KEEP THINGS FUNCTIONAL

- Banish mould and mildew with a
shower cap, and by putting an
extractor fan near your shower.

- Make accidents and overflows a
breeze with a general floor waste.
- Make sure your shower mixer is easily
accessible from the shower door.

- Check that your basins and vanities
come with a waste and trap.
- Think about lighting and heating
—they can make all the difference
to how your bathroom performs.

DESIGN TIPS

- Add windows and skylights, and
angle mirrors to capture natural light.

- Softer lighting will bounce off shiny
surfaces to give your bathroom
a more luxurious feel.
- Get that magazine-designer
look by choosing tapware and
fixtures that complement your
home’s overall style; match styles,
shapes and finishes between
bathrooms, laundry and kitchen.
- If you’re choosing products from
different brands, check the colour
matches—shades can vary.

- Hide the toilet so it’s not in direct
line of sight from the doorway
—first impressions count!
