Bathroom Decor and Design

When planning a new bathroom design or layout, there aren't many absolute rules; it all depends on your taste and preference. However, the tips and guides provided here will provide you with some helpful hints on how to go about designing your ideal bathroom. Adding bathroom accessories to your room takes some consideration and will depend on several factors. The design of one's home will ultimately steer you toward your design theme. For instance an old world style home should have a bathroom designed for that era as a modern style home should be more modern.
When you are planning your bathroom layout, the first thing to do is to list the items that need to be included in your bathroom suite. The obvious items that you would consider include the bath, shower, toilet, and hand basin. The biggest thing about bathroom accessories is the need for them to bring your room to life with a personality of its own. Creating a space that will give you comfort and functionality is what we all want in the end. Some of us may want to try for a more fun filled room while others are more into an elegant and relaxed theme. Each bathroom in your home could be outfitted for the family members that use it most.
The next thing that you should do as you plan your bathroom design is to determine where to position other fixtures, such as an extractor fan, shelves, a laundry basket, a chair/stool, an electric shaver power point, a medicine chest, bathroom cabinet, and a mirror, and whether or not you have sufficient space for additional fixtures such as a light above the mirror or extra shelving or cupboard space. A bathroom is a place to relax, unwind and let the troubles of the day wash away yet many designers don't take this into account, allocating it the smallest space they can in a house and equipping it with only the bare essentials.
Take precise measurements of the dimensions of your bathroom and then use squared paper to draw a floor plan of your working area, taking care to ensure that everything is drawn to scale. This will help to simplify your task immensely. On the drawn plan, mark the current state of your bathroom. Be sure to include the positions of all of the existing services/fixtures, such as the drains, pipes, hot and cold water outlets, electric points, extractor vents/fans, and any other existing bathroom fixtures. This will give you an idea of what needs to be added, removed, or moved. There are many ways to create the perfect, relaxing bathroom through good design and layout, whether you're starting from scratch in a new build, extending a bathroom space or remodelling an existing one in a set space.
