The Bathroom Layout

Completing the layout is the first and most important stage in any new bathroom renovation. Whether your bathroom is spacious or compact, carefully planned layouts will ensure that everything is functional and comfortable. Start by deciding where to put the main fixtures, such as the shower, bathtub, sink and toilet. Consider the best way to access the plumbing. It is possible to move pipes, but it is more difficult and expensive. Make a plan in advance and make sure there is enough room for objects to be moved, cleaned, and stored comfortably. Our providers include layout planning in our design consultations to help you make the most of your available space and avoid typical mistakes.

The Design Process

After deciding on a layout, it's time to start designing your bathroom. Whether you're looking for a clean minimalist look, an opulent spa aesthetic, or a traditional period design, this is where you can really customise the area. Things to consider: Tile selection (colour, texture, and size) Fixture finishes (such as brass, chrome, and black) Panels with features and wall finishes The flooring that connects everything The designers can help you visualise the space and recommend materials based on your budget and personal tastes.
