Thankyou @sonomamama, so you agree no greenish khaki in the bathroom? Yes i dont mind that colour @rebeccamitchellinteriors&boutique but i worry that having grey will make it look dreery? its a very small space too, its only about 2.5x3m?

georgi has some very good ideas and is on the ball in regards to if you want to keep it to a low budget but you have stated that you want a complete change but the toilet has to stay where it is. So i am going forward with the complete change, modern look without being extravagant. I would remove all tiles, vanity, pictures, hand rails, toilet and curtains. I would get rid of the shower and put a new one over the bath tub. This will free up space and make the bath area dual purpose. Bigger bathroom already! I would then remove the current porcelain tub and make it into a planter outside or sell it. Extend the bathtub walls higher to about 50cm and out to where the brick work butts the current vanity's position. Also extend slightly the bath wall nearest the toilet so you can install glass near the window. You will end up with a slightly bigger bath area. georgi has the right idea with the tiles placement. My preference although you can change it would be to get a light slate or sandstone coloured tiles. Either go all white tiles for floor and walls or mix it like sandstone colour on the floor with white on the walls. Tile either up to 2m up the wall or to the ceiling if you have a bit of extra cash for a clean stylish look. Tile the bath tub walls too so you end up with something similar to a roman bath with shower. The shower head should be of enough distance away that water splashes are minimal on the window sill. Now install a frame less glass partition between the toilet and the wall near the current vanity. Install a new toilet - white modern look with a fuller body than the one you currently have. Now for the new vanity.... These are just ideas and are ones with a tub installed. The roman styled gives you more room if you want to have a bath and is not as slippery when getting in or out. Also toddlers can hold the side and stand up without slipping over and hurting themselves. Cleaning is not a issue if normal maintenance like wiping down glass and tile after every shower/bath. I have taken the wiping down routine for the last 10 years. I only had to clean the grout once every 3 to 4 years and it doesnt stain heavily. Lighting i like the ideas of georgi. The mirrors can also double as storage cabinets.

Thank you all. I like the bi fold door idea. Could you tell me how I go about getting the door? Does this have to be custom made as the width of the door is about 75cm. How much will I be spending? Also I like the idea of painting the wall tiles white and redoing the tile work of the floors later by putting the tiles on top of the old ones. The town we live in has a low market so spending too much on a bathroom means we probably won't get the money back off it in the long run. We plan on moving in 3-4years but we may keep it as an investment.

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.
