The thing is that I bought a house that has 3 bathrooms on it, and the bathroom of the master bedroom (mine) has the toilete, bathtub, and sink in burgundy color. The other 2 bathrooms have the toilete and sink in baby pink. The 3 bathrooms have white ceramic floor, and beige walls. How can I redecorate without spending too much money?
If I had the budget, the pink fixtures would be the first to go. 2nd option: work with it. For a 50’s feel – pink and black with white and chrome. Use B+W old movie star photos in black lacquer frames. White walls, flamingo motif. South Seas feel – Coral walls, and sea shells that have pink inside as accents. Bamboo wastebaskets and accessories. Hawaiian print shower curtain with burgandies, pinks, blacks, yellows and blue.

The grey is the same colour as the SEARCH button above. Its neither light grey, or dark grey but some where in between. I have a very small bathroom and loads of light comes in through the windows. At the moment, its a dark blue (don’t know what I was thinking there!) but its very over due for a revamp What colour and shade would you suggest for grey bathroom furniture? Forget to mention, I have a sky bue lino flooring So thats grey toilet, sink & bath, sky blue floor and dark blue walls. Not a good combination. So far your answers have been very good. Thank you.
I would say, don’t fight it, go with it. so if you don’t want it to stand out, you need it to blend in and look like you picked that grey toilet on purpose, that’s my philosophy. I recommend; Benjamin Moore metropolis-cc546 flagstone-cc516 or barnboard572 either of these should look good with your floor also and then I would recommend going with sky blue towels, or layering white and sky blue towels, that kind of idea. The look will be very clean, comfortable and have an urban flare to it.

The exhaust fan in my bathroom drips onto the bathroom floor constantly during the winter. I have had a new roof turban installed where it vents thinking it would solve the problem by allowing the condensation to vent up through the roof, but it continues to drip down through the exhaust fan and into my bathroom. It drips whether the fan is running or not running. It’s very annoying as the fan is located in the ceiling in front of my sink and I can’t stand there without getting water dripped down my back, not to mention the mess it makes on the floor and my rugs. Any suggestions?
The above answers are good. Also, please check the owners manual for your fan, or contact manufacturer’s customer service.

Bathroom Taps
Whether you’re designing anew home, remodeling your bathroom, or adding a bathroom to your existing home, you’ll need to choose bathroom taps for your new bathroom.
Ceramic disk valves vs conventional valves
Do the taps you are consider have Ceramic disk valves or conventional screw down valves? The ceramic valves are considered to provide better function, but are generally more expensive. You just have to decide if the difference is worth the extra price or not.
Design
There are many different bathroom tap designs, but they are broken down into two main categories – Contemporary designs and traditional designs. Contemporary designs offer you unique, cutting edge designs to give your bathroom a fresh, edgy look. Conventional designs give you an older, more traditional look. Of course, you will want to synchronize your bathroom fixtures so that they are all of one overall design.
Finish
Bathroom taps are available in many different finishes, to suit any taste or need. Some of the most common finishes are chrome, brass, and gold. Keep in mind that in general, the finish is unrelated to the construction of the fixture. In other words, a brass finish faucet is probably not made of brass.
On some designs, you can also get extras like ceramic handles. These add a very stylish, classy look to your faucet. Of course, ceramic will not be as durable as metal, but risk of breakage is very low on a quality bathroom tap.
Guarantee
Bathroom taps are being sold with increasingly good guarantees, such as 10 years. Check the guarantee of the bathroom tap you are considering buying.
Ease of use
If possible, you should check a fixture for ease of use before you buy it. Does it operate smoothly and easily? Is it easy to operate with wet and slippery hands?
Keep these tips in mind to help you choose the perfect bathroom taps!

Best Products for a Small Bathroom: The UK Guide
A bathroom is one room in the home, apart from the kitchen, that requires the most planning. A well planned small bathroom will not only add significantly to the value of your home, but will also provide an essential luxury: somewhere to relax, wash, feel good and be pampered. As you’re probably working with one of your home’s smallest spaces, utilising every inch is crucial. Your bathroom, whatever size, needs to be highly functional and practical. Avoiding design mistakes at the planning stage will save you unnecessary costs in labour, tiling and sanitary ware in the future. Here’s a short guide for getting the most out of your small bathroom, including help with planning, positioning and purchasing the right suite.
What’s the first step?
When working with a small bathroom area, the most important thing to consider is its quantities and dimensions. As your available space may be limited, you should draw or make a layout of your bathroom, with correct sizing (to scale!) before embarking on your small bathroom project. At this stage, it’s essential that you include in your layout any windows, internal walls, doors (including any door swinging space), existing fixtures and with allowance for adequate entry/exit space.
If you’re starting from scratch, you’ll need to use the dimensions of the room to get an idea of the required sizing of your sanitary ware, and the quantity of wall and floor tiles or material you’ll need to purchase. It might be useful at this stage, as you’re working with a small bathroom space, to experiment by cutting to-scale templates of the sanitary ware and fittings and moving them around to test which variation works best. By doing this, you’ll be able to see if you can make better use of your space and what will actually fit.
If you’re renovating, you will also most certainly be working to a budget. If you’re trying to keep costs at a minimum, you may want to keep the lavatory in its original position and save the expensive task of rerouting the drainage. Other significant fittings may also need to stay in position due to drainage; however, you may want to replace them. If you desperately desire to move the lavatory, and the drainage can’t be moved, you should consider installing a macerator (Saniflo is a popular option) which will only require limited piping and is also helpful in new or loft bathrooms where there is no pre-existing plumbing in place.
Where can I find products to suit a small bathroom?
There are a variety of space-saving and compact small bathroom products on the market in the UK. Shires, Roca, Manhattan, April Showers, LWCC and Vitra are some major UK suppliers of products such as baths, shower baths, recessed shower enclosures, toilets and cloakroom sinks to suit a smaller bathroom. You can find these (along with their dimensions, to help with your planning) and other products to suit small bathrooms at BathroomTrade.co.uk, a reputable UK online Bathroom Store. You can even choose from a broad range of small bathroom and cloakroom suites to suit your style and budget.
Any other helpful tips?
It’s a good idea to speak to your plumber about your planned layout before you commence work. Your plumber will be able to advise on piping, drains and water pressure. A good plumber will most likely have been inside a number of small bathrooms, like yours, and may have some useful advice for placement of sanitary ware, basins and the lavatory – if you’re looking for inspiration or a bit of help.
In terms of space enhancement, simple additions like mirrors, light colours (tiles and floor), good storage and choosing wall hung sanitary ware can make your bathroom seem larger than it is. If you’re fortunate enough to get it, natural light also does wonders.
A small bathroom can be an asset to your home, and if you have a well-thought plan, get some credible advice and search out quality sanitary ware, you’ll be off to a good start!

I am going to a concert without any bathrooms. Its outside and I am bringing my kids. Any ideas for a bathroom? my kids a very shy and they really want to go. I checked and there are no bathrooms. Its a very small concert. I have 2 girls and a boy. One girl is 14 the other is 4 and a 2 year old boy. I don’t know what to do with the 14 year old. She really wants to go.
Usually there are Porta Potties at out door concerts. You can go in with your kids, but make sure you have a paper seat protector so you and the kids don’t get an infection.
