Movable Screen for Bed Facing Toilet

A movable screen can be used to solve the issue of a bed facing a toilet. Here are its functions, common types, and selection points:

Functions

• Blocking the view: It avoids the embarrassment of the toilet door directly facing the bed and prevents exposure when opening the door, protecting privacy.
• Improving the environment: It can separate the moisture and odors from the toilet while not affecting ventilation. For example, screens made of wooden lattice or long-虹 (long-rainbow, here referring to long-hollow) glass can achieve the partition function and ensure air circulation.
• Multi-functional use: The screen can be used as multi-functional furniture. For example, it can have drawers underneath or be combined with a wardrobe, saving space and increasing storage capacity.

Common Types

• Wooden lattice: It has a warm wooden texture, and its gaps allow for ventilation. However, the gaps tend to accumulate dust and require frequent wiping.
• Long-hollow glass: It has a hazy aesthetic appeal, can transmit light but not clearly show people, providing good privacy. It is also easy to clean, and a wipe with a cloth is enough.
• Combination type: For example, one side is a wardrobe and the other side is a screen, or there is a storage cabinet at the bottom and a partition at the top. This type of screen is suitable for small apartments as it can make full use of space and achieve multiple functions.

Selection Points

• Moisture-proof material: Since the screen is adjacent to the toilet, choose a moisture-proof material to extend its service life.
• Appropriate size: Measure the size according to your actual situation. The height of the screen should be moderate. Too high will make it look oppressive, and too low will not block the view, moisture, and odors.
• Installation precautions: It is best to install the screen after the tiles are laid to ensure a flat wall surface. If there is no door frame in the toilet, remember to add a water barrier to prevent water from splashing onto the screen. At the same time, the style of the screen should match the overall style of the bedroom.

In addition, apart from using a movable screen, you can also use a cabinet as a partition, turn the toilet door into a hidden door, move the washbasin outside, and other solutions to address the issue of a bed facing a toilet.
