Kate, I'm perplexed that you call Lexicon grey as it has a blue base, do you see it as grey??? I have been trying to make up my mind about the colours I want to use in my home and as I like neutrals, I was going to go with Hog Bristle but my daughter has it in her home and because she has timber flooring, it looks like a lemony yellow. Interesting how people see the same colour differently. Anyway, back to the towels. I agree with Jeannie, a pop of colour is nice. Get a few different colours from Target or similar, keep the docket, see which colour does it for you and return the others, cost nothing, as the returns can be exchanged for the colour you like, you could buy quite a few different colours this way. Good luck. Cheers, Barbara

You could use this great looking tile as your vanity splash back, your shower recess or rear wall and use a standard lower cost coordinating white tile as a secondary filler. Like he main walls in a satin rectangle laid in a stretcher bond like a giant subway, rectified with minimal grout, and then this gorgeous tile with a mid grey grout to emphasize the fantastic form. It would make for higher impact of the feature tile, and add functionality by fully tiling all areas. Easy to clean, reduces moisture related issues or even just unsightly condensation and cleaning scenarios. Mould retardant additives can be put into standard paint, although in a bathroom, I'd go a low sheen white with mould retardant for this reason. Low sheen should be flatter than satin, little shine at all, but equal to a matte tile.

I'm in Canberra and we've recently installed underfloor heating in our bathroom. We only caught the tail end of this winter, but the underfloor heating dries the towels out fine, so don't miss not having heated towel rails. We haven't installed any additional heating, but I'm not expecting to need it. Probably need to have it a full winter to pass final judgement on that though.

without knowing the length of the original line cupboards i've allowed 1200mm and my suggestion loses the window in the toilet but this arrangement provides more privacy between the bathroom and living areas and can be reversed either way btw with a mirror doored wall cabinet the 1600 wide vanity provides substantial extra storage for bathroom towel
