As a mother of 3 children (girls) living in a house with 2 bathtubs and a walk-in shower we never used the bathtubs. It was just so much more convenient and faster to hustle them into the stand up shower especially if it has a hand spray attachment. I was very fortunate to have a massive kitchen sink that I used for their first year n half after that it was the shower
I think we would be the same if we ever did decide to have children - lots of options! Planning on having a big Belfast sink, so that is definitely doable!
Just one thought on the tiles in the shower. I do have smaller tiles in the shower and would not do it again. The more grouting, the harder to clean. I would recommend bigger tiles or even something seamless. Like your desing though!!
That's a great point, so much to consider isn't there! Thank you for sharing!
Try some fake tiled shower walls to get the same look without grout !!
I'm so excited for you guys finally getting to shower inside your own house. All your styles are beautiful, I don't think you can make a "bad" decision. Just keep one practical thing in mind: the tumbled, textured tile is going to keep a lot more dirt and will be much harder to clean than the smooth option. Best of luck to both of you.
Omg a shower in the house is so alien to think about but it's going to be sooooo good!!
And good point on the tumbled tiles, they are sooo nice, but we will put some more consideration into this before making a decision 🙌🧡
My sister has tumbled tiles in her kitchen (not marble though) and the texture makes it a nightmare to clean. Very beautiful but picking anything up with a cloth or mop is almost impossible. Maybe something else to consider...
Thanks for sharing your thought process! Don’t think you can go wrong with any of these options, truly beautiful. Go with your instincts and what you’ll love seeing every day.
Hey Rebecca! Ahh thanks, it's such a hard thing to commit to final designs for us, but I thinknyou are right, I think either way it will be great and if not, we live, laugh and learn for next time 😅🧡
Definitely Brass is the way to go The floor the tumbled Marble looks nice . The green for the shower. If you need a bath get a tin bath in the living room ❤😂😂😂
Ohhh not that is a bougie idea! what would the neighbours think ahha!
I vote for the left version. That green colour in the shower looks amazing. I'm also not a big fan of a big vanity sorry 😅 the brass sink looks cool and with a nice overhead cabin with a mirror and storage behind for toothbrushes it will look nice.
And don't worry about the bathtub. Take it from someone who loves to take a bath, if you have to choose between a good shower or a mediocre one with a bath, pick the shower. Plus with kids you can either use the kitchen sink or get one of those baby plastic bathtubs that you just put in the shower when needed and store it somewhere else afterwards.
I worry that the bathroom will be too dark with the dark green + stained glass windows. All your inspo pics have good light sources. Is this something you guys have factored in ?
Hey, good point to raise and thank you. So we also have a good size skylight above as well, so we should be #blessed with light to be honest 🙌🧡.
This was such a fun video, and I think that more like this would be great! I love your choices! It's going to be a beautiful bathroom.
Ahh ace, we will defo do more then in the future, as we enjoyed it to and a nice change of pace from the demo 😅🧡🙌
My two pence worth, big walk in shower no bath. Cleaning grout is a awful job and small tiles will make a small space look smaller and fussy. So either large tiles, floor and wall. Or look at some of the new shower boarding to avoid grout altogether.
Great points here Zane! Do you know what the shower boards are made of?
@@RestoringNumberFour you can get MDF backed ones but I would avoid them. Look for composite one’s so if there is a water leak they don’t degrade.
This is going to be beautiful, I love your channel and can't wait for this to really start. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
Hey Jackie! Hope you have had a nice weekend, thanks for the nice comment and we can't wait too, it's just round the corner now eeeekkk 🧡
Just make sure your bathroom sink is deep enough, we made a big mistake with a shallow sink and had to replace it. Love the mood board!
In my opinion, those green pannels on the walls is a trend. It will look very dated in 10 years.
Keep your hard fixtures/surfaces neutral ie white. You can change paint colour on walls much easier than tiles, sinks, flooring. Light fixtures etc. any counter around the sink is a must. Single lever faucet with a mixer is so much nicer than trying to get the right temp water. Much more practical than two faucets. Classic floor is lovely. Make sure the marble is sealed or any thing that drops on it will leave a mark. Also I agree with larger piece of tile with the least grout the easier to clean. If you have hard water the green tiles will be dirty looking all the time.
Love the modern victorian style ❤ Also love the green & white/cream colors. Is there a honed green tile? I had tumbled marble as a kitchen backsplash and cannot imagine using it on the floor of a bathroom. Imagine trying to clean up a spilled hair product! Even with a sealer it wants to absorb. Go with honed.
Love the design, especially the greens. I always prefer less shiny surfaces as it feels calmer. I'm just wondering how to clean marble? Can you use vinegar on it for example, to get rid of limescale?
It's your house, don't apologise for making your house fit for purpose for you!
Love these ideas, this has given me some inspiration on my new build to make these story boards. Thank you for sharing. Also, I think bathtubs are over rated, I never used the one in my current house, always the shower. Only benefit is for small children.
I’ve recently seen a wonderful idea for the bathroom floor. A designer took different leftover pieces of the marble on marble production ( which they don’t use or don’t need anymore)and created a puzzle on the floor. If u want to check the end result I can share a link to the video.
Drives me nuts when people interject about bathtubs “bEcAusE oF kIdS”… kids aren’t living there in the immediate future, you are! I say go for just the shower - I’m thinking of converting my combo tub/shower to just a shower myself. Also, love that bottle green color!
Hahah, it does irk me that most people assume we will have kids 😅 we don't know if we do, and it will defo not be in the immediate future so we want to enjoy a big old shower while we can 😂
Dark colours mean soap scum in the shower 😢
When you’ve finnished it will be good enough for the Prince and Princess of Wales to come round for a cup of Earl Grey 🛁🚽☕️☕️
Haha they will have to pay for a tour like the rest 🤣🤣
We are getting rid of our bathtub too!
Ahh interesting, don't use it enough?
@@RestoringNumberFour no, and it makes the room so tiny. Look forward to seeing how yours turns out
@samatronn it's a fair enough point! Working on the bathroom next, might need your help 😅🧡
So many beautiful tiles to choose from. As someone who has a frameless, walk in shower, it is a great option and easy to clean. The only con is you need a great extraction fan otherwise the whole bathroom becomes a steamy, slippy mess.
I have a frameless walk-in shower too and it’s great! I agree, your extraction fan needs to be pretty good! What I would add, is, just make sure that you put in a small step down into the shower recess as, like you are wanting, our shower covers the entire back wall too, and if there isn’t a small step down, the whole bathroom will flood! 😂 Doesn’t have to be huge, ours is 1.5 cm I think 😊 Beautiful design xxx
Great choices! I’m also renovating at the moment, and made similar choices, large shower with no bathtub. Marble mosaics floor, microcement walls, some panelling. Do think about choosing a rimless toilet hard water is a pain to remove. I’m also setting up everything to convert it to japanese toilet later so electrics and plumbing and that is basically going yo be a toilet/bidet in one.
Ooh good thinking on installing the electrics for a future japanese toilet, why the hell not they are great 😅🧡
Smaller tiles (especially in the shower) means more grouting, which means over time more potential mould growth- we have redone our bathroom from those small tiles to big tiles and a big feature tile 120cm x 120cm in the middle of the shower. I’m very chuffed. Have fun with ideas- love the green, we went with ocean aqua colour.
Great to know this thanks for sharing more food for thught for us, as extra cleaning is not something we are keen to add to our plate 😅🧡
This was great! I’ve done a lot of renovating and always really appreciate being able to soak my sore back in a bathtub (mine was from Facebook Marketplace). Also, I have and love a bidet seat that attaches to my toilet, so YES to the “bum gun.”🤣
Haha all the time for a bum gun, pur plumber will be confused of the extra plumbing but it will work 😅😅🧡
Nice brass sink and toilet...................but he prices, YIKES!!! 😲
Haha well that is what doing all the work is for so we can afford the cool stuff right? 😅🧡
That was good! Bit different vid but ive never bothered mood boarding myself and actually might give it a try now. Keep up the work guys!
Ahh amazing, defo do give the moodboarding a go and let us know how you get on 🧡
That was fun ❤
Okay so after watching your mood board (LOVED this). I would say go with the green tumbled for floor and the green marble for wall. This will keep things more consistent which in a small space is key. The tumbled will help you not slip as well which I have had both and the difference in cleaning is negligible. Especially if you seal your tile.
As for the sink, unless you have a storage closet elsewhere, I'd go with the retrofitted furniture piece. Not having storage in a main bath is brutal. Been there, done that, no thank you.
When doing the paneling you can actually grab the cream and the green from one of your marble pieces so that once again it all flows.
I hope you keep doing the mood boards! It completely changed my thoughts on what you are doing.
If you don't personally care about baths, just stick with a big shower. Even if you do choose to have kids one day, they grow out of baths in a few years. I know people who put a paddling pool inside the shower area when their kids were small, problem solved!
Love this style of video in addition to your usuals. The green and the brass is such a beautiful combo 🤩😍I think if you don't want a bath, don't put one in! It's your home 💛But it IS smart to plumb the room for a bath no matter what. I can't wait to see your dream come to reality! Our former home had a tiny-tiny bathroom too: you had to close the door to even see the toilet. It was so nice to blow out some walls and get the space for a bigger washroom! Now I'm planning another bathroom renovation in our new-to-us home but I'm currently 7 months pregnant and my husband won't let me demolish anything... seems fair, for now.
the rough floor tiles will need sealing as any product/lotion spilt and the marble will absorb it and stain it. So you will need a sealer - now some can give a sheen - which you do not want - so you need to do samples as it could work out you pay way more for the same finish as just buying a normal tile with a sheen. Costly mistake many make. the cupboard used for the basin is edwardian. Lots 2nd hand and still quite cheap. Usually drawers (which you can seal off, so look like drawers, but dont open due to plumbing on the top level of drawers)
I love this video - I need to start mood boarding my new kitchen and bathroom and thank you for sharing your process!!
Good to see that you’re sticking to the shower idea! It doesn’t really make sense to me to install a bath because other people like it, but you never take baths.
The design looks amazing, I love the green. The rough tiles look good, but I’d make sure to research how they’ll look in 5 years
I LOVE milanote! I always use it for book planning, had no idea you could use it for things like this!
I lovveeeee your choices!! 😍 I'm sure you are all over it, but make sure you take the time to seal the legs of your timber vanity. You don't want the legs rotting prematurely with the exposure to water 😊 and I love all of your videos!
I know your bathroom will be beautiful! Excited for you! I think your picks are great!
Do not recommend natural stone in shower. Even if polished. Too hard to keep clean. Don’t do it!!!
I love your colour selections....yes to more texture in the floor and although I love the more honed look of the tiles for the shower, I think the porcelain mat be easier to clean....and the wooden beams and accents in your Pintrest thumbnail is so gorgeous....it really speaks modern Victorian ❤❤❤
I love the green with Brass! I’m looking into redoing my master bath . and you’ve just given some great ideas!!
Thank you !
I’m waiting for those bowl sinks to go out of style they are the worst! But that’s me, you have lovely taste. Bidets (washlets) and green tiles are fabulous!
from one Chris to another - i can see the pain in your eyes when 'Burlington' gets mentioned... them prices - ohhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooo my lord
PURPLE WALLS!!! THATS MY VOTE!!!
Haha there is always one, lilac/purple has never been a good look right?! 😅😅🧡
@@RestoringNumberFour i didnt think so until i saw your bathroom, im hooked.... hahhaa
I prefer your more hands on videos doing the DIY - good to see your vision for the bathroom 😊
Marble will need to be sealed regularly ? But love the look & texture under foot ❤
Walk-in shower all the way!!! Perhaps with the porcelain tiles - in a wet area easier to maintain ! Just use the best, mould proof etc etc grout you can, again to make easy to clean & maintain .
Can’t wait to see 😍😍😍
There is more maintenance on the marble, but it's just so beautiful I'm not sure I can say no! Great points about the grout too, so much to consider. Thanks for sharing Kylie!
I love polished brass it will age beautifully don’t bother to age it. Storage between studs in the shower for shampoo etc of course, I like a niche to put my foot up in for shaving. Love the honed marble, love the green marble also love the shorter rectangle marble not sure if that was really a thing but think that the long thin rectangles laid on the skinny end are a bit trendy not timeless though it is pretty ;). The tub is not needed I washed kids in the kitchen sink when they were babies and and littles can take showers, plop them on their bums. Could you put high shelves or cabinets for storage?
Loads of great things to consider here, I love the idea of niches for various uses! thanks for sharing, I can't wait to implement all these into the design!
You alright Paloma? You sound extra tired in this video. Really brought out extra vocal fry.
Also I will say installing plumbing suitable for a bath is an excellent way of future-proofing the place. No point installing a bath if you don't need it, but the plumbing is the hard part.
Haha I was feeling a bit run down that day, good eye you have! Im better now! I think it'll be a good idea too, means that space is adaptable without needing to pull out everything!
We put a pedestal sink in our small bathroom and I really miss the under sink storage. There is only so much you can put in the cabinet over the sink.
Ahh this is what I was afraid of! They just looks so pretty, but I don't think we can afford to lose that storage space!
@@RestoringNumberFour and, no counter space 😯
🙂👏☺
I think you’ll find that’s your bathroom - not your bedroom! 😊
Changed! Sorry about that 😅
Love your videos by the way! 😊
Aww thank you! We really appreciate it! 🧡 anything you'd like to see more of?
@@RestoringNumberFourYou are doing so much already! How much more could you show?! Just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s fab!
2 things, definitely don't put the shower temperature & on/off control under the shower and don't have a sliding door for the shower
In wall toilet tanks are more popular across Europe.
Would you go with that option as well?
@@RestoringNumberFour
I bought one and am waiting to have it installed. I live in Maine, USA where the water condenses on the toilet tank. Getting the tank into the wall frees up floor space and stops the dripping off the tank. It was a little bit more expensive but I can have a recessed cabinet or shelf also in the wall.
