Bathroom Design Tips

Whether you're refreshing your bathroom or redesigning the whole lot, we've got some tips for you.

DON'T FORGET STORAGE

When planning your bathroom remember bathrooms look best when they are sleek and minimal. Make sure you include plenty of fitted storage so all toiletries can be hidden from view. Wall mounted mirror cabinets and vanities are ideal for this and if theres enough space add bathroom storage units.

CHOOSING COLOURS

Neutral colours are always best in a bathroom using accessories such as towel rails, soap dispensers, glass shelves to decorated. Coloured towels and designer toiletries will inject personality into you bathroom and they also allow you to reinvent the look more affordably when you feel like a change.

TAPWARE

A handy hint to help protect this investment is install Isolator Filter stops these protect the ceramic disc of your tapware from small particles of dirt that can scratch the cartridge causing the tapware to leak.

When choosing the right shower

When choosing a shower for your new bathroom or renovation you may be left confused by the vast array of shower enclosure shapes and sizes available. In order to make the most informed choice regarding your new shower enclosure, here are a couple of hints.

1. Space and shape:

The amount of space that you have available in your bathroom will often be the most important factor that determines which shower enclosure is suitable for you. A two or three sided square enclosure, or a different shape, curved, angled or rectangular.

The curved design sometimes known as the round front shower, offers an alternative to the angle corner enclosure. The doors slide open, either side into the surround for maximum access, and are ideal where space is a premium; you also get more space inside the shower as the rounded front allows for the full size of the shower tray.

2. Shower frames and handles:

Make sure the colour of your shower frame and door handle match the colours of the vanity handles and accessories, polished aluminium matched chrome tapware.

Also consider the shape of the handles, if you vanity has round bow handles then its good to have the same shape for your shower door handle.

Be sure to ask what the frames and handles are made of as some chrome finishes are only a painted finish. There is also the white frame option and these match most vanities.

3.Waste position:

Then last hint is the shower tray. Where possible choose a tray that has a corner waste as then you are not standing on the waste every time you shower restricting the amount of water that drains out.
