Planning to redesign or remodel your bathroom by adding new features, colours or appliances can prove to be a fantastic way of bringing a new feel to the room. Residents are bound to notice a change in the rooms look and practicality when a small change is made, but if you are planning to completely overhaul your bathroom then you are going to have to look at making a few more significant changes.

One thing you should always consider before you start ANY redecorating or refurbishing is the overall style and them you are looking to create; it’s important that your decide on the right colours and features for the room before you begin tearing it apart. Try sketching out (or have someone who’s nifty with a pencil sketch for you) a rough draft of what you would like the room to look like upon completion, whilst considering how you would like the furnishings to look. This will show roughly the sort of furnishings you should be looking for; for example, if you prefer the free standing, classic style baths then consider adding one of these with some well-matched accessories and bathroom furniture.

This is where paying attention to details can really help bring the design of your bathroom together; smaller features that express the same design, theme of feel are sure to show a consistency in design throughout the house. You can effectively continue to add style to the room through features such as radiators, towel rails/heaters, soap dishes/dispensers, vanity units, mirrors and storage units. All of these features can be bought in a wide range of styles and designs, allowing you to strategically match each object with the overall design of the room.

Try to consider the colour of each object before purchasing; think about how the tone will look when added to your new bathroom and how that looks in contrast to the colours that already exist within the room. Carefully choosing objects and products that complement the room is a simple yet effective way of adding character and life to a newly decorated/refurbished.

Remember, consistency in colour, design and style is the most effective way of showing your new bathroom is the product of a carefully thought out plan. If executed properly, the finished product can truly be something to wow friends, family and other visitors to your home.
