My Wish List
The bathroom is a key room for the comfort of using our apartment or house. In a situation where there are more household members, it is worth considering the appropriate device at the initial design stage. A family bathroom should combine functionality, ease of use and style.
The theory sounds good, but the expectations of the household members may be different, often contradictory. Long bathings or a quick showering? Carefully applied makeup by the bathroom mirror, or maybe a quick wash of the face before work? The trick in the design of family bathrooms is to reconcile all these often contradictory needs and create a space that will satisfy all residents and allow them to use freely.
The age-old conflict between the bathtub and the shower continues. Meanwhile, there is no need to give up any of these functions. Colloquially known as "bathtub shower", i.e. a bathtub with a bathtub screen, which enables comfortable taking not only a long bath, but also a quick shower, can be an excellent solution when the preferences of the household members are different. However, when we agree on the superiority of one of the options, it is worth choosing a walk-in shower enclosure, which helps us create a modern bathroom arrangement or a free-standing bathtub in which we can have an atmospheric long bath without any problems.
Bathtub or shower enclosure? Or maybe one with the other?
Of course, the space for cosmetics and personal belongings in a family bathroom is a bit of a challenge. We should take care not only of the number of cabinets, but also their wise arrangement and size selection so that they do not create the impression of reducing the usable space of the bathroom. They should be spacious, located at a height accessible to all household members (including the youngest!). Thanks to this, the bathroom does not lose its charm due to the hygiene measures placed in every corner.
More people, more cabinets
Two bathroom washbasins - one next to the other or a double washbasin - are a great solution for families where the bathroom is often used by two people at the same time. Thanks to this, however, a person uses the washbasin to prepare makeup, and another family member can freely wash their hands and face next to it. It is a great solution for couples and families with schoolchildren, when the traffic in the bathroom is enormous, especially in the morning.
Two washbasins - a way for busy people
Unfortunately, our expectations often diverge from reality. The space designated for the bathroom can be too small and cramped, so the use of some solutions should remain in the sphere of dreams. Remember, however, that we can regain some space using simple tricks. It is primarily the choice of a narrower model of the washing machine, giving up the large dimensions of the shower enclosures in favor of more stylish and narrower solutions. The same applies to sanitary fittings. We can even choose a double washbasin instead of two separate ones, saving another precious centimeters.
How to gain space in a tight bathroom?
A comfortably furnished family bathroom should be conducive to much calmer mornings and less nervous evenings. It is a place that allows us to properly care for, relax and use it in accordance with our needs. A well-organized bathroom should avoid the tense atmosphere and should meet the expectations of most household members.
