  • Hey everyone! We’re back to share more about our bathrooms :) The design has been kept simple, focusing on curating a calming liminal space that is easy to maintain. The colour palette of our bathrooms has also been intentionally chosen to ensure consistency with the rest of our home. With that, let’s dive right in to our bathroom tour! :)
  • Our bathrooms were one of the spaces that we completely revamped. Here are some of the key features & decisions that we we made when curating this space! 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁-𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁 + 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁 —> maximises storage (spans the entire available width) —> internal compartments customised to our needs —> minimises exposed surfaces > reduces cleaning —> reduces distance between user & mirror = greater ease when using mirror - we are both myopic, so this is very important when we don’t have contact lens/spectacles on! 🫣 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁-𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗽 —> maximises countertop space (comes in handy when washing & drying multiple items in basin + do not have to worry about accidentally knocking items off countertop) —> water mainly splashes on countertop instead of the floor > keeps dry floor area dry 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻 —> we have heard so many stories about how difficult maintaining a countertop basin in, and wanted to go with an under-mount basin initially. However, it was love at first sight with this basin 🥹 (thankfully, maintenance has been alright!) —> it acts as a centrepiece in our minimalist bathroom! —> it is deep and wide, which is great for washing items
  • 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗳-𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗲 —> houses our shower essentials —> hides our shower essentials from the entrance view > reduces “cluttered” look > minimises urge to get “nice-looking” bottles
  • 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻 (𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗳-𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁) —> fluted = less obvious water marks (we’re really SO glad we went ahead with fluted instead of clear glass :,)) —> half-height = easier maintenance
  • As you can see, the toilet 🚽 in our master bathroom is in a rather awkward position. Hence, many of the decisions made is related to how we designed the space to maximise its ease of use: 𝗙𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗽 —> to ensure we can use our basin comfortably, we flushed the basin to the left! 𝗧𝗼𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗱𝘁𝗵 —> to maximise the space in front of the basin, we tried to choose a toilet bowl that does not protrude out as much as possible 𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗰𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘁 —> there isn’t sufficient space to accommodate casement cabinet doors for our bottom cabinet (unlike our common bathroom) which we wanted to build to maximise storage > sliding doors it is! :) 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 & 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 > 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 —> due to space constraints, we opted for swing & slide door instead of casement door. We were initially worried that we couldn’t find any design that we liked, but so thankful that we managed to find one that matches well with our home!
  • And that’s all for our bathroom tour! :)
