Whilst I am always oggling the fashion magazines, I hardly peek at interior design ones so no idea what's in or out. Please help me with idea for my flat bathroom which has no window. It's rectangular shaped with the door opposite the toilet, then a sink the a bath along the wall. It all needs to come out and be changed.
I'm thinking white suite, also a large mirror? There are already white large tiles along the bath side half way up only. What size and type tiles reflect the light the best? I once saw white dimpled tiles in a bathroom and they were a high gloss too, is that a bit to much in your opinion? Thanks budget is £800. Thanks.

also the bath taps are currently at an unusual position, very close together on the left hand side, but close to the top end, so the plumbing will need to be changed for normal position taps, unless I can find a bath that has the holes for the taps in their current place. The bath is perpendicular to the wall that has the loo and sink.

We have done our fairly small bathroom with a white bath suite inc new taps and plumbing and an electric shower. Black high gloss floor tiles and white gloss tiles on the walls with a few black tiles spotted about. I am also planning on black blinds and a black loo seat.

It all cost about £850 but labour was free for us. The tiles themselves were failrly cheap though from b and q. They were on sale. If you any seniors get them to go woth you and go on a wednesday they get 10% off.

SheSells, it's good to know an idea of how much a small bathroom cost. Your colour scheme sounds nice and modern for a windowed bathroom. I have seen black high gloss in hotel bathrooms without windows but they have bright lights and spotlights. I much prefer a bathroom with a window but no choice here. Thanks
