I like your floors. I would remove the tree by the tub, stow your products with in your cabinets, take up the multiple bath rugs and take down the window swag.

I’d remove the pebbles around the tub.

Remove the other tiles on the tub as well. And just do either the tub. Or drywall and trim. Like photo below.

I also think smaller, framed mirrors will tie it all together.

i see four different patterned, set design elements: floor, shower tile, countertop and pebbles. It's a lot.

Since those aren't going to change easily, remove everything else that draws the eye: tree, colored floor rugs, colored towels, stick thing in the corner, candles on the edge of the tub and the window swag, also the other stuff on the counters.

Replace towels and rugs with either white or beige that matches walls or light element of tile - and make them all the same color.

I love your floors and countertops! In my opinion, there’s a few too many surface choices, but they’re all pretty. I like that you kept the large mirrors- I always regretted changing those in my old house. I think a problem area is your countertops full of stuff. And I say that gently… as we are prone to this, too. It looks like you should have enough storage to stash it after use. I’d remove the tree around the tub and probably nothing on the window. I’d change the rug color too. Overall, you’ve done a very nice job. Just needs a few tweaks and a reminder to put things away (again, said very kindly 😘from one who struggles with this too.)

Same advice, no tree and white fluffy rugs. Also don’t care for the swag window treatment, it’s too busy. I wouldn’t put any treatment over the blinds.

Also I’m trying to figure out is your cabinet hardware black? I can tell the tub hardware is nickel, but it looks like the cabinet hardware is black. I would have them all the same (nickel).

The rugs don’t work with your colors.

The paint is showing lavender - I think you said it was gray, but that would be a problem for me.

What is on the tub face? Is that vertical-pattern tile? I’d take that off.

Remove all green towels, rugs. replace with white. consider an off white wall paint similar in color to the vanities. maybe larger more modern fixtures above the mirror. maybe consider vanity pulls and fixtures in nickel or lighter metal colors

Way too much going on in there. It’s like your design approach is “One of Each.” There are too many patterns and lines going in too many directions. I don’t m8nd the pebbles in the shower, but mind them around the tub. The tree has to go. All the stuff sitting on the countertops is reflected TWICE in those huge mirrors. Please replace the mirrors with something smaller that won’t show all the stuff on the countertops. I don’t care for the herringbone pattern, it’s like you did it just for the sake of doing herringbone.

Do some photoshopping and see if doing something nuts like painting the walls charcoal would make it more appealing to you.

I do think covering or removing the pebbles around the tub would be better, but try paint. Photoshop (or something the paint stores have) is easy.

Also, lose the blue rugs and towels.

Even thought the blue/teal rugs are so pretty they do not match the colors in your room. I would remove them and do white like others suggested. I would remove the pebbles around the tub.

I think the large mirrors reflect what you have on the counter, making it seem cluttered .some one mentioned smaller framed mirrors over the sinks, which I think would be a good idea.

​I would remove the tub deck tiles and replace with the shower wall tile, if you can get it. Or, just fix the drywall and paint. I don't mind the tile on the tub apron although I would have run it all horizontal. If you choose to remove it, replace with drywall, not any type of wainscoting.

The wall color isn't helping the overall feel but other posters will be able to provide suggestions.

I would say

1. clear off counters, tub deck and window covering
2. swap mats/towels to color that matches countertops or floor - floor might be best to try to make them disappear
3. unify metals to match your faucets
4. optionally replace the tub splash with drywall/paint…or perhaps at least the two short ends, which would tone things down

And: Nicely done to ask for input. It’s diificult when things don’t work out as envisioned.

I agree with the decluttering advice, not using the colored rugs, taking down the valence and getting a different color paint for the walls. I think the front of the tub is too busy, would be better painted. Is the tub deck the same stone as the counters? It looks like you might have left it the original finish. Save up to get it replaced with the same stone as the counters, if it is not. A live plant might look nice in the corner of the tub deck. This will be pretty without adding another pattern to the scene like the sculpture tree does.

I am not sure if you need to change the hardware to nickel. Try this, take the pulls off one stack of drawers and cover them as smoothly as you can with the dull side of aluminum foil. Get it as tight and form fitting as possible. Do the whole drawer stack. Live with it for a while and see if you like it better. You may have to do a couple of adjacent cabinets to see. As those pulls cost you quite a lot, if you like them better in nickel, you can try painting them with a metallic paint after scrubbing them a bit with TSP to take off any gloss. You will have to do the light fixtures, too. The recessed lights can be improved by changing out the color of the outer ring. Match the ceiling. If they are low heat fixtures you can simply paint them. You can just buy LED bulbs for them to cut down on electric cost and to make them low heat fixtures.

I am not sure if the stones around the tub will look okay with all of the above done. If they still look like “too much,” you can try just using drywall. Paint it the wall color. Just don’t splash a lot in the tub and you will be fine.

The brown tile and the ivory woodwork are warm colors. You need a warmer color for the walls. Ask for some warm grays to try.

You have so much cabinet storage, it seems you should be able to get most of your stuff off the counters, which will help reduce the busyness. I also think the pebble tile is the biggest contributor to the busyness. I would (before I changed it out) paint it a light beige to coordinate with the tub deck. I'd probably paint the trim band of it in the shower but would leave the shower floor, as it might be more difficult to have the floor painted to last. Check youtube on methods and products for painting tile.
I also would replace or paint your cabinet hardware a lighter finish. There are a LOT of handles in that room, so I'd try to reduce the impact by having them lighter. If you don't want to change out or paint the tile in the shower, you could get some window film to put on your glass door so it would not be seen as easily, which would really lessen its impact in the room.
I guess a lot of people didn't really read your op where you mention the rugs and towels are gone. I agree that fluffy white replacements would be attractive in your room. Sounds like maybe the tree is gone, as well, since it fits in the blue/teal accessories category you said you changed. Might think of softer window treatments (maybe a bottom up shade) to eliminate the vertical pattern of the blinds.

If this bathroom had a title, it'd be "Too Much" -- I don't see farmhouse or transitional; rather, I see too much pattern and conflicting items. Part of this is because of today's trend towards very simple/calm. Ways to combat this:

- Start with the easiest thing -- this alone should make a very big difference: remove clutter from the bathroom sinks. You have loads of drawer storage, so this should be possible. Make it your goal to organize your drawers /keep out on the cabinet only soap and hand towels. I'd say do this one thing and live with it a while -- see if it's "enough".

If not:

- In general I like big mirrors in bathrooms -- they're so practical -- but yours seem to be missing the mark. With "so much going on" and so much clutter, the first mirror duplicates that mess and the second mirror triples it. Once the clutter is gone, this will largely be alleviated.

- The mirrors also look unfinished -- they need frames. Some people are saying "Go with small, framed mirrors". I'm fearful that these will just add to the overly-busy look. I really think the problem is the clutter the mirrors are reflecting.

- Lose the doo-whop curtain over the tub -- consider a more simple curtain.

- Could the tree perhaps be recreated as a wall-piece for the blue wall at the foot of the tub? The tree is "too much" where it is -- yet you need something on that blank wall.

- You say you've removed the blue mats and towels -- that's good. While I like the color, I agree with those who say that keeping the color scheme simple will "calm" the room. The rug problem wasn't just the color -- you had too many little rugs; I'd like to see one larger rug, but I don't see how that could happen.

- The tub is the first thing you see, and it's kinda cramped between these two doors -- it has to stay simple. I don't care for the pebble tile around the tub, and it's not really a need. Also note that the tub-side-tile is right next to the floor pattern, and they're not playing well together.

- Someone else said change the dark hardware to a silver-tone. I disagree. As it is now, the darker hardware ties into the light fixtures -- don't change one without changing the other, and I know you said you were looking to do this without spending big. If you do change both items, go with something simple that'll blend in rather than stand out.

The pebbles and tub cladding are horrible. Demo them first.

But first, hire a kitchen and bath designer. You desperately need one who can reign in your chinese menu choices. One from each column is not how design works.

Another thing to consider for this bathrom is to remove one wall of mirrors and keep the other. do you use and need both? because the reflections wouldnt be so overwhelming with just 1 mirror. keep the other wall blank or with a very very neutral abstract artwork.

function over form though so if you use both mirrors keep them. or maybe a table top makeup mirror on one and the large mirror on the other

So much better! What do you think?

I'd remove the candles. You can always pull them out of the vanity for use. Either that, or replace with smaller, simpler candlesticks, either white, chrome or nickel.

perhaps a lighter flooring with less pattern and smaller FRAMED mirrors over the sinks

I think changing the floors would have the biggest impact. They are far too busy and would be the easiest to change, relatively speaking. But, definitely don't use the same time as tub and shower surround. That will put it back to overly busy. Choose a plain solid tile. I like your counters and wouldn't change them. If you still want to change something else, the pebble surround on the tub should also go.
