Here are some important tips to consider when planning a bathroom renovation: sit in the bathtub before buying it to ensure proper size and comfort; use durable flooring like ceramic, marble or stone tiles that are water resistant; consider an open concept shower without a curtain or door for a less confining feel; install sufficient lighting for grooming tasks; add ventilation to prevent fogging on mirrors; mirrors are a focal point so choose modern styles that suit the space; and consider storage needs when choosing between a vanity or pedestal sink.

YOUR BATHROOM?
AN EFFECTIVE BATHROOM
DESIGN SHOULD ADDRESS ALL
YOUR NEEDS!

3. HERE ARE SOME OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT TIPS TO CONSIDER
WHEN PLANNING A BATHROOM
RENOVATION.

4. SIT IN A BATHTUB BEFORE
BUYING IT
THE BIGGER THE BATH ISN’T
ALWAYS BETTER. MOST BATHS
OFFER ENOUGH SPACE FOR
YOU TO STRETCH OUT.
IF YOU ONLY HAVE ROOM FOR A
SMALL TUB THEN YOU CAN BUY
AN EXTRA DEEP ONE. ASSESS
THE ANGLED BACK AND LIP FOR
COMFORT AND NECK SUPPORT
BEFORE PURCHASING.

5. DURABLE FLOORING
CERAMIC, MARBLE AND
STONE TILES ARE ALL A
VERY POPULAR BATHROOM
FLOOR CHOICE AS THEY'RE
DURABLE AND WATER-RESISTANT.

6. OPEN SHOWERS
NEED A NEW SHOWER?
CONSIDER BUILDING AN
OPEN-CONCEPT SHOWER
AREA THAT DOESN'T NEED A
CURTAIN OR DOOR AND IS
LESS CONFINING THAN A
STANDARD SHOWER STALL.

7. SUFFICIENT LIGHTING
GOOD LIGHTING IS
IMPORTANT IN A BATHROOM
AS IT'S THE PLACE PEOPLE
TEND TO GO TO FOR THEIR
DAILY SHAVE OR EVEN FOR
APPLYING MAKE UP. YOU'LL
FIND THERE ARE MANY
MIRRORS WITH INPUT
LIGHTING SO DEFINITELY
LOOK OUT FOR THOSE.

8. NO MORE FOG
IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT ONE
ALREADY THEN REMEMBER
TO ADD IN A VENTILATION
FAN TO ELIMINATE STEAM
AND FOG ON MIRRORS!
UNLESS YOU HAVE ONE OF
THOSE FANCY ANTI-FOG
MIRRORS....

9. MODERN MIRROR
MIRRORS ARE ONE OF THE
MAIN VOCAL POINTS OF A
BATHROOM. FROM
BATHROOM MIRRORED CABINETS
TO THE CLASSIC WALL-MOUNTED
ADJUSTABLE
MAKE-UP MIRROR, YOU
CAN'T COMPLETE A
BATHROOM WITHOUT THE
MIRROR.

10. KEEP IT FRESH
EVEN IN A SMALL SPACE,
FLOWERS CAN HELP TO ADD
A FOCUS AND WELCOME
ASPECT TO YOUR
BATHROOM.

11. VANITY VS. PEDESTAL
REMEMBER A PEDESTAL MAY
TAKE UP LESS SPACE
VISUALLY BUT A VANITY UNIT
CAN HELP TO KEEP
STORAGE AND CLUTTER TO
A MINIMUM.

12. NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL
YOUR BATHROOM IS, THE
ELEMENTS FOR THE ULTIMATE
BATHROOM REMAIN THE SAME.

13. IF YOU KEEP TO LIGHT AND
NEUTRAL COLOURS WHEN
RENOVATING YOUR BATHROOM
IT WILL HELP TO MAKE THE
ROOM APPEAR LARGER.

14. HAPPY DECORATING!
