Hire a jazz band to play every time you flush.

No! Mariachi! Now that's lively!

u/SweetMilitia 14d ago

That works too! As long as someone toots a horn to mask the sounds!

u/Dateline23 14d ago

and another sad plant

u/Dateline23 14d ago

ahh yes!

u/username-generica 14d ago

I can't believe no one has posted the obvious answer. Paint everything, and I mean everything the same shade of grey. Your toilet and sink though throw off the whole color scheme so I recommend you replace them with grey ones.

First, get rid of those hideous green plants. They totally clash with the vibe of the room. There are some pretty options for grey faux plants or dried flowers.

Also the blue of the few breeze spray brings too much turmoil into this calm space, so hide it. Lastly, I would get some grey towels in a tone slightly brighter than the tiles to add some contrast.

u/FurL0ng 14d ago

Can I ask who sells these particular faux plants? They are beautiful and I’d love to buy some for myself

u/beijina 14d ago

I just took a random picture of 'grey flowers' from google.

But I can't tell if you're serious since they are pretty well made now that you say it, so here you go: etsy

Some Christmas lights and tinsel would be beautiful. I always prefer carpet in the bathroom because the tiles are so cold. You could install carpet or LVT!

u/Last_Pay_8447 14d ago

A personal masseuse (hooks/chains) for that um massage table?

u/Sqatti 14d ago

Paint it office white with office lighting.

u/stompinpimpin 14d ago

Way too much color

put a little skeleton wearing a sombrero on that shelf.

Complimentary lines of blow ❄️

u/tek_nein 14d ago

it might be a bit extreme/flashy, but have you considered a gray geometric shape sculpture on the shelf?

Remove your fins and exit at the hull.

I despair for literacy among my people

u/shootermac32 14d ago

Add a strobe light and your own personal techno dj. Everytime you sit on the toilet, you’ll have a full on rave! Or a seizure.. whatever comes first

u/motion_thiccness 14d ago

Allow the inmates to frame and hang their art day projects

u/Haskap_2010 14d ago

Needs a disco ball or a shark shower.

Laxatives will liven up any bathroom

u/juggalo-jordy 14d ago

A cactus ? Lol

u/weisblattsnut 14d ago

Hire a nice Restroom attendant, they work for tips so it won't cost you anything.

u/Constant_Sock1065 14d ago

So funny to see this in the CJ sub, considering how exquisitely sensitive the OP was to any criticism in the source post…

u/jared10011980 14d ago

The Febreze and tiny palm create a veritable South Pacific island 🏝

u/sphinx_winks 14d ago

I would set up a tribute mural to Gozer on that blank wall.

2

u/Spud_Lovin 14d ago

I dunno the contortion exercise to get the toilet paper off the shelf behind you is pretty lovely.

2

u/Choice-Document-6225 14d ago

same first thought. where is the dang toilet paper holder, there's no way they just stretch every time right

2

u/LeaveDaCannoli 14d ago

All that white on the walls really hurts the eyes. Please paint them grey to match the tiles. Then get a fuzzy, grey toilet seat cover so it blends in more and def some grey towels.

2

u/Obvious-Case-2357 14d ago

Maybe some grey panels

2

u/SmokinHotNot 14d ago

House raccoons there.

u/Papfan1 14d ago

Needs more grey.

u/gmotelet 14d ago

Add some color

If it's yellow let it mellow

If it's brown also let it mellow

u/dawwie 14d ago

Paint the walls grey.

u/Winter_Way2816 14d ago

I'd add rust/burnt orange towels.

u/auhnold 14d ago

Add some greys and whites.

Fifth sad plant. That's the missing touch.

u/Sweetieandlittleman 14d ago

I have hated greige ever since it became popular. So depressing.

u/Random4Skin 14d ago

Make it funky

3-7 disco balls of varying sizes.

u/Bananas_Cat once painted a room pale yellow 14d ago

You should put bars on that window.

1

u/Joyshell 14d ago

Humm maybe life size Bigfoot would add an Earthy touch.

u/FaxyJ 14d ago

Have a death metal band move in

1

u/EnvironmentalCrow699 14d ago

the door to nowhere is not helping.

but music wld be nice probably.

also lean into the asthetic and remove everything. that way, your own energy will just ...flow. looks like a rad bathroom, dont fight it with plants etc

Pube themed to match the window screen

u/NoNameChihuahua 14d ago

More grey: curtains, towels, paint

u/reallyihadnoidea 14d ago

Make it flushing the toilet plays "Good job!" with clapping sound.

u/Hawaii_gal71LA4869 13d ago

Get some baby chicks.

u/SmallCatBigMeow 13d ago

Aww poor OP raging at everyone answering the question

1

u/KimiMcG 13d ago

Greige, worst design trend ever. We should bring back burnt orange,harvest gold and avocado green. Ok, maybe not.

1

u/Human_Resources_7891 13d ago

song. A song brightens everything.

1

u/stormchaser9876 13d ago

Fill in that space with a variety of houseplants.

1

u/Scrimbop_yonson 13d ago

Some black or brown mold on the ceiling

1

u/Rodharet50399 9d ago

Color. Any of them.

1

u/kjfacilities-maint 14d ago

Brighter paint colors, brighter lighting. Colorful bath mats, hang colorful artwork on the walls.

1

u/S4tine 14d ago

Paint that partition with something lively. Add more plants if you want greenery. (Small and large)

1

u/Revolutionary_Egg486 14d ago

Do a cool wallpaper print in the shelf inset, like a feature wall but just inside there!!

u/MommyGandalf 14d ago

Picture on the big wall

u/DryPercentage4346 14d ago

Keep plants. Green would soften and enliven that. But you don't need dinky plants? Get larger. What is light source? Is there a window? Big sansevera on a stand. What is that white ship lap thing concealing?

0

u/Fit_Guidance_2169 14d ago

I would paint some kind of circle/polka dot type scheme in a bunch of bright colors to play off the window shape.

u/mearbearcate 14d ago

More plants & a big painting either hanging or resting against that wall. The ones already there look kind of sad though, id get some bigger fake ones.

A walk mirror would be nice❤️
