Common mistakes when designing bathroom

Not considered as the main space of the house, but the bathroom plays an important role for family members. When designing a bathroom, many people often make the fundamental mistake.
Bathrooms and toilets are one of the most frequently used spaces in the home. Although not the main space of the house, the bathroom plays an important role in the health and well-being of family members.

Many homeowners believe that the bathroom has only secondary functions, not comparable with the living room or bedroom. Therefore, during the construction process, this space was not paid attention to the design. This is the reason why family members have many inconveniences when using them later. Not a main space, but the bathroom plays an important role in the health and well-being of family members. (Artwork) Without the support of an architect or professional interior designer, you can still design your bathroom, clean it properly and avoid making the following basic mistakes: Not enough for the door Many homeowners often take advantage of the space to build a bathroom or toilet, so the area for this space is not large. Therefore, the door is the most vulnerable place to “steal space”. The door space is often not enough, often used for objects, so the door never opens the wide angle as designed by the hinge. How to overcome this drawback is to use sliding doors or sliding doors to increase the usable area inside. Not setting the right space for the bathroom is a misconception. (Illustration) The location is not reasonable Even with professionals, it is not easy to locate the toilet in the bathroom so that it is reasonable. Should put the toilet bowl in the place where the most comfortable, most spacious use. Preferably in the corner, away from the doors and near the sink. There is no ventilation system Ventilation in the bathroom is very important, because it is the only source of air exchange in a closed room with the outside environment. With bathrooms without ventilation fans, moisture and odor will have a chance to develop, negatively affecting the health of family members. Do not use anti-slip floor tiles Expensive and luxurious natural stones or marble but completely unsuitable for bathroom floor linings. For families with the elderly and young children, designing a safe bathroom is very important. Therefore, any type of tile or stone used in the bathroom floor lining must also ensure slip resistance. Currently, many families tend to choose rough materials to increase safety but should also choose a moderate roughness to limit dirt and difficult to clean. Should choose bathroom floor tiles with a moderate roughness will be less dirty and easier to clean. (Illustration) The area is too small With townhouses with a modest area, many homeowners take advantage of certain space to build bathrooms. Even, there are large houses but only spend a little part to make bathrooms, because the owner thinks it is not important. That is a misconception. Even a small bathroom should be large enough to store essential items such as towels, soap, shower gel, or cleaning chemicals. It is best to have a small shelf or a small cabinet, you can use a wall-mounted cabinet to save space. Do not use professional waterproofing A common mistake when building a bathroom is using improper waterproofing or not using waterproofing on floors and walls, surfaces exposed to water. From there, water easily condenses into the cracks in the floor, between the bricks, the adhesive materials such as lime, mortar are gradually damaged, moldy and peeling. Put gravel under the floor Spreading the gravel under the bathroom floor is both aesthetically pleasing and has a good adhesion effect. However, this form is only suitable for spas, but with a family bathroom, it requires a lot of care from the owner. In addition, spreading gravel under the bathroom floor is easy to get dirty, make water stagnant and difficult to clean. Phuong Anh (synthetic)
