Design Approach

  • Easy-clean surfaces are paramount for a shared family bathroom

  • A shower screen (instead of curtain) keeps the space looking neater and larger

  • Good ventilation is critical in Singapore's humid climate — maximise window opening or add exhaust fan

  • Hooks on the back of the door add storage without taking any floor or wall space

  • Neutral tiles with a single accent colour keeps the design timeless
