At Exotic Bathrooms, we recommend you start your bathroom remodel planning with the selection of your Vanity unit. This will become the centrepiece of design and focus in your new contemporary bathroom, and will reflect distinct design and color qualities. Bath tubs, Showers, floor tiles, paint and accessories should all be co-ordinated to work with the new vanity. Other bath items such as tubs, toilets etc, have limited color elements, and more limited design options. The vanity is the logical place to start your design planning, and will often provide the inspiration, design features and colors you will need to complete and compliment the rest of the project.

10 steps to a smooth Bathroom Remodel

1. Determine the most suitable products, based on your style, and the function(s) required in your new bathroom

2. Take detailed measurements of your existing bathroom floorplan.

3. Make a scale drawing of the bathroom floorplan using graph paper.

4. Plot positions of your desired products making best use of available space. Experiment with different combinations until you are happy.

5. Plan your plumbing, including new water supply and waste requirements if the desired location has changed in the room.

6. Plan for any additional storage requirements, adequate & effective lighting and ventilation.

7. Work out a budget – include costs for products, installation and extras like flooring and tiles. Pre-order products to ensure no disruption to your schedule.

8. Appoint a contractor to perform the installation, but don’t remove your old fixtures until the new ones have been delivered and prepared.

9. Paint and co-ordinate your bathroom. See our helpful information on color selection to match your personality.

10. You are now ready for the finishing touches. Select mirrors and other accessories which compliment your new bathroom decor.

Add some life and interest to your bathroom with the addition of decorative tiles, border & strip tiles to compliment the look and theme of your bathroom. You can tie the theme into the rest of the home by using the same tiles in the kitchen, or as accent pieces in entry floors, or as borders around the house.
