LONGER-TERM CHANGES<br />
If you are rethinking your entire room, decide on basic<br />
layout issues at the start. Should the WC be in a separate<br />
room, for example? Do you need to knock down or add<br />
partition walls? Or would you like a walk-in shower,<br />
extensive fitted storage or perhaps a pair of his and hers<br />
basins? Avoid moving existing plumbing, if possible, as it<br />
will save money and effort. However, if the floorplan of<br />
your current bathroom really isn’t working for you, this<br />
one-off plumbing cost could be worth it in the long run.<br />
When thinking about the overall room design, it makes<br />
sense to build shallow false walls within which to hide<br />
cables and pipework, while installing underfloor heating<br />
Feel Great<br />
allows you to remove a radiator, thus freeing up some wall<br />
space for a statement towel warmer as well as providing<br />
cosy, constant heat.<br />
A brand new lighting scheme can provide a real upgrade<br />
and, if you’re renovating the whole bathroom, it may be<br />
possible to install two lighting circuits: one for working<br />
lights and the other, on a dimmer switch, for soothing,<br />
ambient lights. Some gorgeous new flooring is a must: for<br />
the look of luxurious stone or marble on a lower budget,<br />
lookalike porcelain tiles are a great option, while vinyl<br />
flooring comes in a huge range of colours and patterns.
