my common bathroom

cbath_steven_CastleGreen_a_zpsb8a18779.j

i know i want a white bathroom to make it look clean, big and minimalist but am totally not expecting this visually...LOVED it!! :good:

all white everywhere but with grey floor tiles...of cos the shower head, basin and toilet bowl will not be the same as in the pic...everything else is as what i want.

haha..

thanks!!

ya, i choose the very basic white wall tile...all white and it's rather cheap as well..

as for floor, i choose a slightly rough surface with some shiny dots dark grey tile...bottom left hand corner at thread#16...

would love a white or lighter shade floor tile but have to be practical since lighter shade or white floor tiles will be very obvious when dirty...

the bedroom.

nothing wow here...i keep the existing panquet floor and choose white for wardrobes and walls...

Possible to change the bathroom door colour? The dark brown doesn't quite match based on the 3D. Just my 2.5 cents. =p

For the wardrobe glass and laminates, try to match their colour to the wall paint or tiles which is probably a creamier shade. Whites in laminates, window frames and glass can be more bluish or greenish... Something I only learnt after my reno unfortunately. Would choose off white laminates if I'd known.

unfortunately, bathroom door color cannot change ...we keeping the original door as it's plain, simple and in good condition....but getting the ID to re-vanish it to look new....in fact all the rooms' doors are kept and revanish...

for wardrobe glass...i know it is green tint in color as glass with white backing will look a little green..

ask my ID how...he said can upgrade to white glass which is really white but will be expensive...an add $500 for each wardrobe! so 3 wardrobes will be add. $1500!! :jawdrop: ...after thinking...not very worth it to spend that much on glass doors....though i would like to have really white glass wardrobe doors... sigh...

for laminates...my ID choose for me a white laminate that is white and not bluish in color...dont know what that means... :dunno:

he mentioned something about the thickness or surface of the laminates..hope it will look white and not blue...

the common bathroom is almost completed...am impressed with the tiler...he's fast and good...and friendly as well... :)

looking good...all white and reflective...at least didnt made a small room smaller...

dont understand the cement on the floor...is it water proofing? or just sceening for the floor before the floor tiles...
