Basic white is the way to go. If the tiles are in good nick and the sty;ist recommends changing I would look at getting a tile painter in.

Always a risk renovating for selling but the dated blue tiles stand out for the wrong reasons - there is an argument that you need to spend money to make money but it depends on the house/area etc ...need to do your homework with the agent crunch the numbers & sometimes they will be aligned with specilaised builders who do make-overs for selling, but typically it goes beyond just the one space and involves significant investment - Neutral is always the best way to go......matt white is a good option but greys can work well too to get a cosier less sterile feel to bathrooms - if you are going as far as doing a shower then for the vanity area consider removing tiles on the walls and bench, having a painted finish to the walls and even a laminate or lower end stone benchtop will help lift the bathroom aesthetic - best of luck

The blue tiles are gorgeous! A walk in shower is all you need to do.

Someone might just love those gorgeous tiles, of course neutral is a safer option, but you could remove shower curtain, add pure white accessories, maybe a white new toilet seat, it could be gorgeous and a whole lot cheaper for you, only you can decide if it compliments the rest of the house. Good luck .

Not my favorite colour tile having had to remove them from our eighties kitchen which had blue suede effect painted walls, blue matching blind and blue glass hanging pendent.

As Paul suggests don't spend money removing the spa etc for resale and Julies idea to de clutter adding simple white accessories. I would also remove the mirror behind the toilet and replace with a timber shelf to match the vanity

Yes, the mirror behind the toilet hits you as soon as you open the door 🙈

I agree with the above advice is rest of the house is unrenovated. It looks clean and in good condition. Ensure its super clean with a new shower curtain and styled as above.

Not a good place for a mirror especially if you are a man standing to use the toilet!!

Haha so true!

Hi, any suggestions on how to take away the focus of seeing the toilet as soon as you open the door?
I am removing the mirror but wonder if I should do white tiles so white toilet doesn’t stand out as much? Or should I do a soft pattern tile behind toilet and open shelves. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Maybe glam it up a little, very difficult to disguise, so make a bit of a statement, go with a timber look wall to tie in with the vanity. If you did decide to go neutral this would look beautiful as well.

Draw attention with things in the foreground. A rug in front of the vanity, a trailing plant on the vanity, lush hand towels on the towel ring.

Hi All. What are your thoughts on removing part of BIR, as circled in the picture below, to make the bathroom bigger?

It would still leave a small BIR in the bedroom. I hate the idea of removing BIR, but this bathroom is the only bathroom in the townhouse.

Thanks again.

Personally I don't think it is worth it to do that especially if you are preparing to sell, by taking that extra from the bedroom would most likely mean re doing the whole bathroom. But if you were prepared to redo the whole bathroom then it could be a great move as long as the bedroom involved isn't the master.
