In modern life, the bathroom is not only a place for convenience and washing off the dirt on the body, but also a place for adjusting the body and mind, relaxing the nerves, and restoring omissions. Therefore, no matter in terms of space layout, or design aspects of equipment materials, colors, lines, lighting, etc., it should not be ignored to make it play a better role.
bathroom material selection
The design of the bathroom is basically convenient, safe, easy to clean and beautiful. Because the water vapor in the bathroom is very heavy, the interior decoration materials must be mainly waterproof materials. The walls and ceilings of the bathroom occupy a large area, so materials that are waterproof, corrosion-resistant and mildew-proof should be selected to ensure indoor hygiene. Ceramic tiles, laminates and waterproof plastic wallpapers can all meet these requirements. Natural stone such as marble has a special texture, but it may not be effective in a small bathroom.
In terms of flooring, floor tiles made of natural stone are impressive and durable; large tiles are easy to clean and easy to keep dry; plastic flooring has high practical value, and its anti-slip effect is more significant after adding studs. At present, most families use non-slip and wear-resistant bricks of various patterns and colors, and prepare bricks of various specifications according to the size of the space, roughly 300 mm × 300 mm, 200 mm × 300 mm, 200 mm × 200 mm, etc. . Square or rectangular decorative tiles are used on the wall, with waistlines, tiles, and corner lines to increase the overall aesthetic feeling. At the same time, PVC buckle wall panels can also be used, which are simple and elegant, with simple and elegant lines.
bathroom ceiling
The bathroom ceiling can be made of various materials according to different shapes. For example, the flat roof can use PVC gussets, aluminum gussets, plastic aluminum plates, and light steel keels. For dome-shaped and other art ceilings, softer waterproof boards, soft boards, plastic-aluminum boards can be used, or decorated with a variety of colored glass.
In terms of general ceiling height, most of the family bathrooms in developed countries are relatively short, while in many domestic residences, the height of the bathroom is the same as that of other rooms, so in order to avoid emptiness and coldness, the general ceiling height can be designed at 2.2 meters to 2.4 meters between meters. When the area exceeds 8 square meters, it is advisable to install a cosmetic cabinet above the washbasin, hang a storage box far away from the water source, or set aside a place for daily changing.
bathroom color
In terms of color matching, the color effect of the bathroom is composed of the combination of walls, floor materials, and lighting. The color of the bathroom is preferably cool and clean, and it is suitable to match the same color or similar colors, such as light gray tiles, white bathtub, milky white washstand, and light yellow walls. Clear and simple warm tones can also be used, such as milky white, ivory yellow or rose red walls, supplemented by similar-colored, simple-patterned floors. More elegant and clean, pleasant and refreshing. Black and gold represent mystery and elegance, coupled with glass, marble, and mirrors, with the help of lights to scatter stars, it looks even more golden and magnificent. In addition, the bathroom boldly uses black and white super large elements, which is clear, simple and clean, and embellished with green plants can add a lot of vitality.
Bathroom sanitary ware selection
The family bathroom usually includes a toilet and a bathroom (most families are combined into one), and its composition can be roughly divided into three parts: the sanitary ware area, the bathing area, and the face washing and beauty area. Each area is closely related and functionally differentiated at the same time.
It is best to choose the toilet to first determine the toilet drainage method: whether it is the lower row or the rear row. If it is the bottom row, the distance from the sewage outlet to the wall must be measured, and you can choose according to this size, otherwise, no matter how good the toilet is, it will not be fully utilized. The second is the drainage performance. The performance of the toilet is flushing, water saving and quiet. Nowadays, people have misunderstandings about “flushing” and think that it is enough for the dirt to be discharged from the toilet. In fact, flushing contains two meanings. One is flushing out of the toilet. The second is to flush out of the sewage pipes, and both can be completely flushed. Water saving and quietness is a hot trend, so this kind of products are very popular among users. The purchase of this type of toilet should mainly start from the drainage method, pipeline location, internal structure and toilet accessories. The drainage mode of toilet is based on siphon and flush down at present. The siphon is to use the water level difference between the overflowing sewage pipe and the water seal to generate suction to discharge the sewage; the flushing is to use the impact force of the water flow to achieve one-time sewage discharge. There is also a contradiction here. The flushing type is better than the siphon type in saving water, but the volume is louder; Finding a better combination of the two is the key to your choice.
At present, there are two main types of basins on the market: table basin and pedestal basin. There is no difference in function between the two, but there are differences in form. The washbasin is suitable for a bathroom with a large bay, which looks solemn and magnificent; the column basin is suitable for a bathroom with a compact layout, which looks exquisite and chic. The choice of bathtubs tends to be acrylic cylinders, because acrylic profiles are light in weight, low in thermal conductivity, easy to clean, feel good, and the design is more in line with the shape of the human body, but the price is higher than that of steel cylinders.
Glazed surface is not only the face of sanitary ware but also its internal quality. Good sanitary ware has smooth and uniform glazed surface, strong acid and alkali resistance, low water absorption, no dirt, and easy cleaning. It is the “favored” point of housewives. It is a choice that depends on your skill and unique vision. The choice of sanitary ware style and color depends entirely on personal preference. White bathrooms are clean and bright; black and white bathrooms appear youthful; colorful bathrooms highlight individuality and style. The simple, elegant, concise, and avant-garde style is a thorough display of the new concept of life. Living and personalization are no longer the patents of living rooms and bedrooms.
The choice of hardware matching the sanitary ware should be “heavy on the product and light on the appearance”. Good faucets all use ceramic core valves, which are closely integrated with the shell and are durable. Buy carefully, and remember to ask for the inspection certificate and warranty card when buying.
Generally speaking, if the above points are achieved, the choice of bathroom sanitary ware is basically qualified. Of course, the harmony and unity of sanitary ware, wall tiles, and floor tiles cannot be ignored, and such a bathroom will make you feel comfortable.
Bathroom lighting and appliances
For bathroom lighting, generally incandescent lamps should be selected for overall lighting, and soft brightness is enough, but an independent lighting lamp must be installed next to the vanity mirror to supplement local lighting, and daylight lamps can be used for partial lighting in front of the mirror to increase warmth and spaciousness , fresh feeling. In the selection of bathroom lamps, lamps should be sealed with reliable waterproof and safe glass or plastic. In terms of the shape of the lighting, you can choose according to your own interests and hobbies, but it should not be too much or too low during installation, so as to avoid cumbersome or accidents such as splashing water and collisions.
At the same time, pay special attention to the ventilation equipment and electrical appliances in the bathroom. Ventilation equipment can use affordable exhaust fans, and water heaters should be used to prevent gas leakage during hygienic use. In addition, the power switch and socket in the bathroom must be placed outside the bathroom to prevent leakage due to moisture and accidents.
