Bathroom design ideas can be sourced from a wide range of areas. Start by browsing the latest interior magazines - supermarket shelves are full of home improvement titles or visit your local library or book shop for bathroom design journals and publications.
Visit your local bathroom/home improvement stores on the high street. Depending on where you live, there is sure to be a major DIY/Home Improvement supermarket as well as more niche specialist independent retailers. Pick up literature and make notes while in store, speak to the staff to gain knowledge on what the current trends are in bathroom design.
And of course, use the internet. There are currently over 1.6 million results under the search term ‘bathroom design’ on Google alone.
Consider themes such as classical with ornate fixtures and fittings including sumptuous freestanding baths and traditional brassware; or something more modern and contemporary with coloured glass splashbacks, a glass vanity worktop and mirrors complemented by designer chrome taps with ceramic freestanding basins.
You may want to keep a scrapbook of cuttings sourced in magazines and books or book mark various websites and store in your web browser ‘Favourites’.
If you are feeling really creative why not prepare a mood board – include photographs/images, fabrics, paint swatches, tiles and any notes or artefacts which will provide a working ‘picture’ of the look and feel you want to achieve.
Once you have sourced information you can begin to formulate your ideas and prepare your budget.
