I am moving my own one bedroom apartment. I have a bathroom that is no wider then a standard shower/ washer and dryer put together. There is a sink, but no mirror. How can I make a sexy bathroom, where there will be a washer and dryer? I also can't paint the apartment, or do anything permanent. I was wondering if I could tile it myself, but how would I tile the walls and maybe the floor? with out it being permanent?

try using a tile wallboard. it looks like tile but goes up like paneling. it can also be taken right down and is inexpensive. there are some really good ones now that look really nice. plus you can do it quick without messing up. and some nice touches like paneling caulk to finish the seams nice will help.

Hi. Unfortunately a lot of options are permanent! But there are some other options to make your bathroom look great and sexy!
Here are a few options:
() Create a mirror: You can easily create a mirror. You can either purchase stick on mirror tiles (probably from a local hardware store or online) or just purchase a large hand mirror and saw/cut of the handle and glue to wall. Make sure you don't get a really strong hold glue!
() If there is a window or to put on mirror stick on tiles: with 'Klutz squirt in peel-off Color' you can write anything on your mirrors and windows or draw pictures too! You can even create a border around your mirror/window and best of all it peels off and is definitely not permanent.
() Keep it clean! If it's really clean, It looks sooo much better!
() Don't add any furniture that is not needed so you can place in a washer and dryer.
() Purchase a really nice bathmat. It adds a sexy feel to the room if it is a nice color! Just make sure it is a color that suits your personality.
() Photos! You can buy cheap frames from $10 to expensive good Moving photo displayer's for $200. Moving photo displayers add a nice feel to the place.
() Put your stuff in these sexy designed containers. http://www.containerstore.com/browse/index.jhtml;jsessionid=JLL0CQA1K4U3PQFIAILCM44AVABBOJVC?CATID=62526

Check with your manager or owner before you do anything that will damage the walls or floors. You will be held liable for any damage done to the unit. Try a nice rug instead of tile. Have your manager or owner install a mirror for you. And a couple plants and there ya go. A bathroom.

If you can't paint it, don't tile it. You can use pictures, plants, mirrors, colorful carpet, mosaic glass art piece, and perhaps wall paper in small area like crown molding. Keeping it clean will make it very sexy.

Make it sexier by using darker colors. Tile should be permanent so paint it. Be sure to prep the paint job first by smoothing out surfaces. Or you can try a nice natural color wallpaper.
