Human Scale:
7. Styling in the Bathroom

03/25

    The bathroom is a static room per se, as the water-bearing sanitary products almost invariably dictate the aesthetics of the room.

    However, the bathroom is increasingly becoming a lifestyle bathroom. More and more users are attaching great importance to the interior design and styling the bathroom according to their individual taste. Bathroom planning sets the direction and provides numerous options for re-styling and seasonal decorating. Open spaces for decorating, a tidy look and (colour) changeable wall surfaces are important design elements in the lifestyle bathroom. In addition to cleaning and tidying, styling the bathroom is also on the list of daily activities.

      1. Body Care in the Bathroom

      03/25

      The line between personal hygiene and personal care is blurred, and much of both is part of our everyday routine. Nevertheless, the decisive criterion for personal hygiene is probably the extent of the care activities that we give our bodies over and above the necessary basics - for health care, beauty care or simply because it does us good.
