Design A Master Bathroom

Designing a master bathroom is as easy as making a few lists.


A master bathroom is your own private place that is as individualistic as you want it to be and should be designed according to your style and taste, irrespective of what is trendy or fashionable. Depending on the layout of your home, the bathroom is either accessed directly from the master bedroom or through an adjacent corridor. This will influence the design of your overall layout in relation to privacy.


Instructions


1. If you do not have an existing master bathroom, or a room that can be converted into one, decide on where and how large you want the room to be. Speak to a design professional to ensure that you have not overlooked any key issues such as access, ventilation and permits required.


2. Conduct research to determine any styles that you particularly prefer. Look in design magazines, bathroom showrooms and friends' houses to view features and colors that appeal to you. Also note details that are not to your taste to make sure that you avoid them when designing your own bathroom.


3. Decide on a concept and theme for your master bathroom. This theme can relate to the adjoining bedroom or be completely independent of it.


4. Determine the styles and colors of any bathroom accents, including storage space, towel rails, heating and lighting, as they make a difference to the overall functioning of the space. Select a type of shower and bath to be used in the room, and make a decision as to whether you prefer one or two sinks in the room.


5. Make a list of the essential functions that you and your partner want from the bathroom. Also make a wish list of things that you want but do not need. Once you have set your budget, you will get a clear idea of what you can afford and you can then negotiate between the two lists.
