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.

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.15-1  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!

  2. Mirrors, candles and wall paper (And always the chandelier!) are what spoke to me in your post - I couldn't pick a favorite because I could find something in each picture that I would say "WOW" to myself over! Each one is a Gem in it's own way.

    Cheers,
    John

  3. Greet, het is weer al een tijdje geleden hé? Het is bij ons superdruk en de tijd die ik in de projecten steek zorgt ervoor dat er voor andere dingen niet heel veel tijd overblijft, maar....gelukkig maar: we zijn blij dat we voor zo veel mensen mogen werken.... In elk geval: deze badkamers zijn PRACHTIG ! Het ontwerp van Philippe Timmerman spreekt mij enorm aan: zo'n sfeer willen we in onze nieuwe badkamer, maar misschien moeten we als het zover is een ontwerp door jullie laten maken. Veel liefs, Sabine
