Comments (16)Steph I really like the vanity unity design, however as you mentioned that there is very little space and having a unit like in the photo you won't be able to utilize the space underneath it too much. I also noticed , that you already installed new window so not much you can do about it.Depending on the wall length( where you planning to have vanity unit) , maybe an option with semi recessed sink and wall hung toilet would work?like in the photo,but there are plenty of examples on the houzz https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/london-wembley-modern-bathroom-london-phvw-vp~115845783 you would free up the space under the window and could have radiator there Good luck and look forward to see photos once it's finished...See MoreHelp!

Comments (5)Thank you so much - yes it seems that most go for a white look with the black so perhaps we need to consider this and add colour in other places! I like the blue above though that's nice. And perhaps it's more about going for a herringbone style or hexagon to make it feel a bit different with a white/grey tile....See MoreHelp with bathroom tile design
Comments (30)Hi, if you did that, the box would be a very prominent feature and unless the box was the same width as the window sill you would have one surface slightly wider than the other which would look unbalanced so ideally I would leave around 100mm - 150mm between the two surfaces as in the photo. That said, it does depend on the height of the window sill from the floor. These details can be difficult to call which is why we use software and get a 3D visualisation. In answer to your second question, yes you could use chrome or satin nickel finish strip or a glass pencil tile to finishes the top of a tile very nicely and avoid that awkward edge created with a ceramic tile. You could use the strip on its own or with a mosaic of some sort - the pink and grey scheme was an Art Deco style set we did for a bathroom showroom. Chrome strip is versatile and can be used to add that touch of sparkle to an otherwise neutral and understated scheme ....See More
8 years agoHi Ffion, I love those floor tiles, they will bring so much character to your bathroom. I see many options here, however my first three choices would be:
1. If you go for the metro tiles half way up all the way around (I understand that's what you are thinking), I would agree with the others to go for matt so you add depth and avoid the reflection of your dark and beautiful bathroom furniture which will make the bathroom smaller, busier and will lose the elegance and also deflect from the features. I would be careful about the grout. The metro tiles are a completely different shape and pattern to the floor and if you have them all around, it could clash. I would either use the same colour for the grout as the colour of the tiles or have them both very light and similar shades. The walls in your case should act as a background that showcase the rest. In terms of which colour, I would try to match the lightest shade with white grout and white walls above. I think the grey is a bit too dark, but light grey with white grout and walls would look perfect.
2. If you are keen to add the metro tiles for their character, highlighting their full glory with a different grout and shine, your better option would be to create a feature wall out of them. It should be of full height behind the bath. As long as you have paneling half way up on the rest of the wall with paint matching one of the light colours from the floor tiles you can go as wild as you like. Well, almost. As long as it goes with the floor tiles. Nevertheless, there is no need for a perfect harmony, that is why you have the bath to break it up.

3. Paneling with skirting all around (no wall tiles) - I would choose a light grey for this or other shades of light grey/blue. The colour does not need to match as the panels are a different texture and look compare to tiles on the floor. Naturally, in order to achieve a seamless look, it will all have to go together.
Whatever you'll decide in the end, I am sure you will make it stunning as you have already made some lovely choices.
All the best

PRO8 years agoHi there,
Just an idea, we sell the same cement tile as you're looking at, however we can colour match them for you and get which ever colours you want. Also, we are a new company so will be able to get the tiles to you for a cheaper price in 4 weeks.
If you don't get any luck elsewhere, have a look at our website tejatile.co.uk

PRO8 years agoWe think a light painted panelling would look really nice against the encaustic tiles you have. The image below shows the Ca’Pietra Cement Encaustic Modern Harlequin Pattern with this look really well.
