I have looked and liked the stone print, but have been told that prints will quickly date and when costing, it doubles the cost of the splashbacks (which would blow the cost out to over 7k just for the splashbacks). Hence I am stuck for ideas.

Hi ysteb1 I found a tile that looks like a light beach style hardwood from National Tiles. They are long (1200mm) and narrow but I think the look will be nice. They are suitable for a bathroom so going to try them out.

you can go online to Bunnings or Kaboodle to make your own 2D & 3D plans or if you find that too difficult just go into Bunnings and ask them to do it for you, they have vanities similar to what you are considering. I would still choose the Oak it will give the bathroom a contemporary look with you black accessories to boot. As someone has already mention the darker will look like you have tried to match the floor and failed,good luck

Hello Christine Can you quickly photograph all the finishes, eg floor/wall tiels and the colour of the white stone vanity top. Without seeing the actual shades of colour it is a little bit of a shot in the dark. However, reading that you have a pearl white stone vanity top, I would be inclined to NOT have a white vanity, unless you are confident that the two whites work well together. The clue to the choice of the woodgrain is finding a woodgrain with a touch of the colour of the mud tiles, and/or the creamy eggshell tile on the other walls. In this way, you will create a link between the different finishes and textures. The white benchtop will tie in with the white of the WC, handbasin etc. I hope this helps. Take a big breath!
