The first design we’re going to look at is one which conjures up images of calmness and gentle relaxation. Japanes bathroom design ideas are noted for their simple concepts and warm soothing colour schemes. While it may seem a little daunting, it is fairly easy to create a bathroom with at the very least subtle tones of Asia without going the whole hog and adding Geisha girls!

The first step is to pinpoint which aspects of Japanese design you like as chances are you won’t like everything and the kitchen sink (or in this case washbasin) relating to Asian bathroom design ideas. You may pick a few aspects, for example – cherry blossoms or warm wooden colours. Once you have selected a few ideas you should start to see different ideas in your head, try to sketch these out – they need not be perfect, perhaps just use crayons to get some basic colour ideas.

Asian bathroom deisgn is synonymous with nature so think about neutrality with a hint of colour, this could be red from the blossom or orange from tradiational japanes fish. Whatever the colour scheme you choose, keep it as subtle as possible. Overdoing it can lead to a bathroom design that simply has no direction at all.

Below are some Asian bathroom designs to inspire you:

Signature Hardware now carries a line of hookless shower curtains. Easy to install and affordable, these innovative shower curtains allow customers to bring the feel of a luxury hotel to their homes. The split-ring design makes shower rings unnecessary and allows customers to easily hang this shower curtain.

The shower curtains are available in 100-percent, heavy-gauge vinyl or water-resistant polyester. Customers can choose from two designs: the basic, solid white Hookless Vinyl Shower Curtain or the Hookless Vinyl Shower Curtain with Clear Panel. This 14-inch clear panel allows light into a dark shower area while maintaining privacy.

The hookless shower curtains come in a range of widths and lengths to fit any shower. For the best fit, customers should order a shower curtain that is 6 to 12 inches wider than their shower rod. The longer, wide sizes accommodate large shower rods and rings. The oversized 168-inch curtain is perfect for clawfoot, soaking or whirlpool tub shower enclosures, extra long straight shower rods, neo-angle shower rods, and corner rods. The 36- and 48-inch wide curtains are just enough for extra-narrow shower stalls. The 76-inch and 84-inch length curtains cover even the tallest shower.

Prices start at $ 18 for the 100-percent vinyl options and $ 34 for the water-resistant polyester styles. All styles are available in white and are quickly shipped within one to two business days.

Paired with a curved shower rod, the hookless shower curtains create a luxury bath experience starting at less than $ 100 total. To complete the feeling of an at-home getaway, customers can add heated towel warmers, teak mats, shower seats. These items and more can be seen online or in the company’s free catalog. Customers are invited to order a free catalog online or by calling customer service toll free at 1-866-855-2284.

The other option you do have is under floor heating which although can be comforting can also be very expensive and would also require a lot of work to be done in your bathroom – just imagine having to rip up all the floor tiles or linoleum and you get an idea of the mess that could be created if you went down this route.

A bathroom radiator will also create a nice convection current which will circulate the heat around your bathroom for all over warmth. This can work out much more energy efficient thus saving you more money over time.

Heated towel rails can be heated either by central heating water (just like a regular central heating radiator in your home) or by electricity. This is done by the installation of a heating element into the radiator. There is a third option too which is a dual fuel radiator, giving the best of both worlds and the best flexibility in your home.

The true beauty of a dual fuel rail is that in the summer months when you don’t have your central hearing on, it would be very inefficient to turn on the whole hot water system to heat the one bathroom radiator. You would now have the ability to heat the radiator using the electric element thus warming your bathroom whilst not having to turn on the whole central heating. On the flip side you can quickly turn it off when you come out of the shower or bath – thus saving more on your monthly fuel bill.

Of course the radiators themselves come in all shapes and sizes, think beyond your tradiational radiator here. There are also a huge range of colours available to choose from and material finishes – in fact there are now some rails which come with printed patterns on them. This allows you to create whatever look and feel you want in your bathrooms. Free your imagination, stop thinking so bland!

During the long winters which seem to be getting colder and colder this radiator could give your bathroom a new lease of life. No longer fear your bath having to quickly jump out and wrap yourself up in five towels and your dressing gown, shivering all the time, with a heated towel rail for your bathroom you could get right back to nature.
