Seriously you need to check out the Kerlite cladding. No need to sand, the variety is huge even wood look. All you need to do is put on a thicker screed. As I said you do need a tiler that has laid it before. Once it's down, it will never break. Google it, the range is amazing and really beautiful. I did ask the tiler about using it over slate and he said not a problem. Got mine from tile expo.

Hi Amanda, the hexagon tiles on the floors will absolutely look great too and if that's the dream, then go for it. Personally, I would also try to run the hex tiles up and over the bath hob if your budget allows. A light grey grout (instead of white) and also sealing the grout properly will help to maintain. I like both vanities, they are very similar, and would probably go with the one that offers the most drawer space as there's not a lot of storage in the bathroom (speaking of which, add a niche in the shower area if you can). Also bear in mind the toilet roll holder and make sure it can be fixed to the side of the vanity despite the drawer (as you can't fix to the other side of the toilet which I presume will have a glass shower screen). Lastly, I know you've already mentioned white, but have you considered timber (or timber-look) panels for the drawer fronts? It's just a suggestion, but it will bring some warmth into the modern space and may also be another way to tie in with the federation style of the home. Found those couple of photos to give you an idea how you can introduce timber... https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/designer-bathroom-project-contemporary-bathroom-melbourne-phvw-vp~32381930 https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/neutral-bay-house-contemporary-bathroom-sydney-phvw-vp~19885477

Ania, can you post photos when it is finished. It will be good to see those colours combined. I also love that inspiration photo and have it saved. I don't know what particular thing makes that bathroom stand out but it is beautiful. I want those exact same colours in my bathroom but a too scared to use timber tiles as I am scared they will date so am bringing in timber via accessories such as picture frames (I think). What is the grey tile in your photo and where is it from...it is very nice.

Yes, I was hoping that they would post photo on here, as they have a lot of beautiful bathrooms on this site, but it is a recent one, so they havent posted yet and I think they will be closed over this period, when a lot of sales are on...I have sold my car yesterday and so now have the funds to finally get my bathroom reno progressed...yay!
