Bath in the bedroom

lottie176

I used to have a friend who's parents had a bath in their bedroom. Hated it! Seemed so odd back then to have it there and would even now years later tell people about the wierd parents with a bath in their bedroom. It just didn't go and no matter how much I loved the rest of the house that would really put me off buying or I'd have to budget/haggle on price to remove it!!

think its a really strange idea tbh..I would consider making alterations to your existing en suite so that you could get a bath in there

I have to say I'm struggling to see any appeal in this idea.

I think it would be a big no no from the point of view of resale as it would put off a lot of people. However, I'm a great believer in doing what you want in your own house and if it suits you do it. Just be prepared to change it when you come to sell.

I could possibly see this working in a very large house and in a very large bedroom (say 25-30 feet square) but not in anything 'ordinary'.

How does the other half sleep in, when you want to run the taps for a long soak..?

How can you tell it isn't a bed in a bathroom rather than a bath in a bedroom?
When I grew up we had a bath in the kitchen but that was because we had no bathroom.

No It would really put me off. Ensuites are ok but I'm not that desparate for a bath. I only ever have showers.

Hotels do it for a reason. They want to add "Luxury" experiences for increased revenue while maximising the use of limited space. But not many people live in a hotel.

Sigh:D my idea of blissful heaven. I could roll out of bed and straight into a bath of bubbles. I am not even going to consider the practicalities!

I must admit that my first impression was that the main idea of the bath in the bedroom was not for bathing... And if you did that, there'd be water everywhere, so not very practical. It's a bit like putting in a mirror over the bed, ie not to everyone's liking and likely to reduce saleability of the house.

Although hopefully it is easier to remove a mirror than a bath....

You could always just use a plastic pool and fill it with warm water. Also easier to pack away when you dont need it.

Our ensuite has no door it is ventillated by a fan system and we have no problems with damp, condesation or smells. DH did make it possible to put a door on if we ever sold the house as some people prefer a locking bathroom door.
