How about warm yellow? I think it will go together with bricks and would be a good contrast to dark floor and black cooker. Yellow is an optimistic and cheerful colour and often is associated with food. /Marcin

You should install the WC pan first, and then cut the tiles around it. Depending on how thick the tiles are, you might need to install a packing sheet of moisture resistant MDF or similar so that the WC lid stays up - just make sure the sheet is small enough to be hidden behind the pan. Good luck!

Hi, To design your TV and feature wall, consider extending wood panels or slats across both the main wall and the alcove for a cohesive look, with the TV centred on the main wall and a darker panel backdrop to help it blend in when not in use. Alternatively, you could make the alcove the focal point with wood slats or panels and keep the TV wall simple with a complementary dark colour. Another option is to treat both areas separately—using slats on the TV wall and a contrasting treatment, like paint or wallpaper, for the alcove. Incorporating the old chimney niche with decorative elements or lighting could also enhance the design. Thanks!
