A cool bathroom is one that looks and smells clean. A small
cozy bathroom can be much more difficult to clean than a spacious one with
minimalistic décor. Choosing design elements for your bathroom can be daunting
when it comes to picking the right ideas that will last a lifetime. You need
to think of the bigger picture in the longer run. Focus on your maintenance
needs; do not get distracted by flashy elements that will take away a lot of
time from your cleaning regime.
Designing an easy to clean bathroom is simpler than you think.
Here are some factors that you must keep in mind while gearing up to design an
easy-clean bathroom that also pleases the eye.
Pick your tiles
carefully
Your bathroom floor tiles should complement your core design.
Pick a style that blends easily with the clean, clutter-free space you are
trying to create. More often than not, the size of floor tiles plays a key
role in defining the overall look. Extremely small tiles might be your idea of
quirky styling, but remember, smaller the tiles, the more grime it collects
over time. Pick tiles that are slightly bigger so that it is easier to
maintain a neat and clean bathroom.
Wall mounting comes in
handy
When you leave enough space between your accessories and the
bathroom floor, you are automatically making life much easier. A wall mounted
toilet, additional cabinetries as well as wall mounted faucets will not have
any awkward spaces that collect dirt and mould. You needn’t worry about
toiling weekly to clean those nooks and crevices – just spray and wipe and you
are good to go! Spend enough time browsing through options to get accessories
matching or contrasting with your bathroom tiles – whichever looks cleaner and
prettier aesthetically.
A Bathing area shining
bright
Stand-alone bathtubs and non-glass showering areas are a great
idea when it comes to designing an easy-clean bathroom. A bath that is
attached to the wall will invariably mean hours of scrubbing through
enclosures that can be avoided. A bath placed on the ground adds to the clean
lines of your design structure. Glass is tough to maintain; get a shower
alcove made with darker shades of concrete bathroom wall tiles that will hide
the stains from everyday usage. Instead of a glass shower screen, you can
choose to with a shower curtain – easier to clean and adding a touch of fabric
is not a bad idea décor-wise!
Don’t let the grout
win!
Save yourself hours of cleaning by simply picking a darker
coloured grout. Or, you can do away with grout all together by picking
concrete flooring and walls. Uniform concrete floors in bright unusual colours
work wonders towards designing a great looking, squeaky-clean bathroom. Using
back painted glass for bathroom walls is another trick to keeping your
cleaning time minimal. Also popular are digital tiles with beautiful patterns
that take the eye away from ugly grout. If texture is your style, before
selecting, run your hands over the tiles to assess how easy or difficult it
will be to keep them clean.
Create a ‘clean’ design
Who does not like an airy bathroom with lots of natural light!
Choose a colour scheme that lights up your entire bathroom, however small the
space might be. Pastel shades automatically make a space look bigger because
they are constantly reflecting light. A clean bathroom design will best be
acquired if the colours are in sync with the lighting, accessories, tiles and
décor. Do not make hasty selections just because something ‘looks’ good!
Most people are crazy about creating a beautiful bathroom with
porcelain tiles as much as any other space in
their dream home construction/renovation. The idea is to keep calm and go
through your options with ample time on your hands. Ultimately, it is not just
about building the dream home; you also have to think about maintaining it as
beautifully for as long as you live!
