You're more than welcome to our 'tasteful' pampass (pale greeny-beigy-cream) Ideal Standard suite in great condition, being replaced purely so we can have white

You can just see the toilet here - I'll even throw in the stencils (thats a joke btw)



I'm actually deadly serious - its only going to end up as landfill somewhere so pm me if you're interested - we're just off the M1, very accessible

lol

its not too bad,at least its a pale colour

lmao i know this thread is a yr old,

heavens I didn't realise :embarasse

I don't think its a matter of taste/art/preference, when all's said and done, its generally accepted that white is the most suitable colour for a bathroom suite and thats that.

A year too late but i'll add my bit anyway!

Thing is with white it'll be equally as "boring" in 10 years time as 10 years ago and now! White will go with any colour scheme you choose. Bathroom suites other than white are a very bad idea IMHO. Also if you want to mix and match sanitaryware from different manufacturers (or replace one broken item) then you have much more options with white.

Btw how is that bathroom getting along Phirefly? Still not ripped out the old suite here and trying to solve my shower waste pipe problem. New suite will be white though!

We're currently cobbling together the various fixtures and fittings, been down to sussex for the floor tiles, up to Chorley for the bath, (the joys of company car ownership) I'm in a wrangle over a shower valve on ebay, and dipping a toe in the world of heated towel rails.

Unfortunately the basin we've decided on appears not to be on display in any showroom anywhere in the land, so that will just have to be a leap of faith...

Mr Phirefly's decided he fancies a wall-to-wall mirror on one wall, so pricing that up too.

Just 4 weeks to go till the grand rip-out commences!

You can start by reading on some bathroom design ideas online. The school of interior design is one good avenue wherein you can get some beautiful concepts for you home. You might want to check that one out.

Lol i bet they make a come back and everyone with one will be laughing!! not me though i don't like them at all. When we moved into our previous rented house there was an avocado bathroom suite in it, newish house too, dd looked round and loved it till we opened the bathroom door and she cried!! (only about 6ish!)..she said all her friends would laugh etc..we still moved in and hated it the time we were there..i never knew if the bath was ever really clean as too dark to tell eww..nope i love our new house with WHITE everything in it!!

Good luck though..as suggested there are lots out there still.x

oh, thats a shame, i was enjoying this thread. i like white bathrooms only, but my parents have a pink suite in the downstairs bathroom and then a wholly beige (or should that be champagne) shower room upstairs

I hope murrayskeeter's future marketing ploys are better thought out
