How To Design A Perfect & Flawless Modern Bathroom?
No matter how small or big your home is, regardless of its style & design, a modern bathroom design is something every single home these days desires for convenience & functionality. To avoid the most common design blunders in the bathroom, careful planning is required. Given below are the four most commonly seen toilet design problems & how you can avoid them to make your bathroom design perfect and well-designed.
Four most commonly seen toilet design problems
# Problem1: Wet Floor
We always consider the entire area to be a toilet, but we must divide it into two areas: wet and dry. You might be wondering why there is a need to create separate wet & dry zones. Wet zones refer to the parts of the bathroom where most of the water falls on the floor. They include your shower, bathtub, and towel rails close to your hands. The dry zone is the most often used area in the bathroom & it must be kept dry. The washbasin should be close to the door entrance, & the closet should be placed between these two to avoid getting wet in the entire area and allowing water into your bedroom. Essentially, this type is the most practical bathroom layout, as it generates two separate usable spaces, allowing all messy water deeds to take place in one designated area. This makes your bathroom easy to clean, protects it from moisture, and provides you with a dressing space if your bedroom lacks one, as well as adds a touch of luxury to your bathroom design. You can separate your wet and dry zones by using a glass wall to keep the spaces separate, or you can use a shower plastic sheet, which is available on the market at a lower cost.
# Problem2: Bad Odour
Nothing is more upsetting than walking into a beautiful bathroom but needing to cover your nose to avoid the annoying odour that penetrates the space. Is your bathroom plagued with lingering odours? It maybe due to wet toilets and the lack of proper air circulation. We have already mentioned the way to avoid the wet floor problem. When it comes to bad odours in your bathroom, they can also be caused by insufficient airflow & sunlight. The necessity for proper ventilation & air circulation is a significant consideration for bathroom exhaust fans. Normally, there appears to be an exhaust fan, but the odour is caused by the exhaust’s incorrect placement. Most people install the exhaust in the bathroom window. However, it serves no purpose. An exhaust fan is a mechanical ventilation device that uses a metal duct, PVC pipe duct, or flexible tube to exhaust indoor air to the outdoors. That is, it will draw out moisture and odours from the bathroom, improving the air quality. As a result, for the exhaust to function properly, it should be placed in the centre of the bathroom, allowing for even air suction from all corners.
# Problem3: Lack of Storage
Another common issue in bathroom design is the lack of storage space. You may have towels, shampoo bottles, toothbrushes, spare toilet rolls, and much more, and you will need to find storage for all these things and more. For this, effective space utilization in the bathroom is necessary. Hence, it is best to go with table-top washbasins instead of pedestal washbasins, which are beautiful but problematic when space is limited & also eliminate the possibility of a cabinet underneath for storage. Whereas, these tabletop washbasins are simple to install, enhancing the bathroom’s style quotient & storage demands. Also, if possible, a 15 cm deep cabinet can be built to fit the space provided at the top of the wash basin, with a mirror affixed to the shutter. This will serve as a mirror as well as a storage area for your essentials. We can also see how having both wet and dry separation is essential in this context, as it could serve as a clever storage solution to allow for more open shelves and cupboards to store vital bathroom necessities. This will make the best possible use of space while maintaining a clean & pleasing design.Additionally, you may choose to add two tumblers to the wash basin to store your toothpaste, toothbrushes, & other creams, as well as shaving equipment, and you can use wall niches in the bathroom for extra storage. Consider using behind-the-door hooks for storage. In this way, you can make the most of every inch of your bathroom beautifully & functionally.
# Problem4: The Skanky Appearance
Another problem that occurs in bathroom design is the lack of a designer’s touch, especially in the case of tile selection. Designer tiles with patterns and design palettes are ideal for the bathroom, but don’t overdo it with them. There is an infinite variety of colours, shapes, textures, shapes, and styles of tiles on the market, so you can choose colours according to your taste and requirements. It’s fun and good to mix & match tiles of different colours for a truly unique & beautiful bathroom. To get it right, consider the proportions of their mutual use of tile colour. Typically, three types of tile colours are used in the bathroom to get a safer colour combination. Such as one for floor colour tiles, the other set for the entire four walls, and the third set is used for highlighter tiles—to highlight the entire tile work to give it a designer touch.Furthermore, the use of a single colour or a marble theme for flooring is also popular. In this case, you can add some accent colours to the bathroom by bringing some accent colours, such as indoor plants, artworks, or painting all bathroom accessories, including toilet brushes, carpets, liquid soap bottles, soap holders, and so on. Hence, you can bring a touch of class, sophistication, and vibrancy to your bathroom with a well-designed, designer-touch bathroom with these tile colour selection hacks.
Along with this, make sure you do not make a mistake by making joint less tiles. In the bathroom, water leaks from the gaps between the tiles, which may damage the wall and the tiles. It is recommended to use narrow, 2 to 3mm joints in bathroom tiles,that are filled with epoxy fillers to reduce water leakage issues. Otherwise, water will definitely penetrate to the other side of the wall and damp this wall, which leads to the peeling of paint from the surface. You can easily grout the gap & make it waterproof by using a spacer and epoxy-based joint filler.
Other things to keep in mind are:
During your bathroom design, you have to pay attention to the sanitary fitting selection. Sanitary fittings are now available in a variety of colours and shapes. Actually, you can match the accessories to the colour scheme of your bathroom. Not only that, but you may create themes for your bathroom and choose sanitary equipment to match the concept. It can be reflected in terms of shapes, colours, etc. When it comes to shapes, you can choose from squares, circles, ovals, and other options. If you want square-shaped sanitary ware, try to bring that theme to all sanitary fittings, such as square-shaped washbasin, tap, shower heads, closet, and you can even buy square-shaped water tank buttons. This will bring order and uniqueness to the entire décor. So, if your ultimate goal is to create a luxurious, five-star hotel-style bathroom, try the tips listed above.
