yakult 3 Report post Posted October 19, 2015 i agree with u that the bathroom 3D looks a bit out & old as compared to the rest of the 3D (which looks great!). Also, you may want to do hanging cabinets to prevent water damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have a drawing of yours?No but it's gonna be very simple and templatey... Only cus I only have a vanity in the guest bathroom and I only ordered a normal square sink with a standard looking Hansgrohe tap But mine is suspended with tempered glass top instead of solid top.

Gave a warm fuzzy feel~~~We initially wanted to customize MBR toilet vanity cabinet with quartz top... but the price quoted to us is too ex... so just gonna buy off-the-shelf haha.

Just buy extendable portable racks that go in shelf areas to maximize space. So this is extra! Honestly, hubby and I don't have much things.. I sacrificed vanity for a bathtub for my MBR toilet... So I just have a hanging sink. With the storeroom space available we are already quite well set! Haha. So don't rly need that much storage for bathrooms...We do have glass shelves and stainless steel towel racks though. Hha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bykaraanne 30 Report post Posted October 19, 2015 Can I ask how come drawers are not recommended?If and when your pipes leak (over time or bad installation), hard to spot or even notice. By the time u notice maybe alre quite soaked.I think that's what he told me la. He just say best to have open shelves there and he's always been right when it comes to practicality so I just follow lor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ifp 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2015 our kitchen design is gorgeous! can't wait to see them come to live!So I've finally received the 2nd drafts including the master bathroom carpentry's first draft. I think they've more or less captured what I want for the rest of the pictures but something's just not right about the bathroom carpentry. Somehow, it just doesn't look like it fits in with the scandi theme? I think it's probably a little orbiang (old fashioned)? Please tell me I'm not the only one that thinks it needs work??The other photos for your viewing pleasure!Think the drafter's forgot we wanted the full length one instead... but this looks pretty too~ Decisions decisions... Seeing the IKEA PS 2014 ladder shelf I bought to store my vanity stuff makes me think my decision to go with it was the right one!!XOXO, Sapphira Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OceanEleven 203 Report post Posted October 19, 2015 Can I ask how come drawers are not recommended?Actually the main reason is the carpentry work. There is a discharge pipe from sink that goes straight down to floor.This hinders the construction of drawers. Then with water pipes, it is always better to leave an open space around for inspection or future replacement.Same goes with the kitchen sink and hob.

Please tell me I'm not the only one that thinks it needs work??Colour wise is kinda dark but you can simply just change the laminate.Main issue here, as mentioned by others, the cabinet must be wall hung and not sit on the floor. Cater for future washing and splashing.Round sink is nice but rectangle types fit well too.The benefit of rectangle sink is that the tap can be mounted on the sink, so any dripping will be into the sink and not around.Also less "blind spot" area to clean. eg behind the sinkAlso, if you shop around, the "sit on sink" tap is always cheaper than the "tall" tap base on same design. Diff can be as much as $50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
