Bath pannel suggestions please

4 years ago
Some months ago I had to remove our bath pannel after some, since resolved, damp issues.
I have been looking for a bamboo slatted one, in the style of the doors of the bathroom cabinet doors (see photos) but to no avail.
I would like to be able to keep some cleaning stuff etc in the space as shown in other photo, so the panel needs to be openable.
Suggestions appreciated as ever!

Main bath (guest) layout design
Comments (16)About your plumber saying "plumb layout is confirmed". That is a load of rubbish. It's fairly easy to move drains around (yes he might have to rip up some walls, but he can also do off-the-wall installations to avoid that). In a small bath proper placement is of the utmost importance!!! If you have the bathtub and shower next to each other that will be much better and then the glass separator idea should work. padmaramachandran's (see post above) setup sounds more reasonable to me as well (see first picture below). This is similar to your setup but as you have more space you could put in bath tub and shower where the picture only shows a bath tub. Also if you do it that way you could theoretically have a bidet or a wider wash basin (small double perhaps too). Example layout: Do you need a bathtub in the guest bath? If not you have a lot more room to work with. E.g. for a double wash basin and large walking shower and a bidet (2nd picture). Example of off-the-wall installation for toilet and bidet and a large walking shower. Finally if you ignore this advice and do it the way you planned ;) then I suggest you really thing about that glass separator. Doing it right will make a lot of difference (see 3rd picture). Good luck!...See MoreAny suggestions for finishing my kitchen/living room

Comments (53)Thanks a mil! That's the thing about new colour. It does take some getting used to. However I had my babies room, a spare room and the inside of my front door painted at the same time last week and love all of the colours chosen but this one I just can't look at. It turned out to be more of a minty green than the colour samples on the wall. One of the fabrics below are being make up in a footstool and I think it may be overkill with too much colour. I wanted the coushions and footstool to pop as those are the things you spend the most amount of money on rather than the paint. In saying that. The cost of the paint was expensive and also paying someone to do it. Now to do it all over again is not ideal.:(. i took the cushions and fabric into one of my other rooms to see what it looked like against a more neutral background and felt it looked a little better. See pics below. Any other paint suggestions are much appreciated....See MoreTiling for tiny bathroom
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 MoreE D

4 years agoI once discovered that a bath panel that complements is surroundings can be transformative. I can see why you are thinking a slatted bamboo panel would be just the thing. Google images / gumtree suggests the The Bathstore once sold a “bamboo insert” model, but it’s not on their website now. Getting one made should not be difficult or very expensive, anyone competent enough to build a radiator cover could do it. And rather than sliding, I’d suggest it’s bottom hinged with a catch on top, so that you can easily just drop it down to access the storage space.
If you do decide to go with a more open slatted model, it might be worth considering painting the underside of the tub. Perhaps something a bit fun... a dark gold perhaps? And perhaps put the toilet duck in turned-around plastic magazine files. Both would help that “tease” look purposeful and organised.

4 years agoI think i might have to disagree on the complexity of this project. You're going to have to make a bath panel with doors in it and have it slatted. I would imagine the ones they used to sell at the bath store didn't last long as the bamboo was very thin and probably broke fairly easily.
You could make a slatted panel with doors in it, but it would need constructing out of marine ply ( not cheap ), plus it would be fairly time consuming.
I would suggest also , that maybe mounting opaque perspex on the rear of the slatted part would look better, because it would create the illusion of being able to see through, without actually seeing the underneath of the bath and the void behind, disguising your stored bottles.
