how to renovate the bathroom, what are some good ideas
Although the renovation of the bathroom does not need to be as expensive and elaborate as the living room and bedroom, nor does it need to be too magnificent, it must be designed reasonably. Generally, the space of the bathroom is limited, so we need to reasonably arrange the sanitary ware, sanitary ware, and home appliances that need to be placed in the bathroom in the limited space. We also need to pay attention to many details: material selection, layout, water pipes, circuits, waterproofing, leak-proofing, moisture-proofing, etc.
Pipes: Pipes have water supply and drainage pipes. Both cold and hot water pipes must be considered, as well as the water supply and drainage of electrical appliances such as solar energy and washing machines. Don’t wait until the renovation is completed to find out that there is no place to supply water after putting the washing machine inside. If your original bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, you should also consider whether to reserve a faucet in the bathroom. You can leave a faucet for rinsing mops and cleaning. Don’t be bothered by the trouble. It will be very convenient to use in life by doing it in one go.
Circuit: The circuit mainly considers the reserved wiring ports for lighting, water heaters, washing machines and other electrical appliances. It is best not to connect a power strip in the bathroom. Consider the layout in advance and reserve the wiring ports. Because the bathroom environment is humid, the power strip will easily leak electricity in a humid environment for a long time, causing the tragedy of electric shock. Even if the power strip is used occasionally, there will inevitably be splashes in the toilet. In case of splashes, there is also a chance of leakage, so it is necessary to prevent tragedies from happening. The circuits all need to be chiseled in the wall, so they must be designed before laying wall tiles and floor tiles. It is best to install a leakage protector in the bathroom.
Floor tiles and wall tiles: If you don’t like the bathroom floor tiles that come with your house, you must completely smash them. Don’t smash some and leave some after signing. This will not only be aesthetically pleasing, but also the most important thing is that they are not integrated and the joints will leak. In this way, the neighbors downstairs will definitely come to your house every few days. It is not worth it to soak someone else’s wall to save a few dollars. If you replace new floor tiles, you must thoroughly clean the ground after smashing the floor tiles, and then re-level them. Don’t let the living room and bedroom backflow because of a small mistake, or you may have to do a second rework. After the ground is leveled, the next thing to do is waterproofing, which is very important. Don’t lay small mosaics on the floor tiles, which are too hidden. If the bathroom is open, there will be bath foam, hair, dust and other dirt on the floor tiles in the room, which is difficult to clean. Dirt will aggravate the breeding of bacteria in a humid environment. Try to lay small non-slip floor tiles, such as 40*40 size. Since the wall tiles have been replaced, they must be more beautiful, otherwise what is the point of changing them. In addition, the colors of the wall tiles and floor tiles must match.
Ceiling: Generally, the ceilings on the market are made of aluminum gussets. For home use, aluminum gussets have a longer lifespan than PVC. In addition, aluminum gussets are of good quality, with many shapes on the surface, and the price is not very expensive. In fact, you don’t need to listen to the merchants’ nonsense about thickness. It is not under your feet, so why should it be so thick? Moreover, aluminum gusset ceilings are very simple. You can just measure the size and put it on the keel frame. If the roof leaks, you can take it off to check how thick it is. It is easy to install. PVC is generally integrated. If you want to deal with the problem of roof leakage, you may have to cut a hole, which will affect the appearance.
Bathroom: After the basic operations are completed, it is time to install bathroom, such as toilet, wash basin, integrated bathroom, etc. The original bathroom usually has toilet and wash basin when it is delivered, but the quality may be poor, or it may not match the family renovation style. Most families choose to replace, and if they are changing, they will replace it with a better one. The wash basin I bought is an integrated one, with a dressing mirror on the top and a small kitchen below. It is not only beautiful but also saves space. Behind the dressing mirror is a small cabinet 20 cm wide, which can be used to store some skin care products, and the small cabinet under the countertop can be used to store some bathroom supplies. It is best to choose a countertop that is embedded in the cabinet, which is beautiful and not easy to bump. Don’t choose a floor-standing cabinet, which is convenient for dealing with problems such as pipe blockage and water leakage.
Electrical appliances: water heaters or solar energy, washing machines, hand dryers, bathroom heaters, ventilators and other electrical appliances should be installed together. The washing machine should not be too close to the bathing area. The washing machine may be splashed by water, causing the swimsuit to rust and leakage. The hand dryer should be installed next to the sink for easy use. It is recommended that if the community allows the installation of solar energy, it must choose solar energy, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Bathroom heaters and ventilators can be considered directly when installing the ceiling. If you want to purchase them yourself and have them reserve a place, you can also have the ceiling installed at the same time.
Wall cabinets: If the bathroom space allows, it is best to make two small cabinets for storage, because there are a lot of basins of all sizes in the house, such as wash basins, foot basins, laundry basins, and children’s bath basins, not to mention the messy things. The wardrobe in the bedroom must be used to store clothes and quilts, and the shoes are stuffed under the bed. Where to put some messy sundries? So you have to use the space reasonably. It is very messy and unsightly to put them outside. It is much more comfortable to put them in the cabinet.
