The only thing that is really ugly with this bathroom is the floor tiles and old shower screen. I'm all for getting new shower screen install. Repaint the whole bathroom with tile paint and for the floor get good quality water marine grade merbau timber and put timber decking over the bathroom floor. New shower head and tap fittings if you see fit.

If this is just a budget improvement then I would try to fix the cracked tiles and missing grout, paint the window frame white and add white shutters on the window, paint the vanity white (although I don't like doing that either) and get new handles and taps, toilet roll holder etc., install a lovely white potted plant, as shown above and white fluffy towels. A new white frame on the mirror or replace it with a slightly smaller white framed one. Then I would save up for a white stone bench top or stone overlay bench top and the cream will go nicely with all of it. Unfortunately your shower seems to be the most dated part. If you try to change the door you may find that you have missing tiles, although new floor tiles in the shower would probably look OK and add a glass hinged door. Good luck.

Making the right choice of tile for your bathroom is important - not just for the budget. Bathroom stone tiles, surfaces, vanity units can be given a new lease-on-life. Have stone surfaces polished, repaired and sealed. Make sure stone in the home is looked after - stone surfaces do not like acidic cleaning solutions or products - The Marble Man specialist repairs to stone surfaces recommend a ph balanced cleaning product - avoid acid and harsh caustic cleaning products on stone such as marble, travertine, granite vanity and bench tops.

I could spend $50-100k on my kitchen , but I won't . Right now , it is clean , tidy , it all works , and I have painted and tiled and laid new flooring . I have every appliance I need and then some ( a pizza oven and sausage roll maker and ice cream spirally thing probably aren't necessities , but just about are now after having them haha ) . More storage would be good , but thats a double edged sword -- I've built a 2nd 400sq mtr shed for my 'toys' , and if I want any more I'll have to sell haha .
