Since I am about to start building my house and am already thinking about the bathroom but have no clear idea yet, I’m opening this thread.
Please feel free to share how you have built your bathrooms and what they look like. Maybe I can pick up some ideas!

Hi!
I have been looking for a thread like this (and I’m sure many others have too...)
Thank you very much, Mycraft, for the great pictures – it would be fantastic if more homeowners shared their bathrooms here! We are still in the planning stage, and as soon as we have pictures (2017 ), we will of course post ours here as well.

Hello everyone,
I’m happy to share a few pictures as well.
Info: Condominium, purchased from the developer.
Before buying, the developer assured us that we could move the walls as we wished. After the purchase, things looked different, but after a lot of hassle and arguing, we managed to enforce our wishes.
Since the developer’s companies did not match our “taste,” we awarded the plumbing and tiling work to companies we selected ourselves. Of course, this became quite expensive, but we are happy with the results every day.
The initial idea was to turn a 3m (10 feet) bathroom into a 4.44m (14.6 feet) bathroom. For the tradespeople, it was a simple task; for us, it was a milestone.
Since the bathroom has no window, we chose a glass door on the spot. It really makes a difference. The door has a clear opening width of 1m (3.3 feet) to be wheelchair accessible – you never know.

With no window, where to dispose of unpleasant odors? That’s when I came across the Grohe extraction system. Even after a late night at the Greek restaurant with ouzo, the next person can enter immediately. It works SUPER WELL!
Here you can also see the air filter (activated carbon) and the slot for water tablets to produce blue toilet water.
I control the bathroom fan (100m³/h) above the toilet with its own switch. That way, nothing spoils a relaxing bath.
The shower holder/hose, much to my wife’s dismay, works perfectly as a toilet paper holder.

...here is the niche, which really gave me a headache. The drywall and tile (grout) pattern had to match. Plus, how to fit the lighting in, etc.?

We thought the bathtub would be simple. But after weeks of testing different tubs on Saturdays at bathroom showrooms, we were at a loss. Somehow, everything felt uncomfortable. Then this model from the catalog: according to Duscholux, this tub isn’t sold anywhere in Germany!
The plumbing salesperson said it was comfortable—based on his memory!!!
So we ordered it, and we have to say, the sense of space with armrests and a widening footwell is great.
The sinks are pressed from marble powder and extremely heavy. But this means no risk of discoloration and excellent sharp edges.
Retractable towel holders on the left and right for the towels.
