Identify your needs

Start by thinking about who will be using the room, as this will have a big bearing the difference between an adequate design and one that ticks all the boxes. on the scheme you finally choose. Is it to be an en-suite shower room for two or a family bathroom that will require a bath and plenty of storage for toys?

Plan your layout

A scale plan of your space is a good place to start. Measure carefully as accurate dimensions are key and include features that are likely to affect the design, including windows, chimney breasts and doors. Cut out to-scale shapes of everything – loo, basin, bath and shower enclosure, for instance – and rearrange them until you find a layout that works best. Incorporate plenty of space between the elements and consider how the room will work with more than one person in there at the same time.

Use a freestanding bath to create a focal point for a luxe-style space.

MAKE YOUR FREESTANDING BATH THE STAR of the show by placing it in the centre of the room, or sit it by a focal point, such as a window. If you still want the look but space is at a premium, then a smaller slipper bath or a back-to-wall bath might be the answer.
