Planning a bathroom renovation is an exciting, but sometimes overwhelming, challenge.
There’s lots to think about, from tiles to taps, to toilets and finishing touches. Before you get stuck in the planning process, it pays to take a step back and assess the situation fully. In this article, we’re going to share 5 tips that will help you plan your bathroom renovation.
This one seems obvious but you’d be surprised how many people jump straight into the pretty stuff without stopping to think about the practical.
Really understand why you are renovating your bathroom, is it because you have no storage? Is it because you’re longing for a bathtub? Is it because the layout isn’t working for you?
Understanding your current problems will help you plan a new bathroom that meets all of your needs.
Another very important tip, measure carefully. There’s nothing worse than setting your heart on a beautiful tub only to realise it won’t fit in your space.
Measure up, then measure again for good measure! Not only will this help you select the right fittings for your space, but it will also help you pull together accurate quotes for things like tiles and flooring, so you can keep on top of your budget.
Some bathroom renovations will be like-for-like, fitting a new bath in the space of the old one and swapping out the toilet and sink for replacements. But some bathroom renovations will involve a rejig.
If your bathroom renovation project involves a rejig, you need to think carefully about your layout. It can be hard to properly visualise the space without the fittings in it so we have one tip that might help you…
TIP: If you have a big enough lounge, garden or drive you can use tape to mock up your bathroom layout. Measure out the shape of your bathroom and then recreate that on the floor elsewhere. Then you can use tape to play around with the position of the sink, bath, shower and toilet to see which configuration works best for you.
The inspiration part is usually the stage most homeowners are most excited for. Picking out tiles, finding the right grout, choosing the right taps and finishing touches, it’s definitely the most enjoyable part of the planning process!
Just make sure you don’t get into this phase too early. You need to take the time to think about your needs, your space size and your layout, so you can be sure you’re choosing fixtures and fittings that you won’t regret.
