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.
