Posted by Bathreno on August 22nd, 2019

Though each and every area of your house is very important to maintain and look after, but bathrooms just need a little more attention, as they are the most used part of your home.

Bathroom renovation is an easy way to spruce up your home and it is something which cannot be undertaken many times. Therefore, a lot of focus should go before you choose any kind of brand or style for bathroom fittings and other accessories.

You need to shop for your bathroom fittings like the basin mixer, shower mixer, sliding door (though optional), tap ware, turbo toilet, shower set and so on so that your interior designer or an architect plans the fixing of these fittings accordingly. It is quite tedious and taxing to amend things around.

But before you start taking measurements to start the work, you should step-by-step plan out your bathroom renovation, so that you know what you are getting into.

Here is a very useful guide to bathroom remodel:

• Color scheme and style: First and foremost, choose the perfect color and style to match with the rest of your décor. For e.g. make sure the new chosen bathroom tiles match perfectly with your paint.

The color of bathroom fitting you choose should be in sync with the fittings. For e.g. you select grey color tiles then try looking for all bathroom fittings in black, like- black shower base, black bathtub and black basin. Remember, once the color or styling is done, it is very difficult to change the entire set up.

• Storage spaces: Try having fixtures in order to hang towels, napkins and keep toiletries in place.

Instruct to accommodate some kind of small and sleek cabinets and shelves, so that your bathroom looks neat and tidy all the time. Therefore, storage spaces are important for your bathroom.

• Work out your budget: Before commencing any work and once you are done with planning of all the above things, you have to chalk down how much you are willing to spend.

Remember to choose a good company that offers the best Melbourne renovation. Cheap tapware might aesthetically appear fine, however after a while, needs plumbing maintenance.

• Here is a list of things you need to focus and spend on:

1. Plumbing
2. Electrical
3. Carpentry work ( for e.g. demolition, fitting of accessories and framing of niches)
4. Tiling labor
5. Exhaust fans/ceiling fans and lighting
6. Vanity, which includes cabinetry
7. Waste disposal
8. Labor and painting materials
9. Gyporocking
10. Drains (for floor waste and shower)
11. Waterproofing

A good planning done before will not only save you enough time, effort but will even help you to plan your budget accordingly. For e.g. very fondly you bought and installed some bathroom fittings that do not go well with the latest Kitchen Mixer then all your money will go waste.

Therefore, the trick is to spend little extra time with your architect, to discuss things around and then execute the final work.
