Bathroom design: planning, waterproofing and lighting
A successful bathroom combines ergonomics, water protection, ventilation and maintenance access.
Details that prevent future repairs
Planning and dimensions
Check every fixture with real use clearances and door openings. Coordinate niches and furniture with concealed services.
Technical layers and ventilation
Falls, waterproofing and seals matter more than tile format. Keep access to traps, filters and valves, and verify ventilation technically.
Light, finishes and maintenance
Combine general light with effective mirror light and wet-area-rated fittings. Reduce difficult joints and select easy-clean surfaces.

Critical checks
- Test services before closing walls.
