Would you change a sky blue bathroom suite ???

This - https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-36614267.html - is a bit over the top for me. I would be happy with the suite if the rest of the decor balanced the colours.

I would keep it, as its been said before, if it aint broken dont mend it.....

I had a lemon suite once and loved going into the bathroom in the morning because it made an otherwise dark room sunny.

Had a lovely stained advocado suite with carpeted bath surround (yuk remember that fad??) and beige/cream tiled walls when I bought this house, needless to say it was gone within the first year....

If its quite retro, this seems to be the fashion at the mo, can you style it around this?

Hi, I wonder if you could help settle an argument between me and hubby. We have a 70's style sky blue bathroom suite which is in excellent condition and is very high quality Keep it if there is nothing wrong with it. Daft to go through the hassle of changing it. Hubby however says that they are old fashioned and everybody hates them. Is everybody going to use your bathroom, what does it matter what everybody thinks, it's your bathroom. He wants to rip it out and change it for a modern white suite. I have a white suite and it's boring. He says we would never sell the house with this rubbish in it. When are you going to sell the house, next week, next year, in five years?

One question - would you keep or change? Thank you very much indeed. Keep it.

Good idea to post a photo here so people can see and give better advice.

I have a sky blue bathroom suite. It's in good condition but everything else (tiles, floor and ceiling are dire). When I get the money i'm going to change the suite as well though as it if i'm going to the trouble of replacing the bare bones i'm not going to put an old suite back in again (plus if that toilet seat ever breaks i'm going to have a right job on my hand to replace it as the toilet is square lol - and if the bath ever develops a leak i'm going to have to rip the tiles off the side - why tile a bath!). I quite like it though even though it wouldn't have been something i'd have chosen myself - it's just everything else that lets it down.

Put it this way, sky blue is better than the green of my other toilet!

Is the colour similar to mine?

I do like a white suite, but actually that is a very pretty understated blue. If yours is anything like this picture.
Like the others, I would avoid yellow at all costs, you need a neutral on the walls then you could jazz up with colours in the accessories.

Yeah, try having a beige suite... Beige carpet too. Ugh.

Two questions to start with: 1) do you actually like the sky blue colour? 2) are you planning to sell the house soon?

If you like the colour and have no imminent plans to sell, why change it just to follow a fad? You don't have to make your house exactly the same as everyone elses just to follow the herd.

Personally, I think white bathrooms are boring or clinical, but that's just my taste.

That is exactly how I would be thinking. If you aim to sell, then you either leave it, or replace it with something decent. No point replacing it with something cheap, which the new owners would want to rip out anyway!

Tasteful ... that isn't.
