I need some bathroom inspiration please!
Our ensuite bathroom was last fitted 1987 by the previous owner and is in desperate need of replacing. It is HIDEOUS. We have already ripped the shower out as it was broken.
The bathroom is about 2.70 m x 1.80 m, so a reasonable size. I quite like the idea of having the bath in our ensuite then just having a walk in shower in the main bathroom, but DH is not keen. He is up for having something a little different though, as he rather liked some red sparkly tiles we saw!
Please post photos of your bathrooms and inspire me.

Generally one would put a communal bath in the bathroom, and a shower in the en suite. I would consider it odd the other way around.2

We have both a bath and a shower in our en-suite. When we moved in there was no bath in the house, and our en-suite was the only place we could (relatively) easily fit one at the time. The room is only 1.5m wide but about 4m long with the door on the long wall, so we fitted a freestanding bath at an angle
to the right of the door, sink in front of the door, toilet to the left and the wall in shower occupies the wall at the left end.
If we were only able to have one or the other, I would go for a walk in shower in the en-suite over the bath. I have a shower every morning, but a bath is a longer and more luxurious process!1 -
Done my bathroom last month, went for panels as I really don’t like tiles
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'4 -
@travis-powers - are the panels made to measure then just attach to the wall? They look like a fab idea!
Ideally I would have a bath AND a walk in shower, as our ensuite is bigger than the main bathroom, as we could then just put a walk in shower into the other bathroom. The main bathroom the same 1980s decor.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')

No you cut them to size really easy to fit with grab adhesive and it worked out cheaper than tiles!Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene.'1

Our current bathroom which we fitted ourselves last year doesn't have a shower as that will go elsewhere - although there's actually plenty of space for one. It's quite eclectic as that's what we like!
The sanitary ware is a mix of Sottini, Chatsworth (vintage, no longer available) and Clearwater, whilst the taps are from Utopia and the vanity is a vintage piece of furniture. Tiles from YourTiles. Here are some pics (apologies for the quality of the last one 🙄)......
