Bathroom renovations are often big investments, so it's important to ensure that you have considered every option and you are maximising the space as much as possible. However, sometimes it's the little easy-to-miss details that can take your space to the next level. In this blog post, we will be exploring 5 seemingly small details that we always add to our bathroom designs, which make a big difference.
1 | Mitred edges
A mitred edge is where two tiles meeting at a 90 degree angle, will be cut at 45 degrees, to fit perfectly together. Doing mitred tiles at the niche and/or bath hob edge, instead of a tile trim, will create an elevated and seamless look. However, it is important to consider how this will look if you select an overly textured tile.
2 | Towel rail locations
The location of your towel rails often become an afterthought after you have placed everything else you want in the space. This sometimes leads to the towels being on the complete opposite side of the bathroom to your shower and can be annoying to use. We recommend thinking about the towel rails at the start as you are planning the whole layout.
3 | LED strips
Something we like to do in many bathrooms is add an LED strip to the bottom of the shaving cabinet. This will throw light up where you'd normally have shadows, and can be particularly helpful for shaving. We also sometimes like to add an LED strip to the bottom of the vanity, as it makes a great night light. Both of these options also add lovely mood lighting for having a relaxing bath, and making your bathroom feel more sophisticated!
4 | Add a power point inside your shaving cabinet
If you have electric tooth brushes or shavers, we always recommend adding a power point inside the shaving cabinet so you can charge these without cluttering up your vanity benchtop with cables. This also creates more bench space, which is particularly helpful if you have a small vanity.
5 | Finish half height tiles with a trim
If you are tiling only to half height on some walls (for example to 1200mm), then you will be able to see the top of the tile where it meets the wall. To make this transition look a lot more seamless and finished, we like to finish off the tile with a trim at the top. Because the wall above is generally painted white, we often go with a matt white trim. However, you may prefer to go with a trim that matches the tile or your tapware instead.
