I think floor to ceiling tiles in a small bathroom can look quite nice. You may want to think about using a combination of tiles to add more interest and texture to the room.

The freestanding bath fillers are vulnerable to being knocked. When you think about the physics of it, it is asking a lot of a small fixture to resist that amount of leverage. Talk to your architect. They should be able to come up with a support that fits with your design and is a bit more robust than the long and thin proprietary bath fillers. Also how far is your bath from the wall? If it is closer than 300mm I would still be waterproofing the wall, and with young children around I would waterproof it even if further away.

After some advice. I purchased these now discontinued Dorf Myriad wall taps last year from the Blue Space to go with my shiny Phoenix chrome swivel bath spout. I am only just starting my bathroom reno in N.Z. My plumber Fred has told me that I can’t use my wall taps because the threads on the bath tap heads do not fit 15mm or 20mm standard fittings in N.Z. I have to locate a recess tap body into which the ceramic discs of my taps can fit into - refer plumbers instructions on the post it note he left me. Do you have any advice? The tapware aesthetic I am going for in my new bathroom is matt black-chrome so I would be gutted if it wasn’t able to use these pretty jewels. Thank you in advance.

I'm looking to source replacement doors for my existing standard height underbench units and wall units. Does anyone have any recommendations ? Ideally looking for something other that flat profile.
