We’ve just painted our bathroom a dark green (Farrow & Ball Duck Green), but the flooring/cupboard are still mismatched. I was hoping staining the cupboard would make it match better, but it is looking a little too old fashioned for us. Any ideas how we can modernise the look? Thinking in terms of flooring and the cupboard, mainly - either something clean and classic, or industrial-modern?
Oh, and also toying with the idea of tiles around the sink and stretching across room, like image attached - too much for the space?

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 MoreContemporary bathroom inspiration
Comments (7)I have to confess to being obsessed with midnight/inky blue at the moment so would never say a room is too small for dark tiles ;) If it really worries you, just make it a feature wall, with something toning on the others.. however there are some great examples on here: and some make great use of mirrors to reflect the light around the room. Here's just a couple I've found.. https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/classical-contemporary-master-spa-bath-contemporary-bathroom-phoenix-phvw-vp~158809 https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/chiswick-apartment-1-contemporary-bathroom-london-phvw-vp~43258498 https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/murrayfield-villa-contemporary-bathroom-edinburgh-phvw-vp~12253627 https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/residential-project-contemporary-bathroom-london-phvw-vp~70628413 https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/noir-luxury-en-suite-contemporary-bathroom-surrey-phvw-vp~33883615...See MoreBathroom Design Inspiration
Comments (32)You are right. i went into BQ yesterday to see what an 800 x 800 shower was like - IT WAS TINY. I think I need a 1000 x 800 minimum and as such whipped up two layouts where one requires the toilet to move to a new party wall whereas the other keeps the toilet on the exterior wall but moved closer to the window. The second layout proposal results in a small gap between toilet and shower enclosure. Im concerned that gap might be too tiny to walk through? FYI Wall with the window is exterior Wall to the left separates bedroom Wall with the door is internal Wall with the proposed toilet is the party wall with neighbour. i have also posted a vanilla layout of the room size including window and just the door. Is one of the proposed layouts better than the other? Are there any other layouts I could consider? Layout 2 - is the gap between the shower enclosure and toilet be ok? Vanilla Layout Layout 1 - requires toilet to move to party wall....See MoreHelp me design my perfect bathroom!
Comments (15)Hi Leanne, I think it's a great idea to combine two small ensuites and make a larger more luxurious bathroom, particualrly if it's for occassional use. One suggestion, if you're looking for the 'wow' factor and are installing a slipper bath, I would make that the focus and position it in front of your sliding doors so that you see that from your landing (and not the loo!) It would mean moving the toilet (and wash basin) to the wall where you have the bath currently so might require a little more plumbing to get the waste to the exterior wall but a qualified plumber will be able to manage that. In terms of decor, have you consider acrylic shower panels? For a large walk-in shower it could look quite impressive? There are varioous finishes and colours and it gives a seemless smooth finish which looks very spa-like. Best regards, Jo, Room4 Interiors...See More
