During the renovation process, many people tend to overlook the importance of bathroom design.

However, as a space that is used very frequently in daily life, the decoration design of the bathroom should never be taken lightly. Proper upfront planning can ensure that the post-occupancy experience is comfortable and convenient, while also effectively reducing the burden of housework.

Therefore, this article will introduce five "ingenious designs" suitable for the bathroom, aiming to provide some new ideas for everyone's bathroom decoration. If you're interested, read on.

1. Laundry cabinet

When choosing a location for the washing machine, it is recommended to place the washing machine in the dry area of the bathroom if the bathroom space allows, mainly based on the following considerations:

• 1. The bathroom is already equipped with a drainage system, and it can be used by connecting the drainage pipe when installing the washing machine.

• 2. The dry area environment is relatively dry, which helps to protect the washing machine from moisture.

• 3. After bathing, you can put the dirty clothes into the washing machine for cleaning, which is simple.

When placing a washing machine in the dry area of the bathroom, it is necessary to reserve the appropriate space according to the size of the washing machine to allow the machine to dissipate heat. In addition, areas involving water sources need to be waterproofed, especially the waterproof height of the wall near the washing machine should be sufficient.

Next, we will share three practical laundry cabinet design solutions for reference.

Option 1: Design the laundry table and basin as one, considering that the standard height of the bathroom basin is 86cm and the height of the washing machine is about 0cm, there will be a small height difference between the two, but it will not affect daily use. The laundry counter can be used for cleaning supplies or laundry, and can even be used as an ironing area.

Solution 2: If you want to enhance the storage function of the bathroom, you can customize the storage cabinet above the washing machine to keep the depth of the cabinet consistent with the thickness of the washing machine, so as to improve space utilization.

Option 3: For households that need to use dryers, you can consider stacking the washing machine and dryer on top of each other, which makes it more convenient.

2. Half-height partition cabinet

For smaller restrooms, separating wet and dry can be a challenge. It is advisable to try moving the outside of the dry area to the interior corridor section to invisibly expand the use of the restroom.

Traditional dry-zone relocation designs usually provide a sink along the sanitary partition wall and add a wall on the other side to achieve the partition effect, but this often only has a single partition function.

Therefore, it is recommended to replace the partition wall with a half-height partition cabinet, which can not only divide the space, but also increase the storage space, achieving a combination of aesthetics and practicality.

The height of the partition cabinet should be slightly higher than the sink, about 70cm, so that even the countertop can be used for storage.

The width of the cabinet should not be too wide, preferably no more than 30cm, to avoid appearing bulky. The internal structure is recommended to be designed with sliding drawers for easy access to items.

If you are worried about the overall appearance of the handwashing station, you can add a glass above the partition cabinet, water corrugated glass or Changhong glass is a good choice, they have a high-end appearance and have the characteristics of "light transmission and impermeability".

3. Electric towel rack

In a humid environment in the bathroom, wet towels are prone to bacteria and mold.

It is recommended to install an electric towel rail, which can quickly dry wet towels, reduce bacterial growth and remove odors.

There are many varieties of electric towel rails on the market, and the quality is uneven. It is recommended to choose the multi-rod heating type, which has a heating function on the rack and rail, which is suitable for hanging more towels and clothes.

In terms of heating method, carbon fiber heating is not only safer than water heating, but also more uniform, faster and superior in performance.

Considering the particularity of the humid environment of the bathroom, it is also necessary to pay attention to its moisture-proof and waterproof ability when purchasing an electric towel rack, and preferably the main material is low-carbon steel and the waterproof grade reaches IPX4.

In the stage of water and electricity transformation, the installation location of the electric towel rack should be determined and the three-pin socket should be reserved to ensure its normal use.

Fourth, hang the hook

Despite the limited space in the bathroom, there is a wide range of toiletries for daily use. Bathroom cabinets alone often struggle to meet storage needs.

In fact, a large amount of unused wall space in the restroom can be used as additional storage area. It is recommended to buy hooks and hang common bathroom products on the wall to effectively save floor space.

▲Suction cup hook: Choose a suction cup hook with a traceless design to avoid damaging the waterproof layer of the bathroom. The ordinary suction cup hook can bear about 24kg, which is suitable for hanging basins, brushes, mops, etc. Before installation, it is necessary to ensure that the wall is clean, dust-free and water-free, and avoid hanging objects within 0 hours after installation to ensure firmness.

▲Row hook: The length of the row hook is moderate, it can load multiple items, and it is equipped with 6-0 hooks. The weight capacity is similar to that of a single suction cup hook, so it is not advisable to hang heavy items. It is recommended to install it next to the washbasin so that it is easy to hang towels, rags, etc.

▲Hook behind the door: An invisible hook can be installed behind the bathroom door, which can be opened outward to hang clothes, and it is especially convenient to hang a change of clothes when taking a bath.

5. Side cabinets

For restrooms with limited space, decoration design requires innovative thinking and clever changes to improve the efficiency of space use.

When customizing a bathroom cabinet, you may wish to add a sideboard to its side, and choose an open design to store cleaning supplies, paper drawers, etc., without the need to install an additional paper drawer box.

In terms of details, the bathroom countertop should slightly extend at least 2cm beyond the side cabinet to prevent the water from splashing into the side cabinet.
