Plan your bathroom so that all the members of your family will
enjoy it. Keep the safety of your children in mind when choosing your
flooring and lighting.
Keep the existing service
points in mind when planning your bathroom as rewiring and re-plumbing
takes a lot of time and money.
Think about what you want to
do with your window. Maximise the amount of light that comes in without
having to suffer from glare.
Plan enough different types
of storage. Shelving for products for every day use, cupboards for
occasionally used products and towels, and bins for laundry. In
families, plan also storage for typical children's bathroom accessories
and toys.
Decide whether you have the
space to install a separate shower enclosure or a shower above the bath.
A separate shower will take more space, but two people can use the
bathroom at the same time.
For larger families, a second
cloakroom would come in very handy, especially in the morning when
everybody needs to get ready at the same time.
