Im just looking on the ideal homes bathrooms section, as im currently doing my bathroom up. I cant believe this, can you imagine being in a bath at floor level! Wonder what happens to the room underneath!!

Sunken Baths were very popular in the 70's - my auntie had one & it was very chic !

Wow that's amazing!

I've been thinking about how I'd want my house, and I've got all my bathroom design in my head already! Well the en suite one anyway! (I'm hoping to be rich also...)

When you first go into the ensuite, there is a dressing room - including my wardrobes, dressing table, shoe cupboard, wall size mirrors etc.... and then a secret door to my secret little bathroom and it'll be beatiful with soft lights, old fashioned style bath with the funky legs, oh it'll be gorgeous! Can't wait to be rich hehe!

I once stayed in this huge log cabin (it was more luxury than 'shed') and it had the most enormous bathroom I've ever seen - half of it was one vast open shower with loads of jets coming down. Bet you could have got at least 20 people in the shower at once! ;) The only drawback was the bog was on full view in the corner of the room...

British houses (normal ones that is) have teeny weeny bathrooms... its such a shame.

First pic..the bath looks like a sink!

I'd like one of them though, something to step down into (bigger) like a spa!

Where did you stay mathom?!

That was in the New Forest. It even had a sauna with an outdoor plunge pool! I wasn't paying for it all though... ;)

I imagine it will just be part of a raised part of the room.

Looks mint though. I wanted to turn my en-suite into a jacuzzi, don't think the folks will go for it though!

I have trouble enough getting out the bath without it being in the floor :hihi:

Ooh yes I forgot about the jacuzzi!!

And a little place for candles set into the bath!

Sunken baths are nothing new - some frfiends of mine had a sunken bath in their bathroom in the 70's - before the days when showers were as popular.

id love to have a jacuzzi bathtub, but the bathrooms in most houses here wont accommodate for the space required for one :(

id also love one of those multi head power showers along the lines of this one here:

I have a lovely bathroom, could be straight out of a magazine:) Took 20 years of putting up with a dump though.

Now Im without a kitchen and still living in a dump, apart from the bathroom that is:)

That shower would be brilliant. It would certainly get to all the places you want it to get to. :blush: :)

Kerri, i would say thats my shower, but i doubt you'd believe me!

Pictures please wwcrazy!!!

nononono i believe and colour me jealous.

I'm a fan of sunken baths (though I've never been in one), but that bathroom is all out of proportion :gag: )

the height of that wall is demanding a bath at 'normal' height. The tiling should stop at picture rail height to bring the proportions back into line if the bath is going to be sunken :rolleyes:

It looks very 70s, especially the colours (orange candles and lilac towels? :gag:) and that strange curtain thing at the foot of the bath.

The bath looks like it's an ordinary bath that's been sunk into the floor as an afterthought. I like the ones that look a little like mini-swimming pools. Fired Earth do - or used to do - some very nice ones, as well as lovely walk-in shower rooms. Bloody expensive though.

British houses (normal ones that is) have teeny weeny bathrooms... its such a shame.

Mine's a biggun :thumbsup:

It has a separate shower cubicle and bath and there's enough space in between to dance along to Handel's water music as you dry. : :)

show off! :P

in our new house the bathroom is quite small - just bath and sink, with toilet in a separate room

BUT!

we have a spare utility room thats 8 by 5 foot that we hope to convert into a wetroom, with nice rain shower head :)

Coincidentaly,the bathroom pictured is from a house in Lodge Moor.

It was built by David Wilson Homes as part of a study project with

Nottingham University.

The sunken bath was made possible apparently because the house is 'Split

Level' with rooms of different height.

If you really like it the house is for sale through Saxton Mee. Offers around

one million pounds.:)

Everyone to Lord C's house to use the bathroom!

We have a sunken roman tub/shower in our master bath. It's nice and big, but you have to step down to get into it and we rarely use the tub portion. When my kids were small, they used to like to fill it up with water and splash around in there. I'd love to redo it, but for now, we're stuck with the old tile.

Sorry, but I don't see anything nice about that bathroom at all :rolleyes:

now I can see the rest of the room, I like it even less :mad:

a house in that price bracket with so little room next to the bath you'd bang your elbows putting your bath robe on?

the bathroom shoe horned in under the eaves too?

the en suite with the window scrunched up next to a wall like a house badly converted into flats?

Hardly the best advert for either the housebuilders or the interior designer involved :mad:

I'd like to see the floor plans for this abomination :roll:

We will be starting a bathroom we have designed in April for a client in Ecclesall.

It includes a wet area for the power shower and a custom made single piece frameless glass shower screen.

The 3D visual produced for the client is below:

Ohhhhhh that looks v nice! Well done!!!!

That house is too modern for me, I like the kitchen though. The bathroom is well just a bit different. I love old fashioned things. I mean by this I like something cozy not chintzy curtains, but something very oldy worldy.

I stayed in a old coaching barn about 3 years ago in the middle of Wales and they had converted it to a little holiday cottage. It was gorgeous. It had one of those big woodfire burners which you had to keep going all night otherwise you had no heating or hot water the next morning. The barn was about 300 years old.

It cost 300 quid to stay for three nights but well worth it as it was gorgeous as it had the history to go with it as well. It was lovely and quite.
