Bathrooms have come a long way from the tiny, dingy little cubicles that our ancestors rushed in and out of as fast as they could. Spending any thought or money on doing up these rooms was considered a sheer waste until very recently.
Bathrooms are increasingly becoming a focus in homes and the importance of the right bathroom suites and bathroom furniture is key to creating a well designed and welcoming environment to prepare for the day ahead or relax after a stressful one.
As such, badly designed and poorly decorated bathrooms are becoming a thing of the past as homeowners are beginning to design bespoke bathroom suites that are perfect for their style of life.
The Bathrooms Of Today
The bathrooms of today are different in quality and style-ranging from the practical to luxurious. Every individual's idea of luxury differs, as do the features they would like to include in their bathrooms. The possibilities are endless: His and Hers wash-basins, bidets, Jacuzzis with underwater lighting and adjustable slide jets with an option of water, heated air or both, sauna, steam bath, whirlpool or a reading nook with bookshelves and two comfy chairs!
Then there are bathrooms located in a secluded corner of the house beside a glass wall that brings the outdoors with in.
Where-as earlier the sink, WC and bathing area were placed just where they fitted in conveniently, often resulting in the users having to traipse the length of the room to wash their hands, today a lot of thought is given to the placement of each fixture in the bathroom.
Designing bathrooms can be problematic and finding the right bathroom furniture for your house is largely dependent on the dimensions of the property but, in most cases, stylish bathroom suites can be fitted into most spaces.
Bathrooms should aim to exude a light and airy environment and this can often by achieved through lighting and the use of bathroom mirrors.
Colors used have a bearing on the choice of bathroom suites, so, it is important to consider color schemes before forging ahead with the rejuvenation of a bathroom. There are numerous factors that need to be considered when it comes to redesigning bathrooms and some of the most important include:
- Budget – For those opting to redesign their bathrooms, the all important aspect to bear in mind is budget. Bathroom furniture, fixtures and fittings can be tailored to meet all budgets and new bathroom suites need to complement any furniture used in the bathroom.
- Mechanics – If altering the layout of bathrooms or bathroom suites, it is important to bear in mind the existing pipe work that the bathroom is serviced by. Significantly altering the location of bathroom fixtures and fittings may add cost to the overall redevelopment of a bathroom.
- Furniture – When it comes to setting the tone in a bathroom redevelopment, bathroom furniture has an important part to play. For example, you could opt for freestanding or fitted bathroom furniture to complement a new bathroom suite.
Showers, bathtubs, defoggers for mirrors, heated flooring with temperature control and sunken Jacuzzi tubs are part of luxury bathrooms today. Besides the things mentioned above, bathroom accessories are color coordinated with the rest of the bathroom like the soap trays, bathroom shelves, towel rails, toilet-paper holders, hooks and toothbrush holder. Walk in wardrobes adjacent to the bathroom are also a common feature. A lot of stress is also laid on exhaust and fresh air fans.
Current lifestyles often demand that bathrooms offer extra facilities beyond the purely functional; besides the mandatory. Things like closet storage, make-up table-cum-dresser, washing machine or even a little nook used as a dressing space are welcomed.
Bathrooms are ideal for chromo therapy, installing bathtubs with chromo therapy options are an ultimate relaxation. Add a steam shower and experience the indulgent warmth of steam. Saunas have long been seen as luxury items that can only be found in expensive fitness and health clubs but in recent years there has been a growing trend that has seen the numbers of such products increase in bathrooms all across the world.
