BATHROOM INSPIRATION
Build bathroom
indulgence
When planning and designing
your bathroom, whether
large or small – the key starting
point is knowing what you have to
work with. It’s all very well having
your heart set on an enormous
freestanding bath – but if you don’t
have the room for it, no amount
of money will make it fit! It’s also
important to consider the waterpressure
into your property – you
will need a decent level of pressure
– 2 bar or above to operate high
flow rate shower options such as
body jets or large shower heads.
Once you’ve established how
much room you have and what
shower options are realistic – the
fun part can begin. There are
plenty of different options for every
aspect of your bathroom, so it can
be good to consult your plumber,
although don’t let them push you
into having fittings just because
they find them easy to install – a
bar shower is not for everyone!
Storage is often overlooked –
but you’ll miss it when your shiny
new bathroom is installed and
there’s nowhere to put the loo rolls
and spare towels. Storage can
be achieved in a number of ways
– from drawers in a vanity unit,
to tallboys and cupboards – not
forgetting the old faithful mirror
cabinet. Again, there are lots of
options available – it all depends
on what suits your room.
There are some fantastic focal
point pieces around – from brightly
coloured vanity units, funky radiator
designs and mirrors with lighting
effects , so enjoy yourself and
create a space that’s really yours.
