Hi, Taking into consideration all the elements in your room I would advise you to go with the lighter, golden-toned wood flooring option. Bear in mind wood is a light reflecting finish (as opposed to a carpet in an equivalent tone which is more light absorbing) so will create a more spacious feel to the room. Furthermore the lovely varied tones and graining in the samples you have allow for it to blend subtly with your table and chairs. In contrast a straight cut plank with more even tones would results in a clash of woods as you mentioned. The doors are indeed very yellow in tone; ideally if you could, I would advise changing the stain colour - if they are hardwood strip them back and apply a clear varnish or wax . If they are laminate or veneered they unfortunately can't be stripped back but you could paint them a neutral paint colour to break them from the other wood in the room and allow them to blend better with the wall paint colour. Regarding the wall paint colour, if you do go ahead with the blonder toned wood flooring you could take a small step away from warm yellow based neutrals to a cooler grey or green based neutral paint colour to introduce a subtle contrast on the wall surfaces. A subtle "hint" staying in the neutral range, not a definitive grey or green! I would advise avoiding any neutral with a pink or yellow based tint due to there being a lot of warm tones already in the room - in the floor, the dining table the chairs and the sofa fabric.

Hello Mrs G! I personally love the tile, it really is beautiful and that's why it needs to be highlighted. Having too much of it will drown it so to speak so I would do either one of these 2 options: 1) Leave it on the main floor only. Then on the platform floor and wall, up to the window, I would put a matte grey tile of the exact same colour as the grey in your feature tile. 2) Or put it only on the wall behind the bath up to the ceiling a bit like this: I really think that's your 2 options as otherwise it might be too much. With these I think you'll agree it "frames" the tiles more so they have a real impact. Hope that helps! Anthony

Thank you so much Tani, Carolina and So-Real for taking the trouble to reply and for such good ideas and photos as well! I am torn between which way to go! If I box up to the window sill should I go up to the left hand corner of the room next to the current basin but presumably this will affect the basin width-wise if I do put it there? The current one is 60cm wide so I could get away with the protrusion as the boxing is already there but would it look ok coming out along there? Or as you say I could put the toilet where the sink is and add a basin on a countertop under teh window. The window sill is 86cm high and I cannot seem to get the dimensions for one of the countertop ones on Google which is frurstrating but will keep trying! In my other bathroom the sink height is 82cm so that could possibly work.... What do you think? Thanks again

Hi Sunny, I'm guessing the layout is like this then? Which is why you wanted a 900mm wide shower. I'd actually go with the 900 x 1200 as it's longer and will suit the room better, plus, if the layout is like this, then you have the room for it. Here's a link to all those in that size from Victorian Plumbing, so depends what your style is. Victorian Plumbing. They sell loads, so i'm sure you'll be able to find one that will suit. One thing to watch out for is the size of the basin and toilet. You will be better off with a short projection toilet and don't come out too far with the basin either as the space to exit out of the bath will be lessened. Regards to flooring, tiles etc, that's personal choice. What style do you like, what colours do you like, and most importantly what is your budget for the project?
