Bathrooms are an exciting space in the home, the first place you go to get ready for your day and the last space where you can relax and unwind from a big day, so when redesigning the space, a common mistake many Sydney homeowners make is by not taking the time to plan properly which results in the bathroom not functioning effectively.
It’s essential you decide what you want to incorporate into your design before you plan the layout. Our bathroom designer Summar has collated the must-have features to include in your bathroom design to ensure its functionality.
It’s all in the planning
The key to a functional bathroom design is ensuring the design takes into consideration your lifestyle as well as the needs of your family. You need to consider who will be using the bathroom and what inclusions will you need to make your life a whole lot easier.
For example – do you have a growing family or younger children? Then a solution for your bathroom would need to include a bathtub that is easy to access, reasonable height, soft curves, and swivel tapware to ensure the children don’t hit their heads. Perhaps you may need to consider durable tapware and storage solutions. The best way to get your bathroom design right the first time is to prepare and consider these things in advance.
