- 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.
