When I replace the fussy shower curtain hooks and add a new liner. Feels like a bathroom upgrade!

This trim keeps falling out and growing mold. Does my plan make sense?

1. Remove old trim, clean mold, dry for one week
2. Place back rod in gap
3. Caulk with silicone.

Let me know if you have better ideas.

Edit: the gap is like a half inch so just caulk will not fill it

Is it possible to replace this with the rain shower head without any modifications?
If possible, please advise with links to purchase. Thanks

So I bought this house recently. This master bathroom was renovated maybe 10 years ago, nothing feels mismatched per se, however, it just seems off. Im pretty sure it's the wall colour, but I'm afraid of ruining the scheme by touching anything.

Has anyone else run into this issue? The replacement shower cartridge doesn't fit the shower valve, even though it's supposed to be the correct replacement (new version from 2022).

Were you able to find the older version anywhere, or is there a workaround to make the new cartridge fit? I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions from anyone who's dealt with this.

I can also do one for the floors and one for the walls (I think?) I don’t know please help, I’m driving myself crazy 🤪

Does this look like a correct installation? I know they only set water test to half height but looking at the corners.

Getting our main bathroom renovated soon. No space for separate bath and shower, will have a decent shower in our en suite too. I like a bath and good for the baby so we need a bath/shower combo. Does this semi free-standing bath look weird? Bathroom 1600mm wide, this bath is 1500mm. My husband isn't convinced. Not sure if it will work or if I need to accept our bathroom won't work with the free-standing look at all. Appreciate thoughts!

Which of these bathroom aesthetics would be the best? This is for a small one person dorm bathroom! I wanted to pick an aesthetic and stick with it for the bathroom! Also you can suggest other options!

Caulk was slowly coming off so I just pulled it ALL off around bottom and black junk and mold just came pouring out( probably why I'm always cleaning mold off ceiling for years now ).. I then pulled off the top white covering and it came down pretty easy but THIS does not look good or smell good and it's only bathroom. I have NO idea what this is or where to begin;( Please help??

So I'm having a curbless shower created (since my existing weird roman tub is already below grade, so no digging is required)... and I asked my contractor if they could use the same 12 x 24 larger format tile from rest of bathroom, into the curbless shower zone itself. They said yes.

When I get the initial plans, it seems they are keeping the drain relatively centered in the zone and NOT using a linear drain... I mentioned that another contractor I had considered had intended to use a linear drain at back of shower (so it could be sloped to the back and large tiles wouldn't be an issue). He said doing a linear drain would be more work and about $1.2k extra for linear.

He said they are used to doing diagonal cuts on 12 x 24 tiles to create proper slope for centered more typical drains.... But now I'm wondering if that will look weird, or if it's actually harder to do correctly with the larger diagonal cut pieces?

Wondering now if using interior smaller hex tiles in the shower section would look better or be more reliable/easier to install properly (longer lasting)???

The tiles are both from Floor & Decor's Capri Oyster line:

Ultimately, I'm second guessing whether it is advisable to use the 12 x 24 in the curbless shower section - and whether I'd be happier with results with the matching (slightly more expensive) hex tiles in that section around a center drain (than diagonal cuts on larger tiles).

Seeking and advice you might have? And obviously any experience with F&D's Capri line of tiles (which are rectified, color body, and commercial grade supposedly)

Owner; lived here for years and getting really tired of feeling like I still live in a college apartment that I'm going to move out of every spring. Slowly working my way through my unit trying to pull it together, and I'm stumped for what to do with the bathroom because of the colors and limited wall space. (I will not be undertaking replacing the vanity, tiles, or mirror, I sadly don't have that kind of time right now).

First two photos are the view of the bathroom from the bathtub using all lights and then just my mirror lights (warm dim bulbrite 3000K - 1800K 500 lumens). Everything feels too peachy/yellow, so I want to spruce up the walls. The third photo is the view from my kitchen; door is almost always open because of cats needing access to litter box.

• I really like the idea of going dark and doing a really large floral wall mural, examples from Graham & Brown attached, but a) this is a daily use bathroom, and I'm worried about any wall murals causing mold or peeling; b) every wall has a giant cut-out either for the doors or for the mirror, which is an exceptional waste of $$ to buy a wall mural and then throw out half of it (bc it's not a repeating pattern like standard wall paper). The few designs I did like don't come in vinyl (hence the mold/peeling issue).
• I really don't like the repeat pattern of wallpaper. It triggers something primal in my soul that I can't put my finger on. Also, again, worried about mold and peeling.
• I thought about painting a dark color and then trying to stencil my own floral artwork, but I know I'm not going to get the shading and lighting right because I'm not an artist. And I don't want a flat 1-D or 2-D stencil, I would use a multi-layered stencil to get more vibrant colors and definition, but if I purchase a bunch of random stencils (examples from AlteNew) and put them together, I don't think it'll be right in terms of where colors are lighter/darker, if that makes sense. I can't find any large stencils that fit the bill, any stencils I find are a single layer (which makes it fall flat for what I'm looking for) or intended to be a repeat pattern.

So that leaves me with zero inspiration after a month of trying different things, and even if I just do a flat wall, I'm still stuck on wall color for paint. What complements the cherry red vanity, the ick yellow-ish granite countertop, the peach-y ish tile, AND, the navy blue towels? (I just bought those towels and they are divine and I'm not giving them up lol).

Oh shoot - out of order, I also took a picture of the tiny tiles in the shower, and a close-up of the vanity and counter, for color matching.

Any help/inspiration would be so greatly appreciated!!!!

There are two installed on my bathroom vanity above the counter and below the mirror. Google lens says they are for a shower attachment but it is installed above the sink?

This one was basically taken back to the studs. Same narrow footprint, but totally different feel now.

We went with dark herringbone on the walls, brass fixtures, a rain head, and a lighter stone floor/niche so it wouldn’t turn into a black box. I know dark tile in a small shower isn’t for everyone, but here it makes the space feel more intentional instead of cramped.

Fox Bath here — we do bathroom remodeling around Seattle, and I wanted to share this before/after with the Reddit community.

Would you have kept the dark tile, or gone lighter?
