Designing The Perfect Bathroom For Your Needs
Often times the design of bathrooms are not
given much consideration. Many people focus on the décor of the
bathroom, while neglecting the functional design. Of course,
depending on the type of bathroom you're building, you will need to
keep different factors in mind. This article will consider the
design factors for three different types of bathrooms.
Master bathrooms
The design and functionality of master bathrooms vary widely. Some
are relatively basic, while others have a whirlpool or other
features. Some are even divided into multiple rooms! You just have
to decide what features you want yours to have!
Commercial restrooms
When designing commercial bathrooms, two major factors to consider
are privacy and sanitation. Privacy is usually solved one of two
ways – for single stall restrooms, a lock on the door; for multi
stall restrooms, locks on the stall doors. That way it's easy to
tell which stalls are in use.
As far as sanitation is concerned, one feature that will help a lot
is tile floors and walls, and a drain in the floor. That way, you
can just bleach and hose down the entire bathroom on a regular
basis. Any feature that will make sanitation easier or simpler
should be given consideration.
Of course, durability should be a given in commercial bathrooms.
People will treat fixtures roughly, so they should be built to
withstand the abuse.
Kids' bathrooms
If you're designing a bathroom for your kids, the main factors you
probably want to consider are safety and durability.
With safety in mind, you should consider to as much as possible use
non slip surfaces. Also, kids WILL spill water in the bathroom, so
try to design the bathroom in such a way that spilled water will not
cause damage or a safety hazard.
Durability is pretty obvious, for the most part – minimize glass and
other delicate decorations and fixtures.
