Bathroom Planning Tips

Planning a bathroom can be a complicated task and with this it is easy to make mistakes and miss things out. It is important to sit down and plan your bathroom properly and make sure that to get the right bath, shower and other bathroom products that you desire in your bathroom with as little hassle as possible. Here are some bathroom planning tips to help in your bathroom DIY endeavour.

Family Bathroom Planning

Plan your bathroom so that all members of your family will enjoy it. Keep the safety of your children in mind when choosing flooring and lighting.

Utilise what you currently have in your bathroom

Keep existing service points in mind when planning your bathroom as rewiring and re-plumbing takes both time and money.

Lighting in your bathroom

Think about what you want to do with your window. Maximise the amount of light that comes in without having to suffer from glare. Lighted bathroom mirrors are avaliable for bathrooms that have smaller windows.

Bathroom Storage with bathroom furniture

Plan enough storage. Shelving for products for every day use, cupboards for occasionally used products and towels, and bins for laundry. In families, plan storage for typical children's bathroom accessories and toys.

Shower

Decide whether you have the space to install a separate shower enclosure or a shower above the bath. A separate shower will take more space, but two people can use the bathroom at the same time.

Large Family = extra bathroom

For larger families, a second cloakroom is useful, especially in the morning when everybody needs to get ready at the same time.
