The bathroom is
one of the most frequently used rooms in the house. It is where we do our
private cleaning job and could also be a place of relaxation; depending on its
design.
Some have indeed said that they receive divine inspiration on their toilet
seats! (The place must be very comfortable). It is therefore important to plan
the design of the bathroom well.
Due to limited
space, we may not be able to cram all bathroom equipment into our bathrooms.
Therefore, we need to prioritise our bathroom equipment in order of the frequency
of use. when decorating, some of the things to put into consideration include; the
length of a bath tub; if you are using one, space for towel rail, water heater,
wash hand basin, toilet roll holders, the width of the shower and vanity, etc.
Many homes have a
separate room for the toilet and one for the bathroom. A small narrow room
houses only the WC and sometimes a small wash hand basin, and then in another
room there is the shower over a bath and a vanity. It is preferable to have a
single room and combine the two that way it is often possible to make allowance
for a separate shower.
As with décor for
the other parts of the house, choose a style for your bathroom. Generally, clean
and crisp fittings and fixtures together with white tiled walls and floor is a
perfect basic style for a bathroom. Other styles include beautiful terracotta
tiled floor with tiled walls, recessed lights, brass fittings, heritage
porcelain fittings, spiked taps.
Recessing an open glass shelve into the wall near the
tub helps keeps the bathing area uncluttered and offers easy access storage for
clean towels and bathing accessories.
Remember to try
fittings and fixtures before purchasing them for your bathroom. Lie in the bath
ensure it fits you or that of the intended users. Sit on the toilet seats to
make sure they can withhold your weight, turn the taps or levers, and see if
they are functioning.
Essentially,
decorating any part of your house should be fun; the bathroom is no exception. So,
when the time comes to do some redecorating, sample as many ideas as you can
before you settle for one.
