Oh, for sure, heated floors. Nothing wakes you up faster, during a late night trip to the bathroom, than stepping onto a cold tile floor......and an under cabinet light that comes on when you walk in would also be wonderful.

I'm an avid tourist (NYC based). One thing I find myself forever enamored with when I travel to certain area overseas: Bidets. All forms: the separate bidet (my first bidet experience - at my cousin's house in Jamaica); the handheld bidet (common in Muslim countries); the fancy toilet seats of Japan. I always told myself that I will know I have ~made it~ if I ever get myself a bidet.

Piff... I have had a bidet in two of my homes. Miss having one in my little cottage.

Countryside. The reality of a sea view for me would be the cold, grey North Sea! Not the romantic vision of turquoise I'd like, but the countryside view from my home through the seasons never disappoints, with the added bonus of mountains in the distance.

My 'dream' bathroom would have a great view, not be overlooked, will be x-factor practical to keep clutter free, clean and tidy with superb ease, be extremely stylish, have a huge tub and a great walk in shower without glass to swipe, have the perfect mood and make up lighting, be spacious, be well heated underfoot and in general, have piped music, space for candles, a bunch of fresh flowers, well hidden clever storage, lots of mirrors, can be opened to the elements, have space for some decorative items and easy to reach towels, and ideally be right next to my dressing room. Oh and it would have a call button for the butler! Can you see it??

POLL: Bathroom or cloakroom?
Q

I grew up in a house where the toilet was separate from the bathroom, so that arrangement seems normal to me. What makes me prefer that now is the hygiene aspect - when you flush a toilet, apparently some fecal matter becomes aerosolised and can settle on your toothbrush, towels, etc...yummy! Having a shared bathroom and taking a shower after someone else has 'dropped their kids off at the pool', isn't particularly pleasant and air-freshener just highlights the issue.

'Feature' wall in bathroom? This wallpaper?
Q
Comments (6)
Thank you. the current tiles in there are really quite big - much bigger than this size on the paper. To be honest I'm trying to do as much cosmetic improvement to the house as possible using as little money as possible so I hadn't thought of removing the bottom tiles and doing that whole wall with this paper but yes I think that would look good, much better than doing half. I imagine we could remove the current tiles ourselves but would then get someone in to re plaster that bit of wall? If so, how long is it before you can paper a newly plastered wall?

A new kind of surface technology, un-invented yet, perhaps new breakthroughs in materials science or nano-technology -- so that it is 100% water repellent. Which means zero cleaning to remove any moisture or hard water deposits on the shower space or tub space. So that moments after every shower or bath, the entire space is 100% dry with zero deposits, as if you have just installed it brand-new! :)

Ellen, thank you! Was pretty expensive last time I've checked, but it was some years ago... Hopefully price went down since then...

Other little things I like to have in the bathroom: sounds of nature/white noise, back from the days, when kids were young and I just wanted so much to.... pee in peace, ☺️; and, I still cannot understand, why (so often!) the toilet is set right next to the bathtub. Gross, kind of, isn't it?
Hope no sensibilities were offended

As for a reclining toilet....

I am in the throes of whole house redo because of joist issues and one bathroom issue turned into the other one needing it too (shower pan gave way, joists were gone).

I added seriously flushing toilets and got rid of the weird kink in one set of plumbing (trust me, things will go down now!) and did radiant floors and granite slab floor (these lovely huge tile like slabs) and got the shower pan back in and the tub (different bathrooms). I still have to graft in the vanities; I found these lovely 'add a grab' fixtures I need to afford
http://www.grabcessories.com/
that if properly mounted are meant for you to grab onto for balance as well as look good.

I did put the plumbing in and tiled the alcove, I am adding a urinal corner to the master bath. He wants to miss, I want it confined. :) I rate that higher than a bidet.

Working from floor up in a bathroom is different but I'm going according to what I had to rip out first and what I can afford as I get stuff to finished. I have the drywall but some of the fixture stuff may be a while in coming....

My dream bathroom has a bidet washlet//toilet, walk in shower, towel warming rack, heated floor, drawer for hair dryer with outlet in drawer to remove counter clutter. Also want a soaking tub, plenty of storage space for towels, soaps, toilet paper, various products for skin and hair care, etc. easy care surfaces on everything, with no unnecessary crevices to gather dust and dirt, a full length mirror, built-in hamper. Actually, with the exception of the soaking tub, I already have the aforementioned things. Lucky me!!!

I'd love a totally self-cleaning one or a robot to clean them all! Close the door, turn on my hospital-grade germ killer and voila! Sparkling clean, and no effort.

I'd love a Jetson's flying car, too. And Rosie their Robot to vacuum for me...lol.

I believe every room in the house needs a walk-in closet and the bathroom is no exception. I want places for towels and big packs of toilet paper and Kleenex boxes and cleaning supplies and plungers and grout cleaning gadgets and so that the guests don't open my medicine cabinet and find every product I have.
