A bathroom remodeling project essentially gives you an empty canvas, allowing you to create the oasis you’ve always wanted. Not only can you design based on your tastes and priorities, but your material and fixture choices can slash your cleaning time. Here is a helpful guide to designing a low-maintenance, easy-to-clean bathroom.

How to Design an Easy-Clean Bathroom

1. Avoid Grout

Instead of small porcelain or stone pieces, choose large-format tiles or solid slabs for countertops, wet rooms, and wall coverings. If you hate cleaning seams, paint any walls that don’t need tile, or consider using an attractive vinyl or laminate covering.

2. Use Frameless Shower Doors

Glass shower doors are a popular, elegant choice, but their aluminum frames house mold and bacteria, which can be very difficult to remove. A frameless shower door, on the other hand, can just be cleaned with a squeegee — especially if you use a water-repellent coating on the glass.

3. Build a Wet Zone

A wet zone is not just a sophisticated design choice, but they also make cleaning a breeze. There’s no shower partition to polish, and the bathing area can be mopped along with the rest of the floor.

4. Install a Wall-Mounted Toilet

The area around the toilet is one of the most difficult areas to clean in the entire house. A bathroom remodeling project is the perfect opportunity to install a wall-mounted toilet, which completely eliminates the floor-cleaning problem.
