Hi
In the middle of a reno on our ensuite and am looking for some ideas for the back wall of the alcove area tub.
Context
- The wall is 72"h and 76" w
- There will be white oval drop-in tub on a marble deck.
- Deck with have a 6" backsplash on the 3 sides.
- There will be a dark maple bookshelve system on each of the sides.
- There is also as dark maple towel storage section off of the right).
- And a removable dark maple access panel
- There are two pots (on a dimmer) over the tub.
Goal
- aesthetics
- something practical re soap etc while in the bath
Initial ideas for the back wall:
-something dramatic, like all glass tile, but thought it would be too much as there is a lot going on there.
-also thought of a half-tiled wall, but that did not look so good (on paper) given the side units are full height.
-thought of putting a marble shelve right across but it s way too heavy, and not practical to install at this point.
Recent ideas now that we are close:
- Current plan is to use a combination of tile, glass tile and pencil border as shown in mock-up below.
- But I think I also need a niche (also in pic) as the deck is too thin at middle and there is nowhere else to hold soap ( other than in the bookcases). (And we dont really like the surface basket. Wife is so-so- on the niche idea, but I don't see too many other options.
Any other ideas?
