Ensuite accessories - which colour?

Hi, I would like to tie our ensuite with our chosen bedroom colour scheme. Here are some photos of our recently completed ensuite, plus the chosen wallpaper for our bedroom.
Which colours would you choose for towels and accessories? I'd also love to have a nice plant, so suggestions for this are also most welcome!

5 years agoHi tamp75, the colour is more like a mushroom grey. See attached photo.
I've considered other metals but can't quite picture it in my head, probably because I've expected more of a contrast somehow?
Also I have too much gold/brass elsewhere in the house, and my husband can't take any more! :-)

Comments (2)Generally a larger tile will make a room look bigger than a smaller one as they are less 'busy' also go for lighter colours across all surfaces (ceiling, floor and wall) if you can to increase the light in the room. If a Building Inspector is involved you may need to keep a certain colour difference between surfaces, but in the past we have negotiated a band at skirting level and at the edge of the ceiling to satisfy the regulations which could be an option if needed. The old idea of using mirrors to open up a space really does work. I don't know if you will have a window - if so I assume from the description that it would be either a velux type roof window or a vertical dormer window - either way if you have one try and put a mirror opposite if possible so the room is opened up even further and the light bouncing around the space is amplified. I know Ideal Standard do 'Concept Space' fittings that are more compact than their traditional counterparts which might be worth a gander. You can also get WCs with a sink over the cistern, an though these have never personally appealed, sometimes a small space breeds necessity. Good Luck!...See MoreNew Ensuite looking a bit .....blah
Comments (12)Hi Monica. I like the bathroom, it just needs accessorising. I'd also decorate in a warmer, darker colour. I agree with honeypoppet that a wallpaper could work well if in budget. A faux grasscloth or something with the appearance of texture could work if the room is well ventilated and use a decorators varnish over the top (I'd check the finish on a sample first though). I'd also add shelves over the loo and a mirror (this is Graham and green, they also have an oval version but may be a tad short, hard to tell!). I'd continue with the dark wood for shelves and also a stool in front of the shower (puji) which you can accessorise. Just wondering if a towel shelf would work well in the shower as you can stack towels and it gives the look you're after, what's the shower width? Perhaps also some wall mounted dispensers for the shower? Add an orchid on the window sill and accessories for the stools and shelves such as small plant, candles, natural sponge, diffuser, loofah etc. I'd go for a patterned Roman blind for the window, cotton is probably better. If it's to be hung in the recess then bring it forward of the glass a little to avoid it getting damp...See MoreEn-Suite sizing/layout help
Comments (78)Just thought I would update my post as the en suite is *almost finished. Only take 6 months (rolls eyes) and still a bit of cladding above the WC to finish and on the sink unit (same walnut cladding on the front) and of course I have to have a shower screen designed as it won’t take a standard shower door. Such fun. Will take some other angle pics over the weekend once it’s all tidied up and cleaned. Just struggling now with storage!! Only got a shallow space under the sink (25cm deep- 26cm at most) to put some drawers but I can’t find any. Got space on the wc side for a little bench seat with storage under so trying to work out the best colour/style that’s not too twee....See MoreEn-suite - advice needed
Comments (40)Following with interest! I have something similar that needs renovating, but in an apartment, and no window - around 3500x1200. Personally, I wouldn't swap the loo and shower (I always prefer a loo to be near a window (!) and wouldn't lose a window ie valuable ventilation for the sake of a slightly bigger shower, but obviously it depends what's important to you). Maybe half tiling the non-shower areas is an option? The bathroom fitter may have clever solutions for fitting the right size tray into that width. Good luck!...See MoreKaren
