After much debate (and some amazing MN insights from many previous bathroom threads!) our new bathroom will look something like this basic picture. Two walls fully tiled in a neutral tile, bath panel also in same tile. A partition wall built out and fully tiled, there will be an alcove with shelf, accent tiles and perhaps lights. The wall will house a concealed cistern and a wall hung vanity unit sink to hopefully make the floor/bathroom appear larger. Mirrored cabinets will be fitted in for storage and include shaver sockets x 2.
There will be a shower above the bath (right of window, which will be properly sealed to prevent leaks) and a frameless folding shower screen. Consideration will be given for pipe/cistern access whether possible, venting options and spare tiles will be bought. Floor, sink unit, alcove shelf will be waterproof wood, laminate or vinyl in dark wood effect to contrast with the neutral tiles.
