A Bathroom is where you do your personal thingy. Generally, contains a toilet, sink, mirror, bathtub or a shower. Though in other countries, bathroom is separated from a toilet room.

There are many variations of a Bathroom, sometimes they called it a wet room or a powder room, depending on what account for the use it was designed.

Design Consideration, focus on style and function + purpose and goals.

Learn about bath types, like:

Master Bathroom - is design in a FULL BATH that adjoins to the master bedroom. It has a set of relaxing mood that coordinates the natural elements to give a room a relaxing feel.

It is also called a THREE-QUARTER BATHROOM. The idea is to get in, do your thing, and get out ---toilet, sink, shower.

MASTER BATHROOM or Full Bathroom takes all the high-traffic space. This means that bathroom must work for everyone.

Half-Bath or Powder Room -  is just a small room that has a mirror, a sink, a faucet.  And the toilet is another part of the room separated by a door. This is usually seen in a fast-food, mall, disco bar. But for some houses, they have this in one setting.
