Comments (3)It's fair to say you are wanting to change the appearance of the brick without removing it, so covering the brick is the way to go. Obviously you can paint it, the simplest transformation and the options for that are almost endless including texture, metallic or effect paints are considerations. You could cover it with a cladding of some description. Lining boards might suit the character if it's an old home, run them horizontally or vertically for different looks. Tile over them there are patterned, three dimensional tiles, metallics or stone tiles that can create a real focal point. the most simplistic way to cover it would be to gyprock it, using a sheet adhesive Ruhr onto the brick face, but then you will have lost the character of it, and be left with a protruding wall instead. This could work in a modern interior, perhaps even an older one, for me, I would first paint it and if it's not effective enough, then tile it. If you are crafty, you could mosaic the brick face with a collection of old patterned plates, some you've used, others you can find in pop shops, whichever, a colour theme is important doing this. Blue and white china would be so striking if you have a white surround as in a mantel or shelf above , which you could easily install if you don't. This would work within your yellow colour scheme too....See MoreWhere to install ceiling shower rose
Comments (16)I see what you mean, 2100x2100 is not huge, but its certainly workable, is this a reno and are you working within an existing structure and if so existing plumbing as well?... I still think you can have a better layout to make better use of the space, looks like you're trying to cram everything in one corner of the room with an entire wall (to the left) dedicated to towel rails?... I see you've noted bedroom and hallway at the bottom, does that mean the bedroom is only linked to part of the ensuite and if so how much of the ensuite actually connects? presumably where you'll have the cavity sliding door... my suggestion to find a way to enclose the shower a little is not only to limit water splash but also to create some privacy from the toilet in the event that both are being used at the same time, could be a bit awkward? I was thinking maybe a nib wall with glass panel on top... I would actually also consider doing a nib wall where the vanity is and have the floating vanity from the left wall to the nib wall as that little gap you've got at the moment between the vanity and the shower screen would be difficult/annoying to clean... incidentally, the 540 depth of the wall hung toilet, does that include the cistern or will that be hidden behind the ensuite wall?...See MoreLooking to Renovate your Bathroom?

Comments (14)My two cents worth would be to extend the tiles to cover everything below the canopy of the extractor (could go higher but that would be the minimum) and use that as your level on the other wall. So you ignore the curved glass (I assume that that's kind of the point of being transparent) and go with the straight edges of the tiles. You certainly wouldn't want a funny little segment of painted wall below the curved glass – it will look awkward and be very difficult to keep clean. My remaining concern is – have you already installed the rangehood or can it be easily taken back down to allow the tiler to do a really good, neat job and then the rangehood can be installed nice and tight against the tiles?...See MoreElaine Stone
