UI/UX analysis of Indian homes

I've never been much of a traveller, so this is the second time I'm staying in one. And I'm impressed how some of the minor UX niggles I've always felt at home are handled. Of course, homes vary, and ours is a bit old, at about 15 years, so this may not apply to everybody.

1. Bedding - A bedsheet on a mattress is the bedding norm in most Indian homes. But the issue is that the bedsheet gets messed up as people sit on it.  Here, I find the bedsheet, the duvet, and the quilt neatly tucked beneath the mattress - although I'm not in favor of such soft and comfy beds - and things don't get messed up.
2. Bed - My bed itself is a mess. Indians like to use their beds as storage units, so everything from the back to the bottom is designed to hold plenty of clothes/pillows/razais. Unfortunately, this occasionally comes at the price of the sleeper's comfort.
1. My bed has a wooden - for the lack of a better word - footer, that's higher than the mattress. I find my feet routinely hitting it, which is highly uncomfortable. Any kind of footer is a strict no-no. Better to let 2 inches of feet hanging over.
2. Again, for the purposes of maximizing storage, the backrest of beds forms a shelf of some sort, affecting a person who's lying upright. This shelf needs to be done away with, as it keeps 'pinching' you on your neck or back, depending on the angle at which you're lying.
3. The backrest also has handles that open storage areas at the back of the bed. These handles also keep hitting you at the back and affect your comfort. These should be flushed with the surface, or the mechanism used to open beds should be different.
4. Nightstands with drawers are a must. THEY'RE SO HANDY.
5. Light switches should be on both sides of the bed, at convenient locations.
6. Reading lights - again, not sure of their utility.
3. Room
1. Lighting should/can be diffused. This provides for a better ambiance, and does not cause glares in your laptop screen.
2. Lighting can also be 'global' per room. Like multiple lights and levels can be defined - dim, medium, high, and sets of lights are automatically turned on depending on the level.
3. A work table at a convenient distance from bed is cool. Ergonomics of a work table are a whole different chapter.
4. Shades - they're just so cool! You feel the sunlight is a bit too much, and bam, the sun is in dim mode.
4. Bathroom
1. Bigger mirror!! It's an absolute joy to have a big mirror
2. Lights should be mounted in front of a mirror. This allows for an extraordinary level of detail since light hits your face directly.
3. A handheld shower to clean your ass is a bliss, and also probably saves water. No jets though, I believe they cause fissures and hemorrhoids and all (read somewhere, don't remember). No tissue paper also. In fact, do away with western toilets. Indian toilets with showers are the best. (Who said revolutionary UX is conventional?)
4. Taps that need to be turned 20 times for water to flow are so 19th century. Slight nudges should turn them on and off.
5. Showers should be dual - can be both hand-held or mounted above your head.
6. Soap and shampoo holder should be located at convenient distance from the bather.
7. The sink should have a decent shelf for all your toiletries. 
8. Sinks with pluggable drains - not sure if they're very useful.
9. Shower panels - again cool, not sure if they have a UX aspect. (Other than filling the whole bathroom with water).

I probably sound like a Justin Beiber fan girl, and most of the things I've mentioned are standard in most parts of the developed world. But it's cool to be living in a place that has been designed more thoughtfully.
