...what would you have instead? Our bathroom is not very big. Just room for a bath (with shower over), sink and toilet. We desperately need storage, as the windowsill is cluttered with baskets of assorted dust-gathering stuff.
I've been looking at bathroom brochures but they all seem quite samey after a while, with minimalist beige tiles, futuristic mixer taps, shower screens, and wall-hung sink units with space under.
I'm sure I'm about 10 years behind the times, but I prefer a more homely look - not exactly nautical but borrowing from that, with fresh-looking painted wood, traditional hot and cold taps, maybe some tongue and groove panelling. However, although I have found some lovely freestanding units that would fit with that general style, they tend to be large with the sink inset into the top, and I fear they would eat up too much of our limited floor space. I'm also not a fan of having the sink fully inset and having to lean over it, especially if there's nowhere to put your feet.
I have also been looking at fitted units, which we had in our previous (rented) house, as these are more compact, can have a partially inset sink, are great for storage and easy to keep clean. But all seem to be either wood finish or white gloss, and very streamlined in style. So they score highly on practicality, I haven't found any styles that really grab me.
If we had something custom made, would it cost £££? Fitted units are not cheap in any case. What have other people done?
