Proper bathroom planning: In residential buildings

From setting objectives and taking current trends into account to barrier-free design and lighting planning – careful bathroom planning for private homes is crucial in order to meet the individual needs of users and create a modern, comfortable bathroom.

In recent years, the bathroom has evolved from a purely functional sanitary room to a multifunctional space that increasingly serves as a private spa and oasis of well-being. When planning a bathroom, numerous aspects must be taken into account in order to meet all requirements and create a pleasant atmosphere. The first step is to define the specific usage requirements. Some people want to make the most of a small bathroom on the ground floor, while others want to transform a large bathroom upstairs into a luxurious spa. In this context, it is important to consider barrier-free design for older and disabled people or the planning of a multi-generational bathroom.

Form, function, and responsibility

Whether it's a private spa or a small bathroom, bathroom design is subject to very pragmatic requirements such as easy and time-saving cleaning of all areas, seamless transitions, and durable and robust materials such as sanitary ceramics, Rimless® toilets, or DuraShield® antibacterial glaze. Sustainable solutions for toilets, urinals, and bathtubs also help to save water without compromising on comfort. For example, the majority of Duravit faucets are water-saving as standard. Storage space and shelf space are also important considerations: Duravit bathroom furniture helps to keep the bathroom tidy. In addition to functional aspects, design is a decisive factor: as a complete bathroom manufacturer, Duravit not only offers a wide variety of product series from renowned designers, but also perfectly coordinated solutions, both functional and aesthetic. Everything from a single source with a high quality promise – for well-thought-out bathroom planning with just one contact person.

Until old age

An important aspect of bathroom planning is barrier-free design. Many people want to live in their own homes into old age. In many countries, there are recommendations for barrier-free design in homes, including bathrooms – such as DIN 18040-2 in Germany. Shower toilets such as the SensoWash® models from Duravit offer maximum comfort with comprehensive functions in a purist design.

Circadian lighting

Lighting design plays a central role in bathroom design. Well-thought-out lighting not only improves the atmosphere, but also supports the biorhythm of users. Bathroom designers should integrate circadian lighting into their designs to increase living comfort. Duravit wall mirrors offer a wide range of options, from ambient lighting to sensor control.

The most important aspects of bathroom planning in private homes:

  • Individual interior design – tailored to personal needs and design preferences
  • Flexible zoning – plan open or closed solutions depending on your living situation
  • Material selection with a feel-good factor – high-quality, durable, and easy-care materials for the best results
