    For the Manhatten Loft I would add The AntFarm's Killzone bathroom but re-texture that. Even just put the tub out in the open... middle of the living room area. Or a more recent Themed3D bathroom in a corner of the loft. Bluebird's loft even. Search bath, bathroom gets lots of nice results for the fixtures. http://www.daz3d.com/killzones-the-bath

     

    I would love to do a retexture of that - I use it a lot but only in shabby environments. A neat and clean version would be very good to have. Only problem is that I have no idea where to start with texturing and I can't afford the likes of the Allegorithmic suite. 

    Very lkely just hitting it with some new "clean" shaders would do it. Ant Farm's around the forum (iirc)...you could pm them.

    I'd hit it with shaders too. It is isn't a very swanky bathroom, the mirror is still cracked, and no toilet, but it no longer looks like a crime scene. cheeky  AntFarm typically does really good material zones, so no worries there. I used my freebie shader set that I put up at ShareCG, and used some of the Daz Iray Uber shaders for the metal bits and shower curtain. http://www.sharecg.com/v/86801/browse/21/DAZ-Studio/DG-Backdrop-and-Shader-Presets-for-Daz-Studio

    I dropped in one of InaneGlory's ceiling lights, and there we are.

    Impressive - I'll give your shaders a try. Thank you.

    EDIT: As a matter of interest, what did you use for the water in the bath?

    I didn't touch the water actually. It still had its original 3Delight shader on it when I rendered it in Iray.

    Looking at the promo images, it seems that the large empty room opposite the kitchen would be ideal for a luxury bath; add a door to the opening and go wild with the interior.

    Downloaded your shaders. Thank you. I did something different just changing the jpgs in the folder and turned out nice a couple of years ago (NSFW). Yours will give me other options and I really appreciate that.

    The old Props Club collection on RDNA had a couple of sets that included old fashioned bathroom fixtures. One included a fairly classic washstand and the sort of toilet with the overhead cistern with the pull chain. I think there was a clawfoot tub as well, but it was in a different package, I think. 

    Can't for the life of me remember what they were called though. Probably not Props Club, although that turned up in the library subfolders. It was in the Deep Freeze collection and may not have made the migration. Which would be a pity, because it was far more likely to be used by someone than yet another dress or character of a gen4 or older figure.

    Found it. It seems to show up in the content list (Poser content, of course) as DNA Bed'n'Bath or words to that effect. There were 3 or 4 packages to the whole set, which was both bed and bathroom furn/fixtures.

    I also wonder about the apartment/Living Room that doesn't have a place to put a TV.

    I have a number of apartment type products that do include the bathroom and more but they don't come from here..  Two that I do have both look really good and both have two bathrooms..  I would name them but they are not from here..

    http://www.daz3d.com/west-park-ablutions has a pot to picine that reminds me of the scene from The Godfather. I used this one for The AntFarm Killzone bathroom and also one of Jack Tomalin's radiators from his school.

    If ther mirror is it's own surface, I'd just turn it off, and stick a plane or a really flat 3d rectangle there.

    I love Ironman's Stylish Apartment and had it in my Wishlist, but I took it out because she forgot to add three very important elements in an apartment: bathroom, entrance door, and kitchen. It's just a living room and bed alcove. It's so cute, but my poor occupant would have a little problem living there.

    Bathroom humor aside, I think it's almost better to add your fixtures` from sets that provide various props. As noted bathrooms tend to be culture/country specific. I've seen lots of renders where the toilets and sinks etc. are very European. That's okay if a scene is in Europe, but takes away the realism if it's supposed to be NYC. For example, in the UK a separate faucet for hot and cold is common, though not universal; it's the opposite in the US. It has to do with not using cisterns for the hot water.

    It depends on where you live in the US.  There are still some old houses that have separate hot and cold water in some rural areas.  I've even seen a few newer homes that have separate taps.  Personally, not my preference as I hate using them.  I love my taps that mix the hot and cold water together.  :)

    There is also a difference between whether it's kitchen or bathroom (or service porch). Kitchens tend to have mixer faucets, with separate taps, even all the way back to quite early in the 20th century. As of the 1920s, typicaly, baths and showers have separate taps with a shared faucet.  Washbasins still usually have separte faucets. Wash tubs always do.

    This is true.  My uncles's house has the faucet in the kitchen as a single tap, been that way since I can remember as a kid.  The bathroom has double taps with hot and cold separate on both the sink and the old claw foot tub in there.  I'm not sure when the house was built, but my grandfather bought it when he was first married so it predates the early 1940s in the mountains of West Virginia.
