Fantasising about designing your dream bathroom? While the bathroom may be the smallest room in the house, it certainly doesn't have to have the smallest personality. A bathroom is just like a kitchen, it is one of the hardest-worked spaces in the home, and if it’s not comfortable, clean, functional and pretty, the entire household will fall apart.

Nowadays, bathrooms are far more than just a workspace where one cleans up for the day ahead or unwinds after a hard day – today’s modern bathrooms offer aesthetic beauty, superior functionality, comfort, and a clean and tranquil space for absolute relaxation. Just like the perfect kitchen design, the perfect bathroom design is all about the perfect mix of innovation, inspiration and indulgence. However, this doesn’t always come easy or cheap – designing your dream bathroom can be overwhelming and expensive. You have to worry about budget, space, materials, plumbing and all the necessary fixtures that go with it. Well, at Bella Bathrooms and Tiles, we’re here to make your bathroom remodelling venture much easier with our guide to the perfect bathroom design.

Think Function and Map Your Space Well

Ask any bathroom designer and they will all tell you that planning, good information and careful thought are the key ingredients to the perfect bathroom design. But first and foremost, you must evaluate your plumbing, as this will directly impact where you place your basin, taps, bath and shower. Once you have examined your space, plumbing and electrics, and have drawn out a bathroom plan, you can move onto choosing your stylish fittings, such as your bathroom basin, taps, bath and shower.

Practical, Modern or Traditional Baths and Showers

It’s no secret that the bath is “King of the bathroom” andas the main focal point, this is one feature that you need to get right. However, when it comes to baths, bigger is not always better. While you certainly don’t want a bath tub that is too long, you don’t want a bath tub that is too short either, but this decision is going to be dictated by your bathroom size. If your bathroom is too small and a shower and a bath will not fit, you can opt for a shower bath. However, if your bathroom is of a generous size, then you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to baths and showers.

Your choices include built-ins, freestanding baths, shower baths and spa baths that come in a wide range of sizes and materials. When it comes to your shower, it’s extremely important to remember that your showerhead makes your shower. And while showerheads come in an array of sizes and finishes, just make certain that you have a shower arm installed that fits your showerhead. Another point to consider is your shower controls. Did you know that 90% of showers have their controls right under the showerhead? If you want to control the temperature of your water without injury, then place them as far away from the showerhead as possible.

Add Drama and Elegance with Simplistic, Modern Basins and Taps

Setting the tone for the entire bathroom,basins can give your bathroom the elegant edge. But before you sink your money into just any basin, do some research and make your choice from top mount basins, undermount basins, wall-mounted basins, pedestal basins, semi-recessed basins, washplane basins, vessel basins and all-in-one countertop basins. And if you’re worried about colour, you can’t go wrong with white, black granite, glass or natural stone. Once you’ve discovered the perfect modern basin for your bathroom, then it’s time to consider the jewels of the bathroom, your taps.Taps can add a dramatic effect to any space, which is why the market is flooded with an array of styles that range from pillar, mixer, monobloc mixer and wall mounted, to deck mounted and freestanding taps. When it comes down to finding the right elegant tap design, it’s all about durability, functionality and style.
