Bathroom design is something that is very personal to an individual or family and should cater to their needs. Whether the bathroom you have needs excessive work, some patching up or a complete redesign there are a number of factors to think about when planning your new bathroom.
Planning your budget is always a good place to start, although depending on the result you want and if you are willing to go the extra mile to do so, it is your call. Realistically it will usually end up costing you more than the original budget due to some unforeseen circumstances, broken tiles or simply you change your mind. If you do the work yourself (even if you have no experience there is YouTube) and hire or purchase the tools that is a sure fire way to keep the costs down. Dangerous or specialist tasks for example plumbing etc it may be worth getting a professional in to do the work.
Next think about the style of bathroom you want to go for. Do you go for a contemporary, period, loft, en suite, spa, family orientated or wet room.
Contemporary BathroomsÂ
This style is about design, comforts and innovation. If you want a bathroom with a Wow factor as well as comfortably and functionality this would be the style you would choose. By having unconventional fixtures and fittings as well as your bath or shower (even you toilet or radiator) to be a focal point in the bathroom.
Taps are a great way to add the finer details to a contemporary bathroom. Keeping the bathroom as simple as possible while providing focal points will be the sure fire way to a successfully executed contemporary feel.
Period BathroomsÂ
The key to a period bathroom is to mix a traditional approach to fit in with your homes actual style but putting the modern touches also enable your to have a unique. Floating shelves will be a nice way to blend the two styles. You can still maintain the period feel with other furnishing and ornaments in the room adding a little element of shabby chic too.
Wet Room
A wet room is an all in one solution to a bath / shower experience. It involves the entire room being fitted with a sealant and tiled so you can feely move around the bathroom without the concern of getting too many things wet. Typically the rooms are very spacious with a minimalist approach and a few unique fixtures and fittings.
