The article discusses a bathroom renovation by Melanie Cooke, who transformed a dated, worn-out white space into a striking room with red tones against lilac pink. Despite her enthusiasm for the bold color choices, Melanie shared her regret about the choice of floor tiles, which were meant for walls and caused issues. The process included significant structural updates, including re-plastering and replacing old materials, with assistance from her father in building covers for visible pipes. The renovation reflects a vibrant style but also serves as a cautionary tale about material selections.
"I wanted the darker colour to really pop in there against the lilac pink," Melanie says on Instagram. And banishing the beige is precisely what she did in this little space.
She describes the before as 'white, sad, and a bit dirty,' and it hadn't been updated since 1980. 'Everything was old and rotting,' Melanie adds.
'The guy in the tile shop warned me,' Melanie says on Instagram. 'I still did it anyway. One thing that hasn't helped is the floor.'
They ripped everything out and had the bathroom re-plastered, and Christian installed red checkerboard floors.
