Bath Appearance and Guidelines
Updating your shower design involves more than just deciding what color bathtub to pick! A re-appearance means that you can replace the blueprint and make room for a separate shower and more storage units. The first step is to plan the variety as with kitchens, your local supplier will run off a computer-generated plan based on the bathroom’s dimensions and your particular requirements. Or simply take a sheet of paper outline the existing and measure all on another sheet re-design what you want to include.
If you’re using same layout, make sure the measurements of your shower suite are correct before you go shopping for any replacement so that you know the new items will fit. Re-plumbing is an important item if you want to change the vanity size and re-wiring will push the cost up so stick with the existing service points if at all possible although this may not be un-avoided if you want to change the positioning of the shower.
First decide on the correct place for the bathtub and/or shower. Keep in mind that the drain lines from the vanity and bathtub drain in the soil pipe (toilet) under the floor. If your toilet is in your bath, decide where this will go and then position the vanity. Once the roughing fittings are planned or done you can work out how to use the remaining space which, in modern bathrooms, may be quite limited. Some kind of storage, either tank-topper or shelves – preferably both is required for toiletries, cleaning products, toilet rolls and children’s bath toys. If your bathroom is spacious you may also keep clean towels and your linen basket in there.
Choosing the bath and vanity can be a time-consuming task. Even if you’re not opting for something like a Jacuzzi spa or indoor hot tub, baths come in all shapes and sizes standard oblong, roll-top bath, corner, curved, wider at one end than the other and colors. Unless you desperately yearn for a particular color it’s best to stick with white. It’s clean-looking, inoffensive and will go with any color you decide to use for paint and furnishings. Another color you can choose is biscuit or almond, these are neutral and again you will have many colors to choose with the rest of the enhancement.
Faucets, too, come in a bewildering array of styles – choose an appearance that will complement your shower. Before making your final decision on the bathroom suite it is helpful to check your layout with your plumber to see if there are any potential snags with the plumbing. Even if your window has frosted glass make sure you have a curtain or blind with ‘blackout’ lining unless you want neighbors or passers-by watching the silhouette of you bathing, washing or worse. When it comes to redecorating, remember to use or specify. Similarly, choose paint and wallpaper that will stand up to heat and steam look in the ever-expanding ‘kitchen and shower’ ranges. Pale colors brighten a small shower, especially one with no natural daylight but it’s fun to experiment with color. And a large mirror across one wall, especially the wall opposite the window, will help make a small bathroom look and feel much bigger and lighter. Floor coverings, too, come in all types of material and color but avoid carpet which is impractical and un-hygienic in the bathroom. If you’re installing a shower as a separate feature investigate the different types before deciding which to choose. If you have high water pressure you could opt for a thermo shower which is connected direct to your heating system and keeps the water temperature even.
An electric shower system heats the water itself and is mostly used above the bath. Power showers will give you the ultimate shower experience, even if you have low water pressure. Look for a non-slip surface in both bath and shower. Speak with your plumber and find out that the drainage can take the amount of water your shower is producing an overflowing shower tray can cause serious problems. Above all, the main thing to remember when re-trendin your shower is to choose a variety that works for your lifestyle and let’s not forget about the budget also very important.
