apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

anyone know where I can get similar graphic printed curtains?

Oh I like this. However I would be paranoid about steamy/wet bed linen.. Great for a studio though

Wouldn't a wall (either full or partial) be equally effective? It's like they moved a canopy bed into the bathroom. Seems kind of unnecessary.

Wow, hate it!

Ewww! A toilet connected to the bed! (But love the curtains)

Danish design is sleek and sexy. The problem is..it doesn't work for crap in real life. My last trip to Denmark, I discovered that many showers are right in the bathroom floors with no water dam.. a curtain and a drain is all they have.. I was told, that there is a squeegee to wipe all the water on the bathroom floor into the drain. How stoneage is this? Is there a shortage of water in denmark? Love danes, but they are mere farmers on function!

PS: The i29 is Dutch (hence the .nl domain), not Danish (.dk).

Beautiful Bed Linen these are !! I bought similar Bed Linen from Designer Linens Outlet store and got exiting offers.

Why? Why would you have something like this when you could have a real bedroom and a real bathroom? Bedrooms are supposed to be snuggly, bathrooms are supposed to have fans and be waterproof.

I love the bathtub idea, but I'm not so wild about having to hear my SO use the toilet (or my SO hear me) while reclining in bed. Sometimes close is a little too close!

I absolutely don't get this bed system. I have a floating tub in my open plan bedroom, and the toilet is tucked behind a wall return, but this evokes a whole other concept I'm just not grasping.

Weird idea!

I'd like it better if there were a closet behind the bed and a separate bath.

Those photos look like something out of a futuristic horror movie. I'm going to my aubergine velvet happy place....

Nothing says romance like your roommate taking a dump in the bedroom.

I can't help but think of the "Love Toilet" faux-commercial from Saturday Night Live several years back...www.milkandcookies.com/link/54025/detail/...Taking care of business that close to my loved one just doesn't seem, well, appealing...Bed looks comfy, though.

Steve, that is a particularly dumb post. what has the different shower set-up to do with water shortage?
you do not use more or less water whether or not you have a shower stall, you know ...

and though i love the design, i think this example really looks like there is a bedroom-box in a big bathroom :-D

I like the idea but I would modify it to be warmer and more integrated into the room—make the shower larger and open to the skylight, the whole unit looks like it was plonked down, would reorient it in the room. The flooring looks so cold, is it concrete? industrial carpet? I would love to see this with a nice warm wooden floor.

Maike, Since this was originally posted in 2006, I think "Steve" might have moved on.

I really hate when you guys re-posti REALLY old posts, especially about "trends". Isn't this site about innovation and moving FORWARD? I don't want a repeat of all the posts I saw in 2006 (or are you expecting us to have stopped reading by now?)

So far we've got damp sheets, and tinkle and splash noises going against this idea. Nobody yet mentioned odors wafting over you as you recline in bed, so I will.

Put a fork in this turkey.

Oh, and the relaxing sound of water through pipes right behind your head, as your early-rising bedmate showers, flushes and brushes while you try to get a few minutes' more sleep.

it would only work in a small space if you happen to have an enormous bathroom...

I just dont see the purpose. I .... yah, I just... no. no. I want my bedroom to be a place of relaxation- I dont see that here. Bad idea.

Its a pretty picture, however, not practical at all. Besides, its bad Feng Shui to have bathroom elements in your bedroom!!!

I don't get it either. Who wants to sleep in a bathroom?

Steam mattress = mildew.

#2 bed right there = romance death.

No thank you.

Also? Gross.

My comment's plus signs were edited out. The above from me should read:

Steam plus mattress = mildew.

#2 plus bed right there = romance death.

No thank you.

Also? Gross.

Why would I want to lie in bed and look at a bath tub? No, not romantic. Who wants to sleep in a bird cage and break the open space of the room? With the bed under the sky light with no apparent shade, you can kiss a day time nap good bye. There is absolutely nothing redeeming about this room.

The idea of a canopied area that is slightly larger than the bed is interesting. Other than than, why?
