Bli ful bathroom?


Engaging a specialist bathroom
designer will make planning the
perfect bathroom a breeze. A
design professional will ensure
your new bathroom is beautiful,
practical and safe. The best
bathroom designers will:


  • assess your family’s requirements – no
    point having a stunning bathroom if it’s
    not functional for you and your family;

  • consider waterproofi ng, drainage,
    falls to floor wastes etc., and have
    an excellent understanding of the
    relevant Building Codes;

  • advise on the suitability of products
    such as tiles, stone, laminate and glass.
    A myriad of materials can be worked
    into a bathroom design, but they must
    be as practical as they are pretty;

  • discuss realistic time frames and the
    order of works: the amount of work
    in a bathroom renovation is often
    underestimated – you’ll need a plumber,
    waterproofer, tiler, electrician, painter
    and maybe even a carpenter, and each of
    these trades will need suffi cient time to
    carry out their tasks well. How long are you
    prepared to live without a bathroom?
