That "ledge that doesn't serve any purpose" holds your toilet's water tank and the toilet's waste pipe... So yes, it has a very important purpose! Even though I renovated my bathroom 20 years ago I have the same situation. It's very common with wall-hung toilets; you have to put the tank somewhere and since they usually back onto a brick wall the only way to do it is to build out, and that creates a ledge. (rijwoning built in '52 so we have the same kind of construction) Your end result looks great!!!

@angelanice 6 месяцев назад

I have an idea that could help visually "fill" the space without creating any clutter. You could paint the horizontal tiles a contrasting color so it gives the effect of a countertop and helps break up all the white. I love how it looks regardless, just thought I'd mention that in case you like the idea! ❤

@sofiaoutandabout 6 месяцев назад

The final decor touches really made it come together! It's clean and functional, but also looks lived in. As someone who lived her entire life with those types of bidet though, I have to say - keep it! It's a boon to be able to comfortably and quickly clean yourself, especially post-partum! Intimate hygiene after giving birth can be difficult, and the ability to just sit down and clean yourself with warm running water is so much more comfortable and easier!

@Loepsie 6 месяцев назад

I can imagine it'll be quite useful then! 😄 I'd sometimes use it on my period, too.

@ElizabethChronis 6 месяцев назад

We have a bidet toilet seat … it’s the best for postpartum care & period cleanup. I used to take 3-4 showers a day on my period because I don’t like the felling of dried blood, now I don’t have to. Is it awkward to move from one seat to the other to use the bidet? I love the convenience of having it right on my toilet seat.

@Bkate23 6 месяцев назад

@@ElizabethChronis I like being separate, because in the end of the day it is another sink, with the only difference that is low and in the shape of a toilet. So if it is separate you can wash your feet or whatever in it, while if it is on the toilet not.

@sofiaoutandabout 6 месяцев назад

@@ElizabethChronis the advantage of this type is that you can straddle it very comfortably (you sit facing the tap). The position gives you a lot of space to reach and clean, it's great. And, of course, it's more practical for reaching for soap and has the advantage of having warm water like any other regular tap. To move from the toilet to the bidet you just have to pivot on one foot. You don't even have to take your pants off, just leave them by your ankles!

@sylvia_golightly 6 месяцев назад

As someone who just had my second baby 2 weeks ago. I came here to say exactly this! Having a bidet will be incredibly useful postpartum. This and some Always Discreet adult diapers. Trust me!

@No-gb1vh 6 месяцев назад

Mabye a weird idea? But use the bidet for your kid. As a baby to wash them and later when theyre a bit older as their own personal sink maybe? I wouldve loved that as a kid

@binkybombastic6200 6 месяцев назад

That’s actually a good idea! Although I must say I wouldn’t know what to do without a bathtub because my kids HATE showering..

@ginadelfina5887 6 месяцев назад

So great - I was just hoping you would embrace those really cool colored fixtures, rather than replacing them with plain ones. What I have learned is that, sometimes when you are forced to make do with what you have, features that you didn’t love can actually wind up growing on you. I think the mirror cabinet is a great solution, and I actually think the tile around the sink is pretty and unique, despite being a bit inconvenient.

@-ParisTexas- 6 месяцев назад

I'm guessing both ledges (but at least the one behind the toilet) hides the plumbing! You could spray paint the hardware. Except for the taps probably. Or try marktplaats to replace them. Easy fix! It looks a lot better. Maybe a blind and perhaps a radiator cover would also really make a difference.

@Jip-en-Janne 6 месяцев назад

Okey hear me out. Paint the ceiling and the stripe in the tile pink. I think that would make the whole space look so much more intensional and “modern vintage”. Plus the blush pink is light enough to not make the space much darker

@Loepsie 6 месяцев назад

Oooooh, intriguing! 🤔

@jenniferr2033 6 месяцев назад

Pleeease dont ditch the bidet. If you try it out for a prolonged period of time you will not want to go back. It is a new and very well needed feeling of being clean. Please dont judge it

@aeolia80 6 месяцев назад

ah! I'm not too fond of bidets like that, but..... hear me out....... you'll want it after you have your baby, because if you have a vaginal birth bidets like that will come in handy since you won't be able to use toilet paper to clean yourself, especially if you've ripped or had an episiotomy and have stitches down there. Also since there is a plug in that bidet, you can easily do a sitz bath in it, which will help in healing your perineum.

@MinaDracula 6 месяцев назад

Haha, this mirror cabinet is just taking things to a whole new level 😂 I get that the doors are mirrored but why is everything else? 😂😂 it looks like twice as many products because they are all mirrored. So confusing 😅 but i love everything else 😁 great job

@fictionalhuman 6 месяцев назад

It looks so fresh in there now! What a big difference for such simple changes. Also, hear me out. I know you said culturally you don’t use a bidet, but they are amazing when you have a newborn baby. I would have *loved* to be able to wash off all those diaper blowouts in a bidet dedicated to the baby. Just something to keep in mind for future if you want to give it a try!

@littlefuckingPanda 6 месяцев назад

The Bathroom looks sooo sweet! With a baby on the way, the bidet could be very useful, just a thought! But it’s also nice to get space back which you actually will use :))

@rachmuffins7 6 месяцев назад

You mentioned it feeling a little bare, and I agree! I think it just needs a bit more color. There is so much white everywhere. Painting the door a nice rich natural green, or maybe sage would warm it up and make it feel a bit cozier. I wish like the above comment about painting the tile ledges!

@IndigoMoon922 6 месяцев назад

You should be able to quite easily remove the bidet and “mask” the holes and you would have room for a changing table for baby ❤ I’m in the US and we added a bidet attachment to our toilet- best thing ever!! Especially after giving birth!

@LuoPtt 5 месяцев назад

So cute! You could totally remove and spray paint the metal pieces in the bathroom, it would give them a cute more updated vintage look. Cheers! ❤

@cris_possible 6 месяцев назад

Maybe you can try and dye the bathmats to fit better the color scheme? I completely agree with you when you said you needed to use the renovated bathroom to get used to it and see what works best for you and what not, renovations are always a work in progress!

@agsuvongiest 6 месяцев назад

I painted my bathmat with a paint for textiles because I couldn't find a right color in the shape that fits the best (wich is round). My mat was non-fluffy off-white cotton when I bought it and painted it with black.

@Jujuc15 6 месяцев назад

@ninaasf-ck 6 месяцев назад

Maybe bamboo mats on the floor? Or a color? The place looks good, it just needs some warming up and I think the floor might be the easiest way to accomplish that.

@janusquiamco7128 6 месяцев назад

You made great choices considering the constraints. Personally, i don‘t like putting storage units over the toilet because i‘m paranoid about stuff dropping into the toilet. I‘m especially paranoid about that bidet, even if it‘s unused. Is there a cover you can install on it? Anyway, i hope you get your dream bathroom someday. I look forward to that makeover.

@Melbeatle 6 месяцев назад

I'd put the cotton pads, qtips and all that decoration, where you put the candle and matches, and those, where the qtips, and cotton pads/soaps are. Because candle... perfume... toilet... you know haha. And then cotton pads and qtips where the candle is, so you can have them close, when you use skincare, or get out of the shower, etc, as you'll be doing your routin in front of the sink. I don't know if i'm making any sense, but yeah hahaha, I love how it looks like!!! And bidets are GREAT! I'm from south america, we use them... they're amazing, very quick and easy to use, and help a lot to avoid irritation from using only toilet paper or baby wipes and so on :P Give it a chance!! haha

@mjlSews 6 месяцев назад

@suspicioususpectlisa 5 месяцев назад

If you do want to have the bidet removed you could already do so and top off the water pipes (but let someone do it with plumbing experience/a plumber), will make the room more spacious for example, especially if you anoyed by the area the bidet takes up. But you will I think see where the pipes are topped off so that might also not be that desirable. But could be something to think about.

@rosymelanie 6 месяцев назад

@CrownedLily 6 месяцев назад

As an American I'm not accustom to bidets as well. I would want a bathtub too. Currently in the process of buying a home - so close to closing!! And I was so glad to see it had a shower/tub combo. The pervious house we looked at only had a walk in.

@SweGraystone 6 месяцев назад

Did you use silicone in the drilled holes? In sweden your insurance will not be valid if you have a water damage because of broke water barrier back of the tiles.

@bunhelsingslegacy3549 6 месяцев назад

Nice job! I was going to suggest dyeing the bath mats... but then again I've got dark purple bath mats pretty much lining my whole washroom floor because I hate bare feet on cold flooring. If you wanted to spice things up, stencilling some designs in a contrasting colour with paint on top of some of the tiles could really change things up, and if you hate it, it would scrape off with a little paint remover.

@624bea 6 месяцев назад

I would put all the daily products in a small basket for the closed cabinet so you can pull it out one thing to get ready and quickly put it away.

@carnifaxx 6 месяцев назад

I would probably hire someone to get rid of the bidet and temporarily "blind" the holes of it and use any spare tiles to cover it... and then build a storage over that area, so there wouldn't be anything hanging above the toilet, that's just terrifying, even though I rationally know it's safe :D

You could cover the new mirrored cabinet with a light wood look or mauve contact paper (vinyl), so the space isn’t like a house of mirrors bouncing reflections everywhere. Could do the same treatment to the tall side cabinet for a cohesive look. It is much improved already.
