Contrary to popular view of having some private four-walled private room with white walls and white sanitary ware, bathrooms are increasingly becoming more than mere places to wash hands or respond to the natural relieve call but a special place whose design shouldn’t be an after-thought in the house, hotel or office writes Zack Osolo.
Bathrooms make statements. Whenever you think of one, a small white room comes to mind. Within this room, you see a sink, a toilet, a towel rack, a bathtub with perhaps a showerhead, maybe even some cupboards for toiletries. The word doesn’t evoke any kind of awe or wonderment; after all, it’s just a bathroom.
But this room is more than just an after-thought to a house; it’s more a pivotal element of our lives than you might believe. Contrary to popular view, this mild-mannered room is more than merely a place to wash hands or relieve stress. It’s more of an un-acknowledged sun around which our lives orbit.
Homeowner’s show piece
Reinventing your bathroom doesn’t have to be on a large scale. You can just add one fixture at time depending on your budget just as long as you create a soothing and relaxing effect to your bathroom. A well designed bathroom is a homeowner’s show piece, when square footage is no object and the imagination is generous, there is no limit to the options available today for bathroom decorating or remodelling.
Bathrooms are no longer purely functional spaces for cleaning and grooming – they have become “well-being” centres. People enjoy the personal time they spend in the bathroom and expect products which will enhance that experience.
Laxcon, one of the country’s leading building and fittings powerhouses in Kenya hardly shies to note that it has a responsibility to enhance people’s lives and to offer products that satisfy these expectations. To accommodate these expectations, it offers “total bathroom concepts,” – integrated suites of sanitary products that include sinks (wash basins), toilets, mirrors, bath tubs, showers, bathroom furniture and accessories that are simple to operate, reliable and durable.
Variety of accessories
Bathrooms can be dressed up with various bathroom accessories and suits available and after estimating your budget and style, you can embellish your bathroom with a variety of accessories.
For a busy professional there is nothing more reviving than having a warm shower after a stressful day at work to relax the mind and the tired muscles. The installations of corner shower enclosures have become increasingly popular over recent years for many reasons. It can greatly increase the utility levels of a bathroom and of course, having one installed adds more comfort, ambiance, beauty and value to your property as well as decrease the volume of your family’s consumption of water six-fold.
Good investment

The shower enclosures emerge as the classiest fixture that you can have in the bathroom as they make for great bathroom accents. It is a good investment to dive in since you can expect them to last as long as your stay in the house.

Designing your own bathroom would never be as more exciting if you only knew that you are actualizing a unique opportunity to create your own personal oasis. Design is in the details – so why not choose the sanitary fittings first, from ultra modern shapes to timeless classics.
Truly, the bathroom is not just “a room equipped with facilities for taking a bath or shower and usually also containing a sink and toilet,” but really a tiny unassuming room around which our entire lives revolve. The importance of the bathroom cannot be underestimated; after all, what would we do without such a convenient location for so many necessary activities. Make a statement with sanitary ware.
