Whether it’s your main bathroom or an en-suite, there is nothing nicer than having a beautifully fitted bathroom space for you to relax in and enjoy. When planning a new bathroom, there are various options available and lots to think about. Here are some things to consider when planning your dream bathroom. The reality may not be that far away.
Create a design
The first thing to do is establish which products will fit in your current space. There is little point in dreaming of a corner bath, for example, if there isn’t adequate room to fit one. Visiting a showroom with some rough measurements will narrow down your options. They can give a good indication of the most suitable products for the room dimensions.
Obtain quotations
Whether supply and fit or supply only, it’s a good idea to obtain at least 2 comparable quotes. If you are having an independent plumber carry out the works for you, discuss the specifications with them before ordering anything. They will most likely need to inspect your current bathroom to ensure that the necessary plumbing works can be carried out.
Specification
There are lots of different products to consider when purchasing a new bathroom suite. Baths, sinks and W.C sets come in various shapes and sizes. Consider whether you would like a power shower or perhaps even a jacuzzi bath. If your budget allows, now is the time to splash out and buy the things you have been dreaming of. Vanity units, taps, and tiles are the finishing touches to any bathroom so take your time to ponder over the choices you make. Towel radiators are a great addition to any bathroom. They not only provide heat but are functional at the same time. Some bathroom designers can produce 3D images of your choices, making it easier to envisage what your dream bathroom might look like.
Water softener systems
If you live in a hard water area, you will know how much of an issue this can be, not only for your hair and skin but for your bathroom fixtures. It can leave scaling, soap scum and spots which is the last thing you want, particularly when you have just spent lots of money on a new suite. Water softener systems will alleviate these issues so it’s a good time to consider having one fitted.
Flooring
There are many different flooring choices available for bathrooms these days. Whether it be luxury vinyl or ceramic tiles you should consider which is best suited to your needs.
Accessories
Accessorizing your new bathroom is not only fun but will finish the final look. Choose a paint color that accentuates the mood you are going for. Luxurious towels are a great way to add texture and color to your room. Another way to create a sense of warmth is to buy some nice house plants. All you have to do now is light some candles, add some bubbles and enjoy your new space.
