My first impression is that the floor is the problem. All the wall tones could work with the dark unit. Ceilings (in my book) should always be white. Are the walls plastered ready to be painted ? It is a good colour to go with. Can you possibly change the floor? To match the unit, i.e. very dark or white? Lots of white towels. Consider frosted adhesive for the window. Is that to be a wall of mirror above the sink? You are so right not to continue in a way that makes you unhappy , you will get there. Inoor/ outdoor rugs are brilliant and may be a cheaper option covering the floor(black and white deign)

I agree that the floor was the wrong choice- is it too late to put down the same tiles that are on the walls?

Hello stefkah, I don't think the floor is that bad.. it would have been nice to carry tiling onto the floor and round the bath but you can make it work.. Maybe a wooden bath matt could be good too.. Think a stone or tile colour will be good on the walls.. I do like plaster colour but a stone colour would be nice.

What is it you want to do with the window? do you wish to paint the white surround? Is it wood or upvc. Either way you can paint it if you wanted to. There are products that paint over plastic if it's upvc (an undercoat) and then you can paint it the colour you like.. It could be nice to blend it into the tiles..

Perhaps you mean a blind? I think you could get a wooden venetian blind with tapes that would look nice here, they come in a variety of colours so you could find one that suits the tiles.... You could even do both..

When you box in the bath maybe you might want to tile that as well.. then you limit the white element... I'm guessing you have chosen a wall towel radiator... but a bamboo ladder could be nice as well to hang towels... : ))

Where would I be able to purchase the dark wood loo brush and accessories

Hello,

I would suggest you bring some sanctuary elements into your bathroom. Add some wooden objects! It s not all about designing an interior but also being creative and adding some decoration, ornaments or a piece of furniture that will be a great item to feature a style and not only.

In your case I would add a large mirror possibly with wooden frame, some little baskets, containers would look nice to have towels in, some floating shelves or a cabinet would look very nice on the left, especially cause it looks quite empty at the moment. You will need a blinder and I suggest you not to repeat a colour from what you have now. Try to add some depth to your space, consider a white or wooden item for blinding.

Otherwise looks nice and am sure you have soon a beautiful outcome!

Hello lynhannah, Amara online and Heals or the Conran shop would sell them, it's good to go and have a look.. They all have a good online presence too if a trip is not ideal.. but alternatively you may find something on Amazon from these sellers possibly or others or other online companies.. .. : ))

I am about to renovate my bathroom next week and have gone with really similar tiles and vanity unit (dark)! I think it is looking great. Agree about the floor (i had same floor and have opted to tile right through) but still you could use mats etc. Also I intend putting blind on window to tie in the dark unit somehow.

The floor isn't ideal but your rug will fix that. You need to be careful with your bath panel. Can that be custom made in marine ply and covered in one of the existing materials, tiles, wallpaper etc? Or else you will have another surface to contend with. I would most definitely paint the wall in a colour. If you have to have a white bath panel then paint the wall white. Then your panel, ceiling, rug and some other accessories will all tie the look together.

if your panel will be a browner shade then I would paint the wall a colour you like and buy accessories to match that will be scattered around to tie the look together.

if you have room, a towel ladder is a good way to feature nice towels and look spa like. Get one in brown or white depending on your choices.

To achieve a spa/sanctuary look, toiletries are often overlooked. Which is odd as they sit out nearly all the time. The Body Shop have a new spa range in lovely brown bottles, Polynesian smells. Or Neals Yard bottles are lovely. Heals have beautiful ranges.

Muji is also great for spa style, oriental feel accessories.Good luck.

I agree with jonathandb1972 is it too late to change the floor? It seems a shame to go to all the effort to redo the room and then end up with something you don't like. You are going to see it every day and more than once. It will 'pull' your energy ... not sure how else to explain it.

While you are still in progress it will be easier. It is such a nice bathroom in all the other ways and the floor kind of cheapens the rest as it stands out (like wearing the wrong shoes cheapens an outfit) . I'd consider using the textured tiles on that back wall, flowing down the side of the bath and then along the floor. They have a nice natural feel that will add to your sanctuary. Consider what you will likely regret later ... doing it or not doing it. You are likely to have that bathroom for a long time so it's up to you what will feel right longer term.

I don't think you need to add new elements. If you are able to change the floor you should tile it with the same tile you have already used on the walls so far. It will make the floor space appear bigger to have the tiles essentially climbing the wall, blurring the lines.

Hello stefkah,

You can make the floor work... wooden bath mat or have you thought of a cork mat or both! This could create a spa type feel too.. I think keep the idea of stone colour or something that's slightly darker but blends with the tiling is the way to go.. Not more white.. Adding splashes of dark woods here and there with little accessories will tie in the sink unit.. then lovely sponges and bathroom things to go with the ones I suggested earlier in the posting...... : ))

Hi Stefka,

The bathroom is coming along nicely. Is the bath panel a match to the sink base? What material is the floor, vinyl or wood? If it's wood and you're not happy with the colour, have you considered either bleaching it, then colour washing it to a similar colour to the tiles around the bath or staining it darker? (Going darker will make the bathroom seem smaller.)

To keep the textures and colours as simple as possible, paint the plaster walls a colour that is 2-3 shades lighter than the square wall tiles. A different colour will chop the room up more. A big mirror over the sink ledge, wall to wall, will make a huge difference to the feel of the room. It will reflect light all around and visually double the space.

Colour can be added through towels and accessories like special bottles for oils and lotions. Your tiles look to be a pinky beige so look at neutrals or pale turquoise. Dunelm Mill has a good selection http://www.dunelm.com/product/so-soft-zero-twist-towels-1000016871 or http://www.dunelm.com/product/egyptian-cotton-bathroom-collection-b01010

If you are overlooked and want privacy throughout the day and night, why not consider waterproof plantation shutters. They will give you light if you angle the louvres and total privacy at night. http://www.purelyshutters.co.uk/window-shutters/plantation-shutters/waterproof Because your window is in the shower area, fabric will rot and mildew very easily. Plastic shutters can be wiped down with ammonia and water in the course of cleaning the bathroom and allow access to the window for cleaning and ventilation.
