Before getting to work in the refurbishment or design of your bathroom, you have to think about what you want first. In addition to design, it’s important to understand what you need in this room you’ll use daily!
The arrangement of the elements should be thought calmly, as well as their positioning, in order to give rise to a more fluid, organized and clean bathroom. You must decide whether you prefer a bathtub or shower base. If the will is to put both, it is a valid option for those who like to relax with a soaking bath or in case of having small children. Still, most of the time, it is impossible due to the reduced space. As appealing as the bathtub is, the shower is a good option for those who have a smaller space. Also with advancing age, the shower base turns out to be more functional and practical than the bathtub. Not to mention the lower costs of water, gas or electricity. An Italian shower, for example, is a great design option, since the floor is continuous, giving the illusion of more space. It is, however, essential to use quality materials and know how to apply them, so that there is no risk of infiltration.
The materials you adopt in addition to creating a comfortable and aesthetically appealing environment should be durable materials, as they are directly related to the durability of your bathroom, and thus can avoid its replacement in a short time. The toughest materials are solid stones, ceramic finishes and finishes. Still, if you prefer wood in this room of the house, you can opt for thermolaminate solutions or hydro-water melamine.
Tidying up in your bathroom is also an important factor to consider. In addition to the washbasin bench furniture, you can choose to create a niche next to the shower, with shelves for toiletries. You can also opt for a furniture with mirror doors above the washbasin, because in addition to having storage, gives greater amplitude to the bathroom. And since we’re talking about mirrors, in case you don’t need extra storage, the mirror is a great piece of décor. Your design can define the type of environment you want to broadcast in your bathroom.
In addition to the mirror, lighting can also play a key role in the design of this space. The truth is that there are many options! With indirect lighting on the false ceiling, behind and above the mirror, or even direct with more worked lamps, in order to create a balance with the mirror. Whenever possible, make sure your bathroom has good ventilation and natural lighting. Usually bathrooms are neglected at this point, however, it is a very important factor to prevent it from becoming a space for the propagation of fungi and bacteria.
