Functionality and efficiency a priority for bathroom renovations
Our bathrooms are very important, but often overlooked, spaces in our homes. While the Covid-19 pandemic led to many people exploring how to make their bathrooms feel like luxurious spa retreats, that isn’t the only bathroom design trend to pay attention to.
In fact, there is a renewed focus on functionality and efficiency in bathroom design, according to some experts who spoke to MSN. This doesn’t mean a space can’t be luxurious, simply that homeowners aren’t choosing luxury at the expense of all else.
So, what could that mean for your bathroom refurbishment in Bournemouth, Poole or Christchurch? You may decide you’d like a heated floor to make the space cosy and ensure it is warmed as efficiently as possible.
Another focus is storage – we all know it can be tricky to get the balance right in bathrooms, where storage is often at a premium, so it certainly pays to work with an experienced team of bathroom fitters who can help you spot the opportunities to add storage solutions into your bathroom design without infringing on the uncluttered and relaxing space you want to create.
Under basin storage, for example, can look incredibly stylish and blend in well with the rest of your bathroom if it’s designed well.
Another top tip, from Bathroom City, is to consider how to make use of the vertical space in your bathroom. Could you choose a tall-boy cabinet, for example, to allow you to use more of the height of the room for storage?
Mirror cabinets and wall-hung storage units are other options to consider if you feel as though your current bathroom setup doesn’t provide as much storage space as you’d like.
Lighting is another consideration, and one that can change the atmosphere of a room. Much like kitchens, you’ll want a mix of overhead lighting and focus lights near your mirrors. If you are looking for that spa-like experience, you may also want to explore installing mood lighting to ensure you get the sanctuary you’re looking for when you’re soaking in the tub.
