It is said that "the kitchen is golden and the bathroom is silver". The bathroom occupies a very small area in a house. However, it has many functions. Washing, bathing, and going to the toilet are the four things we must do every day, "eating, drinking, defecating, and defecation," and half of them must be done in the bathroom.
The bathroom is the wettest functional area in the entire house. Not only must it fulfill many functions, but it must also be kept as clean and ventilated as possible.
When it comes to bathroom design, most people only think about shower area, bathtub, toilet, and sink . The most considered thing is probably the separation of dry and wet areas.
Japanese bathroom: focus on humanized design
However, in Japan, they don’t just consider these when designing bathrooms. I went to visit the Japanese bathroom design once, and I was really surprised as soon as I entered the door. Their bathrooms pay great attention to humanization and are particularly convenient and safe to use.
Compared with our common bathroom " four-piece set " (shower area, bathtub, toilet, sink), Japanese bathrooms also have urinals, lifts, emergency call buttons, seats for the elderly, and children Special seats, special armrests and so on.
In addition, the toilets and showers in Japanese bathrooms are also very unique.
Japanese toilet
Japanese women pay special attention to self-cultivation and face, and their daily life must be elegant enough.
However, the sound of running water in the toilet will make them feel that this is a very ungraceful behavior. If others hear it, it will "lose their face".
Because Japanese toilets have a very magical design, that is, they are equipped with speakers.
Every time he goes to the toilet, he presses a button and plays some light music.
can not only cover up the embarrassing sounds made when using the toilet, but also create a relaxing and comfortable toilet experience, killing two birds with one stone.
Japanese showers
Japanese showers are all sitting-type designs. Such showers are specially designed for the elderly, pregnant women, children, and the disabled.
Sit directly when taking a bath, which can prevent the elderly with inconvenient legs and feet from being tired from standing for a long time, or from accidentally slipping and falling. This is a very safe design of and very user-friendly.
In addition to paying attention to the bathroom design inside the bathroom, the design of the functional area is also attentive.
Multifunctional separation design
When we design bathrooms, most of them are just two-separation designs, that is, separating the shower area from other functional areas to avoid moisture.
Japanese bathrooms will at least have a three-separation design, and some will even have a four-separation design.
four-separated design: the four functions of going to the toilet, washing, bathing, and doing laundry are completely independent. The reason why
does so many separate designs is mainly because of Japanese living habits, but we don’t need to imitate them completely.
If you have the conditions at home, it is recommended to design a three-stage dry and wet separation.
separates the shower area, toilet area, and washing area, so that you can brush your teeth, wash your face, go to the toilet, and take a shower at the same time in the morning without queuing.
However, if you want to achieve three separations, the bathroom area must be at least larger than 4 square meters. If there are two bathrooms in your home, there is no need to design three separations or four separations.
Independently controlled shower area
Because Japanese bathrooms are designed with three or four separations, the shower areas are all independent.
Because the shower area is independent, an integrated control panel will be installed outside the shower room to independently control the shower area.
Because the shower area is the most humid place for bathing, ventilation, ventilation, dehumidification, heating, drying and other series of operations can be independently controlled. Compared with our common bathroom heater ,
is more like an upgraded shower device, more practical and convenient.
Summary
Our family bathrooms are generally not designed like this, and they are basically only found in nursing homes or some high-end places.
However, these humanized designs are very common in Japan, and basically every household is designed like this.
We can think carefully about this kind of humanized design when decorating, whether to add it to our bathroom.
With these designs, going to the toilet and bathing can be more comfortable, safe and secure.
