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 MoreCharcoal, pale grey or white floor tiles in bathroom ?
Comments (17)Hi Audrey, appreciate what you're saying. Here are a couple of bathrooms we recently did in Melbourne that might be helpful for inspiration. As a rule, we try to avoid white tiles (& white grout) on the floors for the cleaning issue you mention.

Comments (8)For vanity top, chose either a laminate, or engineered stone such as quartz eg: caesarstone, Essastone or silestone.You can get some wonderful laminate colours now, at very budget conscious prices. Look at Laminex and Polytec brands. Acrylic bench tops, in my opinion are dated. Have you looked at the semi inset basins. Basins really come back to personal preference for shape, height. If you have a basin on top of bench top, then install taps in the wall. If you choose inset or semi inset basin then taps installed in basin. Shower must be no smaller than 900 x 900mm. Freestanding bath would be a waste of space in your bathroom. I have attached a photo of a semi inset basin, (caroma) on a laminate bench top (Polytec)...See MoreAdvice needed!

Comments (11)This with the extra width you suggested the built in bath with a large shower space next to, the shower head coming off the opposite wall to help avoid water to window, the window would be best tiled, the wall with the shower door into "The wet room could be all glass up to the vanity. There are several suitable places for towel hanging and an extra storage cabinet could be above the toilet, I forgot to add this...See MoreReham Arnaout
