Sorry, more bathroom advice needed!

Think of the winter. You'll not want a visually chilly bathroom? Go for soft warm tones. It's a place to relax...

phoenix black maybe today's colour but there might be a problem when selling a few years down the line. I personally would not buy your house, really sorry.

It reminds me of avocado bathroom suites- definitely not today's colour.

It does look good Phoenix (we all like different things ) but being a practical soul I wouldn't have black here as the water is very hard and the splashes would show terribly. Our bathroom is white and taupe with colour from the towels, green and orange until now but about to be changed for who knows what. I'm comfortable with our colours as they are calm, can always do with some calm.

Oh bum! No further forward, but thanks to those who posted.

But, Charleygirl you loved my kitchen

I would look at grey - not too dark, maybe even slightly marbled, laid brick fashion and a mid grey floor.
You can always change the colour of any woodwork if you ever want too.
(Ps I would prefer dark slate grey to black if available)
DD3 and H have done their bathroom in monochrome, black fixtures,(taps, shower etc) white loo, white tile with black grouting, but that is hipster Walthamstow - looks fantastic.

My son and dil have black panelling in the shower room and it's too dark for my eyes on a bright dayand even worse in the evenings. Plus watermarks and soap marks mean it never looks clean.
Go for camel and black it's classy and timeless.

I have a grey and white en suite shower room. Pale grey tiles (slightly marbled) everywhere so as to not have to paint!
White sanitary ware, light oak woodwork and dark grey slate floor. It is north facing but all it needs is bright red or lime green towels to pep it up.
I love monochrome.

I did love your kitchen but I have to shower occasionally. I had forgotten about hard water but not knowing where you live I do not know if that is a problem for you now. A good job we each have different tastes.

We have 2 bathrooms done with panelling - one is all white sparkle and the other is half black sparkle with the shower walls fully panelled. There is no window in the black one but the light is bright enough not to make the room look dark. I have navy towels in the black one and light blue in the other.

I would go for grey too with the black/white combo you have chosen .

Our family bathroom had a navy blue suite and pale blue-grey tiles. It actually looked quite pretty but the suite was somewhat bashed about.

We got a new white suite, kept the tiles and found flooring that toned with them. Now when I walk in there it's much lighter and cleaner-looking.

I've added colour with purple towels, bathmat and other more decorative items.

I do find it's bit like walking into a mist with those colours, though.......

Soft water area, Charleygirl, but still get water marks on the shower screen.

MawB will definitely NOT be having tiles of any type, has to be paneling! (Although friends have tiles like the ones you describe, look great, but it will have to be panels here)

PS Thank you to all who have replied, it is appreciated.

We have beigey tiles totally covering wall and floor. White bath etc. Its very nice and we add colour in the towels mats containers etc.
But...if I was doing it now I would definitely choose monochrome.

We had our bathroom done about for years ago, after my TKR. It is a very small bathroom, so we kept white bath and basin, with units beneath, and large sandstone tiles, dark grout and a contrasting tile border, round the middle of the room, and on the window cill.
We found a bath that was lower to get into, and the chap who fitted it all , put in sliding doors, where the bath panel should be, making useful storage space. The shower is over the bath, with a four fold panel door.
I liked the flooring, which is a wood lookalike, click and lock type, and has worn well. The tall radiator, serves as a towel warmer, and is chrome to match the shower, and grab handle, that is by the shower.
We have a sky blue blind, with bird silhouettes, which I love, and so have been altogether pleased with our choice.

Ours bathroom is fully tiled in pale grey and medium grey with an 6" band of metallic tiles on one wall running from floor to ceiling. Looks great with white towels, shower tray and basin. We wanted out bathroom to look more modern so avoided beige. The kids liked it so we must have done something right.

We use a window vac on the shower screen, no smears at all.

Sorry for the typos

Blimey - all this colour coordination - I am well impressed. Perhaps you had better not visit my place!!

I actually think some of the towels were bought 40-odd years ago as I remember drying the children on the beach with them! And they sure as eggs ain't the same colours/patterns.

Vaccing smears off the shower screen!!! - I have heard it all now!

I take my hat off to all you houseproud people!

The right side of my laptop screen is now peppered with pictures of Phoenix's bathroom. I can reassure you that she is not in it!

I use a karcher vac on my shower screen and tiles as well. It only takes 2 minutes.

They are good, aren't they, Framilode?

I also use a window vac on the screen and walls and periodically use a powered brush on the screen to get the stubborn limescale off.

Went to the builders merchants earlier to see the panels in the "flesh" so to speak.

Mr P was very taken with Travertine, in the Multipanel range ( not as dark/ bright as it appears in the brochure or on the website) I'm still not sure............
