You may be looking for stunning bathrooms for your home for a completely brand-new look, or to replace an old worn-out bathroom. This article will discuss five important things to consider while you’re in the planning stages of your renovation. In these early stages, it can be worthwhile to visit the showroom of specialist bathroom suppliers like Vinci Living. Seeing some of the design concepts and limitations explored in this article in context can be hugely beneficial.

Plan the Space

It’s really important to plan the layout of your new bathroom. The most cost effective solution is to ensure that all of the inlet and outlet pipes for the shower, sink, toilet and bath are located together. To keep it even simpler, keep these elements in their original positions and simply upgrade the style and quality of each, without altering the layout. Don’t forget some of the smaller items like toilet roll holders and towel rails in the planning period. If they’re not considered in the early stages, there may not actually be a suitable place for installation at the end. This is why it can be beneficial to hire contractors like Amiano and Son home remodeling services, so they can provide their expertise within the process, from planning to executing the project.

Electrical Access

Unless you can make do without a hair dryer, straightener, curler, or clippers, your bathroom will probably need at least one electrical outlet. For functional reasons, you’ll want to install an outlet within one meter of the sink and mirror. When figuring out the placement of your electrical outlets, you’ll want to search for “electrician Cheltenham” (or wherever you live) to consult with a professional about where you would like to have them installed and to see if it is feasibly possible without having to open up your walls. You also need to make sure that cords won’t be draped across wet areas such as the basin or the bath in order to use appliances at the mirror.

Bathroom Colour Schemes

Unless you’re a skilled interior designer with a flair for colour schemes, it’s often best to stick with three basic colours. Do a little online research to find which three colours work best together. When you’ve selected your scheme, you’ll need to work out how to implement it throughout the room. To keep it simple, main colour should be used in the shower and floor tiles, bath and basin. A primary accent colour should be used on the walls and cabinets. A secondary accent colour should be used sparingly in accent tiles, trim and accessories.

Double Vanity or Two Bathrooms

The incorporation of the double vanity has become increasingly popular over the last decade. It gives couples the freedom to get ready at the same time, without any arguments over who gets to use the basin and mirror. A few daring designers are taking the idea a step further. When presented with a sizeable bathroom to remodel, they’re actually splitting the space in two to create two separate bathroom areas. With a bit of interior planning and the help of experts in plumbing Kamloops (or elsewhere more relevant), the bathrooms can be specifically designed for each partners’ needs in a smaller form factor that’s cosy for one person use.

Tile Removal in Older Homes

Aside from the plumbing, tiling can often be the most expensive item on the bathroom remodel budget. It’s not just the cost of the tiles and the tradesperson to lay them. Those old tiles also need to be removed, a costly and time-consuming process that many first-time renovators don’t consider. This is an especially important consideration in older homes. Depending on how your original tiles were installed, entire walls might have to be removed and the concrete floor ground back. This can be a nasty, unexpected shock to your budget.

Keep these ideas in mind as you plan and execute your bathroom renovation – you might end up with a more stylish, more functional space!
