I much prefer the 2nd. I’m not that keen on the wall tiles though and don’t think they really work with the floor? Love the pendant lights too but would consider whether you can see in the mirror (i have this issue in my bathroom!)

Thanks for your feedback! I really like the second one too but can't pinpoint why, plus I'm worried if it will look the same if i don't get the right tiles/vanity. It seems a but more difficult to achieve as we've got some similar shade textured tiles for a feature wall. I hope it won't be too much going on...

Can I fully tile a bathroom which was half -tiled 10 years ago?

I am a tiler so its in my interest to persuade people to fit more tiles but I agree with the other people who are questioning why you want to do this. You can transform the room with wall paper as Kerosis suggests and if you tire of that in a few years it is easy to remedy. I always point out to people that tiles are put on the wall as a practical durable easy to clean surface and therefore it is often not necessary to put them everywhere. If you do decide to fit tiles then you should remove the paint on the walls 1st as that was only ever designed to hold itself on the walls and it doesn't matter how brilliantly your adhesive hangs onto that paint if the extra load causes the paint bond to fail then your tiles will no longer be bonded to the wall (no such problem with lightweight wallpaper :-) Terry the tiler

Update -- my plumber finally returned. Not sure what he did while here, but he told me again it wasn't working -- then he did some work on a radiator which had a small leak. We were having a long discussion about options on pumps, new showers, taps etc and I read out the installation guide and he tried it again, and suddenly it worked. It is bizarre as I don't know how many times i tried it previously. My friend who works in construction ALSO called earlier today and tried it several times to no avail. It must have been extremely stiff or perhaps the plumber realised some airlock whilst fixing the radiator since I think water pressure is much stronger since he went. Thanks for everyones help -- i learned lots on plumbing and a valuable lesson to take out the installation manuals myself and not trust that trades men know everything!!! I feel like celebrating!!

Which bathroom layout to go with ??

Option 1 or 4. Option 1 - would depend on which way you access your cupboard and how desperate you are for the storage it provides. Option 4 - I would flip the door to open the other direction and consider changing the radiator to a towel radiator. This option will give the more spacious feel at the sacrifice of the cupboard. There are ways to incorporate additional storage, such as making a full cabinet under the sink.

Hi. I'm a bit confused, have you bought the vanity and are looking to paint it? Is the rest of the bathroom fitted as you could add brass or copper taps for instance with a matching mirror? Accessories will also warm it. I like a little wooden stool in a bathroom which you can add accessories to i.e. A candle, natural sponge, flannel etc which has some texture. A plant on the window sill if you have one and then nice accessories for the sink and either some coloured towels or I like hammam ones. I've found a couple of pics but they may not post as houzz has issues :( These are using deep rich colours which may bring the cabinet towards you a little. A darker top for the vanity would also work

I love the warmth of the wood vanity with the 2nd design. Although marble is a design classic i just think the 2nd may possibly have more longevity as there’s nothing to go off of?

I really like your feature tiles but they’re pretty on trend, where are they going? i’d just consider if they can easily be changed when trends/taste change. I only say that as my kitchen tiles make quite a statement but they're restricted to around the oven and were relatively cheap

The vanity definitely brings a warmth to it. Was thinking to have the feature wall on the wall the vanity will be.

I prefer the 2nd two. It feels warmer & more relaxing with the natural wood. Personally, I wouldn’t want to stay long in the marble one so maybe consider whether it’s just for quick morning showers or relaxing baths? Which one seems more in keeping with the rest of your home?

It's actually the downstairs bathroom and will be used during the day by all the family plus any guests. I think because this is the bathroom guests will see i thought the 1st option has more of a wow factor whereas 2nd has a more relaxed vibe to it although the 2nd one is more in keeping with the house as we have light grey matt tiles through all the ground floor and grey and black open plan kitchen.

The second is definitely warmer and cosier if that fits in with the general feel of your home. I like the clean lines of the first one but it's just too severe with all the tiles. I would just tile the shower and floor then paint the remaining walls for a more restful feel.

As a couple of years have passed since this dilemma was first posted I’m wondering if there’s been any progress on this bathroom?
