Bathrooms: Easy-Clean Spaces

Of all the rooms in your home, the bathroom gets filthy the fastest. The constant exposure to moisture and steam, leaky lotions, loose locks and splashes means you may feel like you spend more time cleaning the bathroom than enjoying it. “An easy-clean bathroom is essential for having a home that enhances your lifestyle, not detracts from it,” says Coco Tully, interior designer for Cote Interiors. “It’s not all aesthetics either: bathrooms that are difficult to clean often grow fungi like mould and mildew, which can be detrimental to our health.” A good bathroom layout, well-considered surfaces and smart storage – as in this design by KWD – will work wonders to cut your cleaning time, plus save you money by reducing the number of cleaning products you’ll need.
