Bathrooms to die for

I have always loved designing bathrooms. This is one of my favorite rooms of the house! As a child I have always loved the intimate atmosphere of this room, where I could spend some time for myself. And it never changed!

Yesterday I was browsing my ‘bathroom’ file, to find some inspirational images in order to prepare a bathroom design for one of my clients.

I would love to share with you some of my favorite bathroom designs

. I have always preferred a classic styled batrhoom as the ones on these images.

Love the shutters! source Homebunch

Another one of my favorite designers is Barry Dixon. I was so enchanted by these images of one of Barry’s bathroom designs I discoverd at my friend Trish of the beautiful blog Trouvas! Here.

Indeed a new bathroom with an old theme.  Designer Barry Dixon source Trouvais

I am in the middle of preparing the design of a bathroom that is rather more a small ‘cabinet de toilette’. Our client prefers to see a French styled design.

These are only first sketches. I am still working on it!

I hope you are as inspired as I am by these ‘bathrooms to die for’ !

Choose your bathroom

If you are like me and you love to spend some time in your bathroom, then I might think you will enjoy my post of today.

There are so many beautiful bathrooms. To my opinion you should have 2 different bathrooms at your home. A classic styled bathroom and a contemporary styled one.

Depending on your mood of the day, you could take a bath in your classic styled bathroom, listening to some classic music or you could choose to take a bath while listening to lounge music in your contemporary styled bathroom!

In this post I show you some images of bathrooms I really love!

I love the warmth of this bathroom by bringing in a lot of wood as the bath paneling and the wooden shutters.

Are you agree with me that this bathroom is a wonderful place to spend some time?

A bathroom with a fire place! Must be very cosy in winter time!

I so love to see a bath standing free in the room. And the chandelier above the bath tube is just gorgeous.

A combination of paneling and wall paper.

A wall papered bathroom. Why not?

Bathroom of Brooke from Velvet and Linen

I so love the carpet and that beautiful stool Brooke has brought in here! It feels as if you are walking in a kind of living room.

Light oak for the cabinets and paneling. Very Belgian.

However it was not described, I might think that in this bathroom the Morrocan tadelakt technique is used on the walls and for the bath tube as well.

I definitely would go for this technique if I had a second bathroom. If you want to know more about tadelakt click HERE, HERE and HERE.
