The most hideous bathroom suite I have ever seen...

I dont mind that pale blue one, but sorry poster the pine would have to be painted tout sweet.

We haven't got round to it yet. We've been too busy getting rid of the pine cladding on the kitchen walls and ceiling! I would have ripped out the cladding in the loo, and possibly kept the suite, but there's no cistern lid under it all.

I'm just happy to have a second loo.

I quite liked the colour of the suite in the OP, I also quite like burgundy. The worst colours I have seen were dark brown and even worse acid yellow. We were quite prepared to buy the bungalow with the acid yellow suite, but it would have been the first thing we ripped out.

These colours and styles are all relative, arn't they?
A blind person or somebody in the African wastelands would simply be grateful to have a bath in which to wash, and a toilet in which to "go", which just shows exaggerated our "must have" versus our "nice to have" attitude to material comforts has developed in the civilised world.

That's very true, but I think this thread is just a bit of lighthearted fun at past interior styles. Whether we laugh at these bathrooms or not will not unfortunately change the plight of a blind person or somebody in the African wastelands.

brandy93 - yes, that's perfectly true, and in a lighthearted vein, I can add our own horror story, although not about bathrooms. In the first marital home we bought as hard-up newlyweds, the hideous wallpaper in every room had been stuck on with carpenters glue - (the seller had worked in a carpentry workshop!) It took three long years of sandpapering, scraping, soaking and sanding to remove it all, by which time we'd gouged countless holes in the plaster underneath. We swore we would NEVER EVER have wallpaper in any house we lived in again, and we haven't. I can't tell you how many prospective houses we immediately walked out of when prospecting for a new home as soon as we'd entered the hallway!
What are other peoples' pet hates in houses?

I kind of remember something about Elsie Tanner getting a pink bathroom suite in an ancient episode of Corrie. I'm pretty sure Hilda or Ena Sharples called her a tart or something for having one. Feel free to correct me, but I definitely recall something along those lines.

Here are some discontinued colours. I have seen a couple of bathrooms with 2-tone suites, where the bath, sink and loo are shaded, usually burgandy or brown. They were all the rage here in the 80s.

I can see the humour in this and some i was like ewww, but do you know what, the more i think about it, the more id actually have any of them over my current bathroom.

Which is thanks to my OH who like most people wants so save £££ and decides to re tile the bathroom himself. I now have a concrete floor awaiting tiles, so nice this time of the year and a bare wall awaiting tiles.

I do have a white sink,toilet and bath though, but i can't bare the state of how it looks. Im now trying to convince him that we need to save up and get someone in who knows how to tile.

Wow, that's hideous! :eek:

The scalloped edges look a bit like extremely pale unbaked pie or pasty crust.
