Bathroom Trivia

A bathroom is a room that may have different functions depending on the cultural context it is used in.

In its literal sense it means 'a room with a bath', but as bathtubs have partly made way for showers and steam showers, the more general sense of 'a room where one bathes' makes more sense. There can be just a shower or just a bathtub or both, sometimes combined and sometimes separate (in which case the bathtub may have a second shower). Usually, it also contains a handbasin or sink and often also a toilet. In the USA, 'bathroom' commonly means 'a room containing a toilet' (in other countries this is usually called 'toilet' or alternatively 'water closet' (or 'WC'), or 'lavatory'). For this interpretation of the word see bathroom (American). If a bathroom facility is attached to a bedroom it is often known as an en-suite or if it's attached to a master bedroom it's known as a master bathroom.

A half (1/2) bath contains a toilet and a handbasin (lavatory). A 3/4 bath contains a toilet, a handbasin (lavatory) and a shower. A full bath contains a toilet, a handbasin (lavatory) and a bathtub.

Design considerations

The design of a bathroom must account for the use of both hot and cold water, in significant quantities, for cleaning the human body. Disposal of the water usually leads to a sewer or septic tank. Water may be splashed on the walls and floor and hot humid air may cause condensation on cold surfaces. From a decorating point of view the bathroom presents a challenge. Ceiling, wall and floor materials and coverings should be impervious to water and readily and easily cleaned. The use of ceramic or glass, as well as smooth plastic materials, is common in bathrooms for their ease of cleaning. However, such surfaces are often cold to the touch and so water-resistant bath mats or even bathroom carpets may be used on the floor to make the room more comfortable. Alternatively, the floor may be heated, possibly by startegically placing heater conduits close to the surface.

Electrical appliances, such as lights, heaters and heated towel rails generally need to be installed as fixtures, with permanent connections rather than plugs and sockets. This minimises the risk of electric shock. Ground-fault circuit interruptor electrical sockets can reduce the risk of electric shock, and are required for bathroom socket installation by electrical and building codes in the United States and Canada. In some countries, such as the UK, only special sockets suitable for electric shavers are permitted in bathrooms, and are labelled as such.

Bathrooms can also be a source of decorative inspiration. One can easily decorate the bathroom by choosing shower curtains or cubicles to match a theme.




Home Improvement Information

Improving Your Bathrooms Appearance can be as Simple as Changing Your Bathroom Cabinets


Your choice of bathroom cabinet can affect the look and feel of your entire room. If your bathroom could benefit from a fresh new look, then consider replacing your old storage cabinets with stylish new ones. This is a relatively easy way of giving your bathroom a facelift, compared to the work involved to install a new shower stall or bathtub. Cabinets can easily be fitted to your wall without the need for messing about with your plumbing!

When it comes to choosing a style for your new cabinets, the possibilities are huge. It helps if you have a vague idea of the sort of look you're after. For example, would you prefer a modern, country or old fashioned look? But if you don't know where to start, the internet is a great place to browse a wide range of products from different manufacturers, without the inconvenience of visiting the stores in person. You are sure to find loads of inspiration and handy hints online.

These days medicine cabinets are designed to hold a lot more than just bottles of pills! There are lots of useful features to choose from, all aimed at making life easier for you. In addition to shelving, modern bathroom cabinets can be equipped with all kinds of facilities, from door racks to hidden compartments. It all depends on your individual needs and what kind of items you want to store in your cabinets. Extra storage space for toiletries, to help keep your worktops clutter free, can be a wonderful asset. Cabinets can also hold larger items, from towels to appliances like shavers and hair driers.

Cabinets can stand on your floor or be mounted on your walls, depending on how much space you have and your bathroom's layout. Traditionally, there's always a cabinet above the sink, usually with a mirror on the door. But nowadays people tend to have loads of accessories cluttering up the place, so it can be really useful to have several cabinets in the bathroom. As well as offering a practical storage solution to keep your bathroom tidy, your cabinets can look great too.

So, if you like the sound of an elegant looking, clutter free bathroom, what are you waiting for? Get shopping for some cabinets!
