1. Plan Meticulously First (Image 1 of 6)
Planning a new bathroom? First take a stroll through our guide.
Layout
The location of the plumbing affects everything else, so this must be decided first to save you money. As a rule of thumb, there are three key bathroom layouts that work for most houses.
In a small bathroom you should:
- Use corner units for basins, baths or showers to make the most of the space.
- Combine the shower and bath.
- Don't put in a bath at all if you only take showers - though you need to consider whether this might be a problem when coming to resell. Use smaller sizes for basins and baths.
- Re-hang the door to open outwards or install a sliding door.
- Consider under floor heating, as there may not be the wall space for a radiator or heated towel rail.
