Large tiles in small bathroom
Comments (12)That is very kind of you both. Thank you so much! Sadiya, just to let you know, I purchased the tiles in Porcelanosa's June sale at 40% off and I quizzed the staff about when the next sale would be as I have a few more bathrooms to do. They said that they usually have another sale in September, although they are never told dates until they happen (probably because of customers like me!). Every year they always seem to have a sale then, so to keep my eye open to order my next lot. Just thought I would mention it in case you wanted to take a chance and wait few weeks to get a discount!...See MoreBathrooms - fully or partly tile?
Comments (8)We got rid of the tiles in our shower enclosure. I was sick to death of cleaning them. Instead we have put Nuance by Bushboard up and it's brilliant. Use BB Complete as the adhesive and sealant and it's guaranteed 3 years. I would never ever tile in one again. We do have some tiles behind the basin but that's all as the other walls are emulsion. My son has just completed his shower room and he too has had Nuance in the shower enclosure and as he has cupboards all around for storage he has a grey worktop over them and upstands. Looks great and modern. He's delighted. With so much choice in sheet panels I wouldn't faff with tiling....See MoreWhich paint should I use for my small windowless bathroom?
Comments (6)There are a lot of creative downstairs loos out there! Coloured sanitaryare would look great with some mad wallpaper in a pocket-sized space. I'm trying to create a restful space without seeming too chilly. Picking the right paint and to tie everything in is tricky. As you say, if I choose something with too much yellow it will be magnified in the small space. The upside is that if I get it wrong I don't have so much repainting to do........See MoreSmall en-suite bathroom, to tile or to wallpaper...
Comments (6)Personally I would put large tiles on the floor as well as in the shower, as herringbone will mean a lot of grout lines on the floor to get grubby. Then you could use the herringbone tiles on the wall behind the sink and make a feature of that wall? And/or on the wall above the bath (though it would be a hell of a job for the tilers with that slope, but can be done)? The bath panel could be either the large tiles or the herringbone. What’s the plan for the black long tiles - I like the idea of using those somewhere, maybe on the false wall behind the loo? Black herringbone as a nod to the white herringbone but to give a contrasting colour. Are the marble tiles real marble, or porcelain marble style? They are lovely by the way. If they are real marble I would be a little wary of using them in the shower as they are porous and may stain or spall, also mineral deposits can leach out causing rust stains especially with all those lovely veins. Calacatta is a particularly porous marble, more so than Carrara for example. If they are real then I would limit them to wall use (the sink wall and possibly the wall behind the bath as I say above) and perhaps use the black herringbone in the shower instead?...See More
