1. Tips to Designing a Beautiful
Bathroom

2. Whether you're in the process of building a new
home and it's time to focus on the bathroom
design or you're remodelling your current
bathroom, bringing it up to date and creating a
beautiful space you can enjoy and be proud of,
there are certain things to remember to ensure
that you achieve the beautiful bathroom you
have been dreaming of and that blends in with
the design of your home.
Everyone's idea of the perfect bathroom varies.
Some people like sleek and modern designs
with straight lines and plenty of glass, chrome
and light colours. Others prefer the more
traditional design, complete with wooden
floors, large bath and the chance to create a
functional space for the entire family.

3. There are certain factors you have to take into
consideration whether you're planning the
most modern design or a more traditional one.
The first thing is to draw up a bathroom layout
complete with measurements. Keeping this at
hand can help you select all your fittings and
fixtures with ease, knowing how they will fit
into the space, where to position them and
ensuring you leave enough floor space to move
around with comfort and ease.

4. With your bathroom layout drawn up you have an
idea on the space you have available. Some
homeowners are lucky and have a large space
where they can create a beautiful bathroom,
others have smaller spaces to work with, being
creative and thinking outside the box to create
their perfect dream space.
Think of your colour usage. This is so important
as lighter colours will help make the room feel
more spacious than it actually is. Choose light
coloured tiles, rather than darker ones. If you
want to add a touch of darker colour, make a
feature design behind your basin or in the
shower to make a statements while still
sticking the lighter colours, making the room
feel light, bright and spacious.

5. Your fixtures should be chosen with care.
Remember when making decisions you want
your design to flow throughout the space. This
means choosing cubed chrome taps for the
basin, means following that design to the bath
and shower, ensuring everything blends
together to create a welcoming and beautiful
space you can be proud of.
If you're adding a bathtub to the beautiful
bathroom design, then your bathtub can easily
become the focal points, that one centre piece
item that makes an impact on anyone walking
into the room. Choose a claw foot bath, slipper
bath or stand alone bath that can make a
statement without compromising the space you
have available in the room.

6. If you're working with a smaller bathroom area,
you may have to forfeit the bath for a large
walk in shower to ensure you don't cramp the
space and provide ample space to move around
while still offering a beautiful and elegant
design you can be proud of.

7. Flooring is so important, especially if the
beautiful bathroom you are designing is a
family bathroom. The most slip and fall
accidents in the home happen in the bathroom.
You need to choose your flooring with care,
ensuring it provides ample grip and yet offers a
stunning finish to your room design, enabling
you to complete a space you are proud of and
that is relaxing and welcoming.
The final step in designing a beautiful bathroom
is to make use of mirrors and glass. A glass
shower screen, a large mirror behind the basin
can both have a great impact on the space,
allowing natural light flow and making the
space feel light and bright.
