🚿 Bathroom Upgrade Plan (Shower Addition) ✅ 1. Convert Bathtub to Shower Remove the old bathtub (since it's quite dated and worn). Install a walk-in shower in its place: Frameless glass shower screen to keep it sleek and modern. Tiled walls and flooring in the shower area for waterproofing and easy maintenance. Add a rain showerhead plus a handheld unit for flexibility. ✅ 2. Update Fixtures & Layout Replace the blue toilet and basin with modern white or matte black options for a cleaner, more contemporary look. Consider a vanity cabinet sink to add storage and style. Add a mirror with LED lighting above the basin. ✅ 3. Improve the Window Area Replace or paint the burglar bars in matte black or white. Install a frosted glass or a privacy window film for natural light without compromising privacy. ✅ 4. Tiling & Walls Retile the lower wall with large, neutral-tone tiles (grey, beige, or marble finish). Add a feature tile strip or mosaic in the shower for style. Paint the upper wall with moisture-resistant bathroom paint in a warm white or soft grey. ✅ 5. Lighting Add a ceiling-mounted light fixture or a recessed light above the shower. Consider wall sconces near the mirror for softer lighting.
I have a small kitchen. One wall is about 1,9m the other is 3,1m, the widest wall across has a window and is 2,1m and the opposite wall to that is about 1,8m. The aim is to do a galley and maximise storage. I have the original kitchen cabinets in my garage and I’d like them restored and incorporated into the new kitchen. I have a pretty clear idea of what I need however there are some things I’ll need help to figure out.
