Can’t think of anything more disgusting than carpet in a bathroom. Impossible to keep clean and dry, particularly with a toilet in the bathroom. There is huge range of bathmats available to keep your feet warm that you can just throw in the washing machine or even timber mats you can wipe clean

I would have to say, it is not, a no no. However, how you decide to do this will determine whether it is positive or negative. If the toilet is in direct view as you enter it is likely to be negative, but the impact can be reduced with a smaller pan and an in-wall cistern. Noise and smell are often factors that will influence the decision. So, the smell can be overcome with an automated odor extraction system and there are also low noise inlet valves available. As far as property value is concerned there is a multitude of scenarios and just as many opinions, so consider how much convenience this will give you and how long you intend to stay in the property? perhaps it may be better enjoy your home the way you would like it to be.

I love those long floorboards/wood-look tiles and they are the feature so you wouldn't want something too busy on the walls... personally I would go with a larger format say 300x600 rectified edge white tile with a matt finish for the Hamptons look... what's your vanity?... a timber one would tie in nicely with the floors and all the white... very Hamptons :)
