Hiya, What a lovely space you've created - you must be so pleased! A little bit of advice for your blind - Fauxwood is a perfect material for a bathroom as it's easy to wipe clean and won't warp in steamy conditions. And to get the shutter look you speak about, choose tape instead of cords with your wide slats. You'll get a similar effect at a fraction of the price. Good luck, Zoe

Hi Laurenandjames. I love your kitchen / diner. I am in the process of having an extension and I have Howdens Tewkesbury Stone kitchen and Ice White Quartz worktops ready to be fitted. Is the wallpaper from B&Q? Also what colour paint did you go for on the rest of the walls? I was a bit worried about the stone colour as in some lights it looks brown and not the grey I was after. Thanks in advance.

Hi Weewelshdragon, You're correct, brickbond metro tiles is boring, in fact metro tiles period, are boring. They've been around since about the turn of the 20th century, and so "last year!" this is an ensuite I transformed last year from a dark, dingy and depressing space into something light, airy and really quite special. The product is the new thin porcelain tile, which is taking tiled rooms to the next level, and is only bound by your imagination. sizes start at 900 x 900 and go all the way up to 3.2m x 1.6m and range from 4.8mm to 6mm thick and although they half the thickness of regular porcelain they proven to be twice as strong when fitted correctly. Generally available in matt, gloss and textured, the designs and colours are endless. Search for companies like Porcel-Thin™ And see what's available, they shouldn't be overlooked and you'd be the envy of everyone you know. Good luck with your search.

I think you need something calming as you have yellow and teal so you don’t want anything to clash. I wonder if a mid grey like Dulux Chic Shadow would go well? Here’s a couple of pics
