It’s been so long since I took the time to write one of my more diary style posts (and yes I just triple checked I hadn’t said dairy) so why don’t you grab a cuppa, tea or coffee the choice is yours, and come have a catch up with everything?

Back again! I’ve been having so much fun with these posts, to the point that I’ve struggled to write any other posts recently. Bringing you up to date, I mentioned in The Cost of Being a Student that I am planning to live alone for the next academic year. The flat hunt was crazy hectic towards the end of exams and then there was only one week here in Glasgow before I jumped back on the boat to Northern Ireland for some work experience and a new job! But more on that maybe later in the week.

 

After a week or so of flat hunting, I found myself dreaming of My Ideal Student Home and what it would look like. If you’ve missed the previous posts, I’ve so far designed My Dream Kitchen, My Dream Living Room, and My Dream Spare Room. I don’t even want to think about how much hypothetical money I have spent on this! But today we’re getting on with the penultimate room – the bathroom. Out of curiosity, should I write the plan of the hallway’s decoration? Or are you excited for me to stop writing these posts? Let me know below!

 

However, before I can stop, I’m excited to do these two or three rooms, and I’ll probably draw out the entire house/flat and put that in the final post. So onwards with the bathroom!

 

The last couple of posts, I’ve gone and stated my colour scheme first, however there is one item I need in my dream bathroom and I was just too excited to sort anything else before I found my paint, tiles, and floors. Can you guess what that is?

 

I have been dreaming of a bath every day since I got back to Glasgow for the exam season. The idea of soaking in a relaxing bathtub has me pining to be back home again already. That’s why I just had to pick my bath first. As Meredith Grey once said, “I just want a tub that is deep enough to cover my boobs and knees at the same time”! So I was immediately drawn to this bath from The Whirlpool Bathshop. I’ve always dreamt of having a whirlpool bathtub, and with this one being two meters long, I’d like to think it would be perfect to lie down in! It can also be customised to have more jets added, or mood lighting added too!

 

Doesn’t that just sound incredible? I would love to just soak for hours on end in there. Does this mean I have to figure out my colour scheme now? Okay, I won’t complain!

 

I couldn’t figure out if the surround was brown or black, but I’d like to opt for a white surround. There’s just something about a white bathroom that makes me happy. To go with it, I would opt for the Attingham Seagrass Tiles from Tops Tiles, and then I would go stereotypical blogger with your white marble floor tiles. One thing I would definitely have though is some under floor heating system going on. It may only be a student home but even students deserve warm feet!

 

With this colour scheme in mind, I’m tempted by a nautical theme in the bathroom… but while a bath is the most important part of a bathroom, I should probably put in a few other items.

 

I’ve always dreamt of a large, walk in shower, and so when I saw this one on B&Q’s website, I fell in love with it immediately! And while I appreciate it’s meant to be a single occupancy dream student flat, I loved the idea of the Titron Sirona high pressure ceiling fed chrome Thermostatic Digital Mixer Shower head thing (costing £452). The idea of a digitally controlled shower fascinates me – you can turn it on from an app on your phone to let it warm up, you can set the temperature, and even turn it off if a guest has taken too long in the shower and is using all your hot water! You can find it here.

I’m not overly concerned about what my toilet would actually be like, but I was browsing because I did want to do this post properly, and when I saw this I loved it. As a child, I always thought I would have one of those novelty toilet seats but now that I’m thinking about it I probably wouldn’t have one. To match, I would probably have the sink unit below too. Again, both have come from the B&Q website.

 

So now that all the practical stuff in the bathroom is covered, I can get to the fun part of decorating a bathroom! Before I go any further though I did want to ask – do you match your towels to your bathroom or to your bedroom? Because that’s the current decision I have to make, do I colour co-ordinate the bathroom or have a specific colour for different bedrooms?

 

I think I’ll match them to the bathroom. That way, I can hang them on those towel drying heater things and they won’t clash. Oh, did I not mention I’d put one of those in as well as the underfloor heating? Sorry! I just feel it would be great to have them!

 

I love this bathmat from House of Fraser, and it would go perfectly in this bathroom. I’d probably own 4 (2 for the bath and 2 for the shower) so that I could wash one without worrying that there’s no mat there for the next shower or bath.

To match the mats, I would get these 2 different sets of towels. I love having the massive bath sheets but I want to get the other sizes too so I can set them as a nice bundle on the beds. The ones on the left are from Dunelm, and the ones on the right are from

 

And to save you reading more of my ramblings, I’ve created a collage of the final accessories I would have in the bathroom. Descriptions top to bottom, left to right.

 

 

What would your dream bathroom look like? Do you like mine?

 

Hello! I’ve finally got writing about my trip to Leeds with Jordanne a few weeks ago!
