Different parts of a bathroom and how to choose them
When choosing the different parts of your bathroom, it's important to combine comfort, quality and style to make the space not only practical but also cosy.
Washbasin
When choosing a washbasin, it's important to choose a size and shape that fits the space of the room. Corner or narrow washbasins with cupboards at the bottom are usually good in small rooms. There are many styles to choose from, from classic to modern. It is always worth looking for comfortable, sturdy and easy to maintain.
Lockers and storage space
Lockers help keep the bathroom tidy. Hanging cabinets, drawers under the washbasin, open shelving can be added to the bathroom plan. It is important to take into account the size of the walls, the size of the space and that there is easy access to things.
Mirrors and lighting
A mirror is a great design accent, not only because it is functional, but also because it visually enlarges the space. It can be equipped with integrated LED lighting, which is convenient for things like make-up application. Lighting in the bathroom can be multi-level: general lighting, directional lights near the mirror, and, if you want to create a spa-like atmosphere, hidden LED lighting around the walls or floor.
Tiles and wall finishes
When choosing tiles, it is important to consider their resistance to moisture. Choose non-slip tiles for the floor and wall tiles for design accents. For a cosy bathroom, combine different tiles, such as neutral large format tiles with mosaic inserts in the shower area. Finishing materials should match the interior design throughout in the interior of the apartment.
Bath
The bathtub provides comfort and allows you to relax after a long day. It is important to consider the size and shape of the bathtub, which can be classic rectangular, corner or freestanding. You can choose the material - acrylic is lightweight, cast iron is durable and steel is strong and easy to maintain.
Installation of a shower cubicle and shower area
Shower enclosures are a practical solution for smaller bathrooms. You can choose between sliding, hinged or walk-in systems. The shower area should be sealed with a reliable water drain. It is important to choose quality walls, sealing materials and faucets to ensure that the overall bathroom installation lasts a long time.
Plumbing and pipe fitting
Plumbing installation is one of the most important stages and requires professionalism. Improperly installed pipes can lead to leaks and expensive repair costs. It is essential to plan in advance the location and height of sewers, water inlets and electrical installations.
Floor solutions
Floor tiles must be slip-resistant and moisture-proof. If you want to keep the bathroom warmer, you can install underfloor heating. In this case, it is important to choose tiles that transmit heat well and to ensure a quality installation.
Towel rails
Towel rails, such as „coils“, not only help to keep the room clean and tidy, but can also provide additional heat. They can be electric or connected to central heating.
Small accessories to create cosiness
Even elements such as soap dishes, shelves, hooks or rugs create cosiness. It's important to choose stylish yet practical solutions to fit in with the overall design of the bathroom.
How to set a budget?
Planning your bathroom fitting budget in advance will help you avoid unpleasant surprises. First, decide how long the installation will take and how much money you can spend. Take into account the cost of materials, the cost of the work and additional services such as maintenance. Include a reserve for unexpected costs - for example, if you need to replace old plumbing or wall structures.
It is important to bear in mind that the cheapest option is often short-term. Quality tiles, taps and sanitary ware last longer and require fewer repairs in the future.
