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.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By Spartacus · Posted

      Today we are seeing the impact of increased taxes (employers NI) with tje UK unemployment rate rising  https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxrp7znkdlo Unfortunately, to increase tax burdens will see the economy stall or a recession, as Angelina says, cutting spending, whilst painful short term, is a good way to bring down government borrowing.  True, we don't want to see cuts to services but there are other areas of government spending that can be reduced and with AI impacting all jobs across all businesses, maybe it will also reduce overall staffing costs.

      or cut costs.  The cost of debt is a huge burden, it cannot be increased.

      Yes, they should clearly have been more honest on taxes before the election and not backed themselves into a corner. After 14 years of mismanagement and decline, they have to invest and at the same time start to bring borrowing down (otherwise they continues to be at the mercy of the bond markets). Continued cuts / degrading of public services is counter productive (a successful economy and society needs good infrastructure, education and health care).  The single biggest thing they could do to immediately improve growth would be to rejoin the single market, but I appreciate that is difficult politically.  So if you can't significantly boost growth short term, can't cut too much further, and need to raise money without borrowing, that only really leaves taxation.    Of course, where best to target those taxes - that's the real question.
