If you provide us with your bathroom floor plan we can create an initial bathroom design.

Bathroom design is one part however remember to allow funds within your budget for decoration and as bathrooms tend to be a small room you might be able to able to use more expensive materials. Ensure that you allow plenty of easily accessible storage and allow enough to keep surfaces in bathrooms clear for easy cleaning. Large tiles can create an illusion of space and are available in a large variety of materials that were once confined to the outdoors eg Slate, limestone and sandstone have waterproof properties and are perfect for bathrooms.
Bathroom design for those with impaired physical ability do not need to be clinical or ugly. Wall grips can be disguised as soap dishes and low height baths can look elegant. Thermostatic bath taps can be very useful and can be pre-set at a suitable temperature to prevent scalding. We also offer a range of these.

We make bathroom design easy by offering a vast range of fixtures for bathrooms from the traditional to ultra-modern and in a wide range of materials. Don’t get overwhelmed by the choice for bathrooms but do keep notes on items, which you really like. The restrictions of size and cost will help you choose. Be careful about the scale of each item, corner baths can appear to save space in bathrooms but may take up more room and not provide any additional bathing space.
Bathrooms have many practical matters, which need to be considered in the early stages of bathroom design for example a cast iron bath full of water may be too heavy for your floor. Wet rooms are now popular in bathrooms but again the weight of tiles should be considered and the overall sealing to prevent water damage below must be considered carefully. Wetrooms . Complex bathroom design solutions are not always ideal as it may be difficult to access wiring and plumbing once the walls are tiled and fixtures are in place. It is recommended to always use professional plumbers and electricians to ensure that there are no leaks and that there is no chance of electric shocks.
Water will seep anywhere it can and often it is not seen until serious damage has already occurred.

Bathroom design is sometimes made more difficult as the bathroom is often the smallest area and yet the most important. This is the room in which you prepare for the outside world and will return to after a busy day at work to relax with a refreshing shower or an indulging bath. It is important to make good use of this space. To start a abthroom design measure your bathroom and draw a plan, with the original fixtures included. That will give you an idea of the existing shape and the placement of piping and drainage. In any home improvement on a budget it is important to leave the fixtures where they are, as replumbing can cost more.

Good bathroom design is essential in smaller bathrooms. It is important to allow enough space to move around. When you're sitting on the toilet, your knees don't touch the side of the bath. If you haven't got enough space to put a separate shower enclosure in but still want to enjoy a shower, a bath with an overhead shower is fine. Just buy a good screen or shower curtain to prevent splattering. Not all baths are rectangular. If you've got an odd shaped room or simply not the space for a traditionally shaped bath, select a bath that saves space around the foot-end or baths that are deeper so that you sit more upright, saving space lengthwise. Corner basins are also available for smaller corners.

Bathroom design in larger bathrooms has more possibilities. It's a good idea to assess which fixtures you want to incorporate. Do you want just a bath or would you like to have a separate shower area, so that two people can use the room at the same time? Would you like a bidet, a sauna or a relaxing area to groom your self. If you've got a big enough space designated just let your creativity flow.

Bathroom design will increase the storage available. Depending on the size of your family, you need less or more storage. However the principles of storage stay the same. These are the three types of storage:
Open shelving for the toiletries you'll need for every day use. They are then easily accessible and won't get lost in a closed cupboard. Open shelving is also a way of displaying visually attractive bottles.
Concealed storage for toiletries which don't need to be on every day display as they will not be used as often. A medicine cupboard that can be locked is important if you have smaller children.
A dry cupboard, or airing cupboard to keep your towels fresh and warm is an absolute must.
If you have a shower, make sure you're able to store your shower gels and shampoos inside the shower. Think of easy to reach shelving if you have your bath installed so everything is accessible. If you have a family, you have to plan your storage accordingly. Toys and bathing accessories can take more space then you think. Store your cleaning products out of the way of children. You will need a bin to dispose of wet and used towels. Try to find one that can double up as seating to save space in your bathroom design.
