Some fun designs.  I don't think I could handle the visual effect of walking into water on the bathroom floor, so I'd go with the crumbling Rubik's cube floor.

Meh.  None of them terribly appeal to me.  When we have a bathroom we can redo, I want it to be in Monet colours; if I could get it properly waterproofed, I might have Graham paint waterlilies on the floor and seal over it, but other than that, I'm much more concerned about the actual usability of a bathroom floor than how cool it looks.

My bathroom remodeling fantasy involves a floordrain and built in pressure washer, just like my fantasy kitchen. Aesthetics are irrelevant to me at this stage of my life.

To me, I just love everything that reminds me of natural beauty, especially of animals. I would choose number 2 for a bedroom floor. I would love to go into something that reminds me of the Maldiive and Bora Bora for sleeping.
For a bthroom, I would choose the dolphins of number 14. It is like watching a dolphin performance..provided that the bathroom is such a big one like the one depicted. It is also like bathing in a sea. Now the usability of the floor is a concern, especially teh ability to clean effectively..I hope the designers took care of this.
now for the sinks
what about these?

Many of them can be put outside for washing hands only ..I would not use many of them in the bathroom becasue we need to wash or teeth and then the toothpaste and stuff will stick there..

It doesn't surprise me that we have a bunch of practically minded people here.  Lionking, you seem to be the stand out.

 i don't think the ones i chose are heavy visually..they have a water effect that to is calming and i can sacrifice a bit of cleaning when i feel like bathing in a beach and moving to dry myself next to dolphins that i feel like patting..being if old age shouldn't take u awayfrom emotions and experiencing nature ;)

I'd observe that I'm perfectly fine with a mural on my bathroom walls; I'd probably rather like it.  And I do have a colour scheme in mind.  I just think there's a place where beauty and practicality have to balance out.  Those floors wouldn't be half so pretty after they'd taken the kind of water damage you'd expect from a bathroom floor.  Also, frankly, about half of them look like Lisa Frank folders from junior high and are not, in my opinion, all that attractive compared to some of the things you could do instead.

Along with a watertight door, waterproof or -safe electrical, a soap cleaning solution dispenser, and a "start" button.
