In the era of globalization bathroom design ideas should take into account various cultural priorities. Before the Olympic Games were held in Beijing in 2008 a special project was put into operation to make public bathrooms acceptable to the masses of foreigners who were expected. In a very short time research had been done and acceptable mold free, light and essentially clean facilities were in place. A global event had beneficial effects on a local community.
Traditionally whole streets in poorer Chinese communities shared a pretty disgusting bathroom and toilet area. As a result many people did not bath much at home but instead frequented public bath houses where they could enjoy an evening or even a whole night of pampering and cleaning.
After surrendering shoes and clothes on entry men and women enter gender specific bathing areas After showering they can soak in very large pools of varying temperature and an attendant is on hand to give people who dare a very thorough and public scrubbing. Toiletries such as tooth brushes are included in the fee. After bathing patrons can indulge in a massage, meal and even a sleep if so desired.
The responses of western patrons to Chinese bath houses could be the subject of farce or satire. Some would be supercilious and others embarrassed. Such attitudes could reveal ignorance of the philosophy behind the bath houses. Those patrons who enjoy the experience could perhaps accept the notion that bathing should be a nexus of relaxed and enjoyable sensations.
Many bathrooms in England were so small in the past that large people had to bend their heads and move sideways to fit in. Bathing was accomplished entirely is some sort of crouching position. Expanse is one thing that can be imported from Chinese bath houses where stretching out the body is important. Even when physical space is limited effects can be created with the use of tiling, mirrors and ergonomically shaped fixtures. Windows might also be used to created the effect of garden features coming into the bathroom when conditions allow for it.
Another thing is a massage bed that fits under a shower. If an attendant is not available to give a cleansing shower massage it is a possibility that one's partner might be persuaded to do the honors on a bartering arrangement. A thorough scrubbing with the whole body stretched out under cleansing water will leave the skin feeling as soft and clean as a baby's.
Another good idea comes from the Middle East and other territories where bathrooms include hose pipes with nozzles sprays for cleaning the private parts after defecation. Using the sort of toilet paper that is used in the West is considered pretty disgusting over large parts of the world. A bit of thought might suggest to many people that the toilet paper industry is rather dubious when compared with the water cleaning methods preferred in the Orient.
The Internet is an important forum for gaining excellent bathroom design ideas. Arrays of images give home owners wonderful ideas of what is available and at what prices. Online research can help a person get a very good idea of how to create a relaxing ambiance even when space is limited.
