Aside from deciding on the right bath and fittings, one of the most important decisions to make when renovating a bathroom is what sort of floor covering to choose. Whether you opt for wood or concrete, tile or carpet and vinyl, there are plenty of design ideas to help you create a stunning bathroom.
Choosing your flooring ideas early on can really help to tie together the style of the room, explains designer Ruth Mottershead from Little Greene. ‘If you’re using painted floorboards, paint them in a color to match your bath or to add some contrast,’ she says. You can use a hard-wearing floor paint that’s specifically designed for use in the bathroom, but make sure to sand and prep the surface first.
Concrete floors are a cool option in bathrooms and can work with a range of styles from rustic to contemporary. Getting your concrete poured with a rough texture will also increase traction, which is vital in a bathroom, and can help to reduce slippage. Concrete is impermeable to water and will last a long time, but can be cold underfoot and hard on the joints. Underfloor heating is a good way to soften the feel and to warm the room up.
Tiling a bathroom with herringbone marble tiles is a smart way to add character and texture, especially in a dark color scheme. Here the pattern separates the bathing zone from the shower area and picks up the timber tones of the vanity and window frames. Marble is a luxurious material, though it is expensive and may need to be resealed on a regular basis.
