Bathrooms may seem like a difficult design task to take on; however, these spaces may introduce a clever design challenge to add to your plate. Creating a functional and storage-friendly bathroom may be just what your home needs.
Ideally speaking, the door to the bathroom should be placed on the longer wall. This makes it possible to separate the wet area from the dry one. There should be convenient handles or bars for senior people to hold on to. The slope of the bathroom must be right, water must not accumulate anywhere, especially near the door. While making the doorframe it is better to avoid wood. It is advisable to avoid wood and ply doors as the dampness affects the door sooner or later. Fibreglass flush doors look beautiful and are long lasting. Therefore, they are the best option.
Bathrooms need different kinds of lighting like ceiling or wall mounted light, pelmet light and compact fluorescent light placed above the washbasin. Colour coordinated, wall glazed tiles are good alternative for the walls of the bathrooms. A glass divider should be used to separate the wet and dry area. The countertop around the washbasin should be made of porcelain.
Good ventilation is necessary. So, do not forget to put in an exhaust fan. Planning the colour scheme will be an easy job as many floor tile dealers make the selection easy by creating mock-up bathrooms that give the buyers a clear idea as what the end results will be. There are several varieties in decorative tiles and borders.
Instead of stuffing them in large cabinets, showcase your colorful, textured towels in open shelving. This will add warmth and playful colors to your space and eliminate unwanted large furniture pieces.
Stack floating shelves to add storage in a fashionable way. Colorful storage ladders showcase personality and are a great place to store containers. Sink skirts add flair and hide cleaning products.
Wooden crates can be stacked, drilled into the wall or placed on the ground for accessible storage.
If the space you have is a small one, it is better to use light pastel shades. Avoid using contrasts in floor colour. If the colour of the walls and floor blend then the room will appear larger.
