Hi, would love to know what colour towels would suit our new bathroom ( mustard and grey tiles) and what colour linen for our bedroom!

Re the bathroom...I'm a big fan of white linen as it is so timeless and sophisticated and works absolutely any/everywhere! Having said that, if you wanted to mix it up, then maybe navy (eg http://www.bedbathntable.com.au/towels-all/dorothy-g-dorothy-080103) or black patterned (eg http://www.bedbathntable.com.au/towels-all/trellis-towel). Any textured towels should also be considered (eg http://www.sheridan.com.au/stevie-towel-collection-sh26-b114-c277-001-white.html). OR, go tre chi-chi and get personalised (eg http://www.sheridan.com.au/bathroom/bathroom-personalisation.html).

As for your bedroom, I think you've got two options: stay with neutrals or bring in some colour! If you were going to go the colour option, you could add that mustard yellow for consistency throughout the home, or go with Chloe's suggestion of turquiose, or a pink.

If you stick with neutrals, then make sure you add heaps of textures (which will really add nterest); linens, faux furs, chunky knits, silks. Think rug layering, scatter and euro cushions, throws etc. a series of artworks (black and white photos or abstracts in white frames for example) would also add that little sumthin-sumthin too! Hope that's food for thought! Merry Xmas!

For the bathroom I think a nice green or turquoise colour would look great! As for the bedroom, the colour palette is pretty neutral so you'd be safe with almost any colour.

Hi Nicole, the tub is awesome, I did pick the longest deepest I could and still relative narrowness. It is definitely a tub I can float in! With the added wine glass shelf, pillar for candles, chandelier with dimmer and ipod player .. I can linger for a about 2 hours. Best of all I can turn on the hot water tap with my toes as I slumber lol

Sounds like you're in desperate need of a larger bathroom to me. I think you'd really appreciate having a toilet in the same room as the shower as time goes by.

4 Bedrooms and 1 Bathroom, or 3 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms (ensuite)?

We're building 4x3.5 Two with ensuite and the others with a jack and Jill. Life has changed unfortunately and now everyone in the household works, kids stay at home longer and ageing parents sometimes move in for care. At the moment we have a 3 x 1 and really the only thing we really want for is a second toilet, which growing up we had because we had the one out the back with the red backs.

Can I fit an Ensuite Bathroom in my Bedroom?
Q

I think you can definitely do this, provided you can move your door which you said you can. I have an ensuite at the side of my main bedroom - it's small but perfectly adequate. I measured it and including all external walls the ensuite takes up 1.4 x 3.05m space (my bedroom including the ensuite is 4.7m long so shorter than yours.). My room is wider (3.9m) so I can have a wardrobe along the wall where your door is and the bed on the opposite wall. But for you, I'd keep your bed where it is and look at putting your bed in a 'wardrobe wall'. you have the depth (1000mm) before the window starts and I think 3.3 m is wide enough ... ~800mm robe either side of bed. See pics below for what I mean. Only you will know if this is too squeezy but an ensuite can make so much difference to your lifestyle, I think it could be worth it!

The mustard and grey recall lino of the mid 20th century. So you could look online at 60s ads and other pics for colours and patterns they used back then with mustard yellow/grey/white. The soft shade of grey is pleasant in bathroom and could be the dominant colour in towels.

If you type in Google for images - what colour goes with mustard and grey - turquoise is the colour that stands out. There is also navy blue and red.

For your bedroom - just about any colour you like - purple/mauve, turquoise, pale green, red, pink, etc.

Thanks everyone for the great advice!

i wasn't sure how to do a neutral bed cover when the base and walls are neutral.

Do eother if these bed sets work? One has pink in it and the other is linen.

i also wasn't sure how to style without a bed head.

thanks again for taking the time to give your suggestions ! :)

Personally, I like the one with pink in it. As for having no bed head, don't worry about it, those hanging lights make a statement. Just hang a piece of artwork/photo.
