I am fairly minimalistic and my like to keep to very neutral colours.
I am in the (very long) process of buying a house which is only about three years old.
The bathroom is very boring even by my minimalistic/neutral standards and would love some inspiration please!! I need to keep the tiles to keep costs down. I am hopeless at interior design and usually resort to Pinterest and Instagram for ideas but I am even struggling there! I quite fancy the idea of wallpaper above the tiles but have always had tiled/painted bathrooms so not sure how practical that would be.
Thanks in advance!

A nice mix of blues and greens would add colour and warmth but keep it calm.

I would buy a full blown made to measure mirror for the wall above the toilet.

My bathroom is very similar, and I thought I would keep it that way.
I've just dyed my towels and bath mat a deep mossy green though.

Just realised there are posts I missed on this thread.
Thank you everyone! You have inspired me wink

Honestly - I would not bother. You only pee in there and shower in there. In and out. I would spend money on other rooms or the garden.

My bathroom is virtually the same as this. I have artificial flowers from Matalan, chosen because they are very colourful and the planter is lightweight so if I drop it tiles won’t be chipped. The towels pick up the colours of the flowers as do the soap dispenser and mug (acrylic). I’m accident-prone, you see!
