inspired bathroom design ideas for your new happy place

Designing your bathroom is an exciting opportunity to show your personal style and vision, but it also comes with challenges as you must ensure both functionality and style. When taking on a bathroom design project you'll need to think about the room layout, fixtures, materials and colour schemes, among many other factors. In this blog, we are looking at 8 areas of your bathroom, giving essential tips, design ideas, and a few key things to think about when creating the bathroom of your dreams.

layout

One crucial aspect is floor space. It's essential to carefully plan the placement of fixtures to maximize the available floor area and create an open, comfortable environment. Leaving plenty of space around the toilet, basin, and shower to move freely is essential to avoid a bathroom that feels cramped.

basins

The days of standard white basins on a pedestal are over! You now have the choice from wall hung, vanity units, corner basins, sunken in basins and counter top basins. Why stick to standard when there are so many options to choose from. View our showroom gallery for more inspiration.

bath panels

Replace that flimsy white plastic bath panel with something a bit more stylish. Consider a more traditional look with a shaker style bath panel. Made from robust materials like wood or MDF, these panels are built to last and require minimal maintenance. See more photos of this bathroom here.

hexagon tiles

Hexagon shaped tiles are becoming a more popular choice due to their unique look. Despite their shape these tiles are still easy to install and give all the benefits needed for a long lasting stylish bathroom. There are also more ways to create a bespoke finish with this type of tile, think outside the box for your bathroom with hexagon tiles.

mirrors

Deciding on a bathroom mirror may be a harder choice than you think… should you go square, round or random in shape, with or without a cabinet, you have the option of heated demisters to stop any steam collecting, backlight mirrors, decorative mirrors with or without shaver/toothbrush power outlets. We are here to help with any design choices you are faced with so feel free to get in touch with us to discuss your new bathroom.

storage

Storage is another consideration in any bathroom design, especially in family homes. Adequate storage solutions are essential for keeping the space well organised and clutter-free. Think about incorporating built-in cabinets, shelves, or vanity units as this can help optimise storage while maintaining a clean and streamlined look.

practicality 

It's essential to think about how many people may be using the bathroom potentially at the same time, especially if there are children in the household. When designing the layout, consider whether there will be enough space for two people to use the bathroom simultaneously without feeling cramped or crowded. This may involve incorporating dual basins or separate areas for showering and getting ready to accommodate the needs of multiple users.

recessed niches

Bathroom niches create a clean and streamlined finish. These recessed spaces offer convenient storage for toiletries, bath products, plants or ornaments. Additionally, niches can be finished with various materials to create a different look in a particular area of the room. Just make sure you have the correct wall construction to fit the right size niche, leaving enough shelf space once it has been tiled.
