How to make bathrooms look larger with tile size and placement?
Comments (13)We chose really large tiles; 24" x 24" on the floor and 12" x 24" on the walls with a 6 x 24 "border" throughout - and it looks great! Before we did our bathroom I had only seen this kind of tile in magazine pictures or in a large showroom. So yes, I was a bit scared if we made the right choice for our much smaller bathroom. But even my very old fashioned stepfather who tried to discourage me before he laid the tiles for us was amazed by the effect and loved it. That is a really big tile so I wouldn't recommend to lay it on the diagonal or you'll have a huge amount of waste. This is a picture of the wall tile....See Morebathroom sconce placement looks off
Comments (64)Instead of trying to find a light that will fit a square peg in a round hole, why not just have the electrician come out and lower the boxes. When the light comes at you, it's much more flattering than from above you. I joke all the time that I'm bald in the closet (overhead light only) but gorgeous at the vanity. LOL If you get the right sconces and placement, I'd bet you won't even turn on those overhead cans except to clean. Good luck!...See Morelighting type and placement in off centered bathroom vanity
Comments (5)I would consider putting the two sinks on the same wall, and a separate makeup vanity on teh wall wall where the sink in question i located -- or in the bedroom if there's space. Then you have lots of reasonable options. Otherwise, no lighting from one side of your face. Do single mirrors with lights above, or keep the long mirror....See MoreExpanding window size in bathroom in San Francisco
Comments (8)Single Family Home. This bathroom is on a shared wall - the window opens into a lightwell - three sides are on my property and one side is my neighbor (their yard is about 4 feet higher than my property - so their fence is on one side of the lightwell). I am planning to work with a GC. It is a wood frame house - my main questions are - Am I allowed to expand the window size in SF into the lightwell. - Would I need some kind of permit? - Is it worth doing that - if I am willing to move the plumbing - as I am replacing the sink, bath and toilet as well as the floors....See More
