Answer 1

the 3 main colors in the one you want are black  white and red , paint the walls a brite white, you can replace the top of the vanity with black  counter and paint the woodwork black also, top and red accents like towels and shower curtain. your bathroom is painted and done with neutral colors because it will appeal to the largest number ob buyers. if your going to resell it is best to try and appeal to the masses. if not then knock yourself out and personalize it

Answer 2

Well, some paint on the walls, maybe with a fancy finish, a new floor (we have some linoleum that looks like slate which wasn't very expensive), nice shower curtin, more mirrors and lights would be an inexpensive makeover and not too hard to do.

Answer 3

Paint the walls a nice colour, buy a large mirror to go all along the counter top.  See if you can run to glass doors for the bathtub shower although they are expensive.  A nice tall vase in a vivid colour with dried flowers etc.  on the counter top.  Complementary or contrasting towels etc.

Answer 4

if you would paint and change the light fixtures u wouldn't believe the difference it would make

Answer 5

I love your taste in the pic you like .... I'd love a bathroom like that too - your bathroom looks fine though - I'd gladly swap!! Mine wants ripping out. If I had yours I would paint the walls a deep raspberry but keep the ceiling white and also maybe  go for a white floor - as many mirrors or a few nicely shaped mirror tiles and subtle lighting if possible and a couple of green leafy plants in places and it would look stunning I'm sure .
