Will the bath floor slope into the green tile area still, I see a current drain in the tiles. If this is the case I would continue tiles to keep waterproof integrity. Otherwise I would expect vinyl from hall could continue into the toilet and bathroom as long as they are laid as a direct continuation so don’t look piecemeal and the vinyl is suitable for use in toilet areas.

Moving the niche is not an option at this point. But I do have a question about the niche. My tile installer wants me to consider using the gray tile (same as the floor) on the inside edges of the niche. This is because the wall tile is glass and imperfections in the glass (from cutting it) will show if the glass tile is on the inside edge. How do you guys think that would look? I tried to find photos of a niche where the wall and back of the niche were one color, with the sides being a second color and I couldn't find any examples. Has anyone seen that?

I am planning an update for the large kitchen/dining/family area and new paint and floorcoverings throughout my late 1980's house. Looking for advice please on which white to paint my walls and doors to work to best advantage with: - doeskin (mustardy yellowish ) colour aluminium windows/sliding doors (painting window frames is beyond my budget) - jarrah (redddish brown) wood frames to main room doors in living area (thinking of changing these from stained to shiny wood finish) - a few special (handmade by hubby) jarrah furniture pieces to mix in with new styling. -woodgrained pattern vinyl tiles or bamboo flooring - new kitchen - probably simple white kitchen handleless cupboards (something that doesn't date too much) and a light speckled stone benchtop (room has low natural light) Was thinking of pale walls not to compete with yellow of windows or dark door frames and using splashes of greens in plants and accessories, gold and limited black, But maybe this is all wrong. Help please! What do you think? Some paint colours that may be possiblities among others are: Dulux: Natural White, Antique White USA. White Duck 1/8th, British Paints: White Beam Taubmans: Milk Cloud, Cradle White.

you can't go wrong with the basic black white grey and timber and the most cost saving ideas we use is to replace all the fixtures in the same location, check out mid range RAM taps, basic handles eg black steel or brushed chrome D handles are timeless and cheap, research all your local hardware, tile and plumbing suppliers for sale items in vanities and tiles and make that the beginning to match everything to those but first measure the spaces to know the quantities and sizes you need...do you have a plumber, tiler, waterproofer, electrician and carpenter already arranged as tradespeople will often be able to recommned suppliers and/or include their trade discounts but pick one feature lightfitting (we use old faithful paper lanterns!!) eg for an entry foyer or dining area and keep all the other lights very basic although we recently found some great pendants on sale ...best of luck with your reno
