Why not just go with the same tiles for the floor? Would look very elegant. Because if you are going with another tile, the problem is it will most definitely clash in colour tone. So we suggest you use the same wall tiles on the floor (like on the photos)..have a lovely weekend!

I would go for a plain neutral colour - attaching a link below for your info. It's best to ask fro samples so you compare to the tiles/cabinet above. I personally think that the lighter one will work best - keeping the floor light will make the feature wall stand out even more.

Hope this helps

Main Bathroom Vanity/Laundry Unit Dilemma. Please HELP!

Hi everyone, I'm currently in the process of picking out a vanity and laundry unit for our main bathroom. Our apartment is quite small, so the only space available for a washer/dryer is in the main bathroom. However, I do not want to leave them 'exposed', rather I would like to place them in a unit (separate from the vanity). The dilemma is this, I really have no clue what laminate color/wood to choose! At first I was imagining a dark oak wood to warm up the room, however, our kitchen is already a dark wood shade (image attached) and I'm scared the bathroom will end up looking like a continuation of the kitchen (which I do not want). The tiles in the bathroom are StoneOne by Marca Corona in Ivory https://www.marcacorona.it/en/collections/marca-corona/stoneone/ (it's sort of a cement beige with greyish undertones). For bathroom fixtures we have the Crosswater MPRO in chrome, a 1.4 by .8 meter walk in shower (white shower tray), the Glide II Crosswater toilet in gloss white and the Cielo Shui rectangular washbasin also in gloss white. I'm aware that the vanity and the unit do not need to match perfectly, however, I would love some ideas :)

In keeping with 'budget', maybe the floor and vanity are your key areas. The toilet looks in good nick, no garish color!, and changing it out might just add to budget woes. The tiling looks good, just all a bit too glossy, so wood in the vanity would break it up. Am thinking the warmth needs to be in accessories - under the mirror looks like a good spot for a wooden chair or stool. That might be enough for now, too much more might get too busy. Your floor could go for more pattern, and any color could be in towels, from the pic above you would have wood vanity but could have the charcoal in floor and towels...

separate toilet from main bathroom

We live in an Edwardian house with a separate loo (original layout), which we kept separate during renovation as I'd really rather keep the toilet water away from toothbrushes and also so that people can use loo while someone in the shower. Having lived in the US for a number of years, with toilets in a separate little room within a larger bathroom, it didn't seem so strange any more either. We did add a small sink in with the loo as there was none originally. Another side benefit is that the shower room (we took out the bath and put in a bath-sized shower) could be laid out more effecitvely with double sinks (another US-inspired decision) along the wall which separates the shower-room from the loo-room - if we'd opened the space up we wouldn't have been able to get two sinks in and it would have felt more cramped.

Hi. I don't think either work if I'm honest. Apologies for the very crude photoshop but just gives an idea on colours. Can I just check where the vanity is from to make sure the colour is accurate as there a a few similar ones? Have you considered using the hexagon tiles on the floor or is there another tile in that range? Is the bath panel being tiled?

Hi MB from the images you sent the 1st one will probably work better and it is closer to the first one I sent you the link for.

I would not add another brown colour unless you use same hexagon tiles for the door (assuming they are suitable for floor use) - do keep in mind that if you have too many tiles/grouting on the floor it may make keeping the floor clean a bit challenging :-)

I'd have gone for a darkish wood plank look. The tile looks are all a bit samey

Thank you for the feedback. The only problem is we were looking for LVT for the floor as tiles can be cold. plus I have been told that tiles can crack if floor isn't level.

Whatever you use on the floor it will need a level base. If the floor is concreted, the floor can be screeded before tiling or laying lvt. If it is a suspended wooden floor it can be boarded to level it before the tiles go on.

With lvt it will need screening before to make flat as mentioned above, so it’s just as easy to put some ply over the top of existing to level out (or screed if you have concrete as also mentioned above) to lay tiles. They can be cold though indeed.

Have you thought about an actual lino?? Some cushioned commercial ones are incredibly durable and it would be warmer and much cheaper than lvt.

I would personally either go with the same or complimentary tile as on your wall (love the idea of the hexagonal to match your wall) or a contrasting tone in a different effect if it doesn’t match exactly
