Bathroom Renovation Guide – Plan, Design & Build With Confidence
Planning a bathroom renovation? Whether you’re updating a small ensuite or designing a luxury master bathroom, this guide covers layout, budget, materials, and product selection so you achieve a space that looks beautiful and works perfectly.
Step 1 – Define Your Goals & Budget
- Decide your priorities: style upgrade, more storage, better functionality, or accessibility.
- Set a realistic budget and include a 10–15% buffer for surprises.
- List must-haves vs nice-to-haves to guide decisions.
Step 2 – Plan Your Layout
- Measure the room and note existing plumbing and electrical points.
- Consider traffic flow, storage access, and task lighting.
- Small bathrooms benefit from wall-hung vanities and mirrored cabinets to open up space.
Step 3 – Choose Key Products
- Vanities: Wall-hung for a modern, airy feel; freestanding for classic presence.
- Tapware: Match finish to your style—chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, brass/gold.
- Showers & Baths: Walk-in showers maximise space; freestanding baths add spa luxury.
- Toilets & Basins: Choose quality ceramics with durable glazing and warranties.
Step 4 – Finishes & Details
- Tiles, lighting, and accessories set the tone—keep the palette consistent.
- Plan task, ambient, and accent lighting (mirror lighting is a game-changer).
- Ventilation is essential to protect finishes and prevent mould.
