The bathroom is a space that is frequently used in our home but undergoes little change. It is crucial for ensuring the comfort and experience of the occupants after the entire renovation. So today, let's have a casual discussion about bathroom decoration matters and share our efforts to create a beautiful and functional bathroom.
First of all, we need to get the specifications of the bathroom door right. There is no fixed specific value for it. Generally, bathrooms are adjacent to the rooms, but remember, the door of the bathroom must not be higher than that of the room.
Additionally, the standard size for the bathroom door opening is 76 to 78 centimeters. This means that the bathroom door panel is approximately 70 centimeters wide. This is a reasonable size. It would be inconvenient or unattractive if it were too narrow or too wide.
Here is a reminder: Just like all the doors, when installing the bathroom door, it is best to leave a small wall protrusion along the wall surface as well. This allows the door frame to have a place to anchor, which is called connection. This way, it looks nice and is also safe. Some homes have a flat wall surface. You can ask the mason to build a small wall protrusion. Otherwise, you won't be able to seal the opening in the future.
Secondly, it's important to choose the right type of glass. Currently, oil-sand glass doors are popular in bathrooms, and double-sided oil-sand is recommended. Otherwise, the glass would be too transparent and you would be able to see through it from the outside when using the toilet or taking a bath. That would be extremely embarrassing! Thirdly, choose the right door frame and the edge treatment. For the door frame, opt for a minimalist design with a width of approximately 4 centimeters. This will make it look very simple. However, I generally don't recommend choosing black as it would contrast too strongly with the wall and be too conspicuous. Instead, choose moonlight gray, which is really versatile.
The drainage system is crucial when renovating the bathroom.
The bathroom is inherently an area for water usage, with a humid environment and the risk of water overflow. Given this situation, the drainage setup in the bathroom becomes extremely crucial.
First, even if the bathroom does not have a dry and wet separation, it is advisable to install a floor drain under the base cabinet of the bathroom vanity. This is an insurance measure. One advantage is that it facilitates drainage in case of leakage, and the other is that it serves as an inspection port, preventing blockages in the wall drain and facilitating maintenance and backup.
Secondly, the bathroom cabinet is installed with wall drainage. Wall drainage can save space below the cabinet. Without the obstruction of the drain pipe, items such as the basin can be placed underneath the cabinet, which is convenient for storage and also aesthetically pleasing. When installing wall drainage, there are a few points to note: For example, the drain pipe under the bathroom cabinet must be at a 45-degree angle to ensure smoother water flow. Some people say a 90-degree angle looks better, but we won't argue about that. But can we see it? When the bathroom cabinet door is closed, what can you see? ； For example, the pipe openings of the wall riser must be higher than the wall surface. This point needs to be noted carefully. When gluing the tiles, many bricklayers may cut off the drain pipes. They do this out of kindness to make the appearance look better. However, after cutting, when the bathroom cabinet drain pipes are inserted into the pipes, there is no good sealing around, which can easily cause the smell to spread and re-odorize.
