Surely you have a basis to start, as you would definately know what you like and don't like. Start collecting images either online on houzz or pinterest, but also from magazines, this will start to form a picture that you can start imagining rooms from. Kitchens and bathrooms have built in fixtures that being semi permanent will be the hardest thing to select. Again draw inspiration from images and don't fuss over what's the kitchen trend of 2015. That's a gimmick, the trends are driven by you! The consumer, and they change as th year progresses, the tip is to stay true to your own tastes while learning and taking on board new and innovative things of the moment. If your thinking about a space that you want neutral and modern, then natural tnes and textures in your materials is the way to go over colour choices. Natural finishes include raw materials and tones, like timber, stone, concrete, glass and steel. Then there are textural and tactile elements that either have a visual or actual texture, like fabrics, again natural fibres are on trend like linen and suedes. Patterns at the moment are either organic or geometric. Organic are natural soft forms that work well with natures colours like greens, reds and blues, while geometric patterns are most dramatic monochromatic or tonal. start with these ideas, and think about fads, what's in right now most trendy will fade away quickest, so unless it's really you, thi about longevity and good design.

Timber adds warmth and coziness to a space which can be a great addition to a bathroom which can sometimes feel a bit cold. I would recommend a marine varnish be applied to the timber as a protection and to prevent mould and rot in a wet area.

HI Macyjean and Duck Duck yes it seems a good idea to have a push-cavity inserted. IMHO there is no such thing as too much storage in a small bathroom :-). And an exposed bin - no matter how nice - will always break the clean lines of the design, unless it's been designed there from the first place. I'm on board with inserting a push-door into the wall, however the wall with the cavity will be tiled. I wonder if I can put a discrete slim 200mm wide push-door in the space between the loo and the wall, and this part (out of the way) would not be tiled. I'll talk to my builder about it. Perhaps if it's only a matter of adding a noggin at this point and a cut-out in the villaboard, it will not be TOO expensive. Lining it and adding a door with a hinge is a small job for me to DIY PS LOL to the fluffy towels on the loo Macyjean, a dead give-away.
