Renovating and designing a layout for rooms can be difficult. However, planning the layout of a bathroom is an even bigger challenge. Unlike the bedroom where the majority of the furniture can be freely moved around, the bathroom brings an air of finality due to how difficult making renovations will be. This is why planning and taking exact measurements before buying the fixtures is important. Moreover, most bathroom fixtures today don’t come at a cheap price. Listed below are fixtures essential in completing the bathroom.
Mirrors
If you have limited space to work with, getting a mirror is an excellent way to elevate the way your bathroom looks. Because the nature of a mirror is to reflect light, it gives the illusion of a bigger space. Additionally, you’ll find it easier to brush your teeth and apply hair products. Also, for those who are big on social media, mirrors can be a good addition so you can take pictures of your OOTD.
Tiles
The tiles you pick can affect how your bathroom looks. Choosing a lighter colour for smaller bathrooms is advisable because it gives the impression of having more space. Moreover, the pattern or shape of the tiles can also add to the illusion. Generally, picking taller and narrower tiles over short and wide tiles will give off the feeling of a bigger room.
Shower
Shower areas can be a bit tricky because there is no one-size-fits-all. But one thing is for sure. In a small shower area, keeping the whole bathroom from getting wet while showering is hard. And if you don’t have time in the morning to mop the bathroom after work, then a walk in shower enclosure may benefit you. Other advantages of walk-in shower enclosures include your mirror not fogging up from the shower steam and your clothes not getting wet.
Toilet
As the toilet typically takes up the most space after the shower area, choosing the right toilet will be important in saving you more space. Many manufacturers sell different sizes and shapes of toilets. So, before buying one, it would be worthwhile to take all the measurements of your bathroom. Then, cross-check whether you have enough space for it in your bathroom using the dimensions of the different toilets available.
Drains
If only a limited number of windows are in the bathroom, then placing drains strategically around the enclosure is important. Not having proper drainage systems can cause a plethora of problems. Without drains in the right areas, mould and mildew can form and accumulate in the bathroom.
Conclusion
Of course, many other important fixtures are needed to complete a bathroom. However, these are only a few of the mainstays for bathrooms. The fixtures required to be purchased for a bathroom can be influenced by many factors. These include the amount of ventilation, the people who will use the bathroom, or the budget allocated for the bathroom. They will reveal what you truly need.
