Lower the art over the tub
Get a tree that looks like it might be real.

prime/paint bare 1930's plaster bathroom?
Comments (9)Why would you oil prime? Just to disagree or do you have a valid reason over GARDZ which is ideal over plaster. I was just trying to make it easier for the obvious home owner. As you know Gardz is not the easiest product to apply properly and in an old bath( maybe without a fan)the oil primer would lock down residual paste and provide a sound surface for the finish coats. Yes,Gardz is a great product but it is still not solvent based and could break down with sufficient moisture and yes,I too avoid oil if at all possible but in this situation,I believe it to be the best solution,I am now done....See MoreTile most of the bathroom or tile the entire bathroom?
Comments (17)Sumod- The medicine cabinets are simple wood frames with a cabinet-grade plywood back that just sit in the stud cavity. Because of the dimensions, the front of the frame projects about 1"+ beyond the finished wall. The medicine cabinet doors are also plywood with veneered edges and they are attached to the frame with standard cabinet hinges (Euro hinges). The mirrors are just 1/4" plate glass ordered to size from a glass shop and held in place with mirror mastic and a metal strip at the bottom that you don't really see. The guy who did the cabinets just made the medicine cabinets as part of the job. I don't know about the door brand...we live in a large metro area that has lots of door shops and the doors are just solid core maple doors with the center cut out and a maple panel held in with molding. They're not stained; they simply have a couple coats of clear spray lacquer....See MoreBarely there Bathroom

Comments (25)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 More

It's very 'cold' in that room.
Bring in some wood, somewhere.
a teak bathmat, some wood shelving, maybe a few more hanging plants in a colorful pot?
now add the rug, some wood, a colorful garden stool, art, patterned towels w/some color
that tree is too bulky where you have it. look at "plant accents in bathrooms" to get some better ideas.
color towels, garden stool, vanity accessories
I like the art ideas.(your pink pictures are too small and hung way too high)
the wood, the rug and the textured light, along w/the greenery, make the space
think about doing a larger rug
If you took away the warm baskets and the rug, you'd have a cold, gray space
