How can a single guy decorate with pink fixtures? Can not afford to remodel at this time but need to make this manly.:wall:

I'm not a designer but I think I'd pair it with a dark blue (maybe Navy) or a dark green (maybe olive) or a dark yellow (maybe mustard) to bring in a masculine look.
I wouldn't use black because I see black and pink in teenage girl's rooms all the time. :D

I dunno what type or how many fixtures you have, but if it was me, rather than camouflauge the problem with paint, I'd trash the pink stuff all together. Sometimes you can find a few nice replacement fixtures that can cost cheaper than a gallon of paint if cost is your concern.

I was talking about accessories, such as towels and shower curtains. I'm pretty sure he also has pink tiles and a pink bathtub, both of which a replacement will cost more than paint and accessories.

Chocolate brown paired with pink would work as well. Pink pairs well with greys, tans, black, navys and other blue tones. Pink is very calming. It's not just for girls. A pink shirt on a guy can go far in attracting the increasingly fashion-savvy female population.

Thank you for your replies. It is my son whom purchased his first home. (I am quite proud of him; twenty two)
I must admit I have seen some guys in pink shirts that I thought looked sexy. Looking at it from that point of view; makes it easier to deal with.
Oh, it is the toilet, sink, tub and tile.
Thank you again.:)

you can hide the tub and tile surrounding it with a shower curtain. you can paint any vertical wall tile fairly successfully. you can cover floor tile with wall-to-wall bathroom carpet. but the sink & toilet will have to remain, but that's only 2 things. burgundy, navy & gray would be good colors to use for the softgoods.
