Designing a new bathroom in your home can be one of the most enjoyable projects for you to take on. The experts at your local showroom will have all of the latest applications for computer design. But you don’t need those bells and whistles to create an attractive and functional space in your home.
Perhaps you have never taken on a significant project such as this before. If so, you could use some advice to help you through the process of designing and installing the room of your dreams. We are going to take a look today, at some scintillating tips and tricks for modern bathroom design. I hope you find them helpful.
The Layout
You don’t have to arrange the bathroom suite the same as the existing one, but the toilet can cause problems if you don’t have one in a separate room. Unless you are willing to take on some alterations to the waste system, I recommend you leave it where it is. You can relocate everything else.
Many bathrooms in old houses feature an airing cupboard. I suggest that you relocate the hot water tank and demolish the cupboard to give you extra space. It could be an opportunity for you to install a
combination boiler in a cupboard elsewhere and do away with the hot water cylinder altogether.
When you find the perfect suite and get the measurements, draw a floor plan to scale and include the pieces on it. That way you can visualise how the layout will look when the project is over. If you don’t have room for a shower cubicle and a bath, there is a solution. A
futuristic shower bath will serve both functions from one unit. That will free up more floor space for dressing, etc.
Twin vanity units are essential for busy people. The bathroom is the cause of many arguments in the mornings as couples get ready for the day ahead. Two sinks will go a long way towards solving the problem.
Modern Lighting Techniques
You must consider the lighting for the room before you begin work. The central light will have to go in favour of several LED fittings that fit in the ceiling. There is also task lighting and mood lighting to consider. You will have to employ an electrician to install the cables before you tile the walls. There are fittings for every area, from the floor to the shower cubicle. See what is out there; it will blow your mind.
Water Softener
If you find excessive
hard water deposits in your bathroom, you should think about installing a water softener. You install the unit on the water pipe as it enters the house. It will help you to keep the bathroom clean by cutting the amount of limescale on the fixtures and fittings. Though you don’t install it in the bathroom, it is a vital part of the design.
Tiling
You must tile the floor and walls if you are to achieve a luxurious and opulent ambiance in the room. It is a part of the project your must ponder for a long time because if you get it wrong the consequences can be disastrous. I prefer to see vertical rectangular tiles, but you may choose something else. Everybody is different, and there is no right or wrong to bathroom design.
I hope my tips inspire you to achieve great things in your bathroom. As a professional designer, they serve me well, and I thought it only fair that I shared some of my wisdom so that your project will be a success. I hope they serve you well too.
