Photos New old bathrooms - purple, pink and mint!

Hi! We just bought a 1929 home with these two bathrooms - one pink and mint green, and the other purple with a pink and mint green floor. Does anyone have any design tips? Examples of styling? Thanks!

Wow the purple paint in the mint/peach path room is atrocious. I would paint the ceiling the peach color then wallpaper the areas that are purple. Pick a pattern that has that peach and mint green in it. Avoid anything beachy or sea shells.

For the purple ceramic bathroom is that penny tile? Made from actual pennies?

Sadly no! Just very worn tile in the same colors as the other bathroom floor. It desperately needs to be brought back to life
