How to arrange the bathroom reasonably? What are the requirements for bathroom arrangement?

We all know that the bathroom is an important place in the home and a place that needs to be decorated. There are many things to pay attention to and pay attention to when decorating the bathroom, especially the layout of the bathroom. So how should the bathroom be arranged? Let's take a closer look!

How to arrange the bathroom

The bathroom is usually arranged with reference to the location of the water supply and drainage in the bathroom. The initial architectural plumbing design generally takes into account the normal use needs and can be arranged according to the original architectural design. Generally, no modification of the sewer pipes is done.

1. Starting from the bathroom door, there are usually wash cabinets and washing machines at the entrance, and toilets and showers in the back. Whether the bathroom is rectangular or square, the inside is usually the wet area and the outside is the dry area. Other mop pools are usually arranged in the back next to the shower area.

2. Dry and wet separation layout. Usually, the wash cabinet is placed outside the bathroom, or it is separated from the shower and toilet to improve the use efficiency of the bathroom. The dry and wet separation wash cabinet and washing machine are usually placed outside. The shower and toilet are inside. In the case of three separations, the main functions of the shower, toilet, and wash are separated. Independent space, independent use. Four separations are generally to add a laundry and dressing room.

3. For ordinary bathrooms, the functional layout is arranged against the wall. There is a traffic space in the middle, and the activity space can be used. Consider the activity space of sanitary ware when arranging. Generally, the toilet needs to leave 20-35 cm of activity space on the left and right, and a walkway in front. The shower occupies about 1 square meter or more, and the narrowest long one is not less than 75 cm.

How to arrange the bathroom

Since bathrooms often have various shapes, it is necessary to divide the areas according to local conditions in the actual bathroom layout.

Regular shaped bathroom layout

For a square bathroom, all four walls can be used. The shower area is placed in a corner of the inner space, and the toilet and wash basin are placed on both sides of the door, leaving space in the middle. The other side spaces can be used for storage functions such as towel racks, wall cabinets, and shelves.

In a rectangular bathroom, the washbasin, toilet and shower area can be arranged in sequence.

Irregular shaped bathroom layout

In addition to square shapes, bathrooms also tend to have various irregular shapes. For irregular bathrooms, in addition to planning reasonable traffic lines based on the frequency of use of each area, it is also necessary to make full use of various irregular positions. For example, placing the toilet or wash basin in the concave part of the wall can avoid wasting space. The protruding wall can be made into a niche to increase storage function.

Bathroom lighting

For bathroom lighting, first of all, we should make effective use of natural light. Natural light is the most effective and cheapest lighting, so windows should be located to avoid being blocked to ensure smooth light. Blinds and frosted glass can be used to ensure privacy. In addition, frosted glass or three-dimensional grid glass for bathroom doors can also increase lighting needs.

Secondly, if the natural light is insufficient, sufficient lighting must be provided to supplement it. Usually, ceiling lights are used as the main lighting in the bathroom, and some supplementary light sources are arranged in places such as makeup mirrors. A good lighting atmosphere can make the entire space appear more unobstructed and open.

Bathroom related items

The items involved in the bathroom of a general commercial house are: toilet, toilet paper box, toilet brush, storage rack, wall hooks, bathroom heater, shower head, toiletries, towels, mirrors, etc. Due to the house type, the internal space of the bathroom is small, and the bathroom involves three functions: bathing, convenience, and washing. These items naturally need to be reasonably regulated. There is also a partition between the bathroom and the toilet, which separates dry and wet areas. Some are also equipped with glass doors for overall partition. These are the items involved in the bathroom.

Placement Order

Generally, there is a dressing table after you open the bathroom door, and a toilet next to it. On one side of the toilet is a toilet paper box, and on the other side is a toilet brush. There is a shelf above the toilet with some towels, bath towels, shampoo, shower gel and other toiletries on it. This is the order of placement in a small space.

The slightly larger ones have a glass partition door in the middle, with toiletries placed inside the partition door and a rack for bathing and changing clothes outside. There is a bathroom heater and a bathtub on the top, and a shower head or shower head on the side, etc.

For ease of use, most of the arrangements are in the order of toilet and bathroom. Some dressing tables are outside the bathroom, and some are inside. We will not talk about dressing tables here.

Layout points

How to arrange the bathroom depends on the size of the owner's house. If the house is spacious, the placement can be more particular. If the house is small, you need to be careful. For example, the toilet is the most frequently used item in the bathroom, so the toilet should be placed in an obvious, quick and practical position. The second thing is toilet paper. It is recommended to place the toilet paper box as close to the toilet as possible, because you need to use paper after going to the toilet. There is also a storage rack. When taking a shower, you need to put clothes on the clothes rack. It is best to have a partition door in the middle, because the partition can prevent clothes from getting wet, so that dry and wet can be separated.

This is a more common layout method. Of course, when there are elderly people at home, portable toilet tools can also be set up for their convenience. For example, if the elderly do not like to sit on the toilet, these need to be carefully considered when arranging the bathroom.
