these, shows up all muck and dirt is ingrained in the joins from originally trying to mop, do not mop. I now have to clean on hands and knees. Such a shame as I love the look and the colour, just not practical for us

We've had a simple white howdens kitchen, with the plan to upgrade to those birch plywood / some nice custom doors in the future.

We spent the money we saved on nicer appliences.

Y u no Gaggenau

I had specced out oven and domino hobs - then the costs for the works came in and now that is out the window

Did you have the sink made from Corian or something else?

Because I’m crazy fussy I didn’t like the radii of their house integrated sinks, so I sourced one from elsewhere in a matching finish. It’s under mounted, so not technically seamless. I not sure you’d be able to source a matching finish for Glacier White but could be wrong.

Thanks, looks good but I'm not sure its worth the cost/faff for what will be a cold floor. Lino it is!

(their paint that imitates plaster looks great though, wish I'd known about that sooner).

Our architect said we could so…. 🤷‍♂️
But that’s good info

Any thoughts? Layout is pretty constricted by services etc.

Wall to the right of the basin / behind door will be a mirror, thought I might stick a globe lamp on it

cork floor, natch

Where are you going to put toiletries?

Flush cupboard above toilet, in boxing.

cupboard above the toilet

Where are you going to put toiletries

'flush built-in cupboard above toilet'

Edit: Seems that's covered, unless anyone else wants to clarify too?

looks great,

what software would this be?

Where we gonna put the TP holder!?

It’s Sketchup, I use it for work too.

Where we gonna put the TP holder!?

side of the basin? in a fancy recessed cubby built into the side of the tub? (likely crap ergonomics as too low). Disappointing you haven't stuck the loo opposite the doorway for those door-open eye–contact dominance shits.*

Why is the tub not flush with the shower end? or is the tiled recess for classy sit-down showers?

Have you considered moving the taps further towards the towel-rail end so you can set shower temp without having to get into the tub/behind the screen?

I'd be tempted to put a cabinet under the basin for extra storage – when I did ours we had a recessed cupboard above the cistern (toilet roll, a few towels (rolled up, held in place vertically by a lovely brass rod), bath toiletries), recessed cab above the basin (daily stuff) and two drawers underneath (can't even remember what went into there) and once idiot child #1 came along we hit capacity disappointingly quickly. If you can live with the one cupboard I envy your monastic lifestyle.

^{*(we have this, I hate it. With the door open I can see both through the landing window across to next door AND down the stairs through to our front door.)}

Shame, though appreciate a full suite of Gaggenau appliances costs more than most kitchens.
What are you likely to go for?

The sitting recess bit was just me realising there would be a big empty box covered in tiles otherwise. Better to have a seat / shampoo shelf, should make showering feel a bit more spacious too. Could shift the bath in, but then we’d end up with a shelf at the other end, making entry a bit harder for the same screen gap. Haven’t looked into extra long baths yet.

Controls reachable from dry is a good one, probs will do that. Screen will be fixed so makes sense.

Think we’re ok with minimal storage. No kids and no plans to. The basin is a nice enamel steel Alape job so good to keep it minimal and on show. Easy enough to make a cabinet later though, full of TP.

👏 brilliant giffing. envy for the minimalism, I wish we could live that here but I can't fight the avalanche of (other people's) stuff :(

No kids and no plans to.

when it comes to achieving the a e s t h e t i c, this is cheating fyi.

Ain’t gonna lie, the a e s t h e t i c was a factor in the decision

Would boxing out the bath end and adding shower controls/pipe runs there not give you more floor space than boxing the wall to the side of the bath out 10cm for pipe given its already dead space?

If not then recessed cubbys all along that end might be more functional/better looking than a seat and a shelf?

Chasing the shower controls and pipework into that wall, no boxing.

Got a kitchen fitter/builder coming over on Monday to have a look at requirements for our big rip out etc. Can anyone see anything that they'd reconsider?

Floors are block and beam and mega cold at the moment, but want to minimise the floor height difference, I think just getting rid of the tiles and replacing with some underlay and some sort of wood floor would go a long way from where its at right now.

Right hand wall is an old fireplace so we'll need to raise the lintel to get an extractor in there.

The space around the door on the left wall we're planning on leaving with more space than we need so we can widen the doorway into more of an arch when we get round to rebuilding a utility room as tiny side return room.
