To the professionals,

In a holiday apartment, the bathroom walls are tiled in dark colors. Now, more light reflection is desired. We are looking for a simple and cost-effective way to brighten up the rather small room, approximately 1.50 m x 3.0 m (5 ft x 10 ft), without retiling the walls.

It would be even easier to cover the tiles with a film. There are almost every conceivable design available, and you won’t see it afterwards....

But the grout lines are still visible.........

That’s definitely something you would find in a tradesmen’s forum. You can also just Google it yourself.
I wouldn’t have thought of that now 😎

The joints can be smoothed with fine filler. Just search for bathroom renovation on YouTube. There are plenty of ideas available.
