We’re all different, and that means that our homes are going to be designed in different ways. This includes your bathroom, and you should consider designing your bathroom to match your specific personality. What do we mean by this?
Well, we use our bathrooms in different ways. Some of us like to get in and get out without a moment to spare, eager to start the day. Others enjoy spending long hours soaking, bathing and generally lavishing in luxury. For some, the bathroom is more like a powder room, the perfect space for getting ready for a night out and for others it’s just somewhere you have to go to get washed in the morning and to brush your teeth at night.
Many people will need a bathroom to match a few different requirements. If you’re not emotionally attached to your home, you probably want to make sure that the bathroom is accentuated as one of the best features of your property. If you’re planning on staying in your home for a long time, you might be more interested in adding some luxurious and awesome, expensive additions.
You can probably start to see now how you could build your bathroom design to match your unique personality or individual requirements. But, let’s dive a little deeper into this issue by checking out some of the unique features and design possibilities to match each type of bathroom user.
The Late Riser And Snooze Button Lover
Do you constantly feel as though you are in a rush everywhere you go? That’s probably because you love sleeping in and getting as close to deadlines as possible. This means that you won’t have time to spend hours in your bathroom. You probably think that this means a wash can’t be an enjoyable experience but actually it can be and what you should be doing is focusing your bathroom design more on the shower and less on the bath. An individual like you never has time for a bath anyway so it should all be about the shower.
The good news is that since you don’t take many baths, you can use the water elsewhere and get a more powerful pump for the shower. This will give you a gorgeous foamy jet of hot water when you’re getting washed. Are you on a healthy living kick? You can buy shower heads with minerals built in. The water passes through these before it hits your body giving you an extra dose of nutrients for the skin. That’s right, you don’t have to do anything, and you’ll still be doing something that benefits your body.
If you are spending more time in the shower than the bath, make sure that you have space in there for everything you need. When you’re designing your shower, you should include a shelf where you can keep all the necessary moisturisers and soaps for a good morning scrub.
The Night Time Bather
Of course, other people prefer to bathe in the evening because then they have more time to relax and enjoy a long soak. If you fit firmly into this category and love grabbing a glass of wine before diving into a tub filled with bubbles we have a few tips for you. Naturally, in this case, your bathtub should be the centrepiece of the bathroom. You can buy a Helixbath acrylic bathtub that is freestanding and looks fantastic in the centre of a room.
These deep tubs are perfect for relaxing and are ideally shaped so that you can lie back while resting your head on the side. Get a towel for the back of your head, and it can be just as comfortable as lying in bed.
Of course, if you want to add a little more to this type of experience, you can also think about adding some underwater jets. These aren’t quite as expensive as you would think and will make any bath feel more like a jacuzzi.
The Sensual Lover Looking For A Soothing Treat
For some people, the bathroom is more a place of relaxation and can be almost sensual. Well, that can certainly be the case with the right design ideas and let’s start with lighting. Don’t opt for the tradition lighting choices if you want the bathroom to be a place where you can unwind and unravel, getting the knots out of your back. Instead, consider opting for lights that can be dimmed and if we are going ultra modern, perhaps even consider voice control for the lighting. That why you can dim the lights as you please without even leaving the tub.
Different accessories will help here too of course. For instance, you can think about getting some incense sticks. Add these to a shelf in your bathroom, light them and let the beautiful aromas create an incredible atmosphere in the room as you enjoy a long soak.
You can even get waterproof speakers for the bathroom but if you take things that far you might never want to leave!
The ‘I’ll Be Five Minutes’ Crew
Do you say you’ll be five minutes and actually spend a couple hours getting ready, driving your partner insane in the process? These people need a great place to prepare, and the bathroom can fit the bill with a modern vanity unit. These can look stunning as part of the bathroom design and provide everything you need including storage space for all of your accessories.
You can even go further than that by adding something else to the design of the bathroom – a full-size wall mirror. With this, you’ll be able to get a complete look of the outfit you have chosen and your makeup under bright bathroom lights. These are totally affordable and can be purchased as well as installed in any bathroom.
As you can seen then, you can build a bathroom design around your own sensibilities and lifestyle choices. If you do this, we think you’ll love this area of your home even more.
