Hello,
When planning and building a house, you focus on the essentials and the budget. Some wishes get dropped along the way. But certain small luxuries or nice features are important to you, even if they are not strictly necessary, and you end up including them anyway.
For us, a heated conservatory was an unattainable dream. However, we treated ourselves to tiled, walk-in showers, even though they take up more space.
I would love to hear what you have given up and what you managed to include.
Best regards

To get back to the topic. We treated ourselves to the following:
- Controlled residential ventilation system
- All shutters electrically operated
- Oak staircases
- BORA cooktop
- 2 walk-in showers
- Bathtub measuring 180cm by 80cm (71 inches by 31.5 inches)
- In the family bathroom, recessed shower and bathtub
- Basement
- FireplaceDo you think it’s a significant loss of comfort if the children’s rooms don’t have electric shutters? We might skip them, but I’m concerned we might be overlooking something.

I don’t want to go without it anymore. But it always depends on what the builder’s warranty wants for it.I’ll ask about that. At the moment, they are included as standard. It probably wouldn’t make much difference to remove them then.In our current house, we installed an 80 by 180 cm (32 by 71 inches) bathtub. I’ll never do that again[emoji23]. I’m only 170 cm (5 ft 7 in) tall. Whenever I try to relax in it, it makes bubbling noises[emoji23]. This time, we’ll stick with the standard size[emoji28].
Did you test out your bathtubs before buying? I always thought that was kind of silly, but it definitely could have saved me from that bad purchase.

I don’t find that silly at all, but rather necessary. After all, you don’t want to lie in the bathtub with your knees pulled up or just *blubblub* around. In both cases, the bathtub isn’t really used—at most, it might be for toddlers, and after that, it just collects dust.
So, give it a try.
