The 3 Basic Elements of Bathroom Design
Bathroom Renovations
Whether updating bathroom design with new fixtures or doing a tear-out and complete bathroom renovation, homeowners should consider three elements:
* Type
* Style
* Color
What Type is Right for You?
Three basic types of a bathroom are guest bathroom (property services ), family, and master bath. A guest bathroom or powder room is designed for visitor use. They can be as small as 20 sq. ft. and normally have just a toilet and vanity. If a shower is included, more space is necessary and it is called a three-quarter bath.

A family bathroom requires more space, and is usually located close to the bedroom areas of the home. It is used by multiple family members, and usually contains larger amounts of storage space for linens, toiletries, supplies, etc.
A typical family bath would include at least one toilet and vanity sink, (some have multiples) and a tub and shower. Family bathrooms used by small children should have special safety features and be designed for easy adaptations as children grow. Fixtures and finishes should be low maintenance, with highly durable materials such as ceramic tile.
