Hello everyone,
I would like to share the current status of the renovation planning for my two bathrooms and would greatly appreciate any improvements, ideas, or feedback.
It was important to us to design the bathrooms so that they feel warm and cozy.
The larger bathroom (yellow fixtures) is on the upper floor and will only be used by us (man, woman, and a 2-year-old child). The smaller bathroom (red fixtures) is on the ground floor and will also serve as a guest bathroom/guest toilet… so, enough talking, here are some photos and the planning images.
We have family members who are heating engineers, plumbers, bricklayers, and electricians, so we can plan somewhat more creatively without exceeding our budget.

You might be asking the wrong person 😀
Personally, I see the guest bathroom as the room where you can be bold with color, maybe even extraordinary or “exotic” 🙂
The floor in a small space should match the lower wall tiles to create a more spacious feel, because the tiles continue from the floor up the wall, which prevents the small floor area from standing out. White sanitary fixtures then stand out more clearly.
If you lean toward the exotic, you could design the room accordingly. Dark red… olive…
On second thought, there are too many materials used: I see mosaic, shower tiles, parquet, the mint-colored pre-wall, wood table. One wood too many, one tile too many. It feels a bit random.
What about floor tiles that continue into the shower and up the wall, combined with a bold glass mosaic for the pre-wall?
Or use the same tile for the floor and pre-wall, with the entire shower as an accent?
Check out Houzz 😉
Regards, Yvonne Good point about having too many different materials... I’ll try drawing a few versions with fewer materials.
Unfortunately, I lack the confidence for strong accents [emoji5]️ but I can keep experimenting with the computer and try some more exotic wall colors... Let’s see what comes out of it.

So, we have the Raindance 360 from HG (surface-mounted version). With the Ecostat Select mixer, it costs about 700.- We are very satisfied with it. There is also a 420 version (that always refers to the width). Only the head (concealed) costs, I believe, between 300 and 400 euros... That sounds like a good compromise to enjoy the pleasant sound of a rain shower without having to pay high four-figure sums. I think that’s what I will go for. Why did you choose the surface-mounted version instead of the concealed one?

Peanuts7415 Feb 2017 09:21We simply liked the combination with the shower hose and the very practical thermostat. With this, you really don’t need any additional storage space, shelves, or anything else.
The surface of the thermostat comfortably fits about 10 average bottles of shower gel, shampoo, etc.
We have it in both bathrooms and are 100% satisfied. You can turn all the other faucets in the house on and off as much as you want, the temperature in the shower does not change (noticeably, maybe measurable).

We have it in both bathrooms and are 100% satisfied; you can turn all the other faucets in the house on and off at will, and the shower temperature does not change noticeably (maybe measurable though). Good tip, thank you very much for that.

As I already mentioned, we really liked the combination with the chrome pipe. We didn’t give it any further thought afterwards... Ok, now I understand. Thank you very much.

Hello everyone, to wrap up this thread, here are a few photos of the bathroom... It still needs some decoration, but otherwise it is finally finished. I will take some pictures in daylight soon and upload them here. Thanks for the tips I received here. Similar topics
