Thank you! #7 is a massive winner! We live in the mountains and winters get COLD. We are doing new construction and I made my husband listen to this. No more freezing my tail off waiting for the water to get hot. Plus the shower size/cold corners makes perfect sense.

Thank you thank you thank you for pointing out the contradiction of building beautiful accent shower niches which will be filled with 8 bottles of partially used shampoos, conditioners, multi-flavored body wash, and one bottle nobody's sure about. Wish you'd shown a pic of a hidden niche -- I've seen a couple on YouTube bathroom remodels and think they're great. I moved the shower valves away from the shower heads as you mention but spent forever trying to layout the shower controls so they didn't look random. Wish I'd seen your video earlier to think a bit more about lighting and electrical, but I still have time to address the basics. One thing you didn't mention is the issue of sound control to adjacent rooms -- my bathroom shares a wall with the living room, and you REALLY want soundproofing between those two. Unfortunately that means not using the in-wall space for more storage (need the space for sound insulation and lots of it), but there are 3 other walls for that. Thanks for a no-nonsense approach to building spaces that make life better.

Whenever I see a large shower, I always wonder how long it takes to clean the blasted thing. It might look pretty in the picture, but that's of little comfort when it takes 20 or 30 minutes to clean it.

I have two niche cubbies in my shower. I don’t even use them. I’ve been in this house for a year and four months. We are getting ready to remodel this bathroom and that would be the second thing we take out the first thing the tile

Question no one talks about materials that are easy to take care of placing in the bathroom for example no white grout it never stays clean. Glass shower are even more troublesome to keep clean. Any suggestions?

#7....BRILLIANT!
What are your thoughts about the tubs, and wall mount toilets/bidets INSIDE a walk in shower (a walk in shower which obviously is on the larger side)?
I know it sounds crazy, but they have them more than you'd think in Europe and with removable shower heads, it makes cleaning and sanitizing the toilet and the area around it beyond convenient.
It's weird, but does actually make sense....kind of?

The face thing. Hubby has one. First time I saw it, I was disgusted because I thought it was something naughty, but i didn't say anything. I was resentful because he wasn't sharing in the fun with me. Then I saw him using it and I was like, oh, that's what it's for. Let's have brunch.
