If you are the head of a big family, you won’t need reminding how tough it can be to gain access to your own bathroom; teenagers seem to spend half their lives in the bathroom! The time has come for a bathroom renovation and with that in mind, here are a few features that you might want to add.
Smart Storage
While storage always matters, a multi-person bathroom demands smart storage; make contact with a local carpenter, who can make best use of the recesses by building timber cupboards and shelving. Lots of wall storage doesn’t take up much-needed floorspace and with customised solutions, you have more than enough storage space.
Towel Storage
You could have a few towel racks placed around the room and it is always a good idea to add a few towel loops or hooks. Put two or three on the back of the bathroom door; every family member can choose their towel storage, which eliminates confusion. You might want to add a couple of hooks for his and her bathrobes, which is a nice touch. For the ultimate in luxury, choose heated towel racks, which simply wire into the light switch.
Hot Water On Demand
Every family member wants their hot shower in the morning and that means running out of hot water. Choosing an electric hot water on demand shower means you can all enjoy a shower, plus it saves energy, as you are not heating up a tank of water. As the water passes through the shower unit, a heating element gets to work and heats the water as it flows through a network of pipes. For the best hot water on demand digital showers, the Bracknell bath showroom or your local bath showroom stocks the top brands. Energy prices continue to rise and switching to hot water on demand greatly reduces your carbon footprint.
Go For A Double Basin Vanity
Coupled with a large surround, a double basin vanity gives everyone the space they need for all their bathroom products. You can brush your teeth while your partner does her stuff and everyone is happy. Choose a vanity with a lot of storage space under the basins, and you have somewhere to keep the cleaning implements and products. The best vanity selections can be found at your local bathroom store, plus you can see double basin vanities in a real bathroom setting.
Stand-Alone Bathtub
If you have the space, why not choose an elegant long oval acrylic bath? This makes for the perfect focal point; place some decorative pebbles around the base to create a stunning statement piece that everyone will love. A tub with a closed case gives you additional storage space, plus you can choose a contrasting colour.
Free Bathroom Design Service
If you visit your local bathroom showroom, you can make best use of their in-house design team who will make sure that you use the space efficiently. Not only do you have free design service, all the products/materials that you need can be found in a single store. Drawing a diagram of the room with accurate measurements really does help the designer, who has hands-on experience in designing family bathrooms.
For the sake of democracy, ask the family to take a look at the plan and if everyone agrees, you know that the finished design meets with everyone’s approval. If you are going to do the work yourself, you will save a fortune in labour costs.
