apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

A mirror with a shelf is a more minimal take on a traditional medicine cabinet.... until you realize how many toiletries you need to have easy access to on a daily basis, and you're stuck cramming it all onto a tiny little shelf, in full view, since you don't have a medicine cabinet!

Any source for the sink/counter combos on the photo with the stripey bag sitting on a wooden bench?

not to mention the shelf is a dust and grime collector....and you try to take one item off the shelf and knock down three more....nice in theory....horrible for real-life. Love the floating shelves though and the blue/green tile.....oh my kingdom for a house!

Does anyone have a bathroom that's anywhere near the size of these rooms? Also thinking taht the bathroom with double showers and a bench reminds me of a camping bathroom. They look very similar, but have shower curtains....

well, just to correct the image that Europe is free of shower curtains or doors - they are the rule here, too.

and the bathrooms rarely are this big around here, either. i know precisely one house with a bathroom like that, and i do know my share of houses ... :-D these clearly are ideal rooms, like mag shots. i still do like them, but as it has been said before, they need a few additions to become useable and every day proof. (using a step stool to get into - and out of - a tub sounds like an accident waiting to happen, actually.)

I have loved the open shower method since I saw it on this old house a long time ago.
I would love to redo the bathroom in the place I am going to buy someday so that there is no tub but a full shower with a tile bench/seat.
The bathroom with hooks is some sort of institutional setting -note the soap dispensers-.
Shelf is a bad idea.
So is putting towels up high where the steam will just make a moldy mess..
I like the long mirror and the green tile.

I have a fairly large bathroom, but there almost no free wall space or free floor space. Wish I did. There are some terrific ideas there.

I just finished renovating two generic 5x8 rooms that came with hideous prefab shower/tub stalls.

The master bath main wall ran parallel to the house's exterior wall, but it seemed like there was a lot of extra space trapped behind it. There was. Enough to cut the wall back 18" AND add a 12" built-in.

Just like staircases, bathrooms placed on out edges often have space you can easily reclaim.
