Paint. Tiles can be painted. Either professionally or DIY using tile paint. Timber looks ok so I'd leave it.

Thanks MB. Just the wall tiles though? I'm guessing tile paint wouldn't hold up on the shower tiles? What about the nasty pink vanity bench tiles?

Apparently its quite ok for showers. Theres a few products around such as tub n tile.

I actually don't mind the wall tiles! I could live with those. My late 60's bathroom is far more busy pattern wise.

My suggestions would be to paint wood around window. the trim above tile and the vanity. If leaving the wall tile as they are, avoid painting vanity white as that would clash. Another solid colour could look great though. You could leave the slab doors on vanity or add some trim to give a different look. Adding a colour to the wall would change overall look also.

For flooring, tile over with 3mm tiles, or paint them instead. Probably simpler to paint ones on the vanity top but they could be removed or tiled over also.

If you want to make over all, painting wall tiles as MB suggested sounds like best way without spending too much. If nervous about using paint in the shower, there are some panels that can be stuck directly over tiles. Like Pipers Flexicryl, Aquapanel by Laminex, Gunnnersens WallArt.

Can you tell I've been thinking of ways to makeover my own bathroom?!!

Pink is in fashion. Get the pros in to do everything else white paint except the floor.

change the big towel rails and shelfy things for chrome stuff. Do that and I don't think you will have to do much else.

Well, shelfy should become an official Houzz word!

don't mind the wall tiles or floor tiles ..change your towel hangers to modern ones..

get rid of that mirror stuck on the wall and you'd see a difference..

dont paint the tiles it will be a waste and will never look the same

If you can't live with the tile it can be professionally refinished. They use an epoxy resin paint. Not sure of the exact makeup. It's far cheaper than new tile though. It can be done in any color you chose. The beauty part is they cover the grout lines too. No more cleaning grout.

Thanks everyone! I'll look into your suggestions. I think I could probably live with the wall tiles, but a absolutely hate the pink floor and around the basin! I'll look into painting those. Getting some chrome rails and shelves will be a quick easy fix.

I'm still not sure about the wood trims. I kind of want to paint over them, but the theme runs through the whole house and some of that looks pretty good. I was thinking at some point to sand them back and stain with a lighter honey colour...once I redo the tiles etc.

Check with a flooring pro you might be able to put something over that tile.

If you painted the wall tiles white, or even a very pale blue, kept the wood trim, but painted the bench tops, you could lay wooden tile squares on the floor, over the tiles, fairly inexpensively. Bunnings have one option, I think IKEA does too. They clip together, so easy to pull up when you finally renovate.

they are decking tiles IKEA is the cheap version we used them for our rental..

your wall tiles look quite funky. You can probably get a tiler to tile over your floor tile - or you could put a vinyl plank over it yourself. You could also change out your shower door for a modern clear one. Pull out the sink and retile the countertop (or just paint it with tile paint), and replace the sink with something a bit more modern or retro squarish to match the cute cupboard handles (assuming it's possibly to change the sink cut out shape in the countertop). The taps could also look better updated - there's some surprisingly decent and cheap ones at hardware stores. Try removing the brown shelf and toothpaste cups - or if they leave holes in the tiles, perhaps use the cups as little flower vases or something. The toothpaste + brushes don't look too good in there, poking up in front of the mirror. Consider painting (white?) the window frame, timber edge strip outside the shower, timber edge strip above the tiles and the timber door and door frame that lead into the room. If you don't like the mission brown aluminium window you could pop a blind over it. The timber cabinet and the timber towel rails are quite sweet and could look great once you've done everything else. Ditch the mirror above the towell rails and consider replacing the main mirror (which is quite ok as is) with one that's taller and covers more of that wall, or at least level with the top of the window frame, for a more modern, open look.

Also can the cabinet front be given a freshen up with a suitable oil or finish - ask at the hardware store. Not sure about swapping your cupboard handles for something chrome, could completely ruin the look.

i would paint the wall tiles white, sand back the vanity to make it a much lighter timber and pop some metal knobs to replace the timber ones. I would leave the floor tiles, just embrace them! I would however go to the expense of changing the vanity top to a white stone or stone look alike. I would remove the towel rail and mirror above and replace them with a timber hook board for towels. Paint the walls and trim white. We have just renovated our bathroom and we were able to pick a ceaserstone off cut for our existing vanity by calling stone masons in our area. Treat yourself to some new towels and accessories. Good luck

off cuts are great value :)

I would definitely keep your taps and sink, but replace/go over the top of the bench top! It would be nice to price replacing that shower door - change to a frameless or semi frameless piece of glass. Change out all towel rails and such wall fixtures - you can get good chrome looking budget ones at Bunnings that will last three years. Personally, I would definitely paint the vanity doors white gloss - a 2-pak look. You might find the only available options for going over your current floor (other than tiles), are pretty ugly and I wouldn't trust tile paint on the floor it has been known to wear badly. If you don't mind a very small step up into the bathroom, you can tile straight over the top of those tiles, Go to a tile outlet place and you will get very nice tiles in the small quantity you need for less than $100, and the tiling job shouldn't take long or cost much. I have done exactly that myself and I would look into that if you really hate the floor tiles. If the wall tiles are cream and not white, I would paint them with white tile paint. If you do change the floor at all, I would get tile paint in a similar tone - say a stone or grey colour or something similar to the floor colour you go with and use that tile paint to paint carefully over the dark brown stripes in those wall tiles - or better still - try white tile paint over them first and see how they look. I would definitely be painting all that mission brown trim and the inside of the door white if it were me as it will modernise and freshen the space right up, but if you really want to stick to a timber stain, then yes, I would go much lighter than it currently is. Definitely paint the vanity doors in my opinion though if you want to update the whole look in there. Would be best to get rid of that piece of timber between the shower and the door too! That's just me though! Best of luck with it!
