Your renovations are well underway, so after seeing the small floor plan and that the vanity is on an internal wall and you apparently still want the Shaving Cabinet. Having cavity brick walls I would get your brickie to remove a section of the brick wall so that the shaving cabinet can be recessed back into the cavity, this will overcome any concerns you have about bumping your head, this opening can then be patched along with other walls. I would take all of your photos and measurements to someone like Reece to pick a hand basin to fit,, I would also keep in mind that if say the width of the vanity is around 900 the shaving cabinet would match that width and you would end up with say 2 x 450 mirrored doors, which puts the mirror join in the middle and in your face when using the vanity. cheers

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>@mybeautifulabode thank so much for your reply! Vanity will be white shaker style (satin finish) with marble look quartz benchtop :-) I actually found out it does come in matt so grabbed a sample, here is a pic of the floor and white tiles I’ve chosen with both the matte and the gloss Carrara tile. I think maybe the matt (on the bottom) looks a bit whiter? But I could be splitting hairs? Lol Do you (or anyone) think one of these is better than the other? It’s a terrible pic as it’s night time and in my lounge room but hope it at least gives an indication

From our recent projects, we can see that fewer people are tiling or using the same material all over the walls in bathrooms. Your options would be: - Add similar coloured tile to the paint in the bathroom to only add texture while keeping the colour scheme the same. - Or to Contrast and make either the paint stand out or the tile, like some of the photos you've attached. - However the above two options are not relevant if the rest of your bathrooms are all tiled and therefore the guest bathroom might stand out or look very different to the rest of your home. In this case, you should listen to your tilers' advice. From projects, we have been part of, it is all about consistency that makes space/design look seamless.

Hi all! Thanks so much for for the comments. Things look much clearer now :) The other walls will be plain white matt tiles 60x30 cm and the floor very pale matt gray , ceiling white, so very similar look like the photo. Bath tub white free standing, all fitings stainless steel and quite minimal. The vanity might be in light timber but I might keep it white. The mirror will be large (not massive) and will reflect the wall nicely, at the same time will make the room look bigger . I don't renovate the unit for sale, but even if we do down the track the colors/pattenrs are not too striking so I'm sure they will be appealing. The builder had said the same thing about the new types of grouting , so I won't worry too much about it anymore. I've decided to go with the wall behind the tub/shower. With some plants on the window as I have now, I can see it looking qute nice and warm. I personally dislike bathrooms in cream or gray tones that look like hotel bathrooms without character that are there only to serve a purpose. Cheers!
