Good design is practical, functional, puts the user first, and is intuitive in how it works. So it’s only natural that we have high interior design expectations for the most important room in public areas and businesses. Let’s not beat around the bush, we’re talking about the restroom!

Call it what you will—the bathroom, the John, the powder room, the Iron Throne, or even the Chamber of Secrets—you really can’t downplay just how vital this space is, whether you’re at a restaurant, cafe, hotel, shopping center, or elsewhere. Everybody pees. Everybody poops. Everybody knows how awkward (and sometimes even icky) using public restrooms can be. So privacy and hygiene are areas of huge importance.

Fortunately, the world’s full of genius designers who love making life better, simpler, and more enjoyable for us all. Below, you’ll find some of the very best design solutions to the problems that restrooms have, all collected by Bored Panda. Remember to upvote the design decisions that you think are just spot-on and should be the standard everywhere.

Bored Panda reached out to the American Restroom Association to learn more about the need for good design solutions to public bathrooms, how there's a split between the interests of the government and that of businesses, and how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected restroom designs. Tim Pyle, the Executive Director at the ARA, said that the core reason why hygiene, privacy, and other issues aren't addressed are financial. You'll find the full interview below.

To stop Female genital mutilation (FGM), it’s common in the UK for a teenage girl to hide a small metal spoon sewed into their apparel. This will alert airport security (because they’re flown to countries that permit FGM), via metal detectors, to take them aside so they can help the child.

I've heard of clinics putting two colours of pen in the washrooms where people go to pass a urine sample. There's a sign on the door telling them to use a particular colour pen to mark the sample cup if they feel unsafe and need help escaping an abusive situation.

    Sometimes you may need more "space " to give yourself an injection, clean an ostomy site, take care of an artificial limb site, etc. Space can be used for more than just wheelchairs. Plus, Sometimes people who suffer from hidden disabilities may still need a second person's assistance.

    I have a friend who feels the need to call out people using the "wrong" bathroom stall or using a handicap space. Drives me nuts. He was going to say something one day and I was like "Dude, he has a handicap plate" and my friend "probably a grandparents, he is walking fine." I told him if he dared say something I would never get in a car with him again. My father had a handicap plate, some days he walked fine, other days he couldn't walk 2 feet. Mind your own business.

    Actually I appreciate that those people exist. My husband is severely disabled. Handicap parking is often full when the local store is busy and many of the cars do not have handicap tags. So I usually go in for him or drop him off at the door. But it can be harder for him when he's alone.

    However nice and however ok the outcome, the reasoning is wrong. Unlike the outdated women/men sign, where the little person tells you who's not welcome, the disabled bathroom is not. It just tells you that there are accessories and space to make it something everyone can use. The reason not all toilet stalls are like that is space. But. And I tell you this after cleaning many of these. It's important that these too are used often and not just once a day. Keeping water running and cleaning personel active in cleaning it just as well as the "normal" toilets. I have seen places where the toilet is actively discouraged to being used by abled people with not many disabled coming in, and some how these are the one's dirtiest of all. Everyone can use it, most disabled people are also able to hold their pee for ten seconds that someone happens to be in there because it's busy. And Grace is just as welcome as anyone else.

    Also, don't make a disabled person wait in line, because, yes, while ten seconds aren't the problem. Someone taking up that space to have some family time while taking a huge dump is just rude, because, unlike the abled population, they don't have a choice which toilet to use.

    Tim, the Executive Director at the ARA, explained to Bored Panda that finances lie at the core as to why public restrooms might not be up to suitable standards. "It has been easier and less expensive for municipalities (cities, counties, states, etc.) to allow the for-profit sector to fill the gap. If a national coffee shop chain or fast food establishment has a bathroom, why do we, the government, need to build and maintain one?" Tim explained the way that the US government thinks in this case.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Meanwhile, he highlighted the fact that businesses have "a vested interest in improving the customer experience," citing a study that a whopping 95 percent of patrons are less likely to be return customers if they had a bad bathroom experience. "However, this leaves gaps in the restroom infrastructure. The designs are there; the will of government to fill the gap or ensure access is not," Tim showed Bored Panda where a large part of the problem lies.

    There have been some advancements in the need for good design solutions for restroom hygiene issues since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Tim from the ARA had this to say: "We’ve seen particular interest in antimicrobial materials for high-touch surfaces as well as automation to reduce the 'touch' factor. Also, the way coronavirus is transmitted has put a focus on improving ventilation and air cleaning systems. More simply, better scheduling for regular cleaning is a low-cost way to improve hygiene. Just having a user see that someone is cleaning puts them more at ease,"

    This is made redundant by the fact there is no lid on the seat. ALWAYS close the lid before flushing unless you want all the uh, particles, from the bowl to end up in your hair, on your face and over your clothes. The water creates an aerosol effect putting it all into the air. You also end up breathing it in. Now you might want to reconsider leaving your toothbrush on top of the sink next to your toilet!

    The pics with these initiatives bars and doctors offices are taking to help women in strange or threatening situations are absolutely great... but I'm a bit concerned that now with them posted on social sites and on these "genius solutions lists" can you still use these codes? Cause now EVERYONE knows about this sign in the ladies room, so now when that lady on the weird TINDR date orders an Angel Shot or asks if Angela's working while sitting next to said weirdo he could now know what it means and the situation could escalate. Like the strips at the doctors office...the a-hole could be with her and now that he knows this exists he could be on the lookout for it, now rendering this act useless. We should really take into consideration the possible damage that could be done by posting certain things.

    I think the safety and reassurance offered to women outweighs the possible danger. Even if the man involved realizes the jig is up, he’s less likely to retaliate if he’s out in an open bar with witnesses. Many might choose to leave immediately in order to avoid encountering the police.

    According to Tim, it's very important that the public has access to clean, comfortable, and well-designed restrooms outside of their own homes. "Since 2004, it’s been the reason for the existence of the American Restroom Association. Everyone needs a restroom—it’s a fact of life. One that, for whatever reason, people just don’t like to talk about," Tim pointed out that it's a still a slightly taboo topic.

    "The Federal government requires the availability of restrooms in the workplace, yet there is no such coordinated effort for public spaces. That is something we are advocating for. Until then, it’s a crapshoot (pun intended) as to whether a restroom will be there when you need one," he said.

Public transport tends to be clean too in Korea. But then there comes one crazy individual who makes up for all the "insignificant crimes" done regularly by small delinquents of Europe.

    If you have somewhere better to put your stuff it's not for you. It's for people who don't for whatever reason and who therefore either need to try and juggle what they're holding or put it on the floor. It's not an alternative to your jacket pocket or handbag, it's an alternative to the floor.

    You’re better off not putting anything down on the seat at all. That’s because toilet seats are made from materials that prevent bacteria from spreading in the first place. Their shape and the smooth surface make it extremely difficult for germs to latch onto them. In contrast, toilet paper has a rough texture and is designed to be absorbent, making it a perfect material for bacteria to stick to and hang around on. In most public toilets it is right next to the loo, every time you flush, germs fly into the air and can cling on to the roll. So if you layer the seat with toilet paper and sit down on it, you are effectively perched on top of thousands of germs. Our skin provides enough protection to keep our bodies safe from whatever is lurking in and around the toilet.

    There are several main issues afflicting public restrooms, including hygiene standards, comfort through privacy, and vandalism. Violate any one of those three and customers are less likely to have a great time using your other services. Meanwhile, provide them a safe, clean, beautiful environment in which to errr ponder the nature of life and the multiverse and you’ll make them feel right at home.

    While a lot of potential issues could be solved by throwing more money at the problems, hiring more staff to clean more often, etc., the crux of everything is seeing the potential pitfalls before getting bogged down by them. That’s where design solutions come in. With them, you’re basically investing into solutions upfront and cutting off potential issues before they even show up.

    For instance, touching surfaces at most public restrooms can be a strong yuck factor for adults and kids alike. Throw in the danger of a global pandemic and you’ve got some people seriously worried and extremely anxious. They’d rather hold it in and be in pain than use a disgusting toilet that looks like the villain of a low-budget horror movie.

    So I was at a gas station and there was this long line for the women's and none for the men's. A guy came out of the men's which is one of those one toilet situations. So I asked the women in front of me if they were going to use it. They all looked at me like I was nuts. So I used it. I was in and done before any of them got a turn of the women's. Blew my mind. They really going to wait for 10 minutes because the room I used also had a urinal.

    They most likely used a restroom after a man and found "moisture" in places where it didn't belong....ie: the seat, the floor, the wall.....

    I don't mind gender neutral bathrooms, but they should have stalls, or be single occupancy. In college there was a gender neutral bathroom with a urinal between the sink and the stall. It was awkward, as a woman, trying to wash your hands next to a guy using the urinal.

    Agreed. Gender neutral needs to think about placement. The one in the Netherlands didn't have urinals.

    So minimizing the ick factor and maximizing cleanliness becomes a priority. How this problem gets solved depends on the designer. Some might opt for designs that let us use and flush the toilet while making absolutely minimal contact with surfaces. Others might go for self-cleaning or easily-cleaned surfaces or go for something that’s the perfect solution that nobody’s thought of yet.

I walked into the men’s restroom, at the restaurant I use to work at, to clean the bathroom and saw a man sitting on the floor with his baby lying on his outstretched legs in order to change the diaper. I asked him to get up, peeked into women’s restroom to make sure it was empty (it was close to closing time, so no one was really there) and let him go into women’s restroom to use the changing table. I felt so bad for him 😕

    Not only supporting parents sharing the load... also that men (I don't mean this in a sexist way AT ALL -- just historically) are more likely to have been left unprepared for the stinky surprises because they might not be as used to carrying a shoulder (diaper) bag as women are accustomed to carrying purses etc.

    That's not why these exist. You see bathrooms set up like this all over Europe. Sinks are expensive, and many old buildings just don't have the space for American style bathrooms. This exists because sinks are gender neutral and you only need one.

    That's super smart. Also cuts down on # of sinks they have to install/maintain, and gets people out of the bathroom faster.

    Even better - you can wash your hands AFTER touching that door handle, instead of soiling your freshly washed hands.

    However brave or cowardly we might be in public bathrooms, it’s nonetheless a good idea to give people some privacy. Make sure that nobody can accidentally peek at you through the gaps in the stalls, have some sort of sound-dampening solutions, and generally give people the ability to relax.

    This should be everywhere. I can remember my female friends in high school seeing me in the hallway and asking for quarters. I ended up grabbing a handful of tampons/pads from my mother and sister, stashing them in my locker, and just giving my friends the combination.

    in my previous workplace they were only ever hiring women ( cosmetics store, not that they had anything against men but only women ever applied for the job) and i once got my period and had to use more pads that i kept in my bag, so i had to buy a pac of pads while at work. I bought a big pack and put a few pads in the first aid cabin thingie cuz we're all women! someone will someday need a pad, why would they buy a whole pack when they only need one, and i had so many pads at home... one of my colleagues said it was a dumb idea cuz " most of us were over the age of having a period" (and literally in fact 2 out of 8 women working there we in menopause), i don't get why a woman wouldn't support having some free pads in the first aid box...

    I keep a bucket handy to fill with the water I run while waiting for it to warm up for a shower. Then use that water later for a toilet flush. In the kitchen the wait-for-warm water goes into the Berkey filter. Small savings but these habits keep us mindful of water usage to reduce our overall consumption.

    As I discovered when Googling inexpensive, non-permanent bathroom options for the basement of a home I rent, I discovered that these come in all shapes, sizes and uses. For home, travel, outdoor activities, events etc. Considering the prevalence online, I was left wondering why the concept hasn't been in use for much longer. PS: Oftentimes current toilet fixtures can be adapted by simply replacing the tank cover and making some quick and easy hose switches.

    Kind of, they are usually in smaller bathrooms to save space, the biggest issue I had with it is that the bathrooms are very small to twist around in and they seldom had soap nearby for it. In fact they never even had space for soap. (by the way I'm well aware some public bathrooms in Japan don't have soap dispensers - you're supposed to carry your own soap sheets, but I only ever saw these sinks in private houses and I assume that's because they didn't want soap to get into the cistern but a soapless sink kinda defeated the purpose for me.

    We’re not in Roman times with public bathrooms anymore (for better or for worse) and we need modern design decisions for modern restroom problems. Thankfully, some designers have already digested some of these issues and provided genius responses. Yes, everybody pees and poops, but will everybody implement smart designs after they learn about them? That’s an important question for another time.

    This is great! It's common to use chopsticks in Western countries but, traditionally, you eat sushi with your (impeccably clean) fingers. So if you use the unscented soap before you eat, you won't have scented soap messing up the flavor of your sushi. And if you use scented soap after, your fingers won't smell like cod roe or soy sauce. Nice!

    Yes, I have that problem. I use a wheelchair, and I find this so frustrating. They should do both, a normal one you use your hands or a pedal for your feet.

I absolutely will NOT give them one penny, NOT ONE! On the offshoot, tagging, engraving, ruining a company's restroom or any part of their building, is wrong.

    They have a deep history of racism and homophobia. Before it was illegal to do so, they OPENLY discriminated against and FIRED gays who slipped through the cracks. It had nothing to do with "militant gay terrorists" as suggested here. 40 years ago I was openly told at my interview that my short hair wasn't "in line" with their "wholesome family image."

    Airplanes have them, too, but if you wait until one is green, it's frequently occupied again by the time you get there. Sometimes, you just can't avoid being in line. At least restaurants don't tell you that you can't stand nearby.

    Not just if you forgot to get a card but also for people like me who get everything way ahead time, put it away so it does get lost or fall victim to my tiny human, and forget where i put them by the time mother's day comes around

    A friend's parents have this at their house. It's on the same switch as the main light, so there's enough time for it to heat up when you're having a shower, which is the only time it's needed.

    I have mixed feelings about this. If indeed it is solely for riders stranded by breakdowns, I would question just how often the elevator breaks down that they must be prepared. If it's for the late night drunks and others that might otherwise relieve themselves in random places, thumbs up (including it's corner placements allowing unsteady persons two walls on which the hold/lean). But I am certain that the average person would have concerns about privacy and modest elderly or incontinent individuals, even more so.

    Bristles are used instead of continuing the skinny aluminum pieces as they are less likely to get nicked and snag clothing or scratch a person.

    This is genius! So you pay 50c to use the toilet, and then you buy something on your way out. the store wins double, the mark-up should be higher than 50c anyway. And then your store looks good on the internet because people see it as you giving back the money!

    This is a good idea that I would love to see implemented in some US cities. Unfortunately junkies, tweakers and general ne'er do wells are frequent long-term visitors to convenience store restrooms. Oftentimes the business ultimately ends up making the restrooms inaccessible to regular patrons in order to maintain safety for everyone.

    Why does it seem that HUGE (20+ seating) bathrooms exist EVERYWHERE yet the only one I have ever seen was in a concert/sports venue? These restaurants hallways with multiple restroom doors are boggling to me. I have never seen a restaurant restroom that seats more than 8 max.

    Because it's considered polite/less embarrassing to flush as you use the toilet to hide any bodily/spashy noises apparently. So the fake flush noise spares your blushes, and saves people wasting water.

    They have these at one of the places I go to here but the are automatic flush and always automatically do the half-flush but it never flushes the toilet paper so you end up having to push the button for a full flush which ends up using more water since it ends up being a flush and a half. Maybe they are OK in the men's room to automatically only half flush since they don't need toilet paper for all jobs but in the women's room if it will not flush toilet paper and we ALWAYS need toilet paper, then a half flush is useless...

    Nice and all, but people who refuse to wash their hands will most likely use the washed hands handle out of spite

    well, normally, without the cut, the thing would fall down constantly bc it has nothing to lean on.

    This is less genius design and more "oops, we messed up on the width of the granite, better cut a notch so the toilet seat can be opened all the way." They did do a nice job of finishing it off, however.

    What's with mother's days and bathrooms? "I was in the loo and thought of you"? "Oh this place is clean, reminds me of home when mum did everything"?

    Mother's Day is on a Sunday so it makes sense since. A lot of Mom's want their kids to join them for Sunday service.
