- Storage solutions: cabinets, racks for toiletries.

- Electrical appliances without the correct safety features, such as a hairdryer without an earth leakage circuit breaker (AL).
- Wooden furniture that is sensitive to moisture damage.
- Excessive electronics and electrical outlets.
3. Why no socket in the bathroom?
- Electricity and water are a dangerous combination. Electrical sockets can cause a short circuit or worse if they come into contact with water. That is why sockets are usually not installed in the bathroom. If you do want to use electronic devices in the bathroom, provide a specially designed electrically safe area, such as near the sink outside the shower area.
4. Can a washing machine be installed in the bathroom?
- Yes, you can place a washing machine in the bathroom if the space is large enough and there are the correct connections for water inlet and drain. Make sure you place the washing machine on a raised floor to protect it from water damage and flooding.
