Visit underfloor heating solutions if you are interested in electric under floor heating. Whether you want floor heating for your home or under floor heating in your workplace they have a solution.
The bathroom is the most popular room to renovate this spring- however it’s vital to consider every aspect when you are in the planning stages if you want to achieve your dream bathroom. From the wallpaper to the floor heating here is our guide to renovating your bathroom.
A poll has revealed that the average Brit is planning on spending approximately 15 hours carrying out DIY over the upcoming Easter weekend. The most popular room to re-decorate and re-furbish is the bathroom, which to do properly takes careful planning and preparation.
If you are planning on re-decorating and renovating your bathroom, experts advise against leaving it all to the last minute and start planning now. Here are our top tips for renovating your bathroom.
Heating and ventilation
Both of these are important for a comfortable and healthy bathroom environment. Do you want to install radiators, or would you prefer uncluttered, undisrupted walls? If you are a fan of the minimal look electric under floor heating may be the ideal heating solution for your home.
Under floor heating might be more expensive to install, but it can significantly reduce your heating bills over the years, and it will instantly add value to your property. Another aspect that is important to consider is do you have adequate enough windows to ventilate your bathroom, or do you need to install an extractor fan?
Think about your space
If your bathroom is the smallest room in the house you could consider extending the room by moving the walls out further into an adjoining bedroom or hallway if there is space. Likewise, does your airing cupboard take up much needed space in your bathroom? If so, is there any other unused or unoccupied space in your home it can be moved to? If that’s not an option for you could you make the airing cupboard smaller?
Visual inspiration
Before thinking about the decor of your new bathroom it’s a good idea to visit some home shows. This really helps to give you a feel for the ideas you would like to recreate in your own home. Alternatively, you could invest in some interior design or home decor magazines. Tear out any particular designs/colour schemes that you like the look of and collate them to make a collage for your reference. Or surf the internet for some ideas and print these out to keep and refer to whilst you’re walking round the bathroom shops and DIY stores.
Take your measurements
Before entering any bathroom store it’s vital that you take the measurements of your bathroom. This will help the bathroom salesman to make appropriate suggestions, and to make sure your new suite looks in proportion to the space that it is in.
Plumbing
If you are renovating an already existing bathroom it’s usually easier to use the existing plumbing. If you are installing a new bathroom you will have to decide on the spot where you want the water to be piped in, as well as the best place for the drains.
The decor
What colour scheme do you want to create? Yellows and peaches are bright and vibrant and can help to wake you up in the mornings, while calming blues and classic creams create a calm and relaxing environment, which can help you to unwind after a long day. Not only do you need to think about the colour scheme, it’s also vital to consider the materials you are going to choose. Do you want tiled floors and walls, or would you prefer vinyl or rubber flooring and wallpaper?
After taking all of the above into consideration it can really help to turn your dream bathroom into a reality.
