your room. Tile effect vinyl is a popular choice for homebuilders on a budget and can create a slick finish without breaking the bank. Wallpaper in bathrooms is also becoming hugely popular, and this is a great way of introducing a bold design centrepiece or statement wall without the cost of intricate tiling. There are a raft of companies now bringing out waterproof wallpaper designed specifically for bathrooms – which of course have lots of moisture and humidity. Plus, never underestimate how a lick of paint can transform a scheme. When you’re looking at the bigger
picture, it can be easy to overlook the finishing touches such as brassware, drawer handles, flush plates, light pulls and mirrors than can really add

something special to a finished scheme. My advice is not to scrimp on the things that you can’t easily change. You need things like taps, showerheads and flush plates to stand up to wear and tear. Cheap brassware and chrome plating can tarnish and flake – quickly looking unsightly. Buy the best that you can afford, and pay attention to how a statement tap or cutting edge shower head could really add that final designer touch to the room. When you are faced with so many choices when it comes to bathroom design, it can be overwhelming and all too easy to opt for a safe neutral space – or go too far in the other direction and try and cram too many design features into one room. While there are a huge
amount of online retailers with web- based design tools and advice, never underestimate the importance of the personal touch. Visiting your local designer bathroom
showroom could put a whole different perspective on your finished scheme. Many will offer a free design service and can work with you to design a space that will suit your specific needs, as well as sourcing products and arranging delivery in line with your build timings. This higher level of service can really help to make the install of your bathroom as smooth as possible – something that money can’t buy.
