Designing your new bathroom can sometimes be problematic and throw up a few questions, such as ‘where do I spend most of my budget?’ or ‘how can I make my bathroom stylish yet functional?’ Here is a short guide from the professionals at DW Heating & Plumbing on how to design your bathroom.
- When buying a bathroom suite, if on a budget spend more money on taps than on the basin as cheap taps don’t last long and are harder to repair – costing more in the long run.
- When picking the bathroom suite, make sure the taps and shower are correct for your water system as most modern taps and showers are made for high pressure systems and will not give you a good flow rate on a conventional system. This means a low water pressure when showering.
- Consider an extractor fan to prevent damp. This can be problematic for bathrooms with little ventilation.
- Be sure on the positioning of the suite and try laying out different options to ensure you won’t change your mind (you’ll be surprised on how many do).
- Finally, know which style you want. Look for inspiration online or in magazines to get ideas. Pinterest is particularly good for this.
