The main mistakes in bathroom design

To make your bathroom a true embodiment of luxury and comfort, we will explore the key nuances to consider when designing it.

Lack of storage space

One of the most common mistakes is the insufficient amount of storage space. Bathrooms often have many items that need to be placed somewhere, and their poorly planned arrangement can lead to clutter and visual noise.

Solution:

1. Add hanging cabinets and shelves to the interior to make the most of vertical space.

2. Cabinets with integrated organizers or built-in storage sections will help maintain style and order in the bathroom.

Poor ergonomics

An improper layout of the bathroom can also lead to significant inconveniences.

Solution:

1. Position mirrors at eye level, and place faucets not too close to the edge of the sink to avoid water splashing.

2. Install the sink at a comfortable height, considering the height of all family members.

3. Place towel bars and hooks within easy reach of the sink, shower, or bathtub.

4. Ensure there is enough space for free movement throughout the bathroom.

Choosing the wrong materials

Choosing unsuitable finishing materials can significantly impact the overall atmosphere of the bathroom. When purchasing materials, it is essential to pay attention to their appearance as well as their functionality.

Solution:

1. Ensure that the materials are water-resistant and easy to clean.

2. Large-format tiles will create a monolithic surface effect, visually expanding the space. Tiles that mimic natural stone, marble, or concrete are particularly relevant.

Faucet placement in the shower

The correct placement of the shower faucet is an important aspect that affects the bathroom's comfort, safety, and functionality.

Solution:

1. Do not place the faucet directly under the showerhead. It is best to install it so that you can turn on the water without stepping into the wet area.

2. Install the faucet at a convenient height so that it is easy to reach.

3. Consider the installation depth for wall-mounted faucets, which should be up to 10 centimeters.

Incorrect tile layout

An improper tile layout can significantly affect the overall appearance of the bathroom.

Solution:

1. Carefully plan the tile layout, considering the space's dimensions and shape.

2. Start laying the tiles from the center of the room to ensure the cuts are symmetrical. The edge cuts should be at least half the width of the tile.

Heating solutions

Heating in the bathroom is not just a nice addition; it is an option that provides comfort and coziness in your space.

Solution:

1. Install underfloor heating for a comfortable sensation underfoot and to help dehumidify the bathroom air.

2. Use a heated towel rail or install warm walls to heat the room and dry towels.

Poor placement of electrical outlets

The bathroom is a high-humidity area, so proper outlet installation is crucial for its convenience, safety, and functionality.

Solution:  

1. Install outlets in convenient locations, such as near the sink and mirror.

2. Use moisture-resistant outlets for safety.

3. Employ built-in covered outlets for charging razors and toothbrushes.
