Having new bathroom what would you want if you were buying my house?

White and modern with nice stylish taps. Some in-built storage with good lighting for the mirror area would be good too.

tiled floor (any suggestions for colour?)

I'm a fan of the bathroom approved laminate that looks like slate tiles. The real slate/marble tiles might worry those with children for safety.

If it's an ensuite bath and there is another bathroom in the house, lose the bath, convert it to a luxury shower room.

Clean white colours, chrome fittings, lots of glass and stone looking tiles (if you dont' want to splash out on the real thing).

if you are having a ensuite you need to make it look good with a decent bath or shower as people expect quality in ahouse worth 400k. there is nothing worse looking at a house of that price with cheap fittings.

i.e gem bathrooms of greenwich south east london do some reasonable suites at good prices wort a look.

a nice clean white suite, as much tiling as you can afford, ie floor to ceiling. If its a large room include a bath, don't want a hollow shower room. If its smaller then make it a shower room, then over accesorise colour wise with towels, loo roll, good quality toiletries and a large plantin a nice planter!

I tell you 1 more pet hate I have, toilet pedestal mats! I love huge rugs/bath mats but a mat near a loo screams weeee! to me!

Thanks all so we need white suite, white wall tiles, tiled floor ...

For the walls, not small white, square tiles - they just look like a public convenience! :eek:

You need large rectangular ones

Oh, definitely. I'm totally with Ann Maurice on this - mats and especially carpets in bathrooms are just not 'hygennic'!

But seriously I wouldn't say white! It's really cold and boring!

All you need are accessories, preferably in a warm colour; the pinks, reds, golds, oranges, as bathrooms can feel cold because of all the reflective surfaces. Towels, candles, soaps, glass bottles of bath lotions/salts, plus things like vases, pictures, etc, along with a couple of plants change the whole look of the room.

It actually doesn't take much colour to make a room seem as if it's actually that colour. When I did our white bathroom up for selling, I had silver and deep-pink accessories, and all the bedrooms had white sheets, but with different coloured cushions, curtain trimmings, and accessories. People kept referring to 'the red bedroom' and 'the blue bedroom', but actually I could have swapped the colours round in about 20 minutes. I even overheard one guy say to his wife that he wasn't sure he wanted a pink bathroom! (fortunately, his wife pointed out how easy it would be to change).

A white suite with natural/ stone coloured tiles. All white is too bland. A bath with centre taps looks good and a decent shower. If you can manage to put a window in, however small.

no all white isnt too bland, as the others have said its the added bits like plants towels and candles that add the colour GO ALL WHITE
