Our Georgica Marble wetroom would win the big shower vote, based in a fast city such as London this shower room was installed in what space was available a storage cupboard. Perfect to dive into before rushing off to the office.

as luxurious as a stone bath might sound, be warned that natural stone, especially marble, travertine & limestone are lime based, therefore conventional cleaning products is a big NO-NO as the acids in them will corrode the stone, Bleach and limescale remover is 2 such examples. Acrylic and steel are 2 of the most tried and tested materials and you will never go wrong with either.

This community is amazing! I've only just joined - what a beautiful lot you all are! Minnie, I LOVE the idea of a crittall window style shower. I'm going to look online but if you know where to go please do point the way. The brick slips are definitely on my list now, will have to find convincing looking ones. Have you used them? I'm planning to insulateand condensation proof the bathroom using hempcrete so it'll definitely be slips rather than the exposed brick itself. AJ, YES to those ideas esp where to put the radiator, hadn't thought about that bit. I'm not sure about the copper bath but you've got me thinking, which is just what I wanted. I love those elegant tables. I think we're too messy for a towel ladder and actually maybe we'll go for heated towel rails, one either side other window - oh, I suppose instead of the rad.. see how this collaboration works!! Thank you all for all your ideas..keep them coming!

I personally wouldn't consider free standing unless you have space all around it (otherwise you are getting the worst of both worlds)- you then have to think about floor standing tap. To me practicality outweighs design in a bathroom unless you have the budget to achieve both :) think about where your towel is for when you get out - where are the toiletries going to sit to be accessible, or candles etc if you want to luxuriate, what is your view when you are lying there....pillow for the neck - a lot have really sharp edges!
