Tile layout in awkward bathroom...
Hi, So I am working on figuring out the tiles for my bathroom. Here is the current plan, please opine. :)
Style: Traditional /transitional.
Current plan is to have a pretty deco panel at the tub end that you will see when you look toward the tub from the door. Then there will also be a pretty deco band as a backsplash around the vanity.
Question: will it look weird to stop the backsplash at the edge of the vanity sides? It kinda seems like it should go all the way to the end of the wall between the tub and the vanity; but if I do that, then it seems that all the walls should be wrapped with the field tile on the bottom with the deco band on top.
Deco panel: Nicer to see as you come into the bathroom, or once you look into the tub area? (eg, back wall of tub)
Here are the tile selections:
Brown-Gray is the floor; white is the primary field tile; mosaic is the deco; and the piece of glass is a coordinating one to the deco that came along for the ride home. White vanity.
Any wall color recommendations?
Here is the mirror and the vanity space:
Should I run the deco up the entire wall behind the mirror?
View from the door:
Tile guy has only installed the cement board, no waterproofing yet. He is very patient, waiting for me to order the tile!
Thanks in advance
Jean

Is this master bath layout awkward?
Comments (29)Debbie, thanks so much for all of the thought you've put into this! I do have a little time before we really need to order bathroom fixtures, but my GC wants to know the measurements of tub/shower/etc. as they are framing in the walls/windows/closet. First, our reasoning for the single sink. We recently bought land from my father and are building the house out in the country. I cannot ever see selling the house to anyone but family, as we are on family land and are within a 5 mile radius of three family members. Therefore, we are building this house to suit our current and future needs, and resale isn't a concern right now. Okay, maybe we won't live here FOREVER, but I'm hoping it's pretty darn close. The step to the bathtub is no longer an issue, as I talked to my GC yesterday and there is no problem lowering the windows to the tub deck. He is also working on various layouts for this bathroom, which may include moving a wall or the windows, which apparently are still moveable. Right now (because I don't really like corner tubs, as much as I've tried to convince myself that it might make more sense) I'm hoping to keep the tub oriented along one wall. Suero, the shower door will probably be sliding, although that isn't set yet. Again, thanks so much!...See MoreSuggestions for awkward room layout
Comments (10)Mabel, I fully share your priority for garden views, and yours is wonderful. I notice the bottom of the window isn't terribly low and that your beautiful garden seems to be below house level (?) (our situation). Can you see the lower garden or lawn when you're seated, or mostly on passing through? If the best views are only available on standing near the windows, you'll always need to be able to walk close to them anyway. It looks like your sofa (for one or two?) and chair are positioned for the higher (?) view out the window? In future, do you guys want to be laptopping and reading on a sofa for two, sofa for one plus chair, or two easy chairs? Normally only 2 visitors sit on a standard sofa (3 feel too close together), so the big reason to get one would be if one or both of you prefer that to a chair. If not, a love seat plus a pair of easy chairs? How about considering a loveseat without arms? No to 2 loveseats, IMO, chairs would offer much more flexibility for placement and more social comfort for visitors. ITM, for the window wall, how about a bench with upholstered cushions roughly the width of the middle window below it? Shallow, yes, but additional seating when needed, without blocking the view or catching on fire. Plus, in cold weather it, combined with drapes on each side, would frame the winter view and create a more cozy distance between inside and out. Thoughtful attention to its design/leg placement would leave plenty of room for your visiting friend to stretch out toward the heater. At least a couple strategically placed mirrors to bring more light and views to interior corners? A handsome, fairly tall narrow antique to provide storage in the previous desk corner, plus a comfortable but portable chair for visitors? If the fire were occasionally a problem, it could be placed sticking out into the kitchen doorway without blocking traffic or communication and, with the bench, provide a secondary conversation area. BTW, I have a 4' wide, compact but upholstered antique settee (in a French style). It seats 2 and is super comfortable because the seat and back cant back very slightly. I recommend anyone who sees something like this and likes it buy first and worry about where to put it later. There's always room to tuck it in somewhere....See MoreKitchen design advice for small awkward layout in 1900 farmhouse
Comments (6)Maybe, push peninsula even further back to give more space within. keep chairs with people out of walk way. need panel on right side of microwave hood. Keep same spacing on both sides of window to keep balanced symmetry around window. Stoves that close to corner is not ideal. make sure fillers in corner are wide enough so drawers don't hit handles...See MoreAwkward Layout, bedroom attached directly to kitchen

3 years agoJean - I think your husband is right. Much harder to clean the tub too if you didn't have that extra space. But from a decor standpoint I understand the issue. Maybe you could put a cabinet above it to store things that goes across to the tub area and then shelves to hold towels and stuff going down on one side to fill the space. Kind of like this, but only on one side.
