Bathroom Renovation

Thursday, October 27, 2011


Over the next few months I plan to update the bathroom. I still need to save up but in the meantime I have started sourcing materials, including these tiles from Art of Tiles.

The hexagon tiles are for the floor and the subway tiles are for the walls and I will use a grey grout. I still really like the blue subway tiles I posted earlier. I'm not sure they will look as good with grey grout though.


This is what the bathroom looks like at the moment. I will keep all the plumbing as it is to save costs. The bath / shower needs a new screen because it is broken. The plan is to tile to the ceiling, replace the towel rack with a new one, update the handles of the vanity because they have rusted and resurface the bath. I have a few other things in mind I would like to try too but I will see how far my budget can stretch!

I have already made changes to this bathroom when I first moved in. See here for what it looked like previously. There was no toilet and so the double vanity was replaced with a single vanity to fit a toilet in the space. The walls were painted and a new shower head was installed. It has served us well and there is really no immediate need to update but what I have in mind I think might look beautiful. Fingers crossed.

    This will look fab! We renovated recently and I've done our ensuite in a very similar style. The floor is a matte hexagon tile and walls subway tiles with grey grout. I also chose very a basin and pan with very organic lines. It looks awesome.

  7. I think the floor tiles you have at the moment look great already. Adding new wall tiles only might give a new perspective to the current floor tiles and would save you heaps of money. We've recently used subway tiles as a splash back in the kitchen and I really love the contrasting grout. Just finished painting our bathroom wall tiles which was the cheapest option and actually turned out pretty good.
