Bathtub by House of Thol photograph by Johannes van Assem |
T is a bit less waterconscious, and uses his showertime primarily to think and relax.
I'm an advocate to save water of course, but looking at the following round-up, i can imagine i'd easily waste away more gallons in these bathrooms.
Luckily for the environment i don't actually own one of these.
And in a couple of years, when i do, i'm sure the whole greywater-system (that helps you recycle water within your home) is way more advanced and i can enjoy my shower or bath time with a clear(-er) conscience knowing the water will be reused.
Anyway, here goes...
How about this minimalist and functional bathroom in a Melbourne family home?
I'm liking the simple yet chique tiling because the tiles seem to be slightly smaller than usual, yet they're so recognizable. Also, love the faucet, marble floor and wooden accents.

On the topic of wood: i'm pretty sure this wooden bathtub in Bette Midlers' residence in New York is hardly ever used.
It just doesn't look that comfortable.
However, it does look stylish and rustique, and most importantly: it's made of the sacred Hinoki Wood, which has a slight lemon-like scent and is used in all kinds of rituals in Japan.

Robust yet so serene, this bathroom in a vacation house in Greece, designed by Greek architectural studio Block 722.
Liking the semi-sunken tub, and i'm pretty sure this bath-area is actually incorporated in a bedroom, which i love.
I'd just be a wee bit self-conscious about the large window without curtains.

What i love about this smart concrete bathroom, is the combination of the sunken bath with a regular shower.
I can imagine the inner corners of the tub make nice little nooks to sit on and/or keep hair products.
Not so sure if the actual tub is that comfortable.

I know i know, enough with the sunken bathtubs already...
Just wanted to share this last one.
Because of the special nook for the shower and the beautiful flower that would totally not be there in real life.

This following shower space has an industrial concrete wall with functional robust metal hooks and reminds me of sports-club showers, - albeit a very stylish and clean version of those showers.
I'm loving the combination of the rough concrete, functional showerhead and small glazed tiles, not so sure about the large round light-fixture.

While we're on the topic of communal shower area's, Dutch company JEE-O, that makes amazing industrial bath-fixtures, came up with this stylish shared shower.

We're slightly going darker when it comes to spaces, and i didn't want to leave out this dark concrete wet room in a Morrocan Villa by Studio Ko.

Maybe not so very minimalist, -or robust, for that matter-, but i love these beautiful large plants for a bathroom + check out that circular shower curtain rail.

Talking about green and robust, how about this photograph that's circling the web?
It was originally published in a National Geographic magazine in January 1991 and judging by the greenery i'm pretty sure this is somewhere tropical.
