    Professionals Are Rare: Getting Into Bathroom Design

    Finding professionals who can create beautiful, cutting-edge bathrooms is harder than ever. Many talented young people are trying their luck in other sectors, leaving good professionals in the industry under a lot of pressure. This leaves room for less qualified builders to move in. Lots of Mr. Fix-It types are focusing on plumbing maintenance. Seeing people struggle to get a drain unplugged. The competence in bathroom design creates a big question mark.

    Professional companies with a good reputation for quality service might charge a little more upfront, but you can save in the long run by avoiding callbacks and extra charges. There are customer reviews at local websites but do companies with good reviews also have fresh bathroom design ideas? The answer would be most likely be, No! Even experienced professionals will more often suggest what they already know, and since bathroom design has evolved, this is not helpful.

    How do we get out of this dilemma? First of all, educate yourself so you know what you want. Homeowners and designers should follow up on new solutions, plan, and ask for new design, since it will never be proposed otherwise.

    Once you have prepared a plan of what you want your bathroom to look like, pick a reputable company and discuss your ideas. Manufacturers provide detailed information so your installer can easily get all the details once you’ve made your choice. Now you are in a position to get picky and support the professional fulfill your dream design.

    Checklist – Designing a Bathroom

    1. Get an idea of what room size is required/available

    2. Allocate walls for bathroom objects (toilet, bathtub etc.)

    3. Review necessary space for each bathroom object (keep space for windows/doors/heater in consideration)

    4. Decide on possible bathroom objects, keeping available space in consideration

    5. Figure out the structural material for all bathroom walls (e.g. brick walls, gypsum boards, wood)

    6. Find out what drainage/drinking water pipe sizes are available and where are these located

    7. Make sure the bathroom object locations correspond with drainage pipes (especially the toilet, which needs close to 4" waste pipes)

    8. Decide on electrical appliances (spots, illumination, heater, vents, radio, etc.) and where they should go

    9. Finally, decide on a general bathroom style and preferred colors

    10. Make a simple drawing (including all above points) and review it a few times before meeting the bathroom professional

    Not sure where to start? The 12 bathroom showcases should provide a solid overview of ideas!

    Bathroom Layout

    Second only to kitchens, bathroom design requires ample time and detailed planning. A detailed analysis of the characteristics of the available space is imperative prior to construction, since any changes after installing drinking water and drainage pipes are highly difficult to make. Placement of doors and windows, ventilation, heaters and light must also be carefully considered. Last but not least, the bathroom design should mirror an individual’s requirements and offer the opportunity for personalization.

    Before planning your bathroom, ask yourself:

    1. How often the bathtub will be used?

    2. How much storage space is needed?

    3. How many people use the bathroom?

    4. What does the user/s want?

    This will determine the size, fittings, furniture, types of heating, and illumination, as well as whether a bidet and/or shower will be installed.

    The amount of available space further determines the character of bathrooms.  In smaller rooms, it is better to go for a bathtub-less shower, wall-hung toilet, and a small sink. A vanity and bidet can be eliminated. The selection of brighter material, simplicity of line and an ordered layout will contribute to a better overall bathroom appearance.
