When designing your powder room, it’s important that you invest just as much as you would in your bathroom because aside from creating a lasting impression on those who visit your home, it’s still a part of your home. So you want it to look as good as possible because it also makes up your entire home’s appeal.

If you can’t afford architects and interior designer to create it for you, here are some tips that will help you build a beautiful one even without the help of professional designers.

1. Flooring
Vitrified ceramic tiles are the one often used in bathrooms or powder rooms because of its water and frost resistance. However, you don’t have to limit yourself to that when it comes to the powder room because the floor will be less likely to be wet. You can also use marble, stone, and granite for alternative and give your flooring some character.

2. Materials, Colors, And Texture
When it comes to the walls, try not to go too crazy because powder rooms usually are smaller. So a busy wall may make it look smaller. What you can do is opt for an overall subtle color. Just add a textured accent wall or art work if you really want to have an embellished wall. Reflective wall helps make the room brighter while light colored natural materials as well as elegant light fixtures all helps give it an elegant appeal.

3. True Beauty Is In The Details
Since the space is small, you can’t do large sanitary wares and fittings, otherwise you’ll end up with a cramped looking powder room. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make it look a certain way. The key is to look for faucet with cascade flow, wall-mounted toilet, or corner sink. Unique details allow you to add visual interest without over-decorating.

4. Choose A Contemporary Wash Basin
Sculptural washbasin, bronze washbasin, and washbasins made up of marble are all options you can choose from that can really make statement. The best thing about them is that they don’t take that much space, just as functional while adding a wow-factor to the room.

5. Value Limited Space
When planning the layout of a half bathroom there are three major objects to consider: the door, toilet, and sink. If you have a space large enough to accommodate the swing of the typical hinged door that will be the easiest option for most powder room designs. Otherwise, you can go with something that has less (or no) swing, like double doors or pocket doors — these will give you more options in terms of the toilet and sink placement. Consider fixtures that can maximize the room’s limited space. Use wall-hung toilets which are minimalist in design and can make the entire room feel spacious. For example, space-saving toilets with slim seat covers are increasingly becoming a trendsetter.

Sanitary Ware For Your Bathroom - wash basin singapore

Your bathroom may be out of other people’s sight but that doesn’t mean you get can get away with carelessly buying just any sanitary ware. It also needs creative input and thorough attention as you would give your bedroom or living room. This is because aesthetics is not the only goal here but to also build a comfortable and functional bathroom.

To achieve that goal, here are some tips that will help your choose the best sanitary ware for your bathroom that suits your needs.

1. Color
If you want your bathroom to reflect your quirky personality, it’s okay to be very creative with different colors of sanitary wares. Just make sure you know how to combine colors that complement each other. Like if yellow/golden would be the accent color that you want, keeping everything else white would be good but powder blue cabinets go well with it too. If you’re not so sure about this, it would be best to stick to white. It’s a safe color, gives your bathroom a classic and elegant appeal.

2. Comfort
Since you’re going to spend money anyway, why not invest on sanitary wares that can make your life a little more comfortable? If you can afford it, invest in a bathtub and a shower that allows temperature adjustment. You’ll thank yourself you did when you’ve had a long day and all your body’s craving for is a long warm bubble bath.

3. Ease Of Cleaning
It would have been convenient if all your sanitary items in your bathroom have a self-cleaning feature. Sadly, that doesn’t exist yet. But until then, think about how easy an item would be to clean before buying them. Otherwise, you’d end up swearing up and down while scrubbing the hell of your bathroom.

4. Size
If your bathroom space is small, you’d better opt for sanitary wares that are on a smaller size because buying big toilet and all of that stuff will make your bathroom look smaller than it is. Though it’s always up to you if you really want big bathtub and other sanitary wares, just don’t say we didn’t warn you when you keep on bumping on everything with your every move.

5. Resistance
While choosing bathroom sanitary ware, two major factors have to be put into consideration. These are the strength and the design. The toilet bowls and bathroom basins should be of a good design and also be strong enough not to chip and break easily. They should therefore have no sharp edges and you should ensure they are well fitted.

Majority of people would prefer to have their own bathroom instead of having a shared one. This is because even if it’s a bathroom shared within family members, there’s still something unnerving about using the same bathroom where other people doing their business there too. Plus having your own means no more waiting in line when you’re already running late.

Because of this, the first time you get your very own bathroom in your first “grown-up” apartment; it’s not surprising if you get carried away with decorating. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong in creating a beautiful bathroom you shouldn’t forget to prioritize important bathroom essentials. Here are some things that your bathroom shouldn’t be without.

1. Good Lighting
A good lighting can make a difference in your bathroom especially if you have a small space. It helps open up the whole space and make it look bigger than it actually is.

2. Good Mirror
Just because your bathroom already has a mirror doesn’t mean you can’t put more. You can always mount a bigger one on one of the walls so you don’t have to grab a stool to step on every time you want to see you entire body. Aside from that, it also gives the illusion of a bigger space and makes your bathroom look brighter too.

3. Good Cleaning Supplies
Your bathroom may be off limits to other people but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t get dirty and breed germs and bacteria. Always have a stock of cleaning supplies in your bathroom so that you can easily clean at least once a week.

4. Good Storage Solutions
There’s no such thing as too much storage (especially if you’re a woman). If you can’t have a lot of cabinetry look beyond the bath stores and consider bedside tables, mini book shelves and étagères with baskets for extra storage. And don’t forget the space behind the toilet!

5. Good Window Treatment
Whether you have a large window or a small one in your bathroom, you should make sure it looks good (meaning it doesn’t look like a grime hive) and it protects your privacy. You don’t want to be exposed to your neighbors while taking a shower right?

6. Toothbrush Holder
This doesn’t seem necessary until your toothbrush falls into the toilet or the floor. Or you catch a cockroach cozily sitting on top of your toothbrush (ewww!) Get yourself a toothbrush holder before this happens to you.

7. Good Smelling Hand Soap
The golden rule is to wash your hands before and after using the restroom. Having nice smelling hand soap or that liquid hand wash in those press dispensers (which are more sanitary to use) should be non-negotiable.

8. Invest In Made-To-Measure Sanitary Fittings And Fixtures
A well-thought-out design can fit all the essentials into as little as two square meters for a bathroom and even less for a shower room. The key is not to squeeze too much in. If you only have a small space, it’s much better to make a focal point of a walk-in shower or a beautiful bath, rather than ending up with a cramped bathroom.

9. Trash Can
You’d be surprised with how much trash you can accumulate in a day. Don’t be that person who has nowhere to dump his trash so it ends up on the sink or counter top. Having a trash can is just easier to maintain a clutter-free space no matter how lazy you are. Plus points if you manage to find one that go with the aesthetic of your bathroom and doesn’t look like a trash can at the same time.
