Bathroom tiles - feature wall or no?
Comments (3)When we tile, we go for simplicity and timelessness because we don't like re-doing things and plan to be in our house for a long time. But if tile features or renovating your spaces every so often makes you happy and/or you're not planning on being in your house for decades, go for it! And actually, two different shades of grey on the walls and floor doesn't sound like it would date the space any differently than one, or even make the space look less clean and simple. I like the simple lines of your bathroom and think it will look pretty either way. Arcy, I wonder if/when you get tired of the glass tile strip how complicated it would be to swap out just that strip. I've never tiled myself so am not sure how hard it would be to demo a strip and replace it with something classic (without destroying the tile surrounding it), but it might be a possibility. Either way, I'll bet the glass tiles will be "in" for a long time yet....See MoreWhich wall art - bathroom wall?
Comments (10)B if it’s sized right for the wall. C if you have another spot in the bathroom for it, or want to add it to an arrangement with the art. Sorry, A looks a bit like those things you nail to a tree at the end of your driveway to see if a car is coming. How large is the painting relative to the size of the wall space?...See MoreWhich wall paint for this vintage bathroom?
Comments (1)I would match the ivory tiles. There are accent colors in the tiles, use them for your accessories. Also, please turn that light so the light shines down. No one needs light shining at the ceiling, in a bathroom. They should be pointed down, so you can see to do your hair, and brush your teeth, etc. Your bulbs are very yellow and they distort the color. Trying putting cooler type light bulbs in there, once you reverse them. One that says daylight on the package. I love the vintage of the bathroom, and it sounds like you are keeping that. Good....See MoreHow do you like this open concept bathroom (no bathroom-bedroom wall)
Comments (26)I'll be a contrarian. I would never knowingly rent a room with a shared bathroom in the hall. That would be a complete pass - I don't even like having to use a hallway bathroom in a sleeping situation in which I would share with friends and family because if I need to use it in the night I would have to wake up more/get more decently dressed and I hate having to shlep stuff to take a shower or perform normal grooming stuff in a bathroom. I don't have the horror of viewing a toilet from a bedroom that some houzzers seem to have. It certainly wouldn't bother me on a temporary basis. I have a master bath in my home and I can't remember the last time I actually shut the door. I don't have issues with smells or humidity but perhaps that is because my Toto washlet has a built in deodorizer AND I have an excellent Panasonic fan which runs based on ambient humidity levels. I don't generally even have condensation on shower doors or mirrors after exiting let along huge amounts of humidity wafting through my bedroom. The question really is one of economics. There is a cost to installing the bathroom and OP would need to decide whether they would make up the expense by having increased rent and/or renting it out more frequently. Certainly any prospective renter would see a picture and determine whether they wanted the ensuite with a curtain in the room or use of a bathroom in the hall. Also resale value is a red herring. At such point that OP wanted to sell it would be relatively inexpensive to convert the bathroom into a closet if having the ensuite in that room was a negative....See Moreskunst2017
