Bathroom Design: Working Out What You Want

When it comes to bathroom refurbishments the range of choice facing you is astounding. But with so many options to choose from, it can be easy to get distracted and for your finished bathroom design to suffer.

To avoid being dazzled by impressive -- yet wholly unsuitable -- bathroom suites and systems, you are well advised to work out the rudiments of what you want and need ahead of time. For example, you will not need a jacuzzi bath with umpteen jets if you are a household of strictly shower only people. Similarly, while bidets can add extra sophistication to a bathroom design, you are just wasting money and space if you have no intention of using one.

On the other hand, it is not often that we renovate our bathrooms and this is your opportunity to inject a little luxury. Bathrooms are hardworking rooms where you prepare for the day ahead and then for sleep afterwards, but they can also be your sanctuary. Make yours a personal retreat where you can truly relax and enjoy the best possible start and end to each day.

Help your bathroom design consultant by ruling out your definite no-nos, listing must-haves and making a note of anything which has caught your eye that you would like to discuss further. This will make your time with them more productive and aid them to create the perfect bathroom refurbishment for you. Try organizing your thoughts under three main headings:

Products

What do you want in your bathroom? Perhaps you have a hankering for a wetroom, a sunken tub, a steam shower or a free standing bath? Have you seen any suites you like? If your bathroom sees a lot of traffic you might need twin basins and large towel rails in your bathroom design. If you have lots of lotions and potions then you'll need cabinetry too…

Placement

Where do you want things to go and how much space do you have? Do you want the bath under the window, the towel rail next to it? How much room do you have to play with? Top interior design companies offering refurbishments can formulate creative bathroom designs, whatever your space limitations.

Personality

What style do you want to achieve? Do you want a bright fresh look, or a luxurious, decadent feel with sensual curves? Colour, lighting and finishing touches will all contribute to the ambience of your finished bathroom design.

To make sure you get the most out of your new bathroom, now is the time to start thinking. With careful forethought and a reputable company offering refurbishments the bathroom of your dreams can soon be yours.
