I want to move away from the tiled or Formica look and wondered about slate or even if I could use Oak (which I love).

You will probably have to say more about the style and type you're looking for to be able to get some useful advice.

You could have solid timber as long as you maintain it.

Hi Lilly! Well... I have to be honest and admit that I was thinking about lying and saying it's great, etc. The truth is: I've never used it! not once. I'm a shower girl and it's not that I won't take a bath (I would, I promise I'm not whiffy!!) it's just that since we've moved in, I never had the time or felt the need. Plus, I feel guilty and uneasy thinking of the amount of water I'd waste filling up that monster (and we have a second tub in the loft bathroom that's smaller -- never used that one either...) When we chose the tub, I think hubby and I were a bit nostalgic; I used to have this huge hideous burgundy corner bath in the house I bought just before we met and let's just say, we used to like taking baths together (hmmmm...). So we went for a large one, I guess both thinking of our almost decade old adventures'! I did however undertake an experiment for you: I went and laid in it, just to see how it is. I'm 1.62m (about 5'4'') and with a slight bend of either knees or neck, you can sleep quite comfortably in there. I also thought it could be a great hiding place in case of 'god forbids': fill half of it with water, add bubbles and submerge - it's enough to cover all of you & hopefully nobody will think to look for you in there! :)) I've digressed ... not sure if I answered your question. If you wanted details about the make of the tub - this is a Clearwater natural stone bathtub: http://www.clearwaterbaths.com/products_main.asp?cat=201&subcat=395 I can tell you another downside of it: if you ignore the waste of space and water, you can't ignore the amount of dust that accumulates in it. I've resorted at hoovering it; just rinsing it with water didn't do it.... But hey! it looks great and generates questions on Houzz, so I guess it has its uses, right?!! :))

How about something antique that will have been designed for candles and bottles http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/antique-mahogany-corner-wash-stand-/111841208176?hash=item1a0a416770:g:PuQAAOSw7FRWYXE1 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Victorian-Georgian-Marble-Top-Wash-Stand-Bowl-and-Jug-/252323596835?hash=item3abfa88a23:g:VO0AAOSwoudW6vWY http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Victorian-French-Hall-Pot-cupboard-Bedside-cabinet-Marble-Top-Barley-Twist-Legs-/262336792242?hash=item3d147dc6b2:g:T0gAAOSwHPlWgq9f http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Metal-French-Wash-Stand-With-Drawers-Adjustable-Mirror-Stylish-Chic-/141924764232?hash=item210b600a48:g:e7sAAOSwzrxUvuW6 The other thing would be a plant to give the room a bit of life.

the original plan was between sink and mirror EXACTLY imetre and then a STRIP above the mirror to the ceiling but the builder says you won't see it so high up as it's tiles up to 2 40 metres. An extra 3-4 tiles. and if I don't do it underneath the sink will look weird. another 4 titles. not in the budget I'm afraid. any other ideashowi can use about 8 tiles of 30x30???

So this is what I’m working with (yes, they should have switched the sink and toilet, the house is full of these types of flaws and design mistakes :( ). I guess a freestanding or folding is my only option (both of which I wanted to avoid as they never look “good”).

Semi-industrial but not too clunky and with a seaside feel.

Wood will need sealing regularly, but it doesn’t take long to do. I use Osmo Top Oil on my kitchen oak worktop. Another option is granite, marble or quartz.
