consider putting your bed in the dressing room and wardrobes and dressing area near the ensuite in the current master bedroom. Perhaps more than one opening through would be good.

Personally, I think if you have a sunny deck, you can go wrong with an exotic look. I recommend going with a variety of foliage plants to offer year round colour as a structure. Acers work well, maybe a tree fern to add drama, phormiums, hardy palms, Pittosporum, Cotinus (smoke bush), some edging of hostas then some winter colour with a climber like winter jasmin and pyracantha for any boundaries to add security. I would also add a structure adding height like a pergola and a vibrant golden hop growing over it?

Chris. I think your tiles are a really nice choice and they will give you the classy feel that you want. Either format will be fine but the rectangular tiles fitted vertically will give the impression of greater height to the room. Clearly it’s a matter of personal choice but I think that the dark grey accents cheapen the class of the tiles and bring the room in. If you wanted to go for a contrast, maybe the vanity unit in a dark wood effect would look more classy. My other thought is that the room is maybe not big enough for the shower set up as you have it here. I think that water will splash beyond the screen and in front of the toilet. My thoughts are keep the open shower screen but go with a plain white porcelain shower tray with a slightly raised lip or keep the flooring consistent and opt for a frameless glass door which will keep the water in. Could be just me but I like to splash a bit in the shower and I think you’ll end up with water in front of your loo. Best of luck with the renovation. It’s going to look great.

What sort of detail would you get for 3K? Does it include shelves or cupboards under the desk. Do you have a sketch or a drawing of what you would like? Veneered plywood is an inexpensive material, architects use it a great deal and may be suitable. You can get oak or birch faced ply.
