aldora: HDB Resale Flat Journey Part 3: Interior Design

Dream Bathroom

I have shared with you guys my ideas for Kitchen, Living and Dining Area in my previous post @ http://musings-of-a-rabbit.blogspot.sg/2014/08/hdb-resale-flat-idea-part-2-interior.html.

Now, I shall share with you my Bathroom ideas.

Bathrooms

Everybody needs to visit the bathroom and spends a great deal of time inside having a shower, getting ready in the morning, clearing bowels etc (too much info).

To me, an ideal bathroom must be comfortable and provides a conducive ambience for me to shit in it. LOL.

As you know, the bathrooms in HDB Apartments are generally pretty small and hence it is a challenge to squeeze everything you need into the bathroom especially when I have many toiletries :(

Vanity Counter

A Vanity Cabinet is a must as I have many facial products. Also, I need room to store my cleaning supplies as well as towels etc.

I would like my countertop to be made of whit marble to make it look welcoming.

Suspending Vanity Cabinets

How cool will it be when your vanity cabinets are suspending in mid-air?

The reason why I thought of this is due to the ease of cleaning - your cabinets might crumble and rot when come into contact with water right?

Storage for Frequently Used Toiletries

I want my facial cleanser, toothbrush and toothpaste to be accessible at all times (I'm sure Sweetie Muffin wants his hair wax / shaver to be accessible too).

Hence, it will be nice if there is a side cabinet besides the basin area to house all our frequently used products!

To save the hassle, perhaps we can consider building a side shelf using the tiles - it looks sophisticated too :)

Double Basins

As I will be sharing a bathroom with Sweetie Muffin, I was thinking of building 2 basins so that we will not vie for the sink when we get ready in the morning. However, due to spacial constraints, perhaps I should just perish that thought. Meh!

Bowl-like basins

In view of spacial constraints, a bowl basin would be better I think. And cleaning a circular bowl is easier than cleaning a rectangular shaped one in my opinion.

What do you think?

Bowl Basin! Not this colour of course!

Power Socket at the Vanity Area

I need a power socket there to charge our electronic toothbrushes!

Hexagonal Shower Screens

Think out of the box! How nice will it be if the shower area is not squarish! If it is a dome / hexagon, how cool will it look!

Also, this helps to save space and you have a larger area to stretch your legs when you poop.

Storage in the Shower

I am still contemplating whether should I do the racks inside the walls / protruding out like latches.

I prefer in-built though.. But how is the contractor gonna dig a hole in my bathroom walls?

Latching

Rain Shower

This is a must as it spices up my bathroom by leaps and bounds! Whahahaha!

I will not be considering having the rain shower installed on my bathroom ceiling and will be having an external faucet instead for easy maintenance. Also, its more within our budget ;)
