Tiny bathroom - mirror placement dilemma!
Hi there,
We are replacing our (very small windowless) bathroom, we've sorted everything other than than where to put mirrors and where to tile up to. We are complete novices so would really appreciate any advice on this!
I've attached the floor plan, the floor tiles (black and white patterned) and the wall tiles (plain matt white). The units are all white and floating, and the taps/shower etc are matt black.
We currently have one mirror above the sink, and then 2 mirrors on the wall opposite the sink which opens the space up nicely. In the new design the wall opposite the sink will have a dark grey radiator/towel rail on it.
We were thinking of a made to measure mirror to run along the entire right hand wall above the sink and then along the back wall above the bath. So we would put white tiles on all walls but stop at about 220cm and paint above it (potentially dark grey). Other than on the walls with the mirrors where we would have a mirror made to the same height as the tiles, then the grey paint above again.
Or would we be better having the mirror just on the sink side, or moving the radiator and placing another mirror on the opposite wall similar to the set up today?
Any advice gratefully received! Many thanks.

Tiny bathroom design - Help!
Comments (21)I would still suggest tanking/waterproofing the room prior to the installation of a standard shower tray or bath. Waterproofing membranes with the European Technical Approval will withstand normal movement within a house but the flooring and walls need to be of sound construction - a wetroom can be properly fitted in age of building. These principles apply to a standard tray or bath as the silicone beading around the edge may fail (from movement/age) and let wall bypass the tray, causing damage to the building underneath. This picture was taking after a bath with wall mounted shower was removed. The silicone had failed causing the wood to rot. This was all replaced and the below was created in its place: A bath will be easier for people with young children and if you plan to sell on, a wetroom will appeal to some where a bath will appeal more to others. Which ever path you choose (both your designs look nice) I would recommend waterproofing the room before it is installed. Kind Regards Mike...See MoreBathroom redesign
Comments (34)Hahahaha Joanna! Honestly me and hubby have also invested emotion into this. Seems like we are in the same boat, rewire/ installing gas, putting in central heating, all the works basically! I would love to know how it all comes along for you. I wish we could do house tours on houzz for the amateurs like me! Whilst the amazing houses from interior designers and architects are so inspirational, not everyone like me can afford their expertise for first timers and would amazing to see what other first timers have done.

Comments (36)Hi Senspasce and thank you my husband works for a large tile manufacturer and the tiles where purchased on slight seconds and a great tiler who works all over the world did the tiling beautifully. The design was copied from the company brochure so I knew it was foolproof design in its day which was over 20yrs ago so not done so bad really certainly had my moneys worth. The window is very heavily obsurced glass with leaded design so does not need blinds which cannot be fitted as casement to window is not deep enough I have had curtain treatment on expandable rod but like the light and openness. I prefer a bath we use to have shower on bracket with a shower curtain when I had new mixer and taps I did away with them to open the room up and getaway from water mold building up we use bath mat on floor when showering and not a problem with no screen a lot less cleaning too never a problem without them....See Morechange bathroom layout or not?
Comments (37)My favourites are: A semi-closed off shower and loo. I have a similar layout at home, though still completely different. When entering the space, you'll mainly see bath and sink. Or this one, which sprouted from the very first idea to place shower and bath in the same line. With two sinks your radiator should be hung elsewhere, inbetween windows made sense for heating reasons, but perhaps not the best spot aesthetically. (And I've moved the door to create a good spot for a tall storage unit.) So I've looked up some radiators that would be just fine next to the bath or inbetween sink and loo:...See Moreuk1982
