Bathroom design ideas
We like:
Natural materials (I.e. wood, stone) - not too industrial
Fairly clean lines (although a patterned floor could be possible)
Something practical (was originally thinking white metro, but am not moving towards less grout/ easy to clean).
Any ideas/ advice would be most welcome. We don't have a huge budget (sadly Fired Earth is probably too expensive) but will equally spend more money on something nice.

6 years agoHi Kathryn, as it is small I would consider tiling the floor with lovely patterned tiles and tiling the wall areas with large format plainer matt tiles and matching the wall colour exactly with the wall tiles. This would make the space look large and unfussy. I have recently done 3 bathrooms and have used patterned tiles in two and they get so many compliments. Very practical and forgiving too. These images don't relate directly to what you may want but do show the beauty of a statement floor with understated walls.

Comments (9)Both Hansgrohe and (Friedrich) Grohe are German companies; Friedrich was a son of Hans who went on his own in the 1930s, so they share a certain heritage. These days, Grohe is larger and no longer family owned. Both produce outside Germany as well as on their original German sites still. Both produce "basic" and "high-end" ranges. They're both regarded well back home in Germany, much of the choice is down to personal preference. Hansgrohe is on average slightly more expensive (but not on everything). They also own the Axor design brand which has a more "ecletic" selection. One can mix-and-match; in our bath (bit messy, sorry - we're using it for the washing up while waiting for the kitchen to be installed), the mixer is Grohe as is the shower wall outlet, the shower rail and head shower arm (just above the shower screen) are Hansgrohe pieces. At least the chromed finishes are very close for the two: Both can be sourced well below retail list prices - if you're prepared to wait, German online sellers for bathroom goods tend to have many-months delivery timelines. For Grohe essentials (the classical Grotherm mixers) at least, any German DIY shop stocks these at very attractive prices (the difference to the UK retail price list will pay for the ferry ticket and fuel)....See MoreChoice of big bathroom, 3 bedrooms or tiny bathroom, 4 bedrooms.
Comments (13)If you intend staying here for a decade then you should make this house work for you and not the next people. I think that since you have already flagged extending in 10 years you should also future proof your plans now. If it were me I would have a bedroom where the current big bathroom is in order to give you the possibility of later extending over the ground floor extension. I would also want a super sized bathroom for my use - I have always believe the person paying the mortgage should have a better bathroom than people who visit three times a year. And I would take the view that when a loft bedroom is later added it won’t matter if one of the four bedrooms is compact. So I offer an alternative....See More

6 years agoHi Kathryn,
You could go for black geometric tiles (or monochrome combo) on the floor and couple it with marble tiles on the walls and the bath panels as your bathroom suite is quite traditional. Alternatively, you could use wood effect tiles on the floor and warm greys/browns or marble on the walls (Topps Tiles have a good selection at reasonable prices ). Something along these lines...clean, fresh and chic.
Best wishes,
Natalia

6 years agolast modified: 6 years agoHi Kathryn,
An elongated metro tile, such as our Diamante range, will give a similar effect as the metro tiles but with less grout lines and help to create the illusion of a more spacious room. Dark grout lines can also look really striking and are much easier to clean.
