Hello all, this should/will be the last thread started by me on this topic!

We like this look of this range: www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/brooklyn-black-combination-furniture-pack-1100mm-wide?FT=5013&pgno=1

Black cabinets, white sanitary ware, but can't decide on the paneling for the walls confused

The bathroom isn't that big, is North facing with a very small window. We are planning to panel 3 walls, leaving one that can be painted.

I think the choice is either

A) Go monochrome and have white/grey paneling, and add a touch (I refuse to use the designers favourite word of "pop") of colour in the towels etc and of course the unpaneled wall

or:

B) Have a warmer shade of paneling, shades of camel or the dreaded beige (which can work well with black, my "going to the races" coat is camel with a black velvet collar) and towels in black and camel.

My feeling it that the monochrome with splashes of colour may be more appealing when we come to sell (which we might have to in 2024) and if we kept it light in colour could make the room look bigger.

However, the beige/camel option could be warmer and more relaxing.

Thank you!

Bringing back memories for many old timers.
Both Phoenix and her H have died some time ago.
Perhaps GN could get some IT folk to delete threads after a time.

I agree Usedtobeblonde although I always enjoyed posts from Phoenix maybe it's time to let her rest now.

That black stuff is a passing trend that in 5 years will be as outdated as avocado bathrooms, grey paint, and naming your baby Kylie/ River.

You only get one life, and it's the one you're living today. Style and decorate your home for your own taste, pleasure and comfort right now.

Not for some imaginary future buyer whose tastes and habits you can't foresee.

I wouldn't like it if we didn't see Phoenix's name occasionally.

So thank you to the spammed.
