Please help with replacing bathroom carpet.
10 years ago
Our new house has a carpet in the bathroom installed by the previous owners which I'm very keen to replace asap as I think carpet in a bathroom is very unhygienic! I was considering putting down a wood effect karndean flooring but having obtained some samples I'm not sure they look right?! Any thoughts or suggestions for floor options very gratefully received. Also any suggestions for jazzing the room up are also most welcome. Thank you!

Something like this but a darker grey:
It also looks nice brushed. Here is the colour you could go:

Comments (14)I agree, make the plans and keep them. Also, we had a slightly similar problem - we used to live in a 5-bed house but as we don't like cooking or entertaining in the kitchen, we only put a lovely, small separate kitchen (the size you'd find in a 2-bed flat). That did put families off. However, we got several offers from people without children. It went for over the asking price within a week. I think it might be a similar for you. Also, families with small children need good access to the bath + extra storage for toys and other paraphernalia so your bathroom might struggle even with a bath in....See MorePlease help me improve our ensuite bathroom...
Comments (17)Thank you so much everyone for taking the time to comment. It's really tricky taking good photos as the space is so tight, but I will attach another photo and sketch to give a better idea of the space. Daisy- the photo was stretched, I didn't realise my portrait photo would be converted to landscape. So the sink is just set into a 50cm wide unit. I think the idea of moving the sink to the current bidet position is a good one, although as you'll see from the sketch there's very little wall on the left of the window so not much space for a mirror in front of the sink. Carolina- I love that photo! The bit I can't quite get is how the shower door would work if the shower head remained on the right (all the shower controls/electrics are on the other side of the wall, taking up space in a wardrobe!!) and the sink was on the left. whizzywig- the door opens out (my sketch should show it now) and the photo was taken from outside the door. I think the distance you asked for is 74cm. And yes, we queried the plumbing for a wc when we bought the house, but unfortunately it's not there - they said they didn't like the idea of a loo near their bed!!!...See Morebathroom color - help please
Comments (10)Hi Lovely, I'm loving the tiles in your bathroom and your floor tiles! So I'm with you on this one, go with your gut instinct and paint the walls blue. I suggest something along the lines of Stiffkey Blue, Oval Room Blue or Stone Blue - Farrow and Ball. Make sure you select Modern Emulsion which is designed for bathrooms and kitchen. I see there is dark blue, teals and a bit of green in your bathroom, I suggest you pick whatever works best with your tiles as they are the permanent fixture accessories don't have to be the exact matching shade as that blue. If you are painting the walls dark blue I would leave the blind as is because it has nice subtle detail and you don't want to add too much in such a small space. In terms of the accessories, I would group the plants together as well as any objects and place them in different corners. Sink area looks fine, again I wouldn't want to clutter that area. I would suggest replacing the mirror to something more modern and inline with your style. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions?

Comments (9)What an amazing bathroom! I'd suggest using a 90cm wide shower (and perhaps 90 deep and/or quadrant/corner, because of wet feet when stepping out in front of doorway), as there's 10cm on the side for the toilet drain (and some hacking into the chimney plaster to get to 110mm pipe +surround*). Then 80cm width for the toilet. Which leaves 100cm for a vanity. *) and if you can find some of these architraves+alike, you could widen the chimney breast so the 10cm won't look lost. The positive with a faux low wall (for toilet cistern) behind the vanity, is that any dresser can be turned into vanity without losing too much drawer space, as the drain+gooseneck can go behind instead of through. And a cabinet over the bath would not be ideal, just use the vanity drawers and for the smaller things hang some sleek looking mirrored medicine cabinets. Perhaps a towel rack above the bench. Or replace the bench for a storage bench or chest....See More
10 years ago- 10 years agoWe removed our porcelain tiles from the bathroom as we found them too cold. We had intended to use Karndean or Amtico but found we actually decided on a cushioned vinyl from Gerflor. I was initially concerned that it would be a retrograde step but it's been perfect for us.
