We're doing our family bathroom and ensuite and I want to have a nosey at some ideas.. are there any good websites with ideas - thinking mostly about tiling - want understated look that won't date quickly.

Count me in for a chat about options Scrappy.
I'm doing ours too and likewise want a look which won't date. I was thinking of white tiles and then a Farrow and Ball Light Blue paint above them, then wood or Amtico woodalike stuff on the floor.

I can't think of what sort of tiles to get. I like the Metro type/ subway ones in white but am worried that they've been around a while and will date.

Sounds nice - I would have thought white tiles of any kind won't date as much as coloured/patterned.

We were thinking a natural/travertine kind of look for the ensuite and a bit clueless for main bathroom - maybe white tiles with mosaic border? Trying to go for 'grown up ensuite' and 'family bathroom'

Its quite hard because they are both small (well I would say typical) rooms and all the pictures of bathrooms you see tend to be cavernous rooms with a freestanding bath etc I know they need to show off their stuff but I'm after ideas for plebs like us

I like the sound of that. What flooring are you thinking of for the family one?
We will have that sort of combination - the family bathroom is quite bright whilst the en suite is going to be a grown-up sanctuary.

Our family bathroom is very cramped but our ensuite is quite large - the latter means it's not going to be feasible to tile it all from top to toe including the floor as it would cost so much.

I've got my eye on this bath: www.victoriaplumb.com/Baths/Roll-Top-Baths/Boat-Roll-Top-Bath_17.html

It's quite reasonably priced although online only and I'm reluctant to order if I can't see it in person first.
