No 30 is my favourite! What gorgeous use of assymetric placement of both the tiled accent wall and lighting.
All r nice designs by designers.
Usually I would not comment but for Bath Room designs enough is enough.
I have always been of the opinion that sitting on the loo or even doing ones bit on a bidet is a very private matter. So, I ask myself why do so many people accept these items in the general bathroom without any separation, it does not have to be a door (even so that is nice) but a little hidden away behind a wall (half-walll) and not in plain sight from the entry door to the bath is the bare minimum.
Would it not be much in the hands of the "designer" to point out shortcomings?
