Questions to think about!
We have put together a few ideas to think about when contemplating purchasing a New Bathroom suite for your home.
1
Choose Elegant Fixtures.
The fixtures you choose to install in your bathroom will affect its overall feel. An elegant sink with a curvaceous shape will exude beauty much more than a bulky vanity unit.
If your bathroom is spacious, a freestanding bath can work wonders in creating that special feeling.
However, you don’t need a huge bathroom in order to make it special. When choosing the accessories make sure they all work together.
2
Sit In The Bath Before You Buy It.
This is crucial, and bigger isn't always better. So sit in it, lie in it, basically pretend you’re bathing in it, make sure it provides enough room for you to stretch out and be comfortable.
If you’ve chosen a double-ended bath, make sure you can both sit in it comfortably.
This may sound obvious, but do it, a large bath is a big purchase and nothing could be annoying than purchasing a ‘bath-for-two’ that’s only fit for one.
3
Select Durable Flooring.
Water-resistant and durable flooring is recommended. Materials such as ceramic, marble and stone are common materials because of how hard-wearing they are.
Your bathroom floor gets the most strenuous day-to-day treatment out of all the floors in the house, so keep this in mind. Well-sealed, hardwearing floors are important to do the research, get the knowledge, and enjoy your bathroom.
4
Hang A Stylish Mirror.
Mirrors are a crucial part of the bathroom for both practicality and beauty.
A well- designed mirror can promote itself as a valuable focal piece, and also provide the illusion of space and create light.
Furthermore, mirrors are usually part of a mirror cabinet and provide the perfect mask for an assortment of toiletries.
5
Use Found Space.
Floor space is generally considered to be a good thing.
Taking advantage of wall studs with the help of storage cabinets is the perfect way to save floor space, but it’s important the cabinet has an interior depth of at least 100mm or 4 inches or more.
6
Build A Shower Area.
A built-in shower area can offer significant value to your bathroom and property. Building an open shower area is a real eye-catcher for strangers and it will set your bathroom apart.
Open shower enclosures exude a feeling of liberation and freedom.
A tasteful showerhead and shower enclosure can make way for a real bathroom focal point.
7
Share Space for Added Function.
In homes with back-to-back bathrooms, a shared shower with access doors to each of the bathrooms maximizes limited space.
Or turn a closet located next to a bathroom into a small en-suite with access to the neighboring bath.
8
Design Lighting That Works.
Good lighting is important. Whether it’s bathroom ceiling lights or showering lights, getting the lighting right can have a real impression on how your bathroom looks.
9
Buy A Quality Toilet.
Everyone knows that the toilet is an important part of the bathroom, which is why it’s so important to get it right. Buying a cheap bathroom out of convenience is a false economy.
A toilet should be built to last. Precautions like measuring the height of the seat can be just as important as how it looks.
10
Incorporate Luxury Into Your Room.
If you're lucky enough to have lots of space to work with, indulge yourself with the luxury of walk through the wet room.
Aside from just having a large shower or walk-in shower.
Why not treat yourself to a television, some exercise equipment or even a large comfortable occasional chair.
We hope these tips help with some of the designing and ideas in your new Bathroom.
