Choosing The Perfect Shower For Your Bathroom

Our bathroom is a room in our home that is often overlooked, and when we do make changes to it, there is often not enough thought gone into the layout. So, if you are looking to replace your bathroom in the future, here are some things that will help to make your bathroom a place that you love to spend time. 

You usually find that there is limited space available in your bathroom, so it is essential that you utilise proper planning techniques to get the most out of the small amount of space available. If you need some inspiration on what can be done with limited space in your bathroom, look at the Pinterest website which has hundreds of ideas available to inspire you.


Plan Before You Buy

One of the first things that you will need to do in the process of renovating your bathroom is to measure the total space that you must work within. Many of the bigger companies may have CAD design software that can help you with this task, but if you are doing this yourself, you may need to use paper and a pencil and draw a scaled version of your bathroom. Once you know the total area that you have available to you, you can then start to look at what you wish to include in your brand-new bathroom.

Look at Fixture Before the Colour Scheme

There is no point looking for showers for sale online if you already have your heart set on an abstract or uncommon colour, and then look to purchase the fixtures and fittings for your bathroom. When you are after only a specific colour, you will make it a lot harder job to find the fixtures that you like in the colour that you want. The first thing that you should do is decide what your bathroom needs, and then look at colour choices available.

*Showers
*Sinks
*Taps
*Bats
*Toilets
*Bidets
*Medicine Cabinets
*Mirrors
*Tiles
*Flooring

There is a lot to consider before you can go out purchasing the items that you will need for your new bathroom.

To DIY, or Not to DIY?

The next question you will have to ask yourself is am I going to do this job myself, or get a professional to do it for me? If you have extensive experience, as well as all the tools that you need, then you may wish to opt to do the job yourself. However, if you lack in the DIY department, you may want to contact a professional and have them give you a quote for installing your new bathroom. If you are looking for a professional builder to do the job for you, ask for recommendations from friends or family first, before you start your search. If you have no luck there, then try looking at websites such as checkatrade.com, where you will be able to contact a host of different contractors within your local area.

Add the Finishing Touches

Once you have either installed your new bathroom yourself or used the services of a local tradesman, you will then need to finish things off and get the decorating done. As bathrooms are usually small, you should be able to do any painting or wallpapering jobs yourself, which should help you save some money. Once you have finished, you will be left with a brand-new bathroom that looks great and is also practical. If it is too comfortable, you may find that your family starts spending much more time in there and that you have to queue to get in yourself each day!
