Make one bathroom smaller? Advice on bathrooms remodel
Comments (18)I've been thinking about options to cover all basis and came up with this. To allow guests to use a bath/shower the ensuite would be shared. I added a wall in the master bedroom to divide it and add privacy so guests don't have to walk into the bedroom to get to the bath/shower. The upsides are that the ensuite is larger, includes a bath and shower and has more vanity room. Also, by diving the bedroom I can add sort of a walk-in wardrobe. The downsides are that there's only one bath/shower that has to be shared and guests have to walk through the walk-in wardrobe to get to it. Also, it reduces the size of the master bedroom but it's quite a long room anyway and it would cut out the light from the windows in the bedroom. Personally I don't see these as big problems but I guess some people won't like it. Do you think this is a good idea?...See Moreduck egg blue bathroom - how to make more sophisticated
Comments (7)Hi, Personally I think the walls are fine in the colour they are, if you painted them another colour it may make the tiles being white seem a bit odd? I think probably adding some accessories will bring the room together and make you feel better about the colour, some fluffy white towels and glass or maybe aged copper style accessories would work nicely I think. I'm not sure how far ahead you are with your renovations but a marble topped cabinet would look very nice in here too. Here's a bathroom with a similar style to yours - they've painted some of the walls the same as the paneling and the rest white....See MoreHow to design bathroom?
Comments (43)Everything Jonathan says is correct. You have to factor in the prep for the room. Removing tiles re-doing the water pipes, chasing them in to the walls etc. Then the re-tiling. The labour is the biggest budget usually. We went for rectified porcelain...........not for the faint hearted. Nasa would have a problem drilling through those. So, yes, as above choose the tiles carefully. Our bathroom is roughly the size of yours without the corner missing. So, take 25% off the tile cost of the tiles:- The tiles were £1500 ( wall and floor ) - The wall tiles are 900mm x 450 the floor tiles are 1200 x 300 Bath - half price £695 Shower - half price £299 Toilet - full price £450 Vanity Full price £699 Bath taps £300 Basin taps £150 Shower valve £150 Shower head and arm £150 Shower spray hose and head £150 Aquapanel £95 Tile adhesive £95 Coloured Grout £45 Total cost of purchases £3,278 We ( the wife - my labourer and I ), took down two walls, moved a doorway, put one wall back up. We re-routed all the pipework, central heating, hot and cold feet, chased pipes in to the walls etc. The whole thing took 3 weeks and I had a tiler friend help me for 3 days. Plus on top of that I had a plasterer in for the weekend for £400. Thus we only paid £1200 for the labour. If I had charged for my labour - plus mate for say 2 weeks, ( not three - as I wasn't working flat out ) instead of doing it for free it would have cost a further £2,500. Total labour should have been :- £3,700 plus the purchases £ 3,278 = £6,978 The bathroom is a luxury bathroom, so yes it's at the higher end of the market, but you can see how things mount up. Even when you try and save on the items going in, it's still the labour that gets you. A bathroom is a horrible, job, i'd rather do a kitchen any day and that's bad enough....See MoreHow to make a small bathroom look bigger.
Comments (27)Phew, that was like watching paint dry! Wrong sized photos. Hey ho, ever onwards. At the moment, the shower is on the right as you walk in but water tends to splash against the window which is why I was thinking of scrapping the bath altogether and having a walk in shower on the left as you enter through the door. with the shower on the wall where the pictures are at the moment. The marble wall that you can see is actually sticky back paper - I just wanted to see what it looked like and it certainly lightens the room up to a massive extent. The previous colour was turquoise....See More

4 years agoI think the layout is good, but floor to ceiling tiling is very heavy and oppressive. Reduce the tiling to around the bath shower and behind the sink. Paint the rest with washable bathroom paint in a co-ordinated colour. You can then add artwork and shelving with some plants to cosy it all up. Great that you have a large window. Here’s a couple of ideas
