Make choices that will still look good in 5 years or 20
years’ time. You can avoid bathroom renovations with good design choices and quality products, saving a
lot of expense in the future.
Our new properties in Chesterhill Wood all have bathroom
suites from Porcelanosa, chosen for their top-quality manufacturing standards
and great design.
1: Storage
An obvious need that is often overlooked. Toilet paper, toiletries and medicines all
need a home
that’s convenient for the family. Medicine cabinets are great for
smaller bathrooms, but a small cupboard under the sink or a linen cupboard is a
practical solution that will tidy all the clutter away.
2: Durable finishes
In high moisture areas, furniture made from hard woods will
be more hard wearing than laminates (which can peel and warp). Porcelain tiles
are a popular and practical choice, but remembers, the smaller the tile is the
more grout you have and the more grout you'll have to clean. Find the perfect
balance.
3: Lighting
There is such a huge choice of lighting products these days,
it can be baffling. Do you want mood lighting that can be dimmed? Don’t forget
to light your face from the front and put a light in your shower, it will help
wake you up in the mornings! The
recessed spot lights in our newest development complement the clean lines of
the bathroom and provide good lighting cover in all areas.
4. Privacy
We design the family bathroom with a different set of criteria
than our en-suites. It all revolves
around the amount of privacy you'd like in your bathroom. Glass shower doors
are great in private spaces and open up the space.
5. Flooring
The flooring shouldn't clash with the hallway or bedroom
beside it. Tile and stone are the
easiest to maintain. We love the idea of
a tile “rug” to add a bit of interest in a bathroom.
Our new development uses ceramic floor tiles for their
durability, stain resistance and ease of care.
6: Get in a professional
Layout of bathrooms takes a bit of thought and
experience. Where should the toilet go,
how much room do you need for two sinks and do you have room for separate or
combined bath and shower? Our team of
architects save us the headache of working this out. Trust in a professional!
