8 Top Tips for a Dream Bathroom Renovation
Everyone dreams of a new, stylish, comfortable bathroom. We?re here to tell you that you can make the dream a reality ? it doesn't cost the earth to create a stunning bathroom space. Whether you are completely refitting the bathroom or making a few much-needed tweaks, take a look at these hints and tips for the perfect bathroom makeover.
- Pay Attention to the Floor
Natural stone flooring is cool to the touch and looks timeless. It is also water-resistant and highly durable (both essential properties for a bathroom). If you want something a bit warmer, try a hardwood floor but make sure it is properly sealed to avoid trapping moisture.
- Think Elegance and Smooth Lines
Whether you prefer a traditional style or something sleek and modern, the best bathroom fittings are smooth, gently curved, and timeless in their design. Blocky cabinets and chunky, angular shower enclosures are a thing of the past. Look at the style of bathroom furniture and fittings today and you will see how the soft curves provide an attractive flow around the room.
- Try a Bathtub for Size
You don't have to get the biggest tub you can find ? if you are on a budget then a more compact bath may suit you better. Measure the space you need and if in doubt, go deeper rather than longer. Our modern tubs are designed for all sizes, and you can also find corner tubs if space is at a premium.
- Install a Stunning Mirror
Take a look at the range of illuminated mirrors available and you will wonder how you lived without this functional bathroom accessory. If you want something more traditional-looking, pick a mirror in an ornate frame. Mirrors are crucial in a bathroom and you can make a style statement when you pick a mirror that'stands out in your space.
- Consider a Shower Area
If you have the space then an open-sided shower area is a great, stylish addition to the bathroom and allows for a more comfortable and free bathing experience. Make sure that the area is properly sealed and drainage has been installed to take water away from the area.
- Pick a Steam Shower
On the other hand, if you want a more contained shower experience then the best shower to pick is a specialist steam shower. You get the benefits of a modern, good looking shower unit with the health advantages of steam ? and the luxurious pleasure of relaxing in the steam after a hard day at work.
- Install Dimmers and Extra Lights
As well as an illuminated wall mirror you should have dimmer switches for the overhead light, and extra lights on the walls to provide a soft glow in the evenings. A great bathroom has great lighting. In the daytime maximise the flow of natural light by keeping the windows covered with a sheer shade.
- Buy a Good Quality Suite
You don't have to spend masses of money but you should go for quality over a cheap suite that won?t last. Your bathroom is an investment, so pay attention to the right suite for your needs, which will also stand the test of time.
