What are the problems with having a bathroom in the master bedroom? How to solve it? Is it necessary to have a bathroom in the master bedroom?

We all know that the master bedroom is the largest bedroom in the house and is also a place that is decorated with great emphasis. Many master bedrooms have bathrooms, which is convenient for people to use. However, there is often a problem. So what problems are likely to occur if the master bedroom has a bathroom? Let's take a closer look!

How to solve the problem of having a bathroom in the master bedroom

The master bedroom has a bathroom, which is convenient for daily life, but also has disadvantages, mainly in four aspects: water seepage, high humidity, odor, and noise. We specifically analyze and recommend solutions for these four disadvantages for your reference.

1. Water seepage

In order to completely prevent water seepage from the bathroom walls, it is best to complete the waterproofing project in advance, and do not do waterproofing later, otherwise it will not only waste time and money, but also have poor results. If your waterproofing is done well enough, there will be no problem. In case there is a little problem with your waterproofing, the water in the bathroom will definitely penetrate everywhere and slowly penetrate into the walls of the master bedroom.

Because the waterproof material is inside the wall, it has a certain lifespan due to the natural aging of the material and expansion and contraction. Generally, many waterproof materials have a lifespan of about 20 years. Once the waterproof layer is damaged, it will cause the water to penetrate the waterproof layer and cause the bathroom wall to seep. Then it will seep into the wall of your bedroom. After a long time, the wall will become moldy and fall off. It is not pleasant to see the moldy wallpaper and the moldy wall.

Treatment plan: There is currently no very good way to deal with the problem of water seepage. You can only waterproof the bathroom in advance and do it well. If water seepage occurs, you have to remove all the bathroom decorations and redo the waterproofing, which is equivalent to redecorating the entire bathroom, and it is more troublesome and complicated. There is no better way to protect it than this.

2. High humidity

The issue of water vapor in the bathroom is unavoidable, because the master bedroom has a bathroom. When you take a shower in the bathroom, the heat and water vapor will increase the humidity of the water vapor and air in the room. When the air humidity is high, it will make the quilt feel wet and slippery, right? The same is true for clothes and walls. Especially in the sauna weather in the south, this phenomenon will be aggravated. After a long time, the whole room will have a musty smell.

Solution:

Keep the exhaust fan in the bathroom turned on for a long time, whether you are taking a shower or not, and let it exhaust air out continuously to accelerate the convection of the high-humidity air and exhaust the odorous water vapor in the bathroom, which can achieve a better effect.

In the corridor between the bathroom and the master bedroom, you can put more activated carbon and lime charcoal bags, or you can add a dehumidifier to your master bedroom.

3. Odor

There are two main sources of odor in the bathroom: one is the smell from going to the toilet, and the other is that the floor drain does not isolate the odor.

1. Whenever someone goes to the bathroom, a special smell will be produced. This is a reality that is embarrassing and does not need too much explanation.

2. Bathroom odor. Many people ignore the bathroom floor drain. This floor drain will also transfer the odor in the pipe to the bathroom and fill the entire bathroom. When you open the bathroom door, the odor will run into the bedroom. Therefore, the odor brought by the floor drain should not be underestimated and should be paid more attention to. Regarding the master bedroom with a bathroom, the odor is inevitable because there is no very effective solution on the market so far.

Solution:

Here are some ways to remove the odor from the bathroom:

When you go to the bathroom, be sure to close the door, and then turn on two exhaust fans, and make two more exhaust holes. This will increase the exchange convection of the bathroom and quickly exhaust the odor to the outside. This is the only effective method at present, and it is the only method with lower cost. Other methods are not easy to use.

The solution to the problem of floor drains transmitting odors is to replace the floor drains with ones that can isolate air and odors.

Activated carbon bags can increase the effect of absorbing odors.

4. Noise

Regarding the issue of noise, it depends on how sensitive the person living in the master bedroom is to noise. Many people will not wake up even if there is thunder; but some people will wake up even if you walk by quietly. Such people are very sensitive to noise, especially older people who go to the bathroom frequently at night. The sounds of water filling and flushing in the toilet are still quite harsh at night. The elderly are generally very sensitive to noise. After being disturbed, they may not be able to sleep well the whole night. This requires special attention. Many young people are under a lot of pressure now. If they cannot sleep well at night, they will not be energetic the next day, which will affect their study and work.

Solution:

Noise cannot be completely avoided, but the noise level can be reduced. How to deal with it? Add sound insulation cotton to the door frame and door edge of the room. When flushing the toilet, gently cover the toilet lid and then flush. This way the noise will be relatively smaller.

In short, the most unfavorable factors for having a bathroom in the master bedroom are these four aspects, which also vary from person to person. After all, our house is to provide us with a high-quality living space. After controlling the favorable and unfavorable factors of this living space for you, including the degree that you and your family can accept, you can design it however you like.

Can the master bedroom bathroom be converted into a dressing room?

It is possible to convert the master bathroom into a dressing room, but it is not recommended.

Why do I say that? There are two reasons. First, most houses nowadays are high-rise buildings. When designing the structure of a house, since the location of the master bedroom bathroom has been planned, the structure of each floor must be unified and cannot be changed. In this way, even if you seal the drain with cement, there will still be odor. Think about it, in the summer, when the cloakroom is full of odors, and then it infects your clothes, how does it feel. Second, you can guarantee that you have done a good job of waterproofing, but can you guarantee that others have done a good job of waterproofing? In case of a leak, the clothes in the cloakroom will add up to a considerable amount of loss.

What should I pay attention to when the master bedroom has a bathroom

1. Is it an open bathroom, that is, does the bathroom have windows to facilitate ventilation. Dark bathrooms should be avoided as much as possible. If there are no windows, exhaust devices can be installed to reduce the harm of odor and moisture.

2. The bathroom in the master bedroom should not face the bed, because a large amount of water vapor generated by bathing will rush to the bedroom with the air flow, and bedding can easily absorb water vapor, which is bad for the body in the long run.

3. The bathroom should be painted in warm colors, which can create a good mood for people.
