Downstairs Toilet Inspiration Needed

5 replies

BigBoxLittleBox · 02/01/2019 14:29

We are about to redo our [70s style] downstairs toilet (think green toilet and sink and brown tiling!) and I'm looking for inspiration.

The house is a 1980s build so no particular style but we tend to go for modern/Scandi looks. All we need to do is replace the tiles, toilet and sink so I'm looking for any ideas of tiles and walls please!

How are you planning to tile? Are you planning to tile from floor to ceiling or just the bottom half of the wall/splashback? Here are some ideas:

Thank you!
We are only planning to tile behind the sink I think. I love the last link of tiles. I like these ones too.
Not sure about the floor - we will either tile it or use engineered wood (which we plan to use throughout the ground floor when we re-floor).

I love the tiles in your picture. This is what I have my eye on.

I love the splashback in this one - it's a bit different to the usual ones.

If you're only doing a small area in tiles, think about how it will be edged. I love the tiles in your photo, the herringbone ones, but how will that work if its just the area around the sink? Will you have the tiles cut to form a neat rectangle, or will you have full tiles so you get a bit of an odd shape with bits sticking out.

I think in small downstairs loos, you either go plain and neutral for an elegant, pared back look, or full out design - loud wallpaper or dark / bold colour (possibly with neutral tiles so you can change the wallpaper / colour in due course).
