On a practical level, the best first BATHROOM DESIGN IDEA for happy functioning is to provide a large capacity hot water tank(s) to adequately meet all showering and laundry needs. Some homes are planned with these near the bathroom for energy efficiency – best to eliminate hot water lines running a distance.

ENSUITE IDEAS Interior Design Bathrooms

There are various options to consider for the ensuite bath, depending on the degree of intimacy or privacy wanted. A common room for all fixtures is the most common and economically employed. However the master ensuite can be most appealing planned with some separation between function areas.

A SPA RETREAT Interior Design Bathrooms

For a spa-like feel, a tub is really best in it’s own space, great combined with a seated vanity. A low upholstered bench seat is ideal for toweling off and applying lotions etc. If you enjoy a private luxurious bath without interruption, plan the option to close this room off.

The more you try to cram the bath area into a small space with other fixtures, the less appealing it will be with a choppy boxed look. If you go to the extent of creating a separate space, it is best to keep it simple.

Allow enough space and let it create the effect. It just looks far too utilitarian with too many fixtures in a small space. A large enough space is essential to pull this off.

When the bath is in use and closed off, it is only considered convenient and congenial to keep sinks and toilet available for use of the partner sharing the bath / bedroom suite.

Sinks and toilet areas may be compartmentalized or combined depending on the space available and other factors.

Closets and dressing area are fabulous adjacent to master bedroom and bath suite, complete with dressing mirrors, built-in clothing storage organizing drawers,
shelves and hanging spaces.

MAIN FAMILY INTERIOR DESIGN BATHROOMS

Bristol And Bath Carlton Bathroom Double Sink Vanity
Some family homes have installed ensuites at all bedrooms, in order to avoid the congestion of a main bathroom at peak usage times. These may include simply a sink with vanity. Toilet and perhaps a shower may be considered, depending on how far you wish to go with the concept.

Most family homes use a main bathroom to cover the family needs. Consider here, especially to maximize multiple use, creating separate areas as much as possible. When the shower, bath or toilet are in use, with all fixtures behind the locked door for privacy, is the least efficient use of bathroom space.

For maximal use, three separate areas is most ideal. The shower and bath in one, toilet in another. In the third space double bath vanities are great for family use. This way allows all fixtures to be in use, with privacy.

Variations may be created. For example, it can also work very well for the smaller family to use two separate areas. One with tub, shower, toilet and sink; the other a dressing area with sink and vanity.

Be cautious with storage provision. The pedestal sink and various (beautiful) sink consoles have become popular for the elegant appearance, but eliminates cabinet space. Storage of towels, toiletries, and cleaning products, are most convenient stored right in the bathroom.

Creative storage options can be pantry style storage, tallboy on wheels or stacked cabinets provided there is space enough in the plan.
