PLANNING YOUR BATHROOM - A FEW IDEAS TO START THE PROCESS

Much like a kitchen, your definition of a bathroom may vary to say that of your neighbour's. To some, it is the ultimate retreat - a place to relax and soak away the worries of the day. To others, it must meet the needs of young and old alike. The bathroom is often like a train station - getting the family prepared for the day one-by-one. Some prefer the bathroom to be minimalistic; others seek solutions to a storage crisis and have cupboard space high on the list of priorities. A bathroom is a delicate balance between practicality, quality and comfort. To help find what your bathroom needs is, below is a list of a few things to consider when thinking of your new bathroom.

Along with the below checklist we have also provided you with a downloadable checklist which is a good starting point for planning your new bathroom. When you decide to meet with our consultant or designer it would be helpful if you brought this checklist with you, that way we can make sure that nothing important is left out when discussing your needs.

 
You should take into consideration important aspects such as:
  • Bathroom area: What size would you like your new bathroom to be? Length, width, height of room
  • Adjoining areas: Is your next bathroom an en suite, this should be taken into consideration. What style of bathroom would suite your bedroom?
  • How would you like the bathroom to function? Assess your family's requirements. No point having a stunning bathroom if it does not accommodate its users.
  • Do you have any physical restrictions or safety concerns? How would you like to access the shower? Will high cupboards be within reach? Will children be using this bathroom?
  • Consider your storage requirements: Is shopping done in bulk? How much laundry needs to be accommodated?
  • Consider finishes you may prefer: Tiles, stone, laminate, glass - a myriad of materials can be worked into a successful bathroom design, but they must be practical in their application.

As you can see there are many things to consider when planning your bathroom? We have prepared a downloadable form that can assist with helping you decide on the bathroom of your dreams. And remember if you have any questions, TRENDS is here to help you every step of the way.

CURRENT BATHROOM TRENDS

A multitude of matching mirrors and mirrored cabinets, with or without lighting, add the perfect finishing touch to the furnishing designed for "mini bathrooms." Soap dispensers, towel holders, and a wide array of bathroom accessories not only enhance the look of the washing area but also serve a functional purpose.

The matching toilet in either a wall-mounted or freestanding version is an undeniable "must"! Toilets with a particularly short projection are true problem-solvers wherever space is especially tight. A urinal, either with or without lid, is an added installation option many are installing for their male guests.

Sleek extra large wall boards are ideal for making use of the otherwise wasted space above the toilet while the oversized vanity unit with fold-out towel basket offers a practical addition to a high-traffic bathroom.
