Keen for ideas - pole house ensuite renovation

Hi,


We are starting our ensuite renovation. The previous owners had started this project before they sold the house. Our house is a pole house, so these poles run through both levels of the house.

We are looking for some design ideas and hoping to bring the 'outdoors' in. We are on a bush block and have a view to the forest.


Our ideas so far:

* convert the window into louvers and extend these down as far as possible. Note: the roof of our deck is under this part of our house, so we can't have floor to ceiling louvers.

* cut a hole in the wall where the shower niche is and install fixed glass to look out into bush. Make this the same height as the louvers.

* install a half wall to cover the pole and piping, and avoid having hard to clean areas i.e. around the pole.

* full shower screen to protect pole from water

* plumbing has been down for two basins, however we are only wanting one basin in our ensuite.

* keep toilet in the far corner, as plumbing is already done and line up with our downstairs toilet.


Looking for advice on tiles....

* what would love great in this space?

* do we tile up to door height (2100mm) all around, or just shower area, skirting, behind basin etc?

* what to do first - choose basin & vanity then work out tiles?


Ideas for storage too.... wooden shelves on the far wall?



Thanks for your suggestions.


Lesley
