Comfort In The Bathroom

As one of the most frequented spaces in the home, the bathroom should be designed for functionality and durability. One component that is most used (and some may argue abused) is the toilet.

This essential fixture is constantly being modified to better serve users. Automated flushing, self-cleaning capabilities and even sensor-controlled toilet seats are some of the latest advancements.

Toilet manufacturers are also taking considerations like smaller home sizes and water sustainability to heart. Shorter toilets with built-in sinks are such examples of new designs created for the small home.
