If your bathroom design needs to meet your busy business lifestyle then a brighter blue and white theme with a power shower, will save time and refresh.

Here are a few tips on how to design a bathroom.  Once you have decided upon a bathroom design to meet your lifestyle requirements, you need to decide on the bathroom furniture and fittings. This will depend on the size of your bathroom, even if you want a big luxury bath you may only have room for a shower. If space is an issue then also have a look at the small bathroom design section. Then you need to arrange where the sink, toilet, bath, shower and cupboards will go, so draw up a basic floor plan. You may want to use a basic bit of bathroom design software to make things easier.

These can be particularly useful when trying to visualize and price up your DIY bathroom design. Once you have chosen your fittings and fixtures and where they will go then you can decide upon a colour scheme. There are many different materials to choose from including paint, carpet, lino and tiles that will add colour and texture to compliment your DIY bathroom design.
