Hello,
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!

I thought that’s what the doorstop is for!? That you end up stubbing your toes on?
And it’s not that costly. It already looks good when finished. Sure, it could be better, but in the end, it’s just a different sink. And I can do without that for now. There are more important things, like a cupboard with more storage space.

In my opinion, of course, it has to suit your taste.
By the way: I can’t figure out how anyone could stub their toes on that position with the door hinge.

Our additional budget for the bathroom was slightly reduced due to other expensive extras, so we focused on the essentials. We now have a larger bathtub and a nearly flush-mounted 100cm x 100cm (39in x 39in) shower tray. After that, the money was almost used up, and the construction company didn’t offer anything reasonable for an affordable extra charge. There were 2 to 3 stylish options, but each would have cost over 1000 dollars. We’d rather buy a new washbasin ourselves in a few years. We chose timeless tiles that should theoretically last “forever.”
And right, it has to please us. At least the large glass door for the shower was relatively inexpensive.

Sebastian7920 Mar 2016 13:14Yeah, I also like white – we were very conservative with all the bathrooms as well.
You can add color through decoration and painting; tiles stay with you for what feels like an eternity.
I’m familiar with the shrinking budget...

Hello everyone,
I think it’s fine to also share ideas about guest toilets here. Most people probably have one, and you can make a science out of anything.
Our guest toilet should preferably have an outward-opening door, so you don’t have to step around the door in an already tight space.
The interior width shouldn’t be too narrow, so there’s still enough room to comfortably flip through a newspaper.
A ventilation system to remove odors should not be missing in such a small room either. :eek _O

Here is the custom-made mirror in glossy black, designed to match the washbasin reasonably well:

Regarding wallpaper in the guest toilet: I think it’s something you can do.

Since the guest toilet is very long, we decided to angle the wall at the entrance. This creates a much better sense of space in the hallway just outside, and I think it adds a nice touch of flair.

If you look closely at the picture above, I had the electrical panel installed there. This way, I don’t have to hang a picture in the hallway to hide it, like most people do.
Below it is the control unit for the underfloor heating. It’s easy to access, and the annoying box is neither in the hallway nor the main bathroom!
Now about the illuminated niche:
I find it a shame when expensive bathroom fittings are installed, but the ugly shut-off valves and, even worse, the water meters are visible on the wall.
That’s why these things here have found a spot that’s easy to reach (magnetic mirror, easy to remove).

Maybe a small thought to inspire your bathroom planning.
Good luck!

Hello,
many home builders could learn a lot from you and your bathrooms – there are quite a few nice details that could be adapted, or at least serve as inspiration. Thank you very much for the personal insight.
Personally, I find there are too many highlights and reflections on the glossy surfaces.
