Pink bathsuite - wall colour advice needed

The bath suite in the flat I recently purchased is the original late 1960's pink . Whilst personally I would have preferred avaocado you get what you get and in the long run it will be ripped out anyway.

Anyway, once I've got the kitchen spruced up, the bathroom is next. A complete refit is out until I have the finances, so i'm looking for some advice on wall / floor colours that will help tone down the pink bathsuite in the interim. it's a small bathroom (2.4m x 1.8m) with no windows.

All ideas welcomed.

It will seem less pink if you have strong colours to overwhelm it. However, this does not have to be in the wall decoration. Deep red/burgundy towels, mats and blinds will do it.

If you keep a bathroom's walls fairly light and warm neutral, you can change the colour feel more easily by changing those removable items at whim.

Agreed with John there. I have literally just removed by pink suite but had to live with it for 2 years. The chap who owened the house before me had pink wall paper to match (you can imagine how bad that looked!) I stripped the wall paper and went with a light magnolia, this made the room look a lot lighter and some how managed to tone down the pink suite a bit.

Tom, what I currently have is not all that dissimilar to what you used to have - badly painted pink (over grey I think). And whoever did the decorating had too much artex to spare as all the walls and ceiling are covered with it. That nice pointy stuff too - try falling against that when you get out of the bath !!! .

Maybe I should give magnolia a go - it is the colour I am using in the rest of the flat first time round. An aunt of mine who is good at this kind of thing recomended white, but as a bloke I want to mute the pink and not highlight it.

Last question - to chrome or not to chrome...
