You may be right about that. I just figured my own design from what I have seen at my customer's homes and going to a lot of showrooms. Looking at pictures online never gave me details. I learned about epoxy grout from a newsgroup. I got my tiles from a manufacturers warehouse at wholesale because I'm a contractor. The plumbling supply gave me a little bit of a discount on my Kohler valves. I saw corner shelves at a customer's house and had some made up at the marble and granite place. On one shelf I requested that holes be made for toothbrushes and a razor. Apparently no one requested that before, but they did it and I love it. I had my vanity semicustom made with the sink off to the left so I could have drawers on the right side. One drawer I had them make extra deep for tall bottles of shampoo and such. One thing I have not purchased yet is a Toto toilet with the bidet toilet seat. With me form follows function.
If you really need help with designing I would tap some women friends with good taste and also run an ad at some art schools. Going to a lot of showrooms and picking the brains of salespeople helps a lot.
