Getting started on your new bathroom design
Your bathroom is the place you go to in order to relax, get rid of the grime of the day and generally spend some time to yourself. If you are planning a new bathroom design for next year, you should be able to plan it to your exact standards, including everything you could ever need for a functional yet luxurious space. To get started on planning your bathroom, there are some key points you need to consider, including your space size, how you plan to use your bathroom and if you are making any serious modifications – extending the room.
Creating the perfect design could be the difference between ending up with your dream bathroom or being left with a space that leaves you wanting more. Our expert bathroom designers and installers at Aylesbury Bathroom Centre have been working with customers for over 16 years to create amazing spaces, using the latest in design technology and even incorporating a 4D set-up for you to use.
Whether you are planning your own bathroom or you would like the help of our qualified experts, Aylesbury Bathroom Centre has put together this handy guide to ensure you don’t miss anything out of your new bathroom design for 2023.
Planning your bathroom design layout
Ultimately, your bathroom design needs to work for you and your family members, so who is to say what is right and wrong with your design? There are, however, some key things that you need to consider in your bathroom space to ensure it’s practical for the family to use and it will support you into the future.
Measure your space
The first thing you will need to do to understand your bathroom layout is to measure your existing space. If you have an oddly shaped bathroom, it may not lend itself well to traditional-sized features such as a bath, so getting your measurements right will help to plan your space. From here, you can also decide whether you plan to extend your current size by extending into the next room. make sure you record your measurements accurately, so you are not disappointed when you find your favourite features don’t actually fit!
Consider your features
Do you have any existing features that you would like to keep in your bathroom? Whether you are a huge fan of your current bath or do, you have a particularly beautiful window you would like to keep in focus? Identifying the current features in your bathroom will help to decide on your layout for your bathroom design and will also help to understand which features (such as an alcove or sloped ceiling) may be more difficult to remove.
Think about new features
Now that you know your measurements and you have an idea of your current features, it’s time to plan your ideal layout. Be sure to make a note of where your door and windows are placed, as this will help to identify the perfect positioning for your new features. Take a look at showers and baths, whether you would like (or have the space for) a vanity unit and map out where these would go in your bathroom design.
Incorporating the smaller details into your bathroom design
You have planned your ideal bathroom layout; you understand the size of your space and, importantly, the budget you have to work with. Now it’s time to take a deep dive into the endless possibilities available for your bathroom suite and the smaller details such as lighting, tap design and smart features. Let’s take a look at the finer details below.
Tiles and colour choices – Tiles are a great choice for bathrooms as they are waterproof and easy to maintain – particularly in busy areas. Choose the colour palette for your bathroom, and then find the perfect wall and floor tiles to match.
Bathroom suites and furniture – with so many options to choose from, bathroom suites can often be a challenge from the beginning. There are so many different styles to choose from, and depending on the size of your bathroom, you will need to consider what is most important to include. We recommend paying a visit to our Exchange Street showroom, which will give you a huge range of options and make your choice slightly easier.
Bathroom Lighting – your bathroom lighting needs careful consideration. Not only does it need to be adequate enough to be able to see what you are doing, but you also need to be aware that turning on the switch in the middle of the night is likely to leave cross family members the next day! Why not consider lighting levels that you can choose depending on when you are in the bathroom? Low lighting levels can be great for a relaxing and tranquil bath as well as a midnight toilet trip, whilst brighter lighting can help with those morning shower wake-up calls.
