Finished En-suite & Main Bathroom
Comments (0)What do you think of the mix between the dark wood on the unit and the light tiles on the wall? Large mirrors and tiles have been used to give the illusion of more space. Recesses in the shower enclosure the allow for more storage and wall hung units for a sleek look....See Moreen-suite or no En-suite
Comments (18)I agree that it is unusual now to find a new house without one but I think if you have space to put an extra shower room elsewhere so that you still have more than one then it should be okay. Ideally somewhere not far from the master bedroom. Also like the suggestion for you to put in all of the pipe work etc so that it can easily be added later. If you dont get round to it upon resale then atleast there is less work for a buyer....See MoreEn-Suite bathroom renovation - need creative advice! :)
Comments (4)I'm struggling to visualise this, so here are some random comments which aren't very coherent but may just help. My architect was clear that when you go into a bathroom, ideally you shouldn't be able to see the toilet. If you can manage it, moving the toilet to where the shower is at present would achieve that and also tuck it nicely out of the way. I don't know if it would matter that you could probably hear the flush from the bedroom. I think you would need to put the bath under the window at the back, as in Nicola's lovely photo. For the shower, if you can manage one of those without a shower tray, again as in Nicola's photo, I think that would stop the room looking too narrow. If that is a chimney breast, sometimes it's possible to create a cupboard in the middle of it, which may be a storage option depending on structural safety. And other fairly invisible storage can be achieved by floor to wall cupboards, perhaps with a mirror door. To protect against flooding damage, you could either start the cupboard a bit above the floor or mount it on marine ply. Sorry, not a plan, but some random ideas....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 More88wj88
