Getting Started with bathroom design

After choosing a new home, it is of vital importance to bear in mind that the two most frequently used rooms in any household are the bathroom and the kitchen. Often new property owners fail to take this into consideration and end up either over-budget, with no money left to spend on creating the type of bathroom where they will feel comfortable and able to relax at the end of a busy day, or fail to adopt an overall view of the bathroom design and find themselves with a collection of ill-assorted articles with no relation to each other.

Remember that the appearance of your bathroom gives an immediate indication of who you are and the lifestyle you lead.

And this is not only for the sake of appearances. Do you have time to relax? Are you choosing a shower because it can be quicker than taking a bath? Do you need a bath? And if so, which design is more appropriate in terms of space or price? A corner bath? A luxury or standard sized tub? Perhaps a whirlpool bath or even a Jacuzzi?

Have you children? In which case you will need a child-friendly bathroom, perhaps with a novelty lavatory seat and  shower curtain. And then there are the safety factors. Where to position the medicine cabinet? Where do you store items such as razor blades, deodorants, cleaning products? Do you need to dry clothes in the bathroom and need a laundry basket and clothes line?

Remember, the bathroom is a functional area as well as a haven of relaxation.
