What To Consider When Designing A Bathroom

Designing the bathroom is a big task. After all, the pressure comes from the desire to create an aesthetically pleasing personal space for revitalisation. For some guidance on what to do, AXOR and hansgrohe are sharing some tips you can easily follow:

1. Site conditions

Prevent unnecessary purchases of unsuitable products by checking the site first. One thing to look out for is water pressure so you can determine the size of the overhead shower. This way, you can ensure optimal performance of the products you will install.

Another important factor is the existing shower connections. Are the hot and cold water connections exposed in the bathroom? If yes, it would mean that installing the beautiful overhead shower would likely require the hacking of walls, which may not be ideal for you. The wiser choice would be installing a showerpipe system which combines an overhead shower and a handshower.

2. Space constraints

While it’s great to have a large bathtub for a relaxing soak, it may not fit in a bathroom inside a small apartment unit. However, you don’t have to compromise the showering experience in terms of design or technology. Smart space-saving bathroom products are available on the market, like the hansgrohe ShowerSelect Glass and the hansgrohe ShowerTablet Select 300 and 700, allowing you to embrace space constraints to create beautiful and minimalist bathroom solutions.

Meanwhile, if you want to eliminate all the complicated controls and in turn save space, consider AXOR One. Control water temperature, water volume and switch between three outlets with one single minimalist control, without additional complicated controls.

3. Accessibility in the bathroom

If you’re living with different generations in your home, think about the needs of the elderly and the young when designing the bathroom. To provide support and stability, try the hansgrohe Unica Comfort shower bars which double as sturdy grab handles.

4. Water-saving features 

It’s high time for you to consider the efficiency of the products in an effort to reduce wastage of water. Hansgrohe’s EcoSmart technology makes it possible for the products to require less water compared to conventional products. You can watch out for Green versions of hansgrohe products as well.

5. Functionality

Try to be more discerning about the products to install in the bathroom, explore innovative and smart technologies that enrich your showering experience. Products that are easy to install and work seamlessly with other items are good investments.

Another innovative feature to explore is the AirPower, which injects air into water, making the water droplets plumper and softer on the skin as well as QuickClean which allows for the removal of any limescale with a gentle rub on the shower nozzles.

6. Design

While you’re at it, consider the design of the shower products as well to know if you want to go with a theme. For example, if you want to channel the defining era of the 1920s, fit your bathroom with AXOR Monrteux. it delivers the highest qualitative standards and pays tribute to the technological advancements of the age, without compromising comfort.

7. Authenticity and warranty of bathroom products

Keep careful watch on possible imitation goods that appear on trusted websites. To be on the safe side, purchase directly from the websites of the manufacturers or authorised dealers. What’s more, being careful of where you purchase bathroom products is not only to ensure their authenticity, but also to enjoy the warrant provided by manufacturers.
