Need help in bathroom floor tile choices
Comments (7)I totally understand your concerns about maintaining congruity with the era of the house. My personal feeling is the the mix of old and new is what makes design interesting. I'm not a fan of walking into say an all modern room in a vintage home. It's jarring. But intentionally integrating a modern element into a more traditional space can be the spark that "makes" it. So, for your bathroom, the larger hex can be a "riff" on the classic tile - that updates it while playing homage to the house's era.

Paint the walls a pale something but not a white and paint the ceiling the wall color. How about a small geometric pattern wallpaper instead of paint for the walls and then paint the ceiling a color to go with the paper. Do all this before selecting a floor and keep that simple as well. Then choose all your plumbing fixtures and towel bars at one time,...See MoreHelp with bathrooms.

Comments (15)I agree with Cpartist"s layout and like moving the closet over as suggested by D M so that bedroom 3 has easier access to the bathroom. Do you have room to have the toilet face the tub and add a linen cabinet next to the toilet? How wide is the tub toilet area?...See MoreNeed help on bathroom counters and floor!
Comments (3)You can paint the walls SW alabaster. Paint the cabinets the same as the walls and a dark gray quartz for the countertops. Check out Carla Aston, she is a designer. She has a blog, carlaaston.com,and wrote an article on updating homes that have travertine floors. I tried to post the link her but I can’t seem to get it to work...See Morexmkx
