Any quality designer with experience when asked will tell you that one of the most difficult, but critical to get right rooms in a home is the bathroom. The reasons are many, including the small footprint, exposure to moisture and heat, and the durability factors of many time a day use by multiple individuals for different purposes. A bathroom has to be a well thought out, all around design that does what you want, conveniently, in the space that is available to arrange it within.
Bathroom designs have become increasingly important as a key feature home shoppers look at to see if it is current, trendy, and has creature comforts they seek. An issue such as energy efficiency has to be balanced against temperature comforts, or does it have environment fixtures such as body jets and steam vents that might increase moisture? Location of the bathroom might support an instant hot water heater under the sink as a great addition. If someone with limited mobility or small stature is using the bathroom, concerns about vanity access, safety equipment and toilet height need examined. Style, colors, wall coverings, flooring, and other design elements must all work together with the necessary functions in a bathroom to create a bathroom design for either new construction or remodeling that works and is beautiful.
