The bath here is the central and defining piece in this bathroom.
If we have the luxury to allocate the facilities how
we like, a symmetrical design offers many opportunities. In this scenario, we are able to separate all the 4 main bathing routines from each other whereby the basin serves as the entry hall, flanked by large mirrors to expand the space even more. The bathtub serves as a central circulation node where it centers itself within the whole area allowing the ritual of bathing to adopt a holistic effect. The shower and WC areas may be placed at one side to separate it from the dressing zone, thereby creating dry and wet zones. Similarly, the use of colours and timber accents help to break up the white wash walls and furniture colours. But at the same time, it creates a sophisticated and classy look. Likewise, the use of glass mosaic on the floor serves a dual purpose where it not only breaks up the marble but allows a rougher walking surface for safety.
The Dressing Room The adjacent dressing room is equally important. Some of us may be so used to concealing our clothes in cabinets and drawers that it transforms into a habit of hiding away our things, which then leads to clutter being accumulated within our home. If we design our dressing area similar to a clothing
boutique concept, we display our clothing and accessories in open view, thereby forcing ourselves not to accumulate clutter. At the same time, it creates a new way of living.
74 FENGSHUIWORLD | JULY/AUGUST 2011
Closets with no doors avoids clutter building up, which helps to maintain good feng shui.
By being able to view all your clothes in a single glance, it makes it easier for you to dress and prepare for each day.
By introducing the showcase concept into the dressing
area, this also allows you to organize your clothes in a neatly arranged manner, whereby every item of clothing is placed in its proper location, allowing the user to become more effective and decisive. Therefore, when we design these ancillary spaces
around the home, it is important to think of how we want to live, and consider the effect of the design on the way we live, think and organize our lives. Look at the function of the space, identify how best to make that function fit, and think outside the box using materials, design, colours and space to create the lifestyle you want.
