IDEAL
BATHROOM
The ideal bathroom is such which provides the essentials where you
need it,when you need it.
- The ideal position of the
bathing area would be one that allows you to step out
of your bath on to dry ground.
- Family size has an important
role to play in the design and layout of bathrooms.The
larger the family,the larger the bathroom in terms of
square footage and storage space.
- Plumbing fixtures should
be comfortably spaced,with sorage facilities andfurnishings
well arranged so that there is plenty of free space left
for manoeuvring.
- Tailoring the bathroom
to suit the age requirements of all its users is sensible.If
toddlers use the same bathroom as the adults,the towel
stand could be fixed a little lower so that a child has
easy access.
- In situations where one
bathroom has to be shared by four or more people,separating
the WC and the wash basin from the bathing area will allow
two people to use different areas of the bathroom at the
same time.
- A WC should be placed near
a window or an outer wall,so that an exhaust fan can be
fitted alongside.
- The bathing area should
be kept away from the windows to protect it from drought.
- A dry and free area(unencumbered
by fixtures) is needed to allow an adult to dry off and
dress after bathing.
- Floor should always be
skid resistant variety.
- A jacuzzi should ideally
be fitted with its access panel and electric points under
the flooring,directly below the tub.
- Colour scheme should be
according to the age factor. Women prefers soft colours
and designs,while children's bathroom sport cartoon characters.The
middle income groups there is a marked preferences for
pastel shades.The trend shouldbe sober and not flashy.
