Dual Bathroom Design – The New Battle of the Sexes
The manner in which we approach bathroom design varies from person-to-person since we all have our own unique taste. When it comes to building or remodeling for his and her bathrooms conflict may arise in styles and construction. Perhaps he may want that so desired steam shower for that relaxing sauna affect and she want that well-appointed comfort of a whirlpool bath. Real Estate professionals concur that there is a growing trend in the two master suite bathroom concept in residential homes for a more personal bathing experience.
In most homes there is only one master bathroom, so who wins the battle? Well according to Enterprise Home Remodeling design experts, usually the female and male either gets the bathroom down the hall or a new master bath is custom built to his liking. Masculine bathrooms tend to be more monochromatic with a bathroom suite to include a conventional wall cabinet, an oversized wall mounted sink and push button toilet for simplicity. For the feminine bathroom most often encrusted with soft pastels, candles, plants and lavish works of art to adorn the walls. Hers may also include heated towel racks, layered lighting, sconces, wall mirrors with built in recessed lighting and a surface mounted basin.
Dual Bathrooms
Another design concept for his and her bathrooms is to turn the existing master suite bath into a dual room. Before doing so decide on how much space is required for this type of layout. Do you want a single free standing walk-in shower with a separate bath which is both practical and functional for a dual bathroom? Since two people share the same space, dividing the room into compartments allows the couple to share the bathroom while allowing the privacy factor to be maintained. In this type of setting you can include two bathing facilities and two separate basins or an extended bathroom vanity with two basins, toilets that are portioned off with a full wall or half-wall.
