Uta Kappler Nov 13, 2012:
Not sure whether this should/could be translated literally, since this "word & letter" play seems to be a marketing concept focusing on the bathroom as a comfort/feel-good zone or "Wohlfühl-Oase".
Kate Collyer Nov 13, 2012:
also agree with Orla and back up her suggestion - the "Ideal Home Exhibition" is a very famous annual event here in London, so 'The Ideal Bathroom' sounds perfect to me
Johanna Timm, PhD Nov 13, 2012:
agree with Orla on the highly questionable use of Lebensraum.
oa_xxx (X) Nov 13, 2012:
The German construction is a terrible idea anyway, (Lebensraum with all its associations...) why not keep it simple "The ideal bathroom - innovation and design" (or creating the ideal bathroom) - the messe seems to be aimed at other businesses as much as if not more than the general public.

A dream of a bathroom

Another suggestion

The bathtub here is like an island surrounded by water. And the seaview makes this particular space a dream of a room.

Possibly less "cheesy" than my previous suggestion but still a bit arty. The original is "cheesy" though indeed.

Or, to include the 'dreamy element': "Turning you bathroom into a dream spa," :


"We have an abundance of options to create the space you desire, from a simple bath to a dream spa."

agree Lancashireman : ... with the only proposal that doesn't mention/include 'dream'. 'Traum' is a much overused prefix in German.
