User insights and intuition drive the design process
Published:  26 September, 2011

The three keys to great bathroom design are fully understanding how the end users will interact with their bathroom; maximising the space available in what is in most cases the smallest room in the home; and, creating a personal sanctuary. The development process of any product or bathroom design must start with the focus on end users and how they will interact with their new bathroom. It can be a tricky process though, after all, how do we deliver an experience that people can’t always tell you they want?

Using user insights and intuition are really what drive any design process and to gain these insights requires some creative approaches. Asking the right questions throughout the process is of vital importance. Does the bathroom need to meet the needs and physical abilities of various age groups, for example?

Travel has a massive impact on the design of British bathrooms. Manufacturers and designers travel to experience the bathing customs of different cultures – the cultures their customers enjoy when on holiday. Travel is also driving the demand for hotel style bathrooms that is prevalent today. This is a key trend to watch.

Whether it’s a classic or contemporary bathroom, bathroom design is about maximizing space and making it a sanctuary; a place to escape to and relax after a busy day, or energize in the morning before the day starts. Bathrooms have become truly individual spaces and the design possibilities are endless.
