Bathroom makeover using wallpaper

EdithHobbs

finished bathroom

This was a 1970's bathroom that needed upgrading. We started by painting  the walls a navy blue and the cabinet to match in a gloss navy blue. As we live by the Ocean I thought  a fun and whimsical ocean theme would be appropriate. The wallpaper features jelly fish with navy background. The basin is a silver whale fruit bowl converted to a basin. The granite bench top is left over from our kitchen reno. It was a very economical revamp!

Hi @EdithHobbs,

Thank you for sharing your bathroom renovation project.

You've created a wonderfully unique bathroom that the ocean lovers of the world will surely be envious of.

That wallpaper is brilliant, and it blends perfectly with the tiled splashback, the granite benchtop and the navy-blue cabinet.

Congratulations on another fantastic project.

Jacob
