Bathroom Feature Wall

9 years ago

Hi fellow Houzzers

We've picked a lovely grey matt tile for our master bathroom. Would love to make a feature wall behind the free standing bath. I was thinking of cladding... Thoughts and ideas welcomed

Hi Niamh,

I have used this type of stone cladding before, it can look amazing if applied correctly.

One thing to be careful of is that there are some cheap imports around at the moment that don't fit together very well. They usually come as a sheet and fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. When they go together you should not be able to see the joint so it looks like a full wall of stone cladding as opposed to a jigsaw of separate panels. Best way to check is to get a couple of panels from your supplier and see how they fit together.

The main beauty of this material is the textured surface.

Have you considered putting in floor mounted uplighter behind the bath to cast light up. This will highlight the texture and create a sparkle off the minerals in the surface of the stone. (Ensure the lights are IP rated - i.e. waterproof)

Hope this helps,

Martin

PS

Don't be tempted to use it in the shower.

It's difficult to fully waterproof and dried on soap will need cleaned off daily which is difficult on a rough surface..

Hello Emmeline, Well... I'd have to say probably anything that isn't my current... Hasn't had a AJ Eye makeover sadly... For products I really love Aesop, Ortigia and for the look... I'd say marble wet room floor and wall to ceiling with a large square really plain wall hung white sink and wall hung loo. If it needs it a plain sheet of glass as a screen but otherwise nothing.... Nickel taps Lefroy Brooks or Watermark collection Zen with marble round disc taps or the London range wall mounted.. An old style radiator in nickel plate or painted to look like old silver.. possibly a little wooden stool.. Marble shelf built into the walls and a hidden marble door with shelving for other bottles and cotton wool balls.. Very lastly an old white venetian glass mirror with little glass flowers maybe.. : ))

There is just the issue of the cupboard in he corner, do you think I should go brown to match the vanity unit, white or grey? Or a mix? My husband started painting the doors in a light blue colour but it doesn’t seem to come together with the rest of the scheme unless I put some down in it somewhere? Any ideas?

If you shop for a space saving toilet there should be plenty of room for a full sized basin on the same wall. A p shaped bath would also give you a little more room at the shower end.
