Oooo, I love your encaustic tile, beautiful. I love this look, one of my all time fav bathrooms below. I would probably go with the small tiles, but only personal preference. I would also match the wall grout colour to the wall tiles. How are planning on laying them? That might make a different in which one you choose. Both would look gorgeous though, you really can't go wrong with either option!!

I don't think any paint will make it less obvious, unless you can source some invisible paint! As you said the new opening actually draws attention to the lowness of the arch. I would consider lowering the new opening to match the high point of the arch so there is more consistancy. When you repaint the ceiling continue the matt white ceiling paint down the wall above the arch, then paint the arch and the wall above the arch on the other side. By creating a visual connection with a white ceiling will make it seem lighter. A dark colour will make it visually heavier. Best of luck, Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls

It was crossover between the 70s and the 80s modernist Cathedral ceiling open planned home with clay usually with clay bricks you can find planting Aspendale Gardens as well all englehart is a builder of this style or was that have a different style now that's a job with builder's they change their Styles to keep up with the modern wants current you be better off buying a second-hand one because people have tried to build them and all the wood in them is very expensive and he better off buying a second-hand one because to build new the wood is so expensive to do the beans and everything in the there's some in Brighton with the use the word seder

Yes. It is difficult to describe one's style. Have no idea what style but you seem to like: 1. Having a clear link to outside greenery/nature (bringing outdoors in). 2 Lots of light via big windows. 3. Pitched ceiling. 4. Simplicity - square set cornices. 5. House to have a natural elements.. 6. Colour scheme: white/naturals/navy/black/splashes of timber in each room. 7. Division of living space by change of levels. 8. The simple design of house allows your artwork and nature outside to shine. (I like the same style as you, apart from the timber walkway as a must and I often struggle to know what to tell people in shop the look I am going after).
