Bathroom Reno: Toilet Choice; Tiling Walls; Wainscoting Height
Comments (5)Thank you very much! We met with the contractor yesterday and the plan is: *Tiling walls: We will tile around the toilet and behind the vanity as well as on that right-hand wall. I think it would look odd if we didn't, and it is a splash zone of sorts, right by the tub/shower. *Tile height on the walls: We decided on 40" because the vanity will be 36" high and that will allow for a 4" backsplash. *Melle - isn't that iridescent tile crazy? RE the vanity, I'm sorry to hear that about the Godmorgon. Ours, the dark black/brown color, has regular handles, not integrated ones. I wonder if that will make a difference? We are going to purchase the Godmorgon high cabinet as well - it is only 15"W by 11"D and so will occupy little floor and visual space. *RE toilets: Maybe you are right that I should re-think the comfort vs. regular height question. But don't family bathrooms usually have regular height toilets? I'm thinking of resale value down the line too. Thanks!...See MoreOne large bathroom or two small bathrooms?
Comments (26)In the picture, black is the current layout. Green is the change if only shower was made bigger and one door would be eliminated. Red is a complet demo, removing the wall section between two toilets. All the water lines from upstairs are in the section of the wall that is between two toilets so removing this wall would require a major move of water lines to the side and there would have to be a section of wall kept behind new toilet and vanity. The door from master would have to be framed and move to the left as a pocket or barn door. The drowing is disproportionate. It is all very cramped in there Current shower is only 26"x26". But may be replacing vanity for a wall hung vanity in the larger bathroom would change the feel. It will all have to be torn down and replaced including removing subfloors as they are rotten. So either remodel will be a lot of work. What should we do?...See MoreTile choices- bathroom, will they work.
Comments (19)Click on photo to see enlarged photo. I worked up another design idea board, using suggestions here - thank you all so much- and eliminating the dark brown floor tile, which I agree could distract from the other tiles. The more I look at it, the more it seems that using it would result in a dark and not appealing floor. Not every photo in my current design board is a serious option. I primarily wanted to showcase our 2 remaining tile options - after eliminating the dark brown. Thise tiles are on the far left side and The large solider color tile does match a shade in the basket weave. .i just can't get my photo to indicate that. So I threw in some photos to fill the template I used ( these nonetheless may have elements that work, interested in feedback) My primary concern at this point, though, Is the floor and wall shower tile. Both tile selections are promoted as suitable for floors and walls. Am I getting closer to good choices? So grateful for the input I've been receiving....See MoreThoughts on hex tile choice for bathroom
Comments (14)Beth H., do you know more about the fixtures / hardware in that first photo you posted? It doesn't look quite as brassy gold as some of the gold finishes I've seen. It's a beautiful color. Thank you for all the thoughts on breaking up the black/gray/white. If we end up with our gray vanity and plain brushed nickel / stainless fixtures (may be necessary due to budget constraints), can I add a wood frame or other colored metal frame to our mirror or is that too many different colors / styles? We're planning on an extra large mirror to cover the sink and toilet (the wall is about 60" long) and were considering doing it frameless or just slightly beveled, but could go with a frame if it's the right look. The sink has to be flush with the wall on the left, so I can't add much framing otherwise it will push the mirror too far to the right, but something narrow is possible. Given the size we will probably have it cut by a glass store so can likely add any simple frame we choose....See Morerockybird
