How to Design a Bathroom That’s Easier to Clean

A beautiful bathroom is important, but so is having one that’s easy to keep looking its best. When planning a new bathroom, a few clever design choices can reduce the amount of cleaning required and help create a more practical, low-maintenance space.

Choose Wall-Hung Furniture

Wall-hung vanity units and toilets create a cleaner, more contemporary appearance while also making the floor much easier to clean. With fewer awkward areas around the base of furniture, you can quickly mop or wipe underneath.

Consider Larger Tiles

Larger format tiles mean fewer grout lines, which can make walls and floors much easier to maintain. Choosing the right grout colour can also help, as very light grout may show marks and discolouration more quickly in busy areas.

Conceal What You Can

Concealed cisterns and built-in bathroom furniture can create a streamlined finish with fewer pipes, fittings and awkward corners where dust and dirt can collect. As well as being easier to clean, this can make the whole bathroom feel less cluttered.

Think About Your Shower Area

Walk-in showers with simple glass screens have fewer hinges, runners and seals than many traditional enclosures. Shower wall panels can also be a practical alternative to tiles, reducing or even eliminating grout lines within the shower area.

Keep the Layout Simple

The easier it is to reach every area of your bathroom, the easier it will be to clean. Try to avoid small gaps between furniture, toilets and walls that are difficult to access. A well-planned layout can eliminate these awkward spaces before installation even begins.

A Bathroom Designed for Everyday Life

Creating a low-maintenance bathroom doesn’t mean compromising on appearance. In fact, many of the features that make a bathroom easier to clean can also create a modern, streamlined finish.
