Master bath design help!Follow

For the past few weeks the wife and I have been undertaking a large project. We are doing a complete renovation on the master bath in our house and have most of the new stuff selected and ordered.

We have 13" African Blue Casa Roma brand Pietre Natureli ceramic tiles for the floor, 13" Quarzite Pietre Natureli Casa Roma tiles for the walls and ceiling, this new bath tub from Neptune and a cool dual flush toilet from Sterling.

We had a tough decision on what sink/basin to pick and what faucets to get with it. Talk about a bazillion choices!

I want to see what you guys would pick to go with the above fixtures.



Also, if you really feel like being helpful, we still need to pick some sort of mirror type thing for above the sink and we need to add some place to store product. Note: Everything in the room is going to be finished in polished chrome or is iron.

Anyone have contemporary bathroom design experience?

Flea just said it. Nothing there matches, find a sink that resembles the tub, let the tile and the fabrics bring the color.

And pick one, iron or chrome.

I'm not a big fan of the above counter sinks, so I voted sink #2. However, should you go with sink #1, I'd suggest a mirror similar to the one in this photo as it seems to work well. The photo actually does it little justice to be honest.

Note that the above-counter basin will be on a more angular platform. Do you think that would work? We are considering it as an accent piece that you look at as you enter through the 10 light french doors. I like your idea about the towels to help blend the bathroom.

I'm a huge fan of pedestal sinks, but an even bigger fan of functional storage areas. Pick a sink that lends itself to cabinets underneath, with lots of counter space. You can still drop in dual sinks, but not have to worry about some cheap etagere or cramming everything into a medicine cabinet.

Let the guest bath be minimalistic, yours should have the space you need.

Point well taken, the design limitation that we have to work with is little floor space, but a big wall to work with above the toilet and sink areas. There is going to be a false-wall that runs about 5" away from the real wall in this whole area, so we have the option of depressing whatever we put up there 5" into the wall. This lends to tome pretty neat options, but I cant decide.

You didn't see the 5' square tub??

I went with #1 in White, but on 2nd thoughts, your gaudy, tasteless choice of tiles means a mirror-ball Giraffe shaped sink and faucets made from elephant foreskins would raise the overall tone.

Christ, I'd want a hangover before stepping into that bathroom

I've lost faith in you Eldy. You only thought about sex in the tube?

Er... tube sex isn't in these days?

What are the dimensions of the room, Eldy? I'm getting a little dizzy from the bits and pieces of information.

I do like floating sinks, But, I would keep the basin white to go with the tub and loo.

Look at your bathroom in percentages of overall color, it's going to be 60%ish grey (with orange-brown tones in the tile) 30%ish white, with all the fixtures, then you need something about 10%ish in a blue and flowy to tie it all together.

If you could find a blue basin sink to go with the tile, that would actually be your best bet now that I think about it.

Like this? (Ignore the grey thing the taps are on, just put those on the wall)

That's kind of what I thought about this one, since it uses taps that look strikingly similar to bidet taps. (Note the vessel is hand-blown glass on this one).




This is the manufacturer for this vessel.
