Boring white bathroom suites. AAGGHHHH

Merlot

I have a new build house, 3 years old, I have two white bathroom suites and the ensuite is peach, it is from Ideal Standard, I personally don't think much of it, but I cannot justifying removing a suite because of the colour, I have added a dark laminated floor and added chocolate brown accessories and it looks warm, much better I must say than the family bathroom which is a white suite, with white walls and white/black/grey wall tiles and black/white ceramic floor - it looks too clinical, but I cannot justify removing the wall tiles, so I have had to work with it.

Try this website, they apparently will colour any white bathroom suite for youhttp://www.bathroom-ceramics.co.uk/discontinued_colours.html

I'll have an extremely tasteful pink one you could have soon when I replace it with a boring white one!!

I am sure the only reason everyone fits them is because that is the only colour available. Even if you want a different colour you are stuffed.

I think the idea is that you use the decor for colour e.g. walls, tiles, rug, accessories etc. If you want to change the colour of your bathroom, you just change the decor - which is cheaper and far more convenient than having to rip the suite out!

It's like 'Confessions of A Coloured Bathroom suite in here'!

I must admit, I knew a girl a couple of decades ago and they had an avocado suite and it was magnificent, quite a large bathroom with lots of plants and green and white tiles.
We didn't get a proper indoor bathroom at home till the early eighties and my mum chose a pampas one (sort of a pale greeny/cream colour) and never ever found tiles that either complemented or matched it. The house I bought had a champagne coloured suite that always looked grubby so I always lusted after a plain white one.

My Mum has a brown suite in her downstairs loo. Well not brown, it's called "mink" and I'd say it's a nice mocha colour, like a cup of rich hot chocolate. I quite like it. Over the years the walls have been peach, which goes with it a treat and makes it look nice and warm, duck egg blue - quite trendy with brown at the moment, and she is now planning to go all cream, with red accessories.
Maybe it works so well because it's a small room.

After having a blue bathroom in the 'old' place for 30+ years the joy of moving on and finding our dream home with a white bathroom... although we did gut it out recently to make way for a new shower room...white of course!

The late 60's blue number had blue tiles half way around and the paint work was Dark Purple to match the Walls of course:eek: with a plastic off -white sliding door that worked well for a year and then started to split on the folds but was a great space saver idea:rolleyes: .

White is probably better than all those foul Pink or Green suites you see in skips.

euw cant think of anything worse in a bathroom than coloured suites ( hmm except maybe carpets!)

why would you want to restrict yourself by having a coloured suite ?

at least if you have white,it wont date,goes with every colour you wish to add on walls / flooring etc

and it wont offend anyone if /when you came to sell the property

white appeals to most

apart from you and sav4it

A friend of mine, several years ago accepted an offer of a yellow suite from a builder who had taken it out of a house and he assumed it would be a sort of pale yellow colour. When it arrived it was the kind of vivid yellow you get on sweet wrappers on Roses chocolates, bright golden yellow:eek:

I do recall this colour in my parents house. Not long ago ripped out I have to say - I think it was called sun something-or-other. Not wrong there - as if you were in the heart of it!! Their downstairs toilet is turquoise (I have to say - not that bad with the colours they have in there), and the upstairs bathroom was pink until last year (now replaced with white).
We have just moved from "Indian Ivory" suites and they were quite nice. The whole development (done 15 years ago) were done with "whisper peach", "whisper grey", "indian ivory"...none were white at all. I have googled "whisper peach" bathrooms, and come up with this

I didn't have time to look through them all, but if its the muted shades you were after, this might help.
