or baby blue number.

Could you white grout the floor to really lift it and make a feature of it at the same time? Also agree painting the walls white will help, and a frameless shower screen would make it look more modern. Then add greenery as it will offset the floor colour nicely.

Paint the walls of the room white to match the tiles and change the flooring its bringing the room down and making it feel cold. You could go with a laminate floor if you're not wanting to re tile. You will need professional do to this though as waterproofing in bathroom is important. As N.B. interiors said above, replacing the shower screen would make a huge difference but that depends on your budget.

I will put some photos below for inspo

Oh those shower hobs are just dreadful, matching the impossible to clean toilet plumbing so beloved of Australian builders in the 60s and 70s.

You may find that the tiles were put on using a mixture of glue and cement as well, really difficult to remove.

It looks as if the toilet is plumbed from an awkward side position so putting in a modern one without exposed pipes would be tricky and may need to chase space into the bricks, after removing the tiles.

The boundless joy of getting tradies in to gut one of these with jackhammers and refit - not cheap, takes weeks to complete waiting for things to dry, and very dusty.

Requires the full parade of trades, plumbers, tilers, electrics, waterproofers all trying to work in the same space.

Should add value to sale and rental yields, If the property is worth it, I would recommend using a full service team and work the design until you are totally happy, most of the cost is labour if you don't overcapitalise on the fittings.

Enjoy

This is a combo bathroom laundry. The tiny vanity was bought to fit before we discovered the cavity was empty and not structural. Can easily be replaced with a fully wall hung one now.

I would leave the walls and just tile over the slate in a modern tile (provided slate is not dummy). Then replace the shower screen and fittings.

Re fresh the grout, paint the wall white, and add some wood elements to enhance the floor. Also add some plants to add life to the room. It has good bones just need some character. Good luck

The only thing that is really ugly with this bathroom is the floor tiles and old shower screen. I'm all for getting new shower screen install. Repaint the whole bathroom with tile paint and for the floor get good quality water marine grade merbau timber and put timber decking over the bathroom floor. New shower head and tap fittings if you see fit.

I think you are lucky to have a nice neutral bathroom. I would paint walls white, get new frameless shower screen and regrout tiles if needed. Then add colourful towels and accessories.
