Renovation of two bathrooms, what do you think of the current state of the planning?

You’re probably asking the wrong person :D I personally see the guest WC as the room where you can dare to use color, possibly even extraordinary, if not outright "exotic" :) The floor in a small room should be the same as the lower tiles; this makes it appear more spacious because the tiles continue from the floor up the wall and thus the small floor area is not emphasized. The sanitary fixtures in white then stand out more expressively. If you have a penchant for the exotic, the room could also be designed accordingly. Dark red... olive... On second thought, I see too many materials used: I see mosaic, shower tiles, parquet, the mint-colored stud wall, wooden table. One wood too many, one tile too many. It looks mismatched. How about floor tiles that continue into the shower and up the wall, combined with a bold glass mosaic for the stud wall? Or the same tiles for floor and stud wall, with the entire shower as an accent? Check out Houzz ;) Regards, Yvonne

My wife is eyeing a Raindance shower head.... Really crazy what prices are being asked for them.... 1500 euros is far from the ceiling..... And that's just for a shower head....
[emoji5]️

So we have the Raindance 360 from HG (surface-mounted version). With the Ecostat Select mixer it costs about 700.- We are very satisfied with it. There is also the 420 version (that's always the width).
Only the head (concealed) costs, I believe, between 300 and 400 euros...

We also had the "courage" and do not regret it in the slightest, I’m just saying Louis and Ella by Steuler :-p

I don't have a photo on hand right now, but I can top that.
Family bathroom: fixtures were black/purple/mint... a dream of the 90s
Shower bathroom: completely kept in mint

Really, awful who came up with something like that.

OT:
Just wait 10-20 years to see what will be said about anthracite windows, walk-in showers, extravagant rain showers, gabions and steel mesh fences, vinyl, high-gloss kitchen islands, and large-format tiles.
Trends are just trends, and sometimes you have to ask yourself what you were thinking back then.

that is all correct! Although many of your examples are more like trends. For example the windows: even earlier people installed windows in different colors (maybe not the standard white/anthracite). But with the rest... I do agree with you. And while reading, I realize how good it is that we don’t chase every "trend".

Of course, there have already been differently colored windows. But when you take the dark windows, along with the dark accent colors in the base area and between the floor windows, the matching anthracite steel mesh fence, perhaps the slotted light bands and/or floor-to-ceiling windows, paired with the simple basic shapes nowadays. Also keep in mind that the rest is white plastered and won't stay beautifully white forever. You can easily believe that the next generation stands in front of such a house and recognizes nothing but a dark, boring bunker. Right now, however, people find it "clean" and modern.

By the way, we actually avoid many of the mentioned points. Some things just look nice, but you don't know if they are practical. We have a lot of experience with rental properties and have already been able to try out many things, so your chances for huge tiles and walk-in showers with us are very, very slim :) We’ve also had a glossy kitchen and it failed, a cooking island at friends' place (expensive, takes up a lot of space, and doesn’t have the hoped-for function (view into the living room, extraction problem unresolved or very expensive and then still only a crutch). But we really went all in with the white plaster facade, light gray windows ;) and a cube with a flat roof. What can you do :-)
