need help with new wet room tiles

I'm changing my bathroom to a wet room and I have decided on mosaic tiles for shower area and plain tiles for the walls & floor. My problem is that there's a window in the room which is not in the centre and I want a mosaic design, other that the shower floor, to break the monotony of the other plain tiles on the walls & floor. I was thinking of bringing a narrow strip of mosaic tiles, starting over the window and down the wall into the shower area and maybe continuing this along the floor to the door. My problem is, I don't know where to start the strip, in the centre over the window or have it off centre??

Comments (9)Thanks, I wasn't sure where the 9'4 measurement came in. If you're buying all new furniture then look for items on legs, as you can see the floor beneath it will make the space feel bigger. You can also use glass ie a glass coffee table or Louis ghost chairs for example. I'd also go for a large mirror over the hearth or not knowing your style could also have a ŵall of glass tiles for the same effect which will also bounce light. I'd go for a pale tone sofa and use warmer/darker colours for cushions if wanted. If you want a rug then I'd keep it in the same tone as the floor else to visually maximise floor space. I've drawn a very rough plan (not entirely to scale and obviously not knowing where doors etc are!). I assume you're wanting to buy furniture before you move in? If so do you have a similar size room where you could cut out paper templates of all furniture to see if the space works? I would mount the tv on the ŵall if you have one. Hanging it over a slim console (or slim cabinet for storage) means you can add art on the ŵall and accessorise the console so the tv doesn't become the feature of the ŵall. You could go for a coffee table or a small footstool which can double up as extra seating and table. I'd go for a round dining table, 3ft will seat 4 and you can pull it away from the corner when entertaining. i'd go for a 2 seater sofa (c5f?) but try and get a slim one. I don't know the size of the windows but blinds, shutters may also be an idea so curtains don't encroach on the floor space? In terms of decor do you want light and neutral or dark and moody then people can suggest paint colours?...See MoreNeed Help with long sitting room.
Comments (4)I'd put another set of sliding doors between the lounge and the playroom rather than a solid wall. Reason being is that it gives you more options. You get to sequester the mess and noise when you want and you still get a good flow later on when the kidlets aren't such mess monsters. I'd make both sets of sliding doors have full-length frosted glass inserts. That will let in the light. Or you could use shoji doors if that suits the decor better. From your plan, I'm assuming the house is semi-detached, so windows on the right wall aren't possible? Also, you might consider a pocket door from the hallway to the lounge and from the hallway to the utility room. That way you don't have to allow space for door swing....See MoreNeed help with TV placement and decor ideas for compact living room
Comments (2)I think the only place you could put a tv is probably the corner by the window...over the fireplace is probably too high. a walnut floor and new fresher paint colour would be lovely, would you consider painting the skirting boards and fireplace white or off white to modernise them a bit? we've painted the skirting in our living room (also a walnut floor) and it looks so much better than before.

Comments (0)I would appreciate help in the following please: Skirting: Tile skirting decision for new build kitchen/sittingroom tile skirting or white oak (same as doors)?Most of the walls are white downstairs. I want to match the skirting to the floor boards (all different)?? Window Boards: White oak (real wood) window boards (more expensive) or MDF sprayed window boards? Does MDF warp, and give off harmful emissions? Opinion on different wood flooring looks for each room keeping the landing oak? Thanks...See More1siobhan1

9 years agolast modified: 9 years agodooders1981, a wet room is a fully waterproofed bathroom, which eliminates the need for a shower cubicle - you can splash water everywhere and it should stay contained to that room and not leak. There are different methods to achieve that, just google 'wet rooms' for more info.
Also, have a look below at how our guest en-suite was built (as a wet room):

9 years agoYes, almost there now. A few more accessories and a storage unit in to get sorted and it should be finished then.
