Cloakroom update, advice needed
Comments (8)I think it can be fun to do something a bit personal and 'different' in a cloakroom. So if it were me, and there weren't funds or time to do a full-makeover - I would choose a theme that had some connection with family interests, location, past -- e.g. perhaps a hobby, or a location of a special holiday, or a country that you're originally from, or a favourite animal/plant, musical instrument, music / paint genre or a favourite decade, or favourite superhero or movie. Then I'd go to All Posters and find a print or canvas related to that theme. Put that print/canvas on the wall opposite the toilet (for a good view!). Then choose a paint that matches some aspect of the picture/canvas. Not too dark. Paint the entire room in that colour. And paint the same colour but a darker shade around the recess of the mirror (like a frame). Choose a hand towel in a contrasting colour. Dunelm have lots of good colours; inexpensive. John Lewis too. Put up a chrome hand towel ring to the right hand side of the sink (so towel is not hanging on radiator). Get rid of current ornaments and replace with 3 things. (I really agree with the rule of thumb that things look good in 3s! Don't know why that is). Maybe three of the same lined up; or 3 of various heights placed in trio. Anything really, but would be extra bonus if the new ornaments had something to with the theme you chose for the picture. Get a new toilet brush and holder. Again Dunelm is good. Perhaps chrome or crisp white ceramic (not cream if your toilet bowl is white). Reduce the number of soap dispensers. One soap dispenser at a time. And one moisturiser if you want. Your black wire basket would be worth keeping if you are going to have moisturiser and soap. It like the way it looks on your mirror shelf. And last but not least - you might if you can - replace the ceiling light. There are loads of options, but it probably needs to be bathroom-rated IP44. Choose something that goes with the look you're trying to achieve. But I think that if you do the rest, this isn't essential. Your current spot lights are fine too. So that's my suggestion for a cheap makeover! I like A.S.' ideas if you have more energy for a full makeover....See Moretoilet or cloakroom
Comments (15)Coats in the hall are, I think, a very personal thing: we keep our hall coat-and-shoe free - guests' garments we store in our dressing room. BUT, my sister-in-law's hall is a-jumble of coats, hats, umbrellas and all the detritus of family life - far to messy for me, but it's how they feel comfortable and therefore how they should live. If I were in your position, I'd keep the loo and set aside some wardrobe space for visitors' coats....See MoreI need inspiration to decorate my toilet
Comments (7)PIcs...............would be useful as don't know what colour the floor is, unless you want to change that too. Also, where is it, what's it next to, those colours etc................. Mostly, what colours do you like? Do you want wallpaper or paint?...See Moreadvice needed for utility and cloakroom layout please!
Comments (9)If you keep the Hallway door where it is, it makes things more difficult. The toilet is best placed between lounge and Utility, so if you keep the doorway there, you would enter a long narrow space, making the basin difficult to place. Also, are you taking out the Chimney Stack?. I'd go for integrated appliances rather than stacking as you have plenty of room, and something a little like this possibly. Of course it also depends on whether or not you want access from the kitchen because of washing etc, or the Hallway because that's easier for the coats and shoes. Choice is yours....See MoreAwal
