Bathroom renovations - stick to square floor tiles?
Comments (13)I work in tiles and a trick you can use is to lay the tile horizontally on the 'narrow wall'. This gives an optical illusion that the room is wider. These tiles at around $50 each can certainly add up so a wise use would be to use as high impact. In the ensuite use them behind the bath for the whole wall. Use white wall tiles for the rest of the walls. If you want to add more colour, tile the spa box in an colour tile that exactly matches the blue or grey from the pattern tile, use a matching grey tile on the floor instead of white. Or use the pattern tile behind the spar, make the rest of the room white and add a matching grey vanity. It's a lovely tile but may become a bit gaudy if you have a bit here there and every where. Again with the main you will probably not get an exact match with the outer room timber floor and it could look like you tried to match it and couldn't better to go for a complete contrast. Use the same tricks as the spa bathroom and don't forget matching blue towels for a bit o colour. Hope this helps....See MoreBathroom Feature Wall with same tiles as floor tiles???
Comments (9)Hi Sofia I definitely think brick lay would work better on the walls in the bathroom purely because you have a 30x30 on the floor and a 30x60 on the wall. You will find the tiles could look out of place trying to stack them. It would be a different matter if they did not share 1 or more dimension. Perhaps in the ensuite, consider doing something like this: [https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/what-architecture-beirutful-house-eclectic-patio-london-phvw-vp~14310278[(https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/what-architecture-beirutful-house-eclectic-patio-london-phvw-vp~14310278) Tile the floor and half way up the back wall with the "floor tiles", perhaps a tile or 2 above the vanity unit and then continue with the white tiles to the ceiling. You could hang your mirror so it covered about 1/4 of the "floor tile" and 3/4 of the white above the centre of the sink. In the main bathroom consider something like this: [https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/victorian-dream-bathroom-victorian-bathroom-london-phvw-vp~39122647[(https://www.houzz.com.au/photos/victorian-dream-bathroom-victorian-bathroom-london-phvw-vp~39122647) Tiling the back wall to the shower in the "floor tile" to the ceiling with the white tiles behind the loo to the ceiling. Alternatively, tiling the entire back wall with the "floor tiles". The first option may make the bathroom feel smaller if the shower takes up more than 1/3 of the back wall. Doing the two different options would give the bathrooms continuity, but also some individuality. I hope this helps. Look forward to perhaps seeing the outcome.

Comments (9)Hi Donna. I’m asking myself that same question; trying to work out if it will really matter, and if I do decide to paint the outside, where do I stop? And will I be creating a maintenance nightmare in years to come. It’s not immediately obvious that the internal and external parts are different colours. I notice. Others don’t. You can see the diff when you’re at an angle, but you have to be looking for it. And who stares at your window frames? People are usually looking outside, beyond the frame. Excuse the mess and half finished paint job, but these pics may give you an idea of what to expect. It’s more obvious on the sliding door, but only when close up and from an acute angle. This will look dramatically better when I finish painting the door frame....See MoreHelp with concrete flooring to tiled bathroom
Comments (10)I would recommend going a darker colour too! We have done it several times with clients who (like yourself) can't see what the finished concrete aggregate will look like until afterwards and the darker the better we have found. Like Zaffa said, it would be amazing if you could extend the concrete into the bathroom, as that can be absolutely beautiful and this aggregate look is a fantastic addition to a bathroom. However if you want to break it up I would go for a dark charcoal (large format) tile so you don't risk clashing colours. Darker bathrooms are really stylish so you don't risk sacrificing on style. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need any help selecting specific tiles as we know how overwhelming it can be and are happy to help. Best of Luck, Jordan from JFI Studios!...See More

5 years agoHi Audrey, appreciate what you're saying. Here are a couple of bathrooms we recently did in Melbourne that might be helpful for inspiration.
