Creating the ideal bathroom can be more complicated than it first appears! Consider these three crucial elements:

1. Layout

Make sure you have an efficient layout in the planning stages. Many bathrooms are limited in size and you may need to work smart to create a feeling of space and serenity. We recommend a toilet seat that’s wall hung, giving you more floor space and allowing you to easily clean underneath it. Make sure your WC outlet is in the right location for the toilet, and confirm what’s possible with your plumber. Also make sure your shower is located so that water doesn’t spill out over the WC / vanity area!

2. Lighting

Controllable lights are a must in your bathroom, so you can set the mood depending on the time of day and dim them when you’re unwinding with your evening bath! For lights around a vanity mirror, make sure they’re around the mirror or beside it – never above the mirror. Lights above your face cast shadows and are seriously unflattering!

3. Added luxuries

Those considered elements that make a real difference to your life! Like automated toilets – a bidet and toilet in one with a warm seat, warm water and self cleaning technology. The newer models of these look luxurious too. Heated towel rails are also a simple but impactful update to your bathroom, especially in the colder months. 

Bonus tip: avoid basins that sit above the bench, like in this photo. While they do look beautiful, in our experience they are difficult to clean.
