A bathroom is an important part of the house; it’s a room that can have different functions depending on the cultural context.

In the most standard sense, the word bathroom means “a room with a bath”. Since the traditional bathtubs have partly made way for modern showers, including steam showers, the more general definition is “a room where one bathes”.

In a standard bathroom, there can be just a shower, just a bathtub or both; and often both plumbing fixtures are combined in the bathtub. The room may also contain a sink, often called a “wash basin”, “hand basin” or “lavatory”, and often a toilet fixture.
