bathroom inspiration


Recommended Posts

We have a tiny bathroom and did it a few years ago. It looks much bigger now with a few tricks on the eye. Use big tiles on the floor and have them climb a few inches up the wall as your skirting. Makes the floor look bigger. Keep the vanity off the floor, pick something attached to the wall. Ideally same with toilet. We hid our cistern in the wall. We built a bath panel with an indent in the bottom and put a strip of lights under the bath that makes it look floating..

We just had a small shower room designed for our loft (I think about 1.8m x 2.something) and Tony of Bells on Lordship Lane did a fantastic job of designing it as I was tearing my hair out with unhelpful high street stores. I went in and they sat me down and did a CAD for me and then within my budget were able to direct me to choose the fittings while taking account my must haves (eg big shower with sliding door but no dust traps and creaky mechanisms; concealed toilet cistern and sink)and suggesting nice extras like a big wall to wall mirror to make the space feel bigger.

As they are independent they have a huge range of choices so were able to find me fittings that matched our dimensions and style perfectly. What I hadnt realised is that with bathrooms, you can pretty much always find something in the dimension you want if you know where to look eg they found me a nice low profile shower tray at 1800x600 but I could have got it in 1500x600, 1400x600 and so on.

There was no obligation to buy but i was more than happy to, given the level of care they took over the design (several hours!) I don't know how the price compared to high street stores but it was within the budget I gave them.

Now I just can't wait for it to be finished and have chosen neutral tiles from Topps Tiles.

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
