Anything but white is my advice. I'd probably go for a grey.

If the bathroom is small, go for large tiles. It'll help give the illusion of space. That and a large mirror.

Some white can help to help it to feel spacious and light. I'd not go for blue, which can seem cold.

It would help if you posted in the correct room - this is the lounge and you’re talking about the bathroom, very confusing lol

Bathroom can be a big investment so stay away from anything trendy at moment as will look dated in few years

My bathroom small have large white tiles and 1 massive mirror on 1 wall

3 walls white and other bright orange black floor and accessories sounds horrendous lol but looks smart

In a few years to re tile 1 wall and replace flooring won’t cost more than £200 and bathroom have new look

So many images on line now to give you inspiration.

I've never tried one but you can get Visualiser Apps that let you take a photo of the room and change colours to see what it looks like in different colours (dulux was one)

Lighting makes a difference and you can always add accessories to add colour.

Good luck

Always a white suite, white toilet, white shower tray in my opinion. Easier to clean and doesn’t date. Go for your colours in your tiles, taps, radiators, shower screen and accessories - all easy and cheapish to change when you get fed up.

Travertine looks way more expensive than it is. Cuts really easily as it’s soft too. (Wet cut or use a diamond angle grinder).

Bear in mind it has air pockets in it so don’t be surprised if a hole appears in it. If it does, just fill with grout, so chose a grout a similar colour to the tiles rather than white.

SEAL THEM!!!! They’re very porous.

I’ve fitted around 800 bathrooms so feel free to ask any questions.

Don't forget the storage!!

We fit bathrooms for a living

Speak to your plumber unless you are replacing like for like in the same place as a move around is not always as easy as people think.

There is some fabulous vinyl out there atm, means you can cheaply switch it up in a few years.

Go for decent quality taps.

Enjoy

Exactly what I did with my last new bathroom. Money was very tight so a standard cheap bath and toilet and classic style sink and big white tiles all over. One wall had a massive mirror that was set slightly forward and gorgeous funky taps.

I covered the floor with really good vinyl from an expensive range (small area so didn't cost much) and finished it off with a small, antique, three drawer pine cabinet with chunky glass handles.

It all looked expensive but really wasn't.

To save cost only tile the wet areas. You can then paint the remainder. It also allows you to change the colour scheme anytime without costing a fortune.

If you tile it all you can only change the towels, mat and blind etc.

I'd love to refit my bathroom - I only moved in December and then the apocalypse happened so I got it painted to brighten it up but everything else about it makes me want to cry

I don't have the money for a refit - Im looking at mirror sheets to make it look bigger.

Putting them up is going to be fun
