This is not so much a DIY question as a bathroom design one. In my new
partialy-finished bathroom there is a pedestal basin. The wall which it
sits against is just emulsioned with no splashback. If I leave the wall
like that it's not going to take long before it gets splashed with
dirty water and looks horrible. The usual solution is to put a few
tiles on the wall to make a splashback, but I don't really like the
look of that. Does anyone have any clever ideas for how to make that
area wipeable?


A mirror that reaches from edge of basin to the celing.
it would create a lot of light.


nitpick
No, it wouldn't.

It would probably make the room seem lighter, etc etc, yes; however i
wouldn't recommend it right down to the basin because being a mirror,
and that low down, every little splash of water/toothpaste is going to
show up and you'll be forever cleaning it. (I'd go for the row of tiles
there myself.)
