As we move into spring and towards warmer weather, it is the perfect time to start thinking about bathroom renovations. A freshly remodelled bathroom can bring any home to life, but it can be tricky to know where to start.
Here at Gas Tech Heating Ltd we have a wealth of knowledge in the industry, so let us run through a few of our top bathroom tips to get you started.
1. Consider your goals
When starting a home improvement project like a bathroom remodelling, it’s important to have a clear goal in mind so that you don’t waste any time, money or resources by heading in the wrong direction with your plans.
2. Set a clear budget
A lot of the time, if you want the job done properly you need to be prepared for the cost that comes with that. And cheaper isn’t always better when it comes to quality services and products. That’s why setting a clear budget can help to guide your purchases so you don’t end up spending drastically more than intended. You can also use your budget to make a decision on which service provider you want to undertake your bathroom fitting.
3. Spend time planning
Before searching for professionals and companies to help fit your new bathroom, spend some time gathering inspiration. Sites like Instagram and Pinterest as well as magazines and visiting bathroom showrooms will help you to plan what you want from your remodelling. It’s a lot easier to plan beforehand than integrate an item after the bathroom has been finished. This is a big investment so leave no stone unturned working out what you’d like.
4. Visit bathroom showrooms
Visiting bathroom showrooms and stores to see items first hand can help you to get a real idea of sizes, colours and accessories. It can also allow you to see trending bathrooms in real life so you can get an idea of how they would work in your own home.
5. Check out the trends
Bathroom trends are trends for a reason, and often signify modern and new styles that many people want in their homes. Check out bathroom inspiration posts on platforms like Instagram or Pinterest and build an idea of what trending items, colours, and looks you would want. Even things like checking out Pantone’s colour of the year may reflect a good colour idea for you to work from – this year it is PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, and you can then build out your desired colour palette.
6. Pick large tiles rather than small
A tip to help you avoid disruption, and time wasting, is to opt for larger tiles rather than tiny, intricate designs. Tiling takes time to get right, and to put it simply, the fewer the tiles, the quicker the job. So, if time is a priority for your bathroom renovation, consider picking larger tiles. There are still some amazing bathroom renovations that use larger tiling options, so we suggest taking a look at these for yourself in bathroom showrooms.
7. Trust the professionals
