I want some colonial style tiles on floor like the picture attachrd
what wall tiles should I pick to go with these? if you can send a link from top tiles or any other UK tile shop, I would really appreciate it.
I'm thinking something really neutral. I'd love the type of tiles that you can barely see, hopefully something with minimal grouting as it will be going around the bath and I want it to be long lasting. many thanks

Tile or Wall in Bathroom? Help?
Comments (4)Ah ok! Thank you kind people I guess the vote goes to tile then. I haven't started but will overlay over the existing tiles. And yes I was referring to walls. I was shown lovely pictures of bathrooms that had painted walls but was adviced against it as a) my bathroom is pretty small and b) those picts were probably of powder rooms. Thanks again...See MorePlease help me with 2 questions on this bathroom!
Comments (13)I take it this isn't your bathroom. The glass could be handmade lead light which means bespoke by someone who makes lead light windows or it could be a transfer applied to a plain glass window. Check on ebay or online sticker/transfer stores for similar. I've never seen a piece like that in Australia so I'm thinking this might be an American antique. It's not normal to put an expensive antique piece in a bathroom and if you did it would be best in a bathroom that only has minimal use. And you would want to have a lot of good exhaust extraction to get rid of moisture. If you picked up one of those repro Indonesian mahogany pieces you would be spending a lot less money and might regard the piece as expendable. You can buy wood hardening sprays that resist moisture from the hardware store and spray the carcass (all the unstained pieces inside) with this stuff to resist moisture. You'd still need a good exhaust system however and keep the room well aired....See MoreCement 'growing' in bathroom floor, help!
Comments (7)It looks as if you have something crumbling behind the tiles. It could be the porcelain or the wall. This once happened to me. I paid for a professional to insert a gas fire into the fire breast. Consistently we had what looked like rubble falling down the chimney. No one knew what it was and we were baffled. Then one day we had the chimney swept by an amazing chimney sweep who informed us the wall prep behind the fireplace hadn't been done properly and what was falling down was the brick and rubble which was behind and had not been cleared properly. He said it wasn't a big deal and not dangerous so we left it, although it was an inconvenience having to clean it up every day particularly in bad weather. I would advise asking a tiler to come and have a look. Maybe your bathroom tiles need sealing, maybe water is getting in. If the tiler doesn't know ask a surveyor, he may not have the answer but he will know which trade to point you in the direction of. It could simply be a case of the walls not being prepped properly before the tiles were put up. Any which way, if a large tile which could potentially fall off a wall it needs to be checked because if it landed on you it could do serious damage or cause further tile damage which would make the job of rectifying more expensive....See Moresolid wood vanity for bathroom?
Comments (1)Hi Gerard, Love your idea of a floating wood vanity with wash basin on top. I am assuming that you love the Bali look? I would stay away from plywood and any laminates here as water will eventually destroy the wood and decay would set in. I would rather look for a solid treated teak wood as most teak woods are much hardier and able to withstand some dampness and not rot easily. Do bear in mind that although it may be low maintenance, that does not mean that there will be no maintenance. Hope that helps? Do post a pic when you finally finish with your project....See More
