That’s right free advice from an expert. This bathroom renovation advice will help you save so much money on your bathroom renovation and save you all the pain and pressure that can go into making this bathroom happen.

Below are my 10 free practical tips for your bathroom renovation to save you money and stress. 

• Review the orientation of your bathroom layout and where the focal point is upon entering the room. Invest your time in this section

• Pick your feature whether it is a pattern encaustic floor, herringbone feature wall or stunning handmade timber vanity it’s important to know your star and work around it

• If you have low water pressure ask for better fixtures to improve your use or remove a double shower in the space. 

• When supplying materials such as tiles always and I mean always order too many,  at least 20% and 25% for herringbone tiling. if you run short it will cost you a lot more in the long run if you have to retile the whole room due to a shortage and stock.

• Install a timer in electrical towel racks and floor heating. This will save energy and ensure you don’t freeze in the mornings and most of all save you money $$$$

• Ask what your goal for renovating is. This is important in working out how much you want to spend. One example of this is if you don’t have kids that use the bath or you never use the bath then don’t install a bath back. Renovate for your needs, not the needs of what someone may or may not want in the future even if you decide to sell.

• Questions Questions Questions. Make sure to ask non-stop questions about anything you don’t understand regardless of how silly it is. You would rather ask too many questions at the start than find out you have something you don’t want once it’s done.

• If you can afford it always add as much light as you can into the rooms whether a better window, skylight or downlight a dark room will always look like a dark room below is an example of a room with the same tiles but one has a downlight the other with a window under a patio

• Use colour in places you can change. Have colourful towels or a painted feature wall, as colours can be very unique to an individual and as people, we can always change our minds so try to minimise those options to items you can change with relative ease

• Lastly do not! keep any items that are preexisting unless they are brand new. You are spending decent money on this renovation the last thing you want is to only notice the old items, not the new ones. 

 

Try to renovate your bathroom in keeping with the overall design of your home.  I always emphasise a narrative throughout the home, for example, in the joinery or colour scheme. It is not about replicating exact design features, but more about creating a design language for consistency and flow. In other words, you just want it all to make sense throughout your home design.
