Fabulous video! May I add, rethink getting a shower with a track door system ā they are impossible to keep clean! The tracks fill up with the most disgusting black gunk because the water never fully drains out of them. After a few years trying with Qtips and wasting water, we finally ripped out the entire door system and put up a shower rod.

I'm a believer in function over form. To that end, I want bathrooms like those in hospitals - super easy to clean because they have to be for hygiene reasons. They might not look pretty, but no-lip floors that are laminate (which continues up the walls to a certain extent) don't have grout or shower tracks to collect gunk or trip people up.

Thank you for mentioning this. I used to clean houses and it was really hard to clean certain spaces. Many people design their houses to look good, but it doesn't mean that is practical. I think the people who design those things are people who never clean their houses, haha.
You forgot to mention pebble floors or tempered glass. Those are hard to clean too

This is the video I needed this week! We're doing a complete renovation of a small condo & my goal for the bathroom was Low Maintenance. The GC was initially surprised by my design choices because they didn't track with what most people are requesting. Once I clearly conveyed my goal of Low Maintenance, he and his team were super helpful in making material choices. We implemented 9 of the decisions recommended here. (Shower only, so no tub at all, toilet was already new so didn't replace immediately ). Thanks so much for sharing these. I feel so validated.

This is not about a bathroom but I clean shared spaces for a living (staircases + hallways + elevators + entry/exit doors) and you know if someone designed the space with maintenance in mind or not.
For example, some hallways have such horribly impractical windows, letās say, instead of a nice 2-panel window that you can easily open, itās been split into 6 separate cubes and you have to open them and literally unhinge them one by one in order to clean them. Makes me want to scream every time I have to clean them. So I really appreciate practical design that also keeps future maintenance in mind š„²

I would add, glass shower walls, especially if you have hard water. Water spots can actually etch the glass if not cleaned very regularly, and that damage is permanent. It may not be such a problem if you have one of those huge showers where the shower water doesn't actually reach the glass. For the rest of us, tile walls and a shower curtain may be better than glass.

Finally! Everyone talks about esthetic but nobody talks about maintenance/cleaning. I hate spending endless hours cleaning washroom/kitchen... All the joining cracks/nooks of the typical toilet bowl parts are the grossest thing for me!
