BATHROOMS<br />

Build bathroom<br />

indulgence<br />

When planning and designing<br />

your bathroom, whether<br />

large or small – the key starting<br />

point is knowing what you have to<br />

work with. It’s all very well having<br />

your heart set on an enormous<br />

freestanding bath – but if you don’t<br />

have the room for it, no amount<br />

of money will make it fit! It’s also<br />

important to consider the waterpressure<br />

into your property – you<br />

will need a decent level of pressure<br />

– 2 bar or above to operate high<br />

flow rate shower options such as<br />

body jets or large shower heads.<br />

Once you’ve established how<br />

much room you have and what<br />

shower options are realistic – the<br />

fun part can begin. There are<br />

plenty of different options for every<br />

aspect of your bathroom, so it can<br />

be good to consult your plumber,<br />

although don’t let them push you<br />

into having fittings just because<br />

they find them easy to install – a<br />

bar shower is not for everyone!<br />

Storage is often overlooked –<br />

but you’ll miss it when your shiny<br />

new bathroom is installed and<br />

there’s nowhere to put the loo rolls<br />

and spare towels. Storage can<br />

be achieved in a number of ways<br />

– from drawers in a vanity unit,<br />

to tallboys and cupboards – not<br />

forgetting the old faithful mirror<br />

cabinet. Again, there are lots of<br />

options available – it all depends<br />

on what suits your room.<br />

There are some fantastic focal<br />

point pieces around – from brightly<br />

coloured vanity units, funky radiator<br />

designs and mirrors with lighting<br />

effects , so enjoy yourself and<br />

create a space that’s really yours.
