Comments (2)Generally a larger tile will make a room look bigger than a smaller one as they are less 'busy' also go for lighter colours across all surfaces (ceiling, floor and wall) if you can to increase the light in the room. If a Building Inspector is involved you may need to keep a certain colour difference between surfaces, but in the past we have negotiated a band at skirting level and at the edge of the ceiling to satisfy the regulations which could be an option if needed. The old idea of using mirrors to open up a space really does work. I don't know if you will have a window - if so I assume from the description that it would be either a velux type roof window or a vertical dormer window - either way if you have one try and put a mirror opposite if possible so the room is opened up even further and the light bouncing around the space is amplified. I know Ideal Standard do 'Concept Space' fittings that are more compact than their traditional counterparts which might be worth a gander. You can also get WCs with a sink over the cistern, an though these have never personally appealed, sometimes a small space breeds necessity. Good Luck!...See MoreEn-suite Design Advice Needed...
Comments (5)cheers Robert Way Designers. I had considered making a feature which would conceal the waste as it has to run above the joists for a section unfortunately. i'd also like to include some concealed lighting - any advice on what to look for that's suitable for a wetroom/bathroom environment please?...See MorePlease help.

Comments (10)Initial thought is that 74x74 is a very small shower cubicle. In my work I’m currently involved in specifying a bathroom refit and we have rejected the proposed 80x80 as we feel it’s too small. We’ve asked for 80x100 instead, or more ideally 90x100. But one can only work with the space one has of course. Avoiding the step up is doable, provided the waste can be sunk low enough. Depends on the structure of the floor. It’s often much easier/cheaper to go with the raised tray. We’re having a new shower room at home and the floor is being designed so the tray can be sunk down so it’s almost level with the floor. But that’s the advantage of installing in a new section of building! Angie...See MoreEn-suite - Walk in wardrobe design dilemma
Comments (10)Thanks so much for taking the time to respond Jonathan, I really appreciate the input. My husband is kind of set on a balcony as we can see the river and he wants to be able to sit there with a cup of tea 😜. I don’t mind either way really, I just didn’t want to have chairs in the bedroom as I thought that would look odd? Your ideas have brought up an issue in my mind though about the balcony/possible seating for this view and the fact that we will need to keep moving it around when we open and close the doors. With the side window, the house is under a national trust covenant and so the side window is really there to look a little more aesthetically pleasing and to match downstairs. I know it seems to waste that whole wall though....See MoreMaya A
