Give me some inspiration (please)

Hello!!

I am really stuck on bathroom colour ideas....everytime I think I am onto something I look at the colour selections and they are all wrong...

I'm thinking a mid grey coloured floor tile, with dark charcoal cabinets and a Quantum Quartz Everest benchtop....I like the look of the shower tiles also carrying colour through - I really like chocolate wall shower tiles but I don't think they would suit all the grey - so maybe a grey shower tile??

Or if I decide to go down the brown bath, maybe a stone coloured floor tile, with choclate brown shower tiles and dark brown cabinets with the Everest benchtop....

I like modern looks with clean lines....

I was hoping someone might have some pics they could share - I have goodled but can't find anything, I remember from my last posts people had great pics of white kitchen etc and i'm hoping this might be the same.

Thanks guys

Did u look the the Reece website? They have some nice bathrooms.

Nope thanks Yssim - off to look now

Thanks Yssim - Great pics on that site...I have decided now that I have scrapped the grey idea and am thinking of going for brown earthy tones.

The bathrooms they had with the browns looked gorgeous!!

What colour floor tile would people suggest to go with dark brown/chocolate cabinets and Everest (off white speckled) benchtop?

Thanks again

Hi Belinda,
I've just had a look on the Porter Davis web site, at the style finder. There are lots of bathrooms with dark cabinets and light floors, look at the 'traditional coco' bathroom.

Hey Paula

I didn't even know that part of the site existed :oops:

I have got some great ideas from there! Thanks

Traditional coco is very nice

Porter Davis website and like Paula said the style finder…………..

These rooms are just stunning! Beautifully decorated, I’m impressed!
If anyone can’t get inspiration from this site there is something wrong!

I’m in decorator heaven browsing through the site, and wishing my clients were this switched on, it would certainly be more fun for me!

I agree Mich - great site

I'm thinking a mixture of traditional coco and plum berry for the bathroom.

With Everest QQ benchtops

Very nice!

Yep I like that bathroom…… I like it all!

You can tell I haven’t been to a display home in many years.

The plum berry is beautiful..

Ok I've had a look again and I'm thinking the Plum Berry tiles (Floor and wall) but with the Traditional Coco cabinet colour and Everest benchtops.

Of course I'll change my mind at colour selections but atleast I have an idea

Do people really use stone for their bathroom benchtops?

Yssim - I hope I am not in the minority here :oops:

I have caesarstone benchtops in my current property in the kitchen, bathroom, ensuite and laundry. Love it - so thought I would carry it on to my new home - if budget permits of course

I think it a very popular thing to do now because it looks so nice. I have it in my new house kitchen and bathrooms.

Interesting. We have the QQ in our kitchen and love it as well. Never thought of using it for the bathrooms, though. Maybe 'cos I haven't seen it before.

Although, I don't think I could justify the cost. We got the apron edging to our island bench and that alone cost almost 1k.

But hey, if it fits in your budget. Then go for it it! Should look lovely.
