This style would definitely work as well. It's a light and bright bathroom. If you look at the floor, this is what our sales rep was trying to explain. However, the more grout you have the more cleaning it will require. (Something to keep in mind) I do NOT like this floor. It reminds me of the linoleum my in-laws had in the bathroom when we moved into the house. It always looked dirty!
This picture shows very clearly, the transition between hardwood flooring (existing in Estate DeVries) into tile. Not a fan of 12" x 12" tile (although it does have its place) I really like seeing how the wood floor transitions into the bathroom. Have been struggling with how to transition. Is it worth choosing a different floor for just this area? Or should we just use the same flooring as in the rest of the addition?
Since we are looking for elements to incorporate into the design, we need to "broaden our horizons". Elements to observe: - concrete sink - "open" sink base (keeps things feeling spaciouos) - open shelving (organization at a glance) - wall mounted faucets - pebble backsplash (especially intriguing if the shower floor will be pebble) - floor tile (great dirt-hiding capabilities while looking great!) - wall to wall (shelf to shelf) mirror (creates a feeling of spaciousness) The one thing I want to avoid at all costs is "open" organization. In our previous bathroom, due to lack of storage, we had to have shelving as storage and I can't wait to have all the "stuff" tucked away in a spot. :)
Light and bright! In the absence of natural light, consider a sun tube! The brick pattern of the shower tile reiterates the brick pattern in the kitchen area. Even though the 2 spaces are not open-concept to each other, cohesiveness is achieved through the repeat of the pattern. The vanity in this space is a beautiful example of how something brand new can have a time-worn appeal
White subway tile is so versatile and timeless! In this pic, it's combined with rustic/traditonal elements that create a beautiful balance between the old and new. Pay particular attention to the grout colour between the subways, the slate floors and even the mirror and accessories do the job of making the 2 styles co-exist.
Certain elements of this bathroom merge well with the plan to combine a new addition with an existing century home. For ease of cleaning and overall maintenance in the presence of young children, a barnboard wall may not be the most practical application but the tile floor, the pebble floor in the shower and "brick" shower stall can be considered. The colours of the brick and pebble tile in the shower as well as the tile floor are very forgiving in terms of day-to-day use. I really like the shower and the floor! Barnboard wall is a little much.
I like the floor in here. Makes it look very long...
