After, the before is just plain boring.

I really do like it...the dark walls add a touch of class. Simple fix. Thinking of doing something like that in my bath. Thanks

I like the before one better but it needs better art. The navy one looks cluttered and claustrophobic to me. It's trying too hard...

I like both, but the "after" looks very masculine to me. The first is nice, but I would switch out the picture and maybe put a new coat of paint, replace the toilet paper holder with the basket in the "after" picture and be happy. The "after" could work, but I would remove all the pictures and put one large piece of art in it's place and loose the rug and wicker shelf.

Interesting that with both, they kept the same mirror.

I like the "after" better, just a few less pictures.

The "after" looks better to me....but I would have only the horse picture above the toilet tank, and choose 3 of the other pictures for the other wall. There's way too many on the walls right now.

I like the after better, but I would not use as many pictures, and I probaly would have opted for a lighter color for the walls and flooring.

@lolakimono

I like both, the before if it is for a second home, a summer place, because it looks easy to clean and very sterile once cleaned.

The after, for me, because it is beautfiul and complex. I am complex and can appreciate the beauty of the room.

I gag when I see you have to pick up the roll of toilet paper to get some.

That means someone else has picked it up and unrolled some off, again and possibly again (and again).

They haven't washed their hands yet, remember.....

After is striking, but not sure about pictures so close to the toilet bowl.

Neither. The first is non-descript and the towels on the back of the toilet are an absolute no.

The second is too cluttered and ditto for the books and perfume bottle on the back of the toilet. I do like the wall color in the second picture though.

The funny thing is, in the first photo, the mirror shows that stand of some sort against the other wall with plates displayed and that perfume bottle, along with a lamp. Do people really clutter up their bathrooms with that kind of stuff? I want minimalist, easy to clean!

The 1st one but I would have to change the picture. That's not a bathroom pic IMO. It looks nice & clean. Hate the 2nd one. Way too much on the wall for me. I hate the clutter look. It's too dark.

Was going to say the same thing. I don't mind the darker walls in the after but really don't care for the collage of pictures...it's too busy for my taste!

I'd choose the after given a forced choice. Neither of them does much for me but the after version at least looks more finished.

I like them both but like the first for a home and the second for a bed and breakfast type place.

The first one is calming and lets me think, the second is interesting and has things to look at.

Neither are my cup of tea but the after is much more visually interesting.

After. Before was safe and boring. A powder rooms needs drama! The dark walls and trim that match the floor bring it. The equestrian pictures are OK.

I love dramatic wallpaper in a powder room, too.

Having all that stuff by the toilet is nasty. Sorry but that's my take on it. Ewwwwww!

The dark color does make the room look bigger though.
