8 Important Factors To Consider Before Renovating Your Bathroom

If you’re looking to achieve the bathroom of your dreams then there are several things you should consider before starting the renovation process, we’ve come up with 8 points to think about…

1. Budget – Keep tabs on cost

The first, and arguably the most important, factor to consider is budget. Setting a budget and having a clear understanding on how much you’re willing to spend on specific products will help you make important decisions during the renovation process.

2. Space Available – Be clever in your design

Typically, the bathroom is the smallest room in the house so it’s important to utilise every centimeter of space you have available. Consider the layout of your bathroom and make sure you record accurate measurements, because there’s nothing more annoying than purchasing fixtures that don’t fit, believe me!

3. Style and Design – What look is it you’re hoping to achieve?

Whether you’re looking to compliment the rest of the rooms in your home or you’re looking to achieve something completely different there are a number of styles and designs that can be achieved in the bathroom. Perhaps you’re looking for something traditional or maybe something a bit more modern, whatever style it is you’re looking to achieve we’ll be able to help you here at H&S Bathroom Showroom.

4. Taps – Consider which style would best suit your new bathroom

The small things can make a huge difference, which is why it’s important to carefully consider the style of taps you opt for. In today’s day and age there are a large selection of taps on the market so making a decision isn’t as straightforward as you’d think. Again consider the style you’re hoping to achieve and make a decision with this in mind.

5. Storage Requirements – keep your dream bathroom organised and tidy

If you’re struggling for space try and be storage savvy. Invest in furniture that has plenty of storage space without reducing floor space. For example vanity units are perfect, taking up little space they provide fantastic storage whilst fitting in with the style of your choice.

Be clever and make the most of the space you have, shelving units or a niche in the shower will provide suitable storage solutions for all shampoos and shower gels.

6. Accessories – add those finishing touches

No bathroom renovation is complete without new accessories. Imagine spending a large sum of money on a brand new bathroom suite only for it to be ruined by an old, rusty toilet roll holder? So take time to consider the accessories you’ll need and add those all important finishing touches to your dream bathroom.

7. Heating – How do you plan on keeping your bathroom warm?

Keep your bathroom cosy by installing a high quality heating system. Kill two birds with one stone and invest in a heated towel rail, ideal for those with limited space or stick to a more traditional radiator, available in various styles.

Underfloor heating is an affordable, effective feature that will increase the temperature of every bathroom, helping to improve comfort and warmth. We stock underfloor heating systems suitable for all budgets!

8. Contractors – select a contractor you trust

Save yourself time and effort in the long run by hiring a reliable contractor to complete your bathroom renovation. By doing this you’ll reduce the likelihood of problems occurring in the long run. You’ll also have peace of mind knowing an industry expert has installed your bathroom.
