Pink Bathroom Tiles
Firefly
Posts: 3,024 Forumite
My bathroom is being renovated and it will be mostly white. I've bought a bathroom mat from M&S that was on offer and I'd like to use the colours (white and fuscia pink) as my basis for colour scheme. I've got some Flamingo Fun pink paint from Dulux to use in an alcove but I'd like some tiles behind the sink.
Now I only need a few so can cope with more expensive than bog standard but I can't find pink ones anywhere. Bathroom colours seem to be totally green/blue shades or neutral.
I'd love mosaic or glass tiles but will consider anything. Does anyone know where I can find some?
Typically my bargain mat will end up not being quite such a bargain!

I hate to see a post without any replies!
There's a couple of auctions on ebay that might be of interest:

Sorry, don't know how to do posh links.0 -
Oh bless you! Thanks for looking for me. Unfortunately the pink tiles aren't quite "pink" enough (think fuschia) and I don't fancy transfers but it was kind of you to respond.
My thoughts are that pink tiles aren't fashionable at the moment!Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!0 -

The paint I've used is flamingo fun but the swatch here doesn't do it justice. Think more of the pink behind the red clock and you're there; yes, I know it's bright but I only want to use a little bit!
I do quite like the Fired Earth Saffron glass sheet but at £406 per sq metre it's hardly moneysaving, is it?Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!0 -
Ohhhhh Sooooooooooooz ....!!!!!!!!!! You've gone and got me hooked on Fired Earth tiles now. They've got such a wonderful selection I'm gonna have to go and visit a store tomorrow. If I end up spending loads I'll blame it on you!Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!0

Don't blame me...you said you only wanted a few!!

Somewhere I'm sure I have seen there is a fired earth factory shop....
That pink is yummy...you also need on of these (still can't do nice links.......)http://www.bloomingdirect.com/p/Flower-Shop/Moth-Orchid-Phalaenopsis.html?gclid=CMC9nbSFlo4CFR8iEAodmHzkRA on your windowsill.

Probably not quite right, but as you say there's not a lot of pink around!0 -
OK Guys, I'm off to the Fired Earth shop in Cheltenham today and I'll talk to them about Banbury because it's not beyond reason that I could go there too!
MJK, I do like that mosaic tile but its too hard to tell if the colours are accurate and Lincolnshire is even further than Banbury!
Thanks Sooz, I'll get myself an orchid whilst I'm spending loads!
You can all come round and view the results when it's finished!Do not allow the risk of failure to stop you trying!0
