Talk to me about bathrooms

DH has unexpectedly suggested we can redo our horrible, tired ensuite bathroom. I am thrilled, because I hate it – but that means I now need to decide what I want, and I am all of a dither.

So – hit me with your ideas for small bathrooms! It needs to contain a loo, basin and shower enclosure. The current shower is 760 x 760 and can’t be bigger (boo). I want something that looks sleek, dramatic, luxurious and (maybe) a little bit different. I love a Pinterest hunt as much as the next person, but I don’t even know what to search for a the moment!

Things I am dithering about include, but are not limited to: tile the whole lot, or stick to paint on some of the walls? Have the same tiles on the walls and the floors, or have different? If different, should have I have LVT or stick to traditional tiles? Big rectangular tiles or something funkier (I saw some hexagons that I liked recently)? Is slate good, or terribly passe? Where should I look for sanitary ware?

Budget isn’t unlimited, but neither are we on a shoestring. Any thoughts, advice, or general bathroom wisdom would be gratefully received!

We have panels for our shower - soooooo much easier to clean.

It's really worth getting a plumber round to look at your existing fittings to see what might work. We swapped our sink and shower and I don't think it affected the price massively, but the work in our case was relatively straightforward.

TheClitterati I don't know, I haven't actually got them/used them, but I assume you need to stick them to marine grade ply?

They do look good, but I have a hankering for tilesSmile
