Really struggling to find a tile for ensuite
Hi,
i am having a wet room built and I have chosen and love my hexagon mosaic calacatta, this will be on the floor. I did not want marble on the wall I just wanted a plain white tile so the floor would be the focus, I did have my heart set on a tile to go with this but when I put this in the room it turned out to be very grey and not white. it's not what I wanted. As wanted something lighter and closer to white. My room is being tiled on Tuesday and im not to sure what to go for. Someone suggested a small white metro on the wall but I am not to sure if it will look to busy.
Here is a picture of my options but I don't like the big grey or big white tile.
Can anyone offer any suggestions, ?

Comments (14)As OnePlan says, layout works & not being greeted by a wc is a bonus! Get the lighting right & it won't be a problem not having a window. I would recommend having lighting switched separately as well as extractor fan,with secondary lighting for when you may need to use the wc in the night etc & don't want to be blinded by the main lights - wall lights or LEDs at low level under vanity unit, left wall & right wall from end of bath to wc for example. Invest in a mirrored cabinet with integrated lighting & shaver socket & would recommend a large mirror on the left wall to make the room feel more spacious. We have fitted a mirror from ikea several times on previous projects, 2m x 80cm for £80. Regarding tile choice I wouldn't be to concerned about the finish of the tile if your lighting is right. I have gone with the same tile for both walls & floor in ensuite & small bathrooms which helps the room feel bigger. Whites & neutral tones are always a winner in smaller spaces. Hope the above helps & good luck with your project, put up some photos once you have completed it! Regards Karl...See MoreEn suite bathroom layout
Comments (1)Hi Adele, You are correct in regards to the added height above the WC - this is largely dependent on the specified window and build of the roof however, so do check with your contractor.

Comments (78)Just thought I would update my post as the en suite is *almost finished. Only take 6 months (rolls eyes) and still a bit of cladding above the WC to finish and on the sink unit (same walnut cladding on the front) and of course I have to have a shower screen designed as it won’t take a standard shower door. Such fun. Will take some other angle pics over the weekend once it’s all tidied up and cleaned. Just struggling now with storage!! Only got a shallow space under the sink (25cm deep- 26cm at most) to put some drawers but I can’t find any. Got space on the wc side for a little bench seat with storage under so trying to work out the best colour/style that’s not too twee....See MoreHelp ! Is an ensuite going to fit without ruining the master bedroom ?
Comments (27)Hi Just to update I have had a bathrooms designer out today who really knew what he was talking about and has said the architect is wrong and we could have the ensuite in the study, which is where we wanted it all along! There is more wall space in the 2nd bedroom so it would make more sense if we built a door through from that room and made that the main bedroom. It will still entail putting in a new soil pipe on the side wall and digging up part of the drive to put in an inspection chamber ( not sure of the correct word), but the joists run in the correct direction and are deep enough to go from the study to the outside wall. He thought the ensuite in the current bedroom would impact the room. The 2nd designer thought we could put the ensuite in the main bedroom, but have the doorway on a slant so it wouldn't impact so much? I'm going to get a 3rd quote/opinion and go from there, but feeling more positive today. Jonathan - hadn't realised you meant knocking into the other room, sorry. Peggysue67 - another good idea, thank you...See MoreUser 1
