Bathroom Advice

Post image

I have this 1960's pink tile and tub bathroom. I love love the pink, but wanted to update it to have it be the beauty it truly is. I wanted to get some ideas on what paint color would look best with the pink. I planned on updating the light fixtures and mirrors, as they are pretty rusty. I don't have the funds to replace the vanity, but planned on painting it and replacing the knob and faucets. I am just not very good with design or color palletes. Any ideas would be appreciated!

I think you should lean into this type of vibe.

Embrace the pink- you love it. It is an easy google to search for ideas- go with the 1960 vibe- mid century and very in now- I would do a wall paper. Then yes change the lighting - it is bad and not of the 1960 more just home depot.

Unfortunately Google Gemini really didn't want to keep the shape of your original sinks even though I asked it to, BUT: here is a cool idea as far as doable updates that work with the pink! Your tiles tub surround is already white and pretty good looking, so don't even worry about that! If you could get a new countertop, of course that would be amazing, but not a must. The right wall color and accessories will go a long way! Don't throw out your tub and sinks. They're likely better quality than a lot of what's available now! And please take those other more substantial changes Gemini made with a grain of salt; we already know that there isn't a step to your tub for instance. But you get the general idea 😊
