When designing or renovating your bathroom, SPS Studio and LIQUIDRed share their Top 10 tips for any aspiring designer to consider before tackling the design challenge:
- Don’t overthink wall tiles. They are essential in the wettest areas (think shower and bath surround) but can be left off for a simple feature wall in the bathroom.
- Even if people are giving you funny looks – if you absolutely love it – use it!
- Trends are more of a guideline. Take the suggestion and make the look your own.
- Flowers or plants add life to any look in the bathroom
- If you are tight for space – white tiles can make a big difference and change how big the room feels.
- A good tip for white tiles: mix the tile grout with bonding liquid as it won’t stain (remember to clean the grout spaces first)
- If you’re planning to renovate an entire house over a longer period – start with a particular theme and mood-board/collage. You can keep this for the whole renovation and it will help you keep on track when you tackle each room. It’s easy to come to a different space and get carried away with different ideas that make the house a bit disjointed. This is a good way to keep a cohesive feel – even with each rooms’ differences (saving money on later changes).
- Always select your coloured bathroom accessories and floor tiles together to avoid clashes
- Design can make anything beautiful and stand out regardless of where it is
- Don’t be afraid to cut tiles into smaller pieces and patterns and mix with a different colour grout (yes grouts come in different colours – even glitter!) Experiments make magic happen.
