With a nice clean space like that you can go a lot of different ways. I would start by looking at shower curtains, because they can become the focal point. When you find one or two (or more) that you like, you can play off of the colors in the curtain to find the color towels, bath mat, and even wall color. Some ideas: You could go classic black and white, with a touch of something bright if you want for an accent (like the fuscia in the photo) Or something "spa-like," in acqua and cream. Or you could go bright, with teal and lime green. Another classic look: tan walls, white and/or tan towels and bathmat, simple white accessories. Good luck!

Yes, I had noticed a lot of pics on Houzz, that's what gave me the idea! I certainly wouldn't put it IN the shower! We have a tiled shower, but the tiles only go as high as the glass surrounds, so there is about 30cm of painted wall above the shower, which is the part I was worried about with steam etc.

I think that bathroom really suits the colours. If I was intending to stay in the house long term then I would do it.... why not enjoy the colour and look your love. If you are going to sell in a few years and you are thinking it might be too bold then maybe just do one wall - after all the new owners can paint over it.

Hi Emily, This does seem quite extreme for such a small renovation. I recommend that you investigate getting a CCTV inspection done. They will put a camera down the closest manhole and follow the pipe along. Make sure if you do this, you ask the CCTV drain inspectors to locate the drain for you and place pegs on site. You may be able to find a solution from there. Second option is to re-look at the floor plan to establish if there is a better place to relocate the toilet without needing another gully trap. 2.5 bathrooms is quite generous so for resell it may not be necessary, although there may be other alterations you could do to improve circulation, flow and functionality. Good luck with your renovations.
