I’ve found it! The pinnacle of 1970s “chic”

The carpet, the jacuzzi, the steps, the mirrors above the bed… and I’d put money on that being a waterbed! Glorious.

I just legitimately love it and I'm sorry about my awful taste

Honestly put a door in front of the shitter and pull the carpet away from the tub a bit, and I'd take it in a heartbeat.

Fringes curtain for the toilets help with ventilation I suppose.
Also I am a big fan of the mirrors above the bed. Kinky and I can't wait to catch movement at the corner of my eyes while falling asleep, I will spook myself with it.

MrFagtron9000@lemmy.world · 65 pts · 2y (6 replies)

Is there anything more disgusting than carpeted areas around a tub or toilet?

Like what the fuck were they thinking?

All of the other 70s and '80s trends - like the really dark wood paneling, ugly orange colors, that's just aesthetics. Maybe we'll go back to liking wood paneling at some point.

Carpet in a bathroom is not aesthetics or fashion It is fucking disgusting and unsanitary.

geekworking@lemmy.world · 31 pts · 2y

Dark wood paneling and orange were popular because they hid the tar stains from everybody chain smoking indoors.

FatLegTed@feddit.uk · 6 pts · 2y

Nothing wrong with dark wood panelling.

captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

The 80's weren't afraid to be bold. I've seen a 1980's bathroom fixture catalog that featured onyx black toilets and sinks.

But yes carpet in a bathroom can impale itself right on Satan's penis.

Wait, are you telling me you would not rock this? I mean change the mattress first of course, maybe a good disinfection everywhere else.

Oh and rip out the carpet around the toilet, because that is a crime.

SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk · 30 pts · 2y (3 replies)

In addition to those changes, I’m adding an actual door the toilet rather than that fringing or whatever it is. I’m ditching the mirrors on the ceiling, getting rid of those steps up to the bed and replacing it with a normal bed frame. I genuinely don’t know what I’d do with the jacuzzi… I do love a hot bath but I don’t love the idea of that much humidity in my bedroom. Maybe partition it off with the toilet and make it a proper en suite?

I think all I really like is the size of the room and maybe the natural light - it’s a bit hard to tell from this angle.

Add a door to the toilets while you are at it. It looks like the carpet was recently cleaned if I am not mistaken, good thing.

M0oP0o@mander.xyz · 9 pts · 2y (2 replies)

As someone who had a carpeted bathroom as a child, it will never be clean in that area around the toilet. I don't think a door is really needed though as this seems like the whole area is meant as a private sanctum.

You’re down with the carpeted toilet with just a fringe curtain instead of a door?

Cethin@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 2y

Sorry, yeah. The carpet in that whole back corner needs to go. The curtain doesn't bother me much, but it does look stupid. It either needs to be a solid curtain, no curtain, or a door. The beads are just implying it should be private whole providing no privacy. It's stupid. Presumably you'd be having sex with the person(s) you're sharing this room with, in which case I don't think privacy is really required, but a door probably would be good if anything particularly smelly happens.

Depends on how much space is there, everyone can place their stuff where he or she wants them around the sink.

Bonus: Everyones' dirt is their own. His beard stubbles are never in her sink, and whatever she combed out of her hair does not clog his.

poweruser@lemmy.sdf.org · 2 pts · 2y

My old canopy bed had them. It was kind of cool but that frame was ridiculously impractical so it didn't make it in my last move.

I never understood why everyone thought it was a sex thing. I just found it useful to spot the cat lurking in the room, so I didn't have to sit up to check on what I thought I saw moving.

What is much more of a sex thing is a mirror in the headboard (which that bed also had lol), or near the foot of the bed, so you can make eye contact

Neato@kbin.social · 8 pts · 2y

Imagine walking up to the bed. You are at the top step, 3" from the surface of the bed. Instead of the bed being at knee to butt height, it's at ankle height. You now essentially need to sit down on the ground to get into bed. The strain on the knees would suck. Or you forget how many steps in the dark and trip on the last step and fall your full height.
