Locating 0f Bathroom Fixtures Is Essential In Good Home Planning Iu the basic arrangement of fix-| fo & room, there are a num- of factors to take into consid- pation -- the location of doors #nd windows for one -- the placing of the radiator for another. Gen. emily speaking, fixtures should be placed where they will be most useful, even though this may re- present a few dollars additional cost. Dollars saved at the expense of convenience will prove costly in the long run PRE | Other things that must be consid- ered are the location of the stack, and the location of the piping to maintain rapid, efficient draining. Your architect or master plumber should be consulted early on fix- ture arrangement; for their wide experience will assure you of se- curing a convenient, economical room ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Wall and floor materials plus interesting accessories combined with good arrangement make the bathroom harmonious. Material's for walls and floors should be sel- ected for both utility and decora- tive beauty. There are many inter- esting materials available It should be remembered that the choice of tile, glass, or other more expensive materials means the bathroom so treated will be per manent. If it is deemed advisable to be able to change the treatment at intervals, less permanent mater- fals such as wall paper for the walls or inexpensive linoleum for the floor can be selected. Ampli fications of all kinds can be obtain- ed through the use of interesting details in doors and windows with lighting, cabinets, mirrors, . dres ing tables, etc. In the selection ¢/ decoration, with the help and ad- vice of your architect your indivi duality may have free reign. Today, when economy is keynote everywhere, color the is a great boon, and its scope limited, only by your own imagination Wall materials, floor materials, lines and other accessories are available in a host of colors which you can assemble as you please.

This subject, is dis- cussed in more detail in literature from leading paint manufacturers. In planning a bathroom, most people prefer white fixtures. But fixtures are again becoming avail- able in a choice of colors to suit any taste. This variety will not only offer a wide selection but also an oppor- tunity for interesting color effects in your bathroom. With white fix- tures of course, any color scheme that suits the fancy may be used. A little greater care should be ex- ercised when colored fixtures are used. In such a case the fixture should be considered the basic col- or of the room, and other colors keyed to it. Good lighting for shaving and putting on make-up is an essential in today's bathroom, and don't for- get that a full length door mirror will be a convenience you'll ap-| |preciate every day of your life. If | at all possible avoid placing the bathroom window over the tub. Not only is it in an awkward position to open and close, but condensa- tion will tend to make it stick, and the shade and curtains will quickly become limp with moisture.
