in the layout first look
If you are rehabilitated, an existing bathroom view of the current layout. If it works, then you can keep him; it changes it makes no sense if you do not, because it will only be a waste of money.
Often there is not one right answer, but the bathrooms usually have a "best" layout option because of the plumbing arrangement. The layout in this bathroom works really well. The positioning of the toilet on an outer wall allows the cistern below the window niche to be hidden and avoids the use of boxes for pipelines. This keeps the elegant appearance of the room.
Everything is possible, but certainly some options will cost more than others. If you look at the technical side at the same time as the design, it could help you make your decision.

Think about it, where to go smaller items
In addition to the major elements (loo, washbasin, shower), you should also think about where the smaller items and accessories goes.

to measure space - true
measure your room as accurately as you can, and if you plan your layout, do not forget to allow for tiles, panels, towel racks, etc., which make the whole room less. It does not seem like much, but 10 mm can be the difference between a pool to be perfect with an edge to be in line to still sticking with something, forever nagging you.
small or narrow bathrooms are the most precarious. In this slim space suitable sized pieces have been selected, so the room will not feel cramped. Imagine you are above certain that you can easily be in the pool and enough width for the toilet area, so you do not squished against the Bad.
If you have cabinets, then make sure there are rooms to open it, and check not hit the door in anything. A tip for small bathrooms is the door to reassign to open outwards, you can give a little more space inside.

When it comes to the equipment, it is important to think about the practical side and design , to consider Chat suppliers about the limitations and considerations before making your decision. You may need to do one or the other compromise, but at least you will know what to expect.

The recess in the stone of the basin must be at least 100 mm from the edge on all sides, so if you specifically a slimline tanks, the overall size might be still, have chosen quite deep.
Maintenance is also something to keep in mind. If you live in a house with children, which is likely to leave pools of stagnant water, a crude wooden worktop are probably best avoided unless you want to live with a microfiber cloth firmly in hand!

Consider a false wall adding
If you are tight on space, then combine to create a false wall with some smooth, built-in memory - it is a great way to hide your clutter and a cistern and pipes hide.

create a rock solid spec
a detailed description of each small element is critical to good project management. Avoid unwanted surprises by presenting all the information to your installer or contractor in the bidding phase of the project. Contractors you appreciate to give them as much information as possible when they are asked to quote, as it allows them to be more accurate, and gives them a better idea of the work involved, which minimizes the chance you hit with a to be unexpected additional costs.
A written description can be found to prevent something from being forgotten. The high-level window, the niche shelves built shower Bank, on the wall hung vanity ... they must all be taken into account from the beginning of the project. Forgetting even to mention small details, you can cost more and delay the schedule.

you understand the schedule
as part of your project management, it is important that you understand the order in which things need to be done. This is especially true if you have a schedule to coordinate the separate trades (plumbers, electricians, carpenters, decorators) includes how, at what point in the project any trades must know required.
Consider not only what will happen, but how it will happen. If you are not sure, then ask a professional before the start of the project, so you can plan accordingly. It is also a good idea to ensure that you are in person to discuss the specification every time a new element starts, only one shall be checked on the same page.
niche lighting suitable as, for example, takes the electrician the cables in place before the pit was built to run. The builder / carpenter and tiler would need to know where the lights would and how big the fixtures were to cut the holes. Once the tile was completed, the wires were pulled through and the fittings attached. As a project manager, it is your responsibility to communicate details as to all parties. You can not assume they will ask or pass each other on information.
At the beginning of a project, it can feel as if there is too much information to get through to your contractor, but even if it all written in the spec, you should explain it personally, too. It can bombard feel as if they are, and it can be tempting to skim over the details, but do not feel shy! You may not know how they work, so it covers is essential and helpful.

Celebration precision
here is another example of a custom-made product - glass again, in fact. If you look closely, the screen in this chic shower room is perfectly notched at the ceiling. There is a subtle but clever design feature, and it is precisely these little touches like that, if implemented correctly, can fit your design to the next level.
to fit not only glass as these need to be ordered far enough in advance to be ready, you would also need your measurements were super precise sure: only a few millimeters and the effect would be lost.

Provide clear instructions
project management is all about the details. Everything has to be spot-on your finished project to ensure, as perfectly polished, as you had hoped it would be. To achieve this, you must be very clear, comprehensive instructions for each element of the project.
Try all possible mistakes, misunderstandings and pitfall, then given all the details to imagine to avoid them. It could you seem obvious, but it is perhaps not so clear to be someone else, and if you have written it down in black and white, you will not have a leg if / when it's done wrong.
Take the bathroom, for example. There are white subway tile with white grout in a horizontal offset layout on the main walls and Aqua subway tiles with yellow mortar in a vertical arrangement on the center wall. Without a clear set of instructions, a tiler both areas could easily use the incorrect tiles for any wall, or tile horizontally. Details must be given for where to start / stop tiles and how to finish edges - not the color of the grout and sealant, and to mention the size of the joints. must be all these things recorded in writing and I always find a graph tremendously helps.
