I'm remodeling a small bathroom complete, my wife wants it grey. But we need help with color themes we can't have it to dark or it'll make look smaller. Don't want it to light because we have children. HELP please. ;)

Are you talking about painting, tiles, sink or fixtures?

Perhaps a medium toned decor would provide a good compromise.

From what your describing we had the same thing going on,I didn't like the ensuite( too small) and the bathroom needed to be bigger,so we got rid of the ensuite and put a door between our bedroom and bathroom like a jack and Jill.After a while I felt it just didn't work so we closed up the wall and we now have one big bathroom.im glad we did it now. I too wondered if it would devalue the house and I'm sure if a larger family moved in it could be a bit of a problem,maybe someone from the real estate world will pop in and give you some advice. Good luck with whatever way you choose to go.

I wouldn't change much regarding the layout/placement of white goods either. But it'd be possible to get some extra. For example, an L- or P-shaped shower bath would get a nicer shower space. You'd end up with the wider part by the window though so may then also consider opaque glazing or a screen there. A concealed cistern in the back wall would bring that forward by around 10cm. If you don't want to loose all that space, a boxed-in cistern and shelves above may give you a little storage back. On the washing machine: you triggered my inner geek :-) This may be possible. You need to research a few things for this: A) a slim depth washing machine (usually 425mm) B) availability of a height reduction kit for it (if these are avail gets height down from 850mm to 800mm) C) use an extra-flat bottle trap for the basin D) partly embed that into a thin washtable (to make the surface then a total of ~100mm above the machine) If all these go together it should just be possible to fit washtable, drains, basin trap and the machine underneath into a box about 910x600x500mm (HxWxD) which is kitchen unit height. The countertop sink would sit above that. Maybe a little bit of extra space could be gained still if you'd construct a basin from a flat shower tray with an integrated trap (a Wedi fundo plano is 60mm high) but I'm not sure how to put the washing machine drain on then. Good luck!

We’re doing one sort of similar, our layout is slightly different as in the kitchen is a galley on the right hand side. The architect is doing plans at the minute. In your drawing, we’d be taking down the garden room/kitchen wall, dining/kitchen and opening the whole lot. A pillar will also be left where your kitchen entrance is at the left side and we’ll make a breakfast bar here. It’s over our 20k> budget to put in more beams and planning is more of a headache. We’ll see what the plans look like for this first though as this may very well change. We’re going to try for a utility also. The architect mentioned going out into the side driveway a little. I’d make your kitchen the whole back room area (cabinets on the far left) and make the sitting room a snug or even a utility room. I’d even widen those walls at the dining/kitchen doorway and you can put doors there for privacy if needed. Close up one of those hallway doors entering the kitchen diner. Have the kitchen open out into the garden for a feel of more space. Excuse the doodle ha ha.

Looks gorgeous, I agree no changes needed. Something I didn't realise how much I'd love in my bathroom was a bath rack/ board which was a Christmas present from my sister. Had forgotten what a luxury taking time to enjoy a bath is ( wine is optional!!) My only instaworthy home pic!!!

When considering renovations, always think ahead to the future and choose a classic style that can challenge the test of time. That is especially true with color. Keep the fundamentals as neutral as possible - flooring, cabinets, and counter should be white, gray, beige. Take a look at the rest of your house and make sure it flows. If you generally have warmer colors like yellows and beiges in other areas, carry that into the bathroom. If they are cooler colors like blue-grays, stick to that theme in there as well. You can add bolder color that goes along with the color scheme by using paint on the walls and with the accessories such as the towels, soap dish, toothbrush holder, etc. When you are looking for materials, we can help make suggestions!

Using a mosaic tile on the floor will also help mask dirt.

A frameless sliding enclosure would open the area up.

A combination of light and dark colors can give you the best of both worlds. You can try a darker color with lighter accents or a lighter color with darker accents. I wouldn't limit yourself to just one color.
