The Ubiquitous Bathroom

by diysuper on Jan.25, 2012, under Bathrooms, DIY Tips, Interior Design

There is no such thing as a typical bathroom.  Bathroom furniture comes in all shapes and sizes, and in many different materials, from traditional porcelain through to flash Italian marble or contemporary glass and chrome.  Some bathrooms are based around the bath.  Either free standing and set in the middle of the floor, perhaps with the novelty of claw feet or in the more commonplace style of a boxed in rectangular bathtub, set against one wall.

Though a bath lends itself to a long, hot soak, a lack of time often makes it is more desirable to be able to make use of a shower, for quick, efficient hygiene solutions.  However, not everybody prefers to wash standing up, and a bath will always be the mainstay of an efficient bathroom, although very small closet-type bathrooms may only contain a shower unit, and not have a bath at all.  This is the smallest bathing solution of all.

If you have the luxury of lots of space, then you may have a complete wet room for an exhilarating all over body wash, maybe complete with water jets and a supersize showerhead.  However you choose to groom yourself to get clean and to get ready to go out, a bathroom will always be the go-to room in your household for the purposes of personal hygiene.  In the 20th century, a bathroom became standard fare in all-British housing, and it is an everyday luxury we can no longer do without.
