Planner 5D

This is an app used on a mobile device or on a home computer. It makes designing easy by allowing you to create 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional floor plans. Once you’ve created a floor plan, you choose items from their catalogue. The floor plans you create will be pretty basic, so a professional bathroom designer like me will be able to help bring more guidance to the idea.

Room Sketcher

Room Sketcher is an app that allows you to sketch a floor plan or home design project. If you do like to sketch your own work or have a blue print, there’s an option to upload your work and the program can draw it for you.

Smart Draw

This app makes things simple for you because there are already built-in templates and pre-loaded plans you can choose from. In addition, the program provides a wide variety of colours and materials you can select.

Bath CAD

Originally developed by a UK-based company that sells bathroom products, this program offers a shopping list once you’ve put your design plans together. The program itself uses more realistic drawings and provides plans with accurate measurements.

Home by Me

Home by Me is an app that lets you customize services to include basic designing services to a more robust one. The realistic images make it look like your home.

Here are some of our favourite contemporary bathroom design trends from this year.

Wall-Mounted Toilets

You wouldn’t think that a toilet has the potential to bring about much design envy, but wall-mounted toilets are the exact type of toilet to pull it off. Floating toilets like the one I put in our barn refurbishment in Dorset add a clean, modern, and practical style. There are fewer nooks and crannies with a wall-mounted toilet than a traditional one, so cleaning around it is a breeze.

Floor-to-Ceiling Shower Doors

If we’re working with a smaller space, it makes sense to not make it look smaller than it already is. Using glass shower doors that extend from the floor to the ceiling creates a seamless and custom look that makes any space feel larger-than-life.

Rounded Mirrors

Your vanity mirror is an important piece of your bathroom design and rounded mirrors are a hot trend right now. Either circular or rectangular with rounded edges, both draw the eye to them more than your average straight-edged mirrors.

Wood Accents

Wood accents pair wonderfully with contemporary design elements, and they are making a comeback this year. I designed an ensuite shower room in this London apartment with a wood accent behind the sink to give a warmer feel that compliments the contemporary and modern fixtures.

What Clients Say About the Interior Designer

This is the most important consideration factor when planning to design your dream bathroom. Before beginning the search for ‘bathroom designers near me,’ ensure that you check out testimonials or independent reviews as they give you a clear picture of the quality to expect. Furthermore, you can research and visit different sites to see the quality of their services first hand before learning how to work with your designer.

Finalize a Budget

To create your dream room, you need to prioritize the areas to spend on and save in advance, and it narrows down to deciding on a budget. But there is some good news. You do not have to part with thousands of dollars to finally get a spa feel. You need to invest in one beautiful piece and accompany it with an equally budget-conscious backdrop.

Bathroom Layout

Before beginning your search for dream accents and statement tiles, ensure that you have carefully considered the layout for your bathroom. With proper design, your room will not just look good, but it will also be functional. When working out the layout, begin with paying attention to your routine in the room and how the available space can cater for that most effectively.

Ace the Lighting

Lighting has a crucial role in the mood and functionality of your bathroom. Even with a smaller bathroom, quality lighting could significantly elevate the feel, making it seem brighter and larger. The design should make the best use of the available natural lighting before thinking about the lighting to install. You can use warmer light for a relaxing tone in the bath. But for the bathroom vanity, always go for harsher brightness. Furthermore, dimmers are a brilliant way of switching between ambiance lighting and task.

Be Smart With Space

Avoid overloading the bathroom with trending fixtures you may have seen out there. Instead, you need to work with the size of your bathroom. If you plan well, even the smallest spaces could be turned into functional and relaxing bathrooms. To get it right, regardless of the available space, ensure you utilize every corner and chose modern designs that are also space-saving.

Ventilation Is Equally Important

Most people tend to overlook ventilation when designing a bathroom, only to regret this later on. Particularly if your room has furniture, good ventilation helps prevent condensation, which could damage the wood. Also, you do not want a damp room, so your designer must ensure space is ventilated enough.

Get the Right Fabric

Just like real wood, fabric may not be ideal for the bathroom, but there are several materials that you should avoid completely. Fibres such as linen, silk, and cotton usually trap moisture, which ends up changing its appearance. Instead, you can go for better options such as PVC and polyester.

Factor in Storage

This is one of the key features of a successful bathroom, and just having a small glass shelf is not enough. Haphazardly placed toiletries never display well. Therefore, it will be a smart move if you have a substantial vanity that has space to keep extra towels and shower gels.

Plumbing Fittings

They may not spring to mind first when thinking of your dream bathroom, but you can make a statement with your tapware. The abundant options come with a range of distinctive elements that may range from minimal to elaborate, or modern to classic.

If you implement these tips, you can be sure to achieve the bathroom of your desires with ease. Contact us to learn more.
