Pink Bathroom in Rented Apartment. What to Do?
This is my pink bathroom. The apartment is a rental, so I can't retile. What can I do to hide it or change its color?
Hobby Lobby has a crazy selection of decorative duct tape, wide or thin, solid colors too. People use it to decorate just about anything. I would use that if you wanted to make it look metallic or like metal. Otherwise, paint it so it blends in. My dad's bathroom has the same sink so I know what you're talking about.
Sorry, I think if you took a piece of the foam pipe wrap (it's like a pool noodle with a slit on one. When you put it on have the slit facing the wall. The idea I'm having is to make the visibility of the pipe greater. So, before putting it on, because like it'd quite off putting. Apply several coats of Mod Podge brand Gloss Coat, that's the one that has an orange label and looks like a bottle of glue, you can not use the spray kind because those typically have butane, acetone, or both, and it'd just melt the foam. After building the protective layer, the world is your oyster... Had to, I would apply something like Plastidip to it. You can do a layer painting on it, and match it to your bathroom. For example if your metals are a style like brushed aluminum, like your spigot and toilet handle and what not is to, you can make it stand out intentionally as a tie in color to the accents. Another possibility would be to to make it the exact same look (color/finish /Et cetera) for example if the pedestal is the porcelain white, high Gloss, you can make it match, to the T. Personally even for the white I would do a base coat with the high Gloss black Plastidip. I've done quite a few different items with Plastidip and putting a dark glossy base under a light finished high Gloss, really makes it pop, gives it a little life. Nowhere the same if you're finishing it up with a Matte or satin. I think having be an accent rather than a match to blend would be much more appealing and can used as a tie in for a spaced out color that's meant to be a full accent color for the room. There's my idea, figured I'd give two different detailed variations of the basic concept. Hope you find it interesting.
My sister has this same issue. We built a “U box”
Painted white to hide these. It fits between the ceramic stand with the USide up against the wall.
I have a shelf that runs up to the sink pipes and I put two decorative bottles right up next to the pipes. The bin is the other side. What about decorative vases with faux flowers?
I used two large wire vases on either side, sitting on the floor. Filled with moss, and then put large fake fern in each one. Looks pretty and you cant see the pipes at all-quick and easy!
painted to match wall for now. Looks ok. Will buy me some time while I try other options. Still thinking about cutting a piece of plastic gutter, Or a planter. Sink is beside a window. Live plant is an option.
what about making a sink skirt? Either all the way around, or just on the sides? Use Velcro to stick to sink.
