bathroom flooring help please

6 years ago

What colour vinyl should I go for please? It is a white bathroom suite, white quatz-like worktop and white with grey marbled tile to be finished with grey grout. The bathroom is on the northwest side of the building so only gets evening light so tends towards a darker room. I have some grey flooring samples but they all seem a little dull and come out rather dark. Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Thanks for your answers. I must admit I didn't want tiles on the floor and I am already tiling the whole room so no walls to paint. And Alice - unfortunately I am stuck for time and will have to rely on local shops as I have to have the flooring in the next week. Last minute Lil here.

Assuming that is your washstand the tile is against I would tile the floor with the same tile to avoid you having too many different flat surfaces in a small space (assuming you can get it in a floor quality tile).
Given the light situation I would paint a feature wall in a deep colour to add contrast to an otherwise fairly white room. Against this tile I like Farrow and a ball Downpipe- don't forget to buy a wipeable matt finish.

I'm not sure where your relative is living, but it is always worth contacting the local Council as many have schemes to assist the elderly and infirm to continue to live in their homes. These schemes often include things like fitting new taps, handles, rails and non slip floors either free or discounted.

Any chance you have enough room outside the bath for a barn door? That would open up your floor plan greatly. I just got done installing pocket doors in my bath and office, huge space saver-but a lot of work. The barn door concept wont give you the air tight seal of a door but since ive put mine in, it is hardly ever used lol. If you can do either of those I would seriously consider moving the door closer to the tub and putting your vanity on the wall to the left. You will have a lot more storage, the layout will seem less hectic and if you are doing this for yourself (not planning on moving) you will enjoy it more. My initials used to be AD lol, now I am ADG

Unfortunately it's almost impossible to identify tiles from a picture. There are thousands of different tile designs so you are in for a very difficult task. Tiles in the picture are ceramic tiles and are inexpensive. I can tell because of the size, most likely 30x30cm, because the edges are sharp, unfinished without bevel and because the colour is plain. The designer alternative is to use mosaics, that can provide a very stylish finish, continuous pattern and with the choice of many different colours and formats. We procure products from a variety of manufacturers in Italy and for your particular requirement we suggest you looking at https://www.appianimosaic.com/mosaic-colors-tiles/single-firing-ceramic-tiles-anthologia Hope this helps but feel free to get in touch for any further enquiry. All the best.

How about a pale concrete effect? https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/1211-anti-slip-stone-effect-hometex-by-envy.html Perhaps a solid pale grey to go with the grout. Or dark if that's your style: https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/camaro-loc-3453-black-shadow.html Dark wood effect: https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/0562-anti-slip-wood-effect-felt-back-vinyl-flooring.html And if Marina's suggestion (which I find lovely) is too much of the same for you, a pattern could work: https://m.vinylflooringuk.co.uk/1600-stone-effect-vinyl-picasso-by-envy.html

Hi. Love the marble look tiles, where are they from? Have you considered wood effect floor? Either wood effect tiles or good quality vinyl (they are so realistic these days!). It would add some warmth to counterbalance all the white. Could you post some more photos?

Chloeloves - I can do some more photos tomorrow - a little too dark now. The tiles are Kendal Bianco Porcelain Marble Effect from a local tile shop either matt or gloss. I chose matt because they show less water marks apparently - hopefully! I had thought about a wood effect - maybe with a grey wash effect - but was unsure of mixing so many styles - marble, quartz and wood??

Hi,

If you worried about the small space including too many patterns, you could consider the following Luxury Vinyl Tiles from Amtico which could work in your space...As they co-ordinate with your white and grey scheme, you are then free to add additional colour if you wish through accessories.

Here are a few examples attached but Amtico have a huge range of vinyl

Hello! I would go for a wood effect vinyl - so a scandi looking limed white oak for example - you have lots of stone tile effects going on - so a different material (i.e. wood) is called for.... in my opinion!
