Totally selfish start for this thread but me and the better half can't make our minds up about what we want to do with our bathroom.

She's all for a freestanding bath (which I'll never use) so I need a shower as well.

She's also leaning towards the more traditional style roll top bath but we both want everything else in the bathroom to be modern - so I'm trying to convince her the modern freestanding baths can look good when it's part of the complete set.

Everything on pintrest etc with the modern baths always has a very monochrome style to it so we're finding it hard to relate what we have in our heads to what we see.

So, who wants to show off their bathroom? :)
 
My bathroom is monochrome so not much use to you! That was deliberate though, we change the colour with RGB lighting.
 
I use a Phillips hue light strip around the door frame in my bathroom to soften the harshness of the all white tile, works quite nicely.

Can be quite fun to take a shower when I've got the hue lights bouncing in sync to the audio of my sound system :p

I'm afraid the bathroom itself is rather boring though, more of a closet than a bathroom...and no bath :(
 
Ive a Rocca roll top bath in one of our bathrooms and frankly it's annoying as it is neither long enough or deep enough when you consider where the overflow is. My wife loves it, but she is small and I use showers mainly but what I do know is it weighs about as much as a Mini....with 4 people in it. I don't have any photos though. If only they invented a phone with a camera in it or something.
 
Mine is tiny but I got it all done last year. I live in a 3 bed Victorian semi and it is upstairs, but has been shoehorned into part of the back bedroom.

Probably not what you are looking for but I like it. Excuse the mess.

I've got a Stuart Turner 3bar Monsoon pump under the bath powering the hot water to the shower to equalize the pressure. It can empty the hot water tank in about 15 minutes.

Look at houzz.com, I found it a lot better than Pinterest. There are thousands of bathrooms on there that should give you some design ideas.:)
 
Sorry for the thread revival but having ordered parts in October 2015 we just put on the door last night, completing the bahtroom :)

Super happy with how it turned out!

With so much choice it was impossible for us to visualise accent tiles and trims so we ended up going marble from floor to ceiling - no accents, no trims - just marble and white goods :D

Oh, and the reason it took so long is that I did everything, apart from the tiling, myself - at least twice :)

Went with copper plumbing first time... then changed to plastic... Only took 6 attempts at fitting the toilet to get it not to leak... Radiator was a frickin' nightmare!

Finally found my pace at the end. It went from an empty room to fully fitted in about 6 weeks.

Good learning experience - every room in the house looks like a cakewalk compared to this bad boy.

Easily the most stressful part was learning about joining old pluming to new and that moving things in a bathroom is never as straightforward as you'd like it to be in your head :)

EDIT: This is what it looked like before: https://theta360.com/s/d1lpAajJCpHi7vTYnidZlNxXE

Ha! It's a sink, not a bath! :)

Maybe this picture gives you a better idea of the size but I'd describe it as "medium".

By no means it as large as some sinks, but it's not one of those really annoying ones where you get water everywhere either.

P.S. Nice Kona! That's a whole bunch of design elements we just couldn't put together in our heads!

Same goes to you mate, you got a nice size space to work with. Looks lovely.


I really loved my builder's attention to detail

this is under the sink

So we got 60x40 tiles in marble, which was £51 per square meter... But we got a crazy discount where we ended up paying cost price due to the company bending over backwards for us after not being able to color match two batches of Travertine :)
