We've decided to get our bathroom made more disabled-friendly.  It's going to be a kind of wet-room with non-slip flooring, grab rails & a shower seat for Steve that folds up against the wall.  Walls will be white tiles but with a border.  Much like this photo but with more border...


We've decided against those half-way up doors that usually feature in disabled bathrooms, we're just having long shower curtains.   So maybe more like this...


Anyhoo, I've seen some lovely mosaic tiles for the border (I do love mosiac) and, once I've got rid of this rotten cold, I intend taking my flooring sample along to Topps Tiles in the hope that they match nicely!  It's the blue & aqua ones that I have my eye on...


I have a choice of two for the flooring: this is the "marine"...

 

..and this is the "sheared slate"...

 

I'm thinking the "marine" may look a bit too dark, I'm hoping the "sheared slate" is more aqua than grey - doesn't "sheared slate" sound grey to you?   Does to me.  However, the flooring has a touch of glitter which I like, it makes it less "hospital".

The shower curtains will have to be extra long - 210-220 cm drop, and here's the rub.  I've had a quick look on t'internet and the extra long ones seem to come in white...or white.  Argh!  I currently have a lovely shower curtain like this in lemon & peach...
 
Not sure I can bear plain white!
