The bathroom requires special attention during renovation.
At the very least, cleaning here takes more effort and time. In some cases, this is due to poor design decisions.
Expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, designer Yulia Tychino named several ideas that could be disappointing in the long run.
Small tiles
Mosaic tiles look rich and produce the desired effect, but only with proper care.
Grout lines are known to accumulate dirt quite quickly.
The fewer grout lines, the easier it is to keep clean.
Natural stones
Marble and other natural stones add luxury to an interior, but they get dirty easily.
Ceramic tiles also look aesthetically pleasing, but they are easier to maintain.
Glass shower enclosure
If you are thinking about installing a glass shower cabin, you need to be prepared for the fact that it will have to be washed regularly.
Due to limescale, such a cabin will eventually acquire an unaesthetic appearance.
Open shelving
Very often they are the ones that create the illusion of disorder in the bathroom.
If you don’t keep them in order, such shelves will quickly turn into a source of visual chaos.
Insufficient sewer slope
One of the main reasons for frequent blockages and the appearance of unpleasant odors.
Water will not accumulate in the shower if you maintain a slope of three centimeters per linear meter for the pipe (diameter 40–60 mm).
The further the drain is from the sewer riser, the greater the slope of the pipe should be.
