Few things are less elegant than a cramped, crowded restroom where users practically have to climb over one another to get to sinks or stalls. High ceilings, wide aisles and doorways, and generous fixture spacing are all useful in creating a sense of spaciousness. In fact, we may opt to use individual privacy stalls rather than partitions in some situations. While tile remains a popular choice for floors and other surfaces in all types of restrooms, granite and marble are substituted in many high-profile applications. Both stone options are more expensive than tile, but can create very inviting and elegant effects when used throughout a restroom.
Lighting is another tool designers use to help create a softer, more friendly environment.
It creates a nice soft effect without compromising light quality. High-traffic Spending 15 minutes in a bathroom line at an airport or arena is nobody's idea of a good time. With that in mind, designers of restrooms in high-traffic settings emphasize the number and distribution of restrooms in a facility. Too often, the restrooms get stuck in leftover areas after the rest of the design is all but complete. In addition, restrooms in many high-traffic applications need to accommodate waves of traffic as crowds pour off planes or out of conference rooms.
