Good design can do more than just make your bathroom look good: it can also transform your daily routine and add value to your home. In today’s post, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno takes a look at the key elements of a well-designed bathroom.
The Elements of Good Bathroom Design
While every bathroom has its own unique set of requirements, there are design elements that serve as building blocks for a well-designed bathroom.
- Function. The bathroom layout should allow efficiency, ease of movement and access to all fixtures. There must be adequate storage for essentials such as bathroom supplies while keeping the space organized and clutter-free.
- Safety. Slip-resistant flooring and proper lighting can help reduce the risk of accidents in the bathroom. Grab bars in areas such as the tub and shower can make the bathroom safe to use for elderly members of the household, or those with limited accessibility.
- Comfort. While bathrooms are generally viewed as a utility, comfort should not be overlooked. Ergonomic fixtures, heated floors and ample ventilation can dramatically improve comfort in the bathroom.
- Aesthetics. Visuals are a key element of any home design. Choosing a cohesive color scheme and using quality materials can elevate the overall look and feel of your bathroom. Fidelity to a certain aesthetic or architectural style can also be helpful as a guide for your design choices.
Selecting the Ideal Bathroom Remodeler
When you achieve a good balance between the elements described above, you get a well-designed bathroom. It will, of course, require a good deal of planning, which is why bathroom remodeling must never be rushed. Take the time to research materials, colors and finishes, as well as technologies that can further improve your bathroom experience.
If design is not your forte, don’t worry — that’s what remodelers and consultants are for. DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Reno has experienced interior designers that can help guide the design process and bring it to completion. We say “guide” because your input is important — ultimately, your bathroom reflects your style and taste, not your remodeler’s.
