Hi Kirsty, could you please advise the colour of your vanity and whether it is a custom made one and if not, could you let me know its name and where you bought it. Also, what is the colour of your floors tiles and where did you get them from. (I have come to the conclusion that charcoal/dark grey tile plus a much lighter grey tile plus white on some walls plus a timber vanity or timber accessories in bathroom , plus white (or close to it) below sink counter top is the way to go for a beautiful bathroom. The trick is figuring out exactly what proportion of each colour to use and where to put them for each particular layout.

The appeal of a highly polished natural marble, limestone or travertine shower is undeniable every owners wish! Below is a photo of how you DO NOT want your beautiful marble shower to look.

Hi Sue, I love oklouise ‘s and JE C’s ideas, also your tiles are fab, I think you could love them, try adding some gorgeous items to the bathroom that will give it a really stylish look, could look fabulous

Are you tiling the shower base? If so the larger the tile then the more cut tiles will be needed to get the drainage right to direct water to the floor waste. If it is a small bathroom make sure that your tiler aligns the grout lines on the floor with the grout lines on the wall. If they are slightly offset they look pretty bad. Would you consider using the same 300x600 tile on the floor and wall? If so then lay the tiles horizontally, not vertically. However with any good tiling job the better, flatter and straighter the wall is before tiling will result in a better result. Don't expect your tiler to make a perfect job if the walls are not perfect before they start! Best of luck Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls and Dr Retro Virtual Visits
