We've decided to put in a new bathroom and get rid of our turquoise blue suite and blue/white veiny tiles.

We just want a white suite and possibly a bigger bath. (we already have a shower room)

The bathroom is only 2m x 2.4m

We looked at a really nice bath - 1800 x 800 which would fit along the 2m wall. Any ideas what we can use for a bath panel. Most of them seem to be 1700 long. We also don't like plastic ones and as our existing bath panel is tiles on disintegrating mdf we're not too keen.

My DP hankers after a dark black panel but although the room's SE facing I think it will be too overpowering in a small room.

Any ideas or suggestions? Any mistakes to avoid?
