Planning is essential to achieve the bathroom of your dreams

Proper bathroom planning is essential to avoid mistakes that can be both costly and frustrating. Susan of popular Instagram account @Sue_Dan_ House, experienced this first hand when her original bathroom wasn’t working for her family and became a real frustration for them.

Susan says “Like many self-builders, we were eager to get into the house and while time was spent planning the kitchen and other spaces, we didn’t think too much about the bathroom. Shortly after moving in, I realised it wasn’t working for our family with limited storage, a bath too deep to bathe the children in, a too small walk-in shower that made the whole room wet as it wasn’t designed properly and a toilet blocking the best views! I hadn’t thought about how we would use it and having now finally achieved our dream bathroom realise how crucial it is to design the space around your family's needs and preferences.”
