The luxury of soaking in your own private bath and then slipping straight into bed does sound tempting. But if you have children, this might be more difficult – unless you have\u00a0strict rules about access to your bedroom!<\/p>\n
Some people see a bedroom bath as the perfect way to relax after a hard day’s work. If the room\u00a0is lucky enough to have a picturesque view, this can be even more tempting. As long as you don\u2019t feel too exposed.<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
The reality<\/b><\/h4>\n
Mixing steamy baths with the bedroom means unfortunately you’ll need to have windows open to reduce condensation. Either that or an exceptionally strong fan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Personally, as nice as would be to relax in a warm bath in the comfort of the bedroom; the thought of all that condensation concerns me more. Steamed windows, walls and mirrors will need constant wiping and cleaning. The possibility of a slightly damp bed mean it\u2019s a real no-go concept for me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Alternative measures<\/b><\/h4>\n
Many houses with sufficient space have en-suites as we’ve mentioned. The latest trend for these is a glass partition either with some frosting for modesty\u2019s sake or completely clear.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You can use this to make a an open-plan, wet room style en-suite. This style keeps the amenities close to the bedroom and the glass makes the area seem larger than it is.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you still prefer a little more privacy and you have the space, double-door access to your en suite could help. You could open the doors wide when it suits you. And the doors can always be closed when you choose to take a bath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
