Your bathroom is one of the most important and often used rooms in the house, so you naturally want it to look good. Bathroom renovation can be an expensive and daunting task, but a bit of forward planning helps to make your life much easier later on.

As the bathroom is one of the smallest rooms in your house the design of it will be important. Make sure that you leave enough room to open any cupboards and drawers, and also consider your colour scheme carefully to make the most out of the small space.

Below we have a few tips about the design of the room to help you ensure that your renovation project goes without a glitch, so you can soon be enjoying a nice relaxing bath and admiring your hard work.

• When buying a bathroom mirror make sure that the one you choose is specifically designed for the room. Bathroom mirrors are specially coated to withstand the condensation created in a bathroom.
• If your bathroom is small, consider having a corner sink, bath or storage unit to maximise your use of space.
• When buying a new shower always buy the enclosure and tray together in a set. This will ensure that the two will fit together properly.
• If you only have a small budget, try changing a few of the fittings, such as taps, the toilet seat and accessories, to give the bathroom a new look.
• The lighting you choose for the bathroom is very important for the overall look of the room. Try a mix of directional light and easily dimmed spotlights to create different effects.
• There are many specialists throughout the country who will be able to help you design your bathroom. For a list of suppliers please visit http://www.bathroom-buyers-guide.com/findsupp.htm
