Your bathroom can speak volumes – when you meet the perfect middle ground between practicality and elegance. His and hers bathrooms are becoming increasingly popular, and if you’re looking forward to a bathroom renovation, this addition can add value to your home. We’ve compiled some considerations for creating his and hers bathroom that you will be proud of.
Space utility
The first consideration for a bathroom renovation or installation is its use. Is a bathroom just a bathroom? No, it isn’t. A perfect bathroom should be practical without compromising uniqueness. For instance, if you love how a bathtub addition looks but will never get around to using it, it’s better left out.
Double the shower head
Your bathroom’s layout and plumbing system will determine where to place your double shower head. Decide whether you would prefer your showers next to or across from one another. Also, contemplate your home’s inhabitants. Do you have kids or pets? Incorporating a shower hose is advisable for their wash time.
Neutral colour palette
You and your partner could spend hours, if not days deciding on the best colour. It only makes sense as you both have different tastes. However, agreeing on more neutral hues could save you trouble. Start by minimising your colour choices, then add bursts of colour using towels or other décor items for liveliness.
Shelving behind the mirrors
If you’re running out of storage, you may be in a dilemma between a shared mirror or two mirrors. Adding two mirrors could be a great idea if there is no below-bench storage. You can also increase your storage space by adding shelving behind your mirrors.
A large basin
There are two options: Have one basin, which should be big enough for sharing or opt for two individual basins. As expected, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Two separate basins are great for maintaining personal space but result in less bench space. On the other hand, one large basin allows for more bench space. Before making the decision, the utility of your space can point you in the right direction. For instance, do you spread your items as you get ready in the morning? Or are you better off keeping most of these prep items in the cupboard to pick them out only when the need arises? Since this is a his and hers bathroom, engaging your partner is best.
Don’t forget the toilet
It can be a cause of disagreement for many. Is the toilet better in the bathroom, or should it be a separate structure? Remember your plumbing location determines what is possible and what is not. If you dislike the bathroom/toilet idea but can’t do away with it, incorporating a half wall at the centre can add some privacy.
Conclusion
A bathroom is an essential section of any home and should be given considerable attention during installation and renovation is necessary. Remember that working with a reputable bathroom renovation company is best to ensure everything is done right for optimum value, safety, and durability.
