final bathroom design - semi industrial?
back to my downstairs 'main' bathroom now most of the extension section and utility have been done as I know exactly what space I have now.
So to recap... Bungalow with en-suite shower room upstairs servicing master bedroom. This bathroom is to service 2 downstairs bedrooms and also used a downstairs WC (as no separate one).
It's not massive - unfortunately.
Final sizes (not allowing for tiles and any re-plastering) are 2235 width x 1880 depth (from the door to the sink wall)
Issues:-
Internal room with no windows. Was going to put one high up above the shower but East facing and another house in the way SO looking at putting in a Sun Tunnel instead - 14" seems to be the largest one. Hoping that will give us enough day light as we can face it South on the roof??? Plus spots of course :o/
Gas meter in the way so in the image I am boxing it out and will encase the thermostatic shower on the wall (left of the WC) along with some box recesses for shower gels etc.
WC will be wall hung but not sure the best way to do it (one on the pic looks huge!LOL) ie
We don't want a bath. Next best thing is a walk in shower but with semi-flush tray. Can't afford to do a wet room as ran out of funds so trying to make it look good but without spending a small fortune.
Want to go for a semi industrial style (ignore the marble) - perhaps worn looking wood tiles maybe (not sure if I can use those Victorian effect tiles in a 30's house????)
Plumber suggested the shower panels as quicker to put them up to save on tiling labour. I have seen some nice ones but they are expensive but not sure what would work with the bathroom.
Thinking black fittings maybe? Or a mix of black and chrome as not sure what the black finish will be like on products (durability?)
Any thoughts/suggestions/pics welcome/

Comments (30)Hi! What was your final decision? I am also working on my tiny WC and came to the following conclusions (after 2 months spent in tile shops, looking through houzz and pinterest photos). The tiles in small spaces: 1. Should reflect. The space should not be matt and absorb the light. The glazed tile reflects the objects like a mirror and creates depth. 2. Should not be oversized. When you like the big tiles on the photo you posted - just adore them at the picture. they will not go to a tine space. Compare the size of the bathroom and the size of the tile. Try to imagine the pattern. 3. Don't be mislead by professional designs and photos (like the ones you posted and you like). Most of them are the bathrooms which are really huge in size. So the tiles that are on the picture will not go for your project. You want a small SPA oasis? Forget about concrete and metal look and all the things like that. I took a sample of concrete tile in my bath... really you feel uncomfortable, when you step on the concrete barefoot, Though I have floor heating , I wouldn't go barefoot. Its concrete!:))) Concrete is good for a big loft or industrial design, I think. 5. For a SPA - look I would opt either for the mosaic (which is classical for SPA, but be careful with that. May be monochromatic or achromatic) or wood optic tiles combined with warm white tones. 6. Much color in small bathrooms is not a good option. It is better to add it with accessories. Moreover you can change the look just by replacing your turqoise towels by grey ones. You can add dynamics only by choosing not a typical size of the white tile and making an interesting pattern. For example, for my tiny WC i have 25x75 cm tiles and will put them in a brick wall style. What I have chosen for my tiny WC is a wood optic (very light) tile for the floor and white tiles for the walls. They will cover the wall by 120 cm. The rest of the wall will be covered with wallpaper (navy blue or dark gray). Or may be just painted. Wish you good luck!...See MoreWin a design consultation at The permanent tsb Ideal Home Show!
Comments (74)Hello Houzz Ireland, We are currently renovating a 1960's build - so as you know, there is a lot of decisions to be made!! So it would be nice to get some gems of advice from the experts to help us through this daunting task. Areas where we would really like some inspiration for - small bathroom downstairs. I would really like to do something fun with this room and although small, I think it could work really well with some funky wallpaper or possibly tiles?! I'm just not sure what to do with it. Also - pulling a whole house together?! Where do we start? We have the bigger pieces of furniture but how do I know what nest of tables goes best with a suite? Or what accessories will bring a room together? I'm due a second baby in 2 weeks time so any help at this stage would be so amazing - to guide me on the right interior design path for our new house. Thanks, Laurie...See MoreThe article is related to interior decoration/construction

4 years agoOk... so we have decided to go for a bath with shower over as we might not stay here for as long as we thought and it will be better for resale.
Have updated my mock up ALTHOUGH the wall tiles will be all around the back and not over the wc or sink (can’t change this with the program) and the towel heater will be at the end of the bath now.
BATH:-
Found this 400 high bath thats only 380 deep so water saving and easier to climb in and out of. Now they include the shower screen in the cheap price (either plain one, hinged in middle or this funky industrial style one!)
Q. Will this industrial screen be too much in our small bathroom or not?
It would go with our sink stand we are getting.(see pic below)TILES:-
Going for some tiles like the one in the mock up - maybe a grey and black combo. Thinking that if we get some larger format concrete effect wall tiles for around the bath (not right up to the ceiling) in a light grey and maybe some nice herringbone for above the sink area, that would all work???
Honestly, I just struggle to decide these days- it’s all too much for me to think about, LOL.
Mirror above the sink - not sure what to get yet. Maybe a light up one as might not be much natural light in there now. Plus if I go to industrial, it will be too much.
Any help appreciated!!

4 years agoRe the plain bath screens - any advice on practically as I’ve never had one before (used a curtain previously)
There is a solid plain one which is hinges the wall so can be moved in.
Or there is this one which is hinges in the middle. It’s probably not as aesthetically clean cut but would be easier to wash the dogs with as I can fold the short panel back and out the way?
Would a single panel do the same?

4 years agoHi Tani. Sorry to hear you may be moving, is that definite? I'm sad after all your time and effort!
i like the bath screen with the vanity stand (and encaustic style tiles) but something doesn't sit quite right, I think it's the fact the bath has the recessed plinth? I tried finding another pic to demonstrate but I think that screen looks too small relative to the bath height?! I've got a near identical sink and stand to the 2nd pic in my ensuite so love your choice but just playing devils advocate if you're putting in a bath to suit someone else do you also need covered storage if it's the main bathroom? Although saying that, although i still havent bought them, I just intended to use a wash bag, basket etc though to hide toiletries although we don't have masses of things!
Your house is fab and I'm not isolating buyers but just wondering due to the bedroom set up will it attract more people with older kids rather than young ones? Plus obviously anyone that doesn't sit in that bracket! If so, would your preferred choice of a shower be more appropriate? Kids obviously shower at a much younger age plus the elderly or those less abled tend to prefer a shower. I also like brass taps. I've heard a lot of people comment re limescale on black if you're in a hard water area although I guess it won't be used much before selling so probably a moot point!
Will the loo no longer be wall hung? I assume btw you are obviously tiling the back wall as the shower is there? I'm not so sure on the herringbone splashback, will the tiles be small enough to be effective? I'd probably continue the wall tile which I suspect would also make it feel a bit bigger?

4 years agoHi Tani. It may be easier 😂 (I tried looking for a low bath earlier!). However I only mentioned bath versus screen proportions when I found this pic with the sleek bath as the screen just looks too small relative to the bath (to me) so not suggesting you need a normal height bath. The bath and screen you found looks fine proportionally.
how annoying re the internal window 😡 It's hard to know what to suggest tbh. Are you wanting a bathroom you love or looking for the greatest appeal for selling E.g. I love the Palm wallpaper idea but I'm sure many won't!!

3 years agoMorning all!
I thought I would update this thread rather than starting ANOTHER one on the design side
STILL not done the bathroom, LOL. Honestly. Well Covid delayed us to be fair as the bathroom guys were off for months and now there is a backlog. However the plumber is finally coming tomorrow to move some of the pipes over ready for the shower.
I've decided on a few things but I'm still massively struggling with the design in terms of tiling and don't know where to start with it.
Things I have decided on:-
-Soft industrial with warmth, black metal and natural elements. It's a small room and don't want it to feel cold or stark.-standard short projection WC (not back to wall) for cost purposes.
- freestanding/wall mounted framed sink unit (black metal frame with white sink - possible wood top)
-straight or L shaped bath with tiled panel front
- black framed bath screen
- skylight (YES we can fit one in!! whoop! - should be done in November hopefully)
Design aspect/tiles etc:-
thinking of a brick slip wall going straight up behind the sink area as a feature strip (cheaper than doing it on the whole wall as it's expensive) as it would add that industrial rustic feel I love. Most bathrooms I like have some sort of reclaimed brick wall so I think that's the way to go with it.Alternative is to start the brickwork from the sink upwards so above the WC and sink is all brick but the shower is tiled. Not sure what I would put below the WC and sink though ie just paint?? Might look odd with brick just starting mid way up?
I love the victorian style tiles - black/grey patterned ones. Options are to either have these on the floor or, to put these on the shower head wall and have a vintage LVT on the floor that matches our lounge.I just don't know what will clash and what else to put on the bath panel and up the rest of the walls around the bath?? I don't like subway tiles at all so that is not an option.
The rest of my house has a lot of darker F&B Off black which is a gorgeous colour and really cosy and warm so I am happy to use some of the paint in the bathroom wherever - but it won't be suitable in the shower part, obviously.
Can anyone please help with the tile side and colours/style etc based on the rest of the design I have chosen? Thank you in advance.(**
image is just a rough mock up as I can't put the proper vanity I want or change part of the wall to half tiled etc)
