Tips To Design Your Dream Bathroom

Tips To Design Your Dream Bathroom

Whether you’re building, designing an entirely new bathroom, or remodeling an existing one, Designer Drains has got you covered when it comes to tips for your bathroom renovation. Here are some cool new ideas to get your bathrooms in tip-top shape.

First, list the items you absolutely need in your bathroom. This list includes, of course, the toilet and the sink. If it’s a full bathroom, you’ll need to decide on a bath and shower or a shower stall. Your choice depends on your individual needs and preferences.

Next, choose the items you would like to include in your dream bathroom. Often, people want a cabinet under the sink, though if you have a small space, you might prefer a pedestal. Plan on a mirror over the sink, with or without a medicine chest. Lighting is important. A fan can be helpful for keeping moisture out. You’ll probably want a space for shelves of some kind. You can use the storage space for towels, toiletries or other items as well.

If you’re struggling to visualize what your bathroom would look like with the different options that you’ve thought of, there is an easy way for you to see if the items you are thinking about will go together or not, all you need to do is create a Mood Board. To do this, you can find images of the furniture and fittings, colors, and fabrics and place them all on the board too see if they go together, for example, if you’re thinking of having an Oak Vanity Unit and Oak Shelves first search for the Oak Vanity Unit Online and then either find a picture of it in google images or find an online store that has a picture of it on their website, take a screenshot of your chosen vanity unit it will then be saved as an image on your computer, once it’s saved you can then print the image, after it’s printed cut out the vanity unit in the picture and place it on the mood board then do the same for the Oak Shelf Unit, continue to do this until you have every item you want in your new bathroom on your mood board.

You can remove items that you don’t want and add new ones that you do until you have exactly what you want to make your dream bathroom come to life displayed on your mood board. Not only has the mood board helped you decide what you want in your new bathroom, but when hiring the professionals to renovate your bathroom, you can show them your mood board, and they will be able to see exactly what it is you want instead of trying to explain it to them.

At this point, you might want to consider asking a professional to help with the design but If you feel you can do it on your own, here are some tips.

 

Measure Well

Measure your bathroom well. Choose items that you think you’d like in your bathroom and get the measurements. Some suggest drawing a plan to scale, but for those of us who are less visual, it can be helpful to cut paper to the actual size of the footprint of the item. Place these items in the bathroom, arranging them to where you think you would like them. This is a good way to see how well things fit. Don’t forget that you need space between things. You don’t want to clutter your bathroom with so many things that you don’t have any space to get around.

If everything fits well, there are a few more considerations. You might be limited by plumbing or electricity. Window placement makes a difference, too, unless you have no qualms about showering in front of a window.

If things don’t fit well, play with the design a bit (if space, electrical, and plumbing allow.) See if you can come up with a more efficient use of space and still enjoy the design.

If you have a small bathroom and not a ton of space, you’ll have to decide what you can do without. For example, you can use a pedestal sink, which takes less space than a full cabinet. Conversely, you can use a cabinet but don’t include shelves. Some towels and toilet paper can be stored in the cabinet, with the excess supplies in a convenient storage area elsewhere in your house. It might also be helpful to make sure you have the best home energy quote, I hear Money Expert (https://www.moneyexpert.com/gas-electricity/) do some great price comparisons.

A little imagination and a lot of measuring can help your dream bathroom work for you. When you find a bathroom design that works, it’s time to put the pieces together. It’s a lot of work, but it can be worth it.

    I like that you recommend choosing the items you want in the bathroom first and foremost. It makes sense that this could be helpful to help organize where everything will go as well as what sort of counters are needed. It could also help with the plumbing because knowing which appliances and fixtures are going to be used would be very helpful for a professional to be able to get an idea of what to expect.
