Planning the Design of Your Bathroom
Before you even start to lay the groundwork for your bathroom, it is important to visualize how it will fit in relation to the other rooms in the house. Most people prefer that the bathroom be easily accessible from the master bedroom, therefore you should plan with this thought in mind. In addition, you will also want the bathroom to be located in such a way that people can get to the dressing room – if there is one – easily. You may want to look at samples of existing bedroom and bathroom designs to give you an idea of how other designers plan out these rooms, and to give you a starting point for your own creation.
One thing that you will also want to consider is privacy. If the bathroom is not inside the bedroom itself, you should ensure that people have enough privacy to get to the dressing room from the bathroom. This is commonly done by building the bathroom adjacent to the dressing room, which then connects to the bedroom, placing the bathroom farthest from the door into the bedroom. This ensures the bathroom users maximum privacy.
Since most people typically leave the door into the dressing room open, you will want to design the elements in this “hallway” to be as attractive and inviting as possible. There is a unique design opportunity to be had here, with elements that can really serve to tie the look of both rooms together. Feel free then to let your imagination take control, but keep the overall theme in mind.
