Please help I think I have made a big mistake with this design
Dear Houzzers
Oh dear I have spent a lot of time and money trying to be creative and filling the gap either side of my bath enclosure. But I am not sure the niche design works now it has been built! There will be a tiled bath panel it will link to but it just looks so dominant as you walk in the room. There will also be a shower fitted to it with a shower panel coming off the rhs of it.
I guess the alternative is to rip it out and start again by moving the bath to the back wall and then putting a tiled step with a niche in it on the rhs to fill the gap or just not having anything or putting a portable towel rail or unit there. Trouble is the gap would be 70cm if it was all on one side.
Any advice would be so welcome. The plumber/tiler is due on Tuesday so I have to decide sooner rather than later!
Many thanks

Filled in a doorway - should I have made a nook?
Comments (9)If you can do an alcove or niche - that would be the best! It adds character, if arched- will match the rest of the entrances, plus could be "mistaken" for an original feature. If that's too complicated, given that that wall is asymmetrical, I'd hang more than one thing on it. You could buy several small round mirrors (Ikea), hang family portraits/ art or even just empty frames. Again, I think your issue is having an asymmetrical space, so you shouldn't aim for just one regular shape, rather for many arranged in an irregular way. Or round (starburst mirror?). If you prefer just one thing, then a giant canvas would be great (you can make it yourself, just get someone to build you a frame and wrap it in some cool wallpaper). Hope this helps, good luck!!...See MoreHave I made the wrong decision?
Comments (57)Looks like an old thread but l'd like to comment anyway. Leave it as is. This is a great Mediterranean look. The grout is fine - a white grout would look rather blank here, and l'm so glad the mirror is simple and you placed it on a simple wood backing. The concrete basin stand adds an understated industrial touch whilst the style of the porcelain fittings is perfectly timeless and l like taps too. The shower sure does need a glass screen to keep water from raining all over the place! You could make the blue pop out further by using a combination of grey and two blues in your towels. Well done for this brave success!...See MoreI need help on garden design please!

Comments (36)Yellow was very popular in the late 1980s - often paired with royal blue or duck egg. As a colour it stimulates brain activity so it's sometimes used in school classrooms. If you must use it, use a F&B wallpaper for your feature wall which includes the yellow. Or scrap the existing feature wall and have the entire room yellow and go shopping for textiles that go with it...See More
