Layout
The first thing to consider when designing your new bathroom is the layout. Think about how you will use the space and where you want each fixture to be located. This will help you determine the best layout for your bathroom. For example, if you have a larger bathroom, you may want to consider a separate shower and bathtub. In a smaller bathroom, a combined shower and bath may be the best option.
Plumbing
When designing your bathroom, it’s important to consider the location of your plumbing. This will help determine where your fixtures can be placed and may impact your layout. Make sure to consult with a professional plumber to ensure that your plumbing is up to code and that your fixtures are installed correctly.
Lighting
Lighting is an important aspect of any bathroom design. Consider the natural light available in the space and how you can enhance it with artificial lighting. You may want to install task lighting near the mirror for grooming, as well as ambient lighting to create a relaxing atmosphere.
Storage
Storage is an essential consideration for any bathroom. You’ll need to think about where you will store your towels, toiletries, and other bathroom essentials. Consider installing built-in shelving or cabinets to maximize your storage space.
Flooring
The flooring in your bathroom should be both functional and stylish. Consider materials that are durable and can withstand moisture, such as porcelain tile or vinyl flooring. You may also want to consider underfloor heating for added comfort.
Ventilation
Proper ventilation is crucial in a bathroom to prevent moisture build up and mould growth. Make sure to install an exhaust fan that is the appropriate size for your space and use it during and after showers or baths.
Style and Design
Finally, consider the overall style and design of your bathroom. Choose fixtures, finishes, and colours that reflect your personal style and create a cohesive look throughout the space. If you’re unsure of what style to choose, look to home design magazines and websites for inspiration.
