What do you get for 10,000 euros?

Do you prefer standard furniture or do you prefer customization? In short: you can make the bathroom as expensive as you like.”

“The shower cubicle is then equipped with a large overhead sprayer, but also a normal hand sprayer. The faucet is of course thermostatic. You also have accessories, such as a shelf to place shower gel and shampoo. As a shower, you choose a built-in model in acrylic, again with a thermostatic faucet, a rod, maybe even bathing area.

Our 10,000 euro bathroom is definitely easy to maintain.
