Now that you have your ideas sourced and collated, its time to consider the financial aspect of bathroom design and make a detailed list covering each stage of the project. Breakdown each area as follows:
- Preparation for walls, floors, ceiling, which may include external assistance from Plumbers, Plasters, Electricians and Builders;
- Decorative Materials – paint, wall and floor tiles, glass splashbacks, fabrics, etc
- Fixtures and fittings – sinks/basins, baths, taps and mixers taps, showers etc
- Furniture and storage
- Lighting
- Accessories and finishing touches
- And remember to include budget/final estimated costs for trade’s people such as your plumbers, electricians and builders.
Always allow for a contingency of 15-25% in your overall budget so you’re adequately prepared for any nasty shocks.
Once you have prepared your budget, next comes one of the most fulfilling aspects of bathroom design part – spending it! And there’s no better place than the internet.
You may wish to purchase you bathroom and accessories from one site or alternatively shop around. Always be wary of cheap, unbelievable offers and deals – often these bathroom suites or accessories are ‘cheap’ and poorly manufactured. For further piece of mind, make sure they come with a guarantee or warranty.
Finally, always ask for the very best possible price – you’ll be surprised what levels of discounts retailers can and will offer in return for your business!
