Beautiful bathrooms ...

OK, we have decided to go ahead with bathroom renovations before we move in so need to move quickly and decide ASAP.

If you have seen my other threads it may come as no surprise that i have no idea what I want! DH wants a hotel style bathroom (he is away from home a lot!) with a walk in shower (full glass doors) and I want a stylish but not too current (i.e. won't date) bathroom.

I have found loads of sites with pictures of the individual fittings but I was wondering if there were any sites like fired earth which have whole bathroom type photos? (I know it is because they sell the tiles too...)

We have a downstairs loo - I was thinking of a round / rectangular basin type thing and standard toilet - and an upstairs with bath and shower.

Thanks in advance

(Off to look at Pinterest again!)

You probably know both of these already, but I'm doing the same thing and spent a lot of time looking at photos on houzz.com and on housetohome.co.uk. Good luck!

Google frontline bathrooms, you can put in your room dimensions and "build" a 3D rotatable bathroom and then drag and drop your bath, basins etc in to see what it will look like.

I think it's the only free one on t'internet.

Then go to betterpricebathrooms to choose all your bits, they have the best prices ATM (just ordering my new ensuite now)

I find Houzz quite American and not so helpful for bathroom/kitchen ideas.
Have you got any really nice showrooms near where you live as these are a good source of inspiration?

Choose your floor before you commit yourself to tiles....3 times I have found myself surrounded by a lovely finished bathroom just to think...right, floor...Oh....shit what will go with this without altering the look I want.

Thanks all.

Apuski - Thanks. Yes, i have looked at those but have still not found my ideal bathroom (is there such a thing?)

Verity - Thanks. Will definitely have a look at that!

Pannacotta - I think that about Houzz too. We have some bathroom showrooms but it is easier for me to look, initially at least, online.

Fishfingers - Thanks. DH likes grey slate type tiles and a black / slate coloured shower tray to match. We are having trouble with the other tiles now!
