Toilets

You will definitely need a toilet in your bathroom, unless you have a separate room with one in. Nevertheless it is always useful to be able to have more than one toilet in the house in case one is in use. This is obviously more of an advantage if you happen to have a large household with lots of family members competing to use the bathroom at the same time.

The following items generally make up a complete bathroom suite. It is up to you to decide which you need and which you can go without.

Baths

Depending on what you have in the rest of your home, you may not need a bath in the bathroom you are renovating. Many houses can survive with just a single bath so smaller bathrooms or en suites needn’t have them. If you really enjoy having a bath every now and again then you shouldn’t sacrifice a bath unit completely. You can get rectangular baths, corner baths and freestanding baths depending on the layout of the room and your own personal tastes.

Basins

It is unlikely that you will be able to go without a basin in your bathroom. These give you a place to wash and carry out the most basic parts of your daily routine in the room. Placing your basin in a washstand is a really good way of incorporating storage-related bathroom furniture into your bathroom suite.

Using light and mirrors

Light is essential when you want to create an illusion of space in a small room. Whatever you do, don’t block any of the exterior light from entering your bathroom. Frosted or obscured glass makes sure that the maximum amount of glass can enter your bathroom at the same time as maintaining your privacy. Try to avoid using blinds.

Mirrors are fantastic because they reflect light to make your bathroom feel brighter. Furthermore, they reflect the open spaces in your room to make the bathroom feel more spacious too.

• Electric showers
• Power showers
• Steam showers
• Regular showers

When you make your decision regarding which shower to install, you will clearly have to look at the specific needs of those in the house. If you have a large family, for instance, then you may want to save the hot water in your system because it is liable to run out otherwise. If this is the case then you will need an electric shower rather than a regular shower.

On the other hand, you may find that your system is low on pressure and won’t deliver a great shower with a regular shower head. Power showers are the ideal solution to this problem. Of course, regular showers are fine for households that don’t have to deal with these sorts of issues.

You will also be responsible for laying out very practical rooms. This is a really important step as it may turn out to the difference between securing tenants and failing to do so. It may also make all the difference when it comes to actually receiving the level of rent you are hoping for in order that the property continues to pay for itself.

Equally, make sure there is plenty of storage in the kitchen and that it is kitted out with all the kitchen appliances that are necessary for a practical kitchen.
