One of the most desired aspects of a home these days seems to be an open concept. Having an open concept is a great way to share spaces with other areas while you are using them. We have all heard of looking for an open concept when checking your kitchen, dining and living room. That means that the walls are not there or they are low walls so that you can see from one space to the next. There are some areas that will be walled off so that you have some aspect of privacy. Although this is a great idea a newer concept is to have an open bathroom. This is not the best plan for your guest bathroom but using it in your master bedroom and bathroom can make a real impact. You want to be sure that you get the plan and layout just right so that is moves together smoothly.
Future Vision Remodeling Outlines What You Need to Know About Creating an Open Concept in Your Master Bathroom
Is Everyone On Board with Open Concept House Plans: The first part of the process is really to talk to who you share your master space with and determine if you both have the same wants. You also need to be sure that you and your partner have the same schedule so that when you are up and getting ready they are not bothered by the noise and movement in the space. There will still be some aspects of the bathroom that are private but you need to be sure that you are okay with the main area to be open and visible throughout the space.
Use a Water Closet Design: When it comes to the bathroom most of the aspects can be open and free throughout the space. The one area that most people do want some privacy is the toilet. You want to be able to do your business with some dignity and that means that you need a separator. There is a great term called the water closet that is used when you have a small area that is walled off in a sense. You can have shorter walls that are more like a dressing room design to close off the space. You can also use light colored panels that are transparent but smoky to give the effect of openness.
How to Stop Moisture & Condensation in Bathroom: The other aspect of a bathroom that we are all known for is steaming up a bathroom after a long shower. The bathroom is a space that tends to cause some moisture to build up. You don’t want all that moisture in the room that can cause your clothes and other materials to wilt down. The way that you combat the moisture is to have a plan to reduce the moisture with some state of the art ventilation system in the space.
