Bathroom paint suggestions please to bring in some warmth
I'm loving Laura Ashley Marisa wall and floor tiles and would like to use them in my bathroom refurb. Do you think they would make my bathroom too bright? Can you propose a warm colour to offset all the white? I'm thinking along the lines of warm apricot or a nice blue - but maybe I should stick with something more neutral? I'd welcome any ideas :). Bathroom layout will remain the same but way more steamlined. TIA :)

Comments (13)Hello comegetme, I think tiles and paint can work well... You could even have two colours... Like the wooden blind for the window and you've pretty much nailed the placement... What about having a wall hung loo.... This gives an even gr8r level of space and means if it's boxed in.. you get another shelf. For folded towels? Reed sticks... What about thinking more on the spa theme with stone tiles.... Stone flooring... Tile Magic has a really amazingly affordable range.. (see image) but get samples! With marble or any stone- it must have a protective coating/seal which is not visible but it will mean that the marble or stone is protected.. There are some nice slates too, that could be nice... I rather like these marbles below, or you could choose a travertine, or a marble looking tile... From £1.70 or so a tile... It's probably the most affordable I have ever seen... I would say get samples of any you like and sit them in the room and see how they work with the light... Even if you compliment it with a painted wall....Choosing accessories very carefully can also bring a really luxurious feel on a small budget.. What about a bamboo ladder for towels....... The shower screen I would say doesn't need to move, you just step in from the bottom end.. and I'd choose straight edges and have an invisible fixing.. Ie no chrome edges... : ))...See MorePaint dilemma in bathroom - please help
Comments (2)Hi there, You may want to rethink the colour if you're worried it's going to make the room cold, the best thing to do is get some samples with varying blue to beige tones and paint them on thick paper (please not on the wall as it makes it so difficult to cover up!) and place in various areas round the room. If you then go and look at them at different times of day you'll see the light and how it affects the colour, making it easy to see which colour works best. I'd probably not go for more than 3/4 samples as you might get confused! Hope this helps....See Morehelp with tiling in the bathroom pretty please
Comments (33)These are the tile samples I have so far. On the left - small top dark grey, under that is a tile with faux stepped marble effect tiles that are more slate toned. Large tile to the right is the mandarin stone one (v expensive, lol) The walnut in the middle I love the pattern but it’s not as rich a colour as I wanted and I can’t find anything else online in an American walnut style tile. The bottom tile is a v v pale grey with similar pattern to the mandarin stone one. How would you work these tiles together? Walnut floor and sink unit and dark grey all over the walls? Just the patterned grey on the back of the shower wall and sink area and plain grey on other walls?? :0/...See MoreBathroom layout suggestion
Comments (9)If you don’t need the extra bedrooms yet then leave it as it is. If you split the front room into 2, then your new master bedroom in the middle becomes really small and won’t have the wow factor.. You’ll probably only be able to get a bed and wardrobe in there. You might as well enjoy the space while you can. If in the future you decide to extend into the loft and use that loft as master you can spilt the front bedroom then or put 2 rooms into the loft....See More

4 years agoLovely tiles. Will you be tiling the whole bathroom apart from the wall on the left which is painted? I personally find floor to ceiling tiling very heavy and overbearing and can prevent you decorating the room effectively. If you tile halfway up, except round the bath, you can then paint the walls and add artwork and shelving which all help to warm it up. Apricot is quite an old fashioned shade that wouldn’t sit well with those lovely geometric tiles, which are very modern and trendy. Here’s some ideas where grey has been used very effectively with wooden shelving and black lighting and accessories.

4 years agoDear Linda, these are gorgeous tiles. Blue is a nice option, we have recently used blue in a bathroom, it's a Fired Earth paint colour. You don't necessarily have to tile all the walls either - you can just tile the walls along the shower / basin unit. Here's a blue colour that's warm:
