Home Decorating Bathrooms Design Dilemma

how to decorate bathroom?

19 days ago

We are redoing our small (2m by 2m) family bathroom. We’re having an 1800bath along the window wall, a shower to the left of the door with a new partition wall. We want tiles on the floor. We’ve been advised against tiling the bath panel - what’s a stylish alternative? I liked the idea of green zellinge tiles but not sure where and what other colours to use with them.. maybe a row of white zellinge tiles around the bath? And the basin will either be a small corner basin, or could use all the space between partition wall (not there yet) for a large basin / cupboard, but would that look crowded? All advice welcomed! 🙏

You won't have room for a bath and shower enclosure. This is with an 1800x800mm bath and a 900x900mm shower enclosure.

Green zellige tiles sound beautiful! To keep a 2m x 2m room from feeling like a cave, I’d use the green tiles on just one feature area (like the shower enclosure) and use a clean white everywhere else. For the bath panel, painted tongue-and-groove looks amazing with zellige and is super practical for maintenance."

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!!

Just A couple of thoughts: If your shower tray was 1000x700 you would likely have enough space on the opposite side of the room to put the loo between the bath and shower. In turn this would leave more room for a bigger vanity and therefore more storage. Personally I would choose a metro tile with a dark grout and steel trims for the edges. Alternatively you could find a tile you like in more than one size. Use a smaller tile for decorative effect- perhaps you have a mosaic in a stripe up the wall?

As a case study I decided to use my own house to show you how you can not only maximise space in your home but also utilise every inch of space for each room. From the kitchen to the attic I have a created a video explaining how I achieved this and all within budget.
