What to put on walls in downstairs toilet - what do you have?
Comments (15)Hi Dynamo, I'm responsible for the design in your photo and delighted you like the look of this room. You would only need a few square meters of the split mosaic tiles which are available of sheets, so not expensive for a striking feature. Also, easy to keep free of dust with a quick once over with a dust pan brush, or brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner . WC's are often overlooked but when you consider its a room you use every day and your guests use too, why not make it an enjoyable experience! An alternative and very inexpensive idea for your walls and my signature in practically every home I renovate, is installing 6mm MDF panelling with a 10mm shadow gap in between each panel, apply with Pink Gripfil adhesive. 600mm x 600mm square or horizontal panels of any height add a sense of depth and soul to boring flat, painted walls. A sheet of MDF is cheap as chips, just make sure you prime and undercoat thoroughly with a mini roller before applying eggshell finish or acrylic paint. It's not a main bathroom so not susceptible to humidity, therefore emulsion paint in a contrast shade will work well too. To see an example of panelling on a larger scale (Wenge stained Oak veneered MDF), take a look at the sitting room wall in the Chelsea Harbour apartment featured on my profile page....See Morelocation of downstairs toilet please

Comments (0)Hi, we are going through a ‘love it or list it’ exercise and the sticking point seems to be where could we fit a downstairs toilet. The bathroom is sited directly above the dining room so would make sense to site it there but would mean what is already a small dining room. Alternatively it could go in the utiility which has windows all around but would mean blocking up windows and reducing further the light into an already dark kitchen. Sitting under the stairs is not an option as we had a new boiler put in there and the roof height is too low. Also not keen to have a toilet off a kitchen and not sure if this is allowed anyway. Another thought is in the single storey extension but when that is used as an occasional bedroom it would mean access via the bedroom. Also a bit worried about how plumbing and waste would get to that part of the house. Any suggestions welcome. Planning on a new kitchen at somr point if we stay so not precious about moving kitchen around. Ps please expand the picture to see the full floor plan!...See MoreLayout ideas for kitchen/diner and downstairs toilet in small space.
Comments (7)Hi, I definitely wouldn’t install a toilet next to the dining area (no privacy), not would you have room to create a corridor - you’d need 3ft for sure and that would leave you with only 7 ft 7” in the dining area, which is a bit of a squash. So the best idea is to create a utility/toilet in the kitchen, as you say, on the left behind the stairs. If the wall between the back door and the sitting room is 3ft-3ft 6” I think you could create this space without moving the back door. But it would be big enough fir toilet, cloakroom basin and the washing machine and dryer stacked, if you have one. You mentioned turning the window into glass doors, but I’d be reluctant to do that simply because you then lose more wall space for the kitchen cabinets and you’re already losing a wall between the kitchen and dining area. But you could change the back door for a fully glazed one to let more light in. I tried putting an island with overhang (3ft in depth to allow for bar stools and storage) but the space would very tight, even running the island vertically on the plan as you need the best part of 3ft to walk either wide of it, so possibly a peninsular would fit best. As you are short of wall space for the fridge freezer, would you consider installing it under the stairs, depending on its size? Ps I meant to say, best option for the toilet door in the kitchen would be a sliding ?barn style door or pocket door if you had the room....See Moreminnie101
