Bathroom splashback ideas?
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. |

(I'd go for the row of tiles there myself.) David |
