If you’re looking to design an efficient modern workspace, it might be easy to overlook the importance of designing the perfect corporate bathroom. Bathrooms are essential but often neglected in many commercial buildings; however, office restrooms play an essential role in overall office design. Presenting a stellar corporate bathroom design is an excellent way for business leaders to show they care about their employees, future talent, and visiting clients.  Someone will judge your entire company based on the state of your restrooms because it sends a message about the level of detail you put into your organization. Additionally, a well-crafted corporate bathroom can contribute to a healthier and more inclusive workplace environment by adding elements that prioritize employees and consider all of their potential needs. The corporate bathroom extends beyond functionality, serving as a tangible reflection of the company’s values and employee-centric approach. If you are looking to upgrade your workspace, upgrading your corporate bathroom is a must. 

Of course, renovating, expanding, or building a new corporate bathroom from scratch is much easier said than done. There are dozens of different factors to consider, from planning a construction schedule to setting a budget to more specific decisions like installing touchless fixtures or choosing nice-looking finishes. What many business owners need to realize is that designing a corporate bathroom is the perfect opportunity to design a professional space that allows you to emphasize the importance of employee comfort within your organization. 

When creating the perfect budget for your corporate bathroom building or redesign project, there are a few factors to consider. Business owners who renovate their office restrooms often hesitate to spend a little extra (about 10% more) on better finishes (tile/faucets/vanities/stalls/etc) because a restroom renovation can be relatively involved and costly in the first place. Remember that businesses only renovate their restrooms about once every 15-20 years. The extra 10% might seem like a lot now, but it makes such a big difference in your corporate bathroom’s overall look, feel, and functionality! When perfecting a corporate space that will last for years to come, we believe it’s 100% worth saving up a little extra to make your bathrooms stand out.

Additional tips, tricks, and considerations for office restroom design include:

• In today’s world, touchless fixtures are more important than ever within high-traffic areas like corporate restrooms because of increased hygiene awareness. Not only that, but they reduce waste and the cost of disposables, helping your business to save as much money as possible.
• Consider privacy. How private do you want your toilet partitions to be? Most individuals prefer for there to be as much space as possible in between bathroom stalls.
• What are your team’s unique needs? Do you need an area for a mother’s room in or near your women’s restroom? Or maybe just a changing area? Be sure to consider how your corporate bathroom design can positively impact your employees.
• Do you want to offer an area to sit in?
• Lighting can make a big difference in a restroom. Try to make it a little bit nicer than a typical grid ceiling. Warmer lighting makes it more comfortable.
• Some companies offer showers – especially manufacturing organizations where shop workers get dirty and sweaty during the day. This small amenity can make a world of difference for employees.
• Try to cover up the CMU block in a more industrial application – it makes the bathroom look less institutional!
