What to put on walls in downstairs toilet - what do you have?
Comments (15)Hi Dynamo, I'm responsible for the design in your photo and delighted you like the look of this room. You would only need a few square meters of the split mosaic tiles which are available of sheets, so not expensive for a striking feature. Also, easy to keep free of dust with a quick once over with a dust pan brush, or brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner . WC's are often overlooked but when you consider its a room you use every day and your guests use too, why not make it an enjoyable experience! An alternative and very inexpensive idea for your walls and my signature in practically every home I renovate, is installing 6mm MDF panelling with a 10mm shadow gap in between each panel, apply with Pink Gripfil adhesive. 600mm x 600mm square or horizontal panels of any height add a sense of depth and soul to boring flat, painted walls. A sheet of MDF is cheap as chips, just make sure you prime and undercoat thoroughly with a mini roller before applying eggshell finish or acrylic paint. It's not a main bathroom so not susceptible to humidity, therefore emulsion paint in a contrast shade will work well too. To see an example of panelling on a larger scale (Wenge stained Oak veneered MDF), take a look at the sitting room wall in the Chelsea Harbour apartment featured on my profile page....See MoreDownstairs layout advice - adding downstairs toilet
Comments (6)I was thinking of 2 ideas for the position of your toilet... the green option is great as it’s out of the way, under the stairs but reduces the middle room and the toilet pipes are far... Or the blue option: reduces your kitchen, but great for the pipe just above. It depends on many things... Do you have children, in that case, they might need space to play/toys... Do you want 2 dinning areas? Ie: breakfast and middle room... I would personally change the window in the middle room, for a French door... and take the wall off as you mentioned. This would create a nice spacious dining room. I would use the breakfast room as a comfy snug to watch my garden grow while reading a book with a coffee!...See MoreDownstairs toilet and kitchen diner - Please help
Comments (33)I drew it from the dimensions on your plan so if they are correct, then this is roughly to scale, so it should work. In saying that, I definitely recommend investing a bit of money getting someone to draw it all to scale before you start work so that you know exactly what is going where (this is something I do but it depends where you are based!). Costing depends totally on how easy it is to remove those walls which will need a structural engineer to have a look at. In terms of where you have moved things to, the kitchen hasn't moved far and the soil stack is nearby, so you shouldn't have to move services too far, which keeps the cost down as much as possible. Edited to add - I drew it from the 3.48m dimension and assumed all other rooms were scaled corrected from that. So my drawing depends on the original plan being to scale, not just your measurements! Edited again - your pan seems reasonably to scale so I think my drawing should be a pretty good indication, though not exact....See MoreWhere to add a downstairs toilet?
Comments (2)I think, as you will need to put in a new soil pipe, that you will need someone to come and look at the drains to find out the possibilities available to you ....See MoreJ C
