Making plans

The new bathroom is a lighter, brighter space and feels like an indulgent sanctuary, with rolltop bath, separate walk-in shower and double vanity unit

YVONNE’S TIPS

Only purchase items you really love and the design will fall into place naturally

Don’t compromise on quality fixtures and fittings in a bathroom, as day-to-day use will soon take its toll on poor-quality items

Lighting is important in creating the right feel, and there are lots of options with suitable IP ratings

If you’re working on a whole-house renovation, or multiple projects within a property, submit planning applications in one go wherever possible, to save time and incurring additional fees later on
