Bathroom design starts long before you choose tiles or taps. In this episode, we break down the layout and planning decisions that make a bathroom comfortable, functional and easy to live with.
What we cover
- Why bathroom layouts should be decided early in a renovation
- Planning clearances - it's recommended to have a space 800mm wide and 700mm deep for your toilet
- Keeping the toilet out of the main sightline where possible
- Wall-mounted taps, channelled walls, and other early plumbing decisions
- Shower planning, including tileable shower trays (only when the area is properly tanked)
- Lighting and electrics - we love wall lights and demister pads
- Storage solutions - alcove shelves
Items mentioned
- IKEA FAXÄLVEN mirror with integrated light
- Roberto Tiranti concrete sink (Etsy)
- Naka shower shelves
This episode focuses on the planning stage of bathroom design - getting the layout right before plumbing, electrics and finishes are locked in.
