Okay we are building our dream home - just finalising the plans at present. Our ensuite is huge - around the same size as a normal bathroom and has a freestanding bath in the centre of the room. Now there is a blank wall facing the bath - would it look really tacky to install a fireplace of some type? Every now and then you see it on a lifestyle show from the UK / US and I always think how cool - but really would it be considered too over the top?
Would be looking at one of those ultra modern ones with the stainless surrounds / possibly the pebble fires - although have been investigating a fully electric one as they do not need any flues whatsoever.
