Love the tiles, where were they purchased from and what were the room dimensions. Thanks

I think you are missing an opportunity here; this is the perfect excuse to buy lots and lots of books. I have have run out of shelf space and have to choose what to pass on before I can buy any more...tough choices. :-)

Small bathroom trying to maximises space

The best way to make a room feel more spacious is to minimise clutter. If you can replace the bath with a shower then definitely go for the option in Elena's message and install a large shower spanning the width of the room. If you have to keep the bath then perhaps consider a smaller bath (e.g. 1600mm long) if this won't be a problem for you. It may seem strange to make a room smaller when trying to make it appear larger but I would suggest building out a false studwork wall on the right hand side of the room by about 200mm and using the void behind to conceal the pipework for the shower so you only have the valve and shower head visible. You can also put in neat alcove shelves within the shower to store bottles and products so you don't need the basket which will create more space in the shower area and make it seem more spacious. I would also move the toilet next to the shower and conceal the cistern behind the false wall. Again, you can have alcove shelves above the toilet with concealed lighting or set back the whole section above the cistern with a large mirror above. By hiding the shower mechanisms and the cistern, the whole area looks clean and uncluttered giving the illusion of more space. The basin can be repositioned opposite the door, which will be a more attractive view than the loo when you walk into the room. Finally, if your door opens inwards rehang it to open outwards to make the room feel more spacious. I hope that helps and all makes sense! Do get in touch if you'd like plans drawn up or product suggestions.

Help with floor plan & use of space

In the Utility/Bathroom appliances could by stuck vertically (one on top of the other) to save space - still 600mm is needed. Basin could be located next to it - uses the same waste. Shower doesn't have to be huge 600mm wide along the wall with current Snug, perhaps. It's all in the planning - mark it out on the floor with tape to "see" it. Don't rush. Make sure you look at all the options before building starts - later changes can be costly (both with time and money) as well as stressful and annoying to your builders. Your budget would allow for an extension of the kitchen (to level it with existing buildings at the back). Even 1 meter would make huge difference in floor space and allow extra dining space. ((You are going to live in a building site anyway, so why not do everything?)) Clever kitchen design could use all the height of your room, allowing extra storage. Think what are the Must Have items in your kitchen and do it around that. Whatever you do, don't rush. The Proposed plan seemed to cut down on useful, usable space. Think how does your family uses each space now and does it need to be changed? Sometimes moving a table makes a huge difference. Good luck, you have lots of exciting moments ahead.

We would also echo what Shelley has said - what a fantastic renovation and great that you are breathing new life into an older building. The demand for grey, doesn't seem to be abating, in fact it is heralded by many as the new 'neutral'. This is demonstrated by the clever use of the grey herringbone in the kitchen as a background palette along with the white walls which contrast beautifully with the wooden door fronts creating a new modern look.
