A new bathroom is an investment you will enjoy for many years. Therefore, make sure you know everything beforehand. This way, you will be well prepared and make an informed choice when buying. Not sure where to start? We tell you what to look out for when buying a new bathroom.

Your own wishes and needs

In order to design a bathroom that meets your needs and wishes in the best possible way, you need to map them out. Therefore, think in detail about the furnishing elements that are important to you. Would you like to have a bath and shower, or is either one sufficient? And how many people use the bathroom? Depending on the number of family members, determine the size of the washbasin. A double washbasin, for example, is the perfect solution for two to use at the same time.

Future-oriented design

When designing your bathroom, consider not only your current situation, but also the future. When choosing your bathroom, ask yourself whether you will still like what you choose in a few years' time. In addition, make sure the room can also be used functionally in the future.

Tip: neutral colours such as beige, brown, light grey or anthracite are always a good idea. You will never get tired of these timeless colours.

Sufficient room to move

It is very important to have enough space to move around in a bathroom. Therefore, plan your new bathroom properly. Measure the room accurately and then draw out the bathroom elements on paper. Keep the following dimensions in mind:

Basin: 55 cm at the front and 15 cm on each side
Toilet: 50 cm at the front and 20 cm on both sides
Shower: 70 cm at the front
Bath: 70 cm at the front

With these dimensions, you are guaranteed sufficient freedom of movement in the bathroom.

Storage space

There is nothing more annoying than not having enough storage space. So think carefully about how much space you need for your things. Do you mind them being in plain sight? Then choose an extra side or mirror cabinet in addition to a bathroom unit. A mirror cabinet does not take up much space and makes the bathroom look bigger because of its reflection. Moreover, you can store a lot of care products here. This way, you create an orderly and tidy atmosphere.

Low-maintenance bathroom

Choose materials that are easy to maintain. A good example is theshower screenwith Nano-Tech coating. This is a glass surface protector that protects against limescale and soap scum. With an Easy clean toilet, you make maintenance even easier. This one has no rim, making the build-up of limescale and dirt a thing of the past. In addition, the Quick Release technology allows you to release the toilet seat with a simple click. This makes cleaning a breeze.

Lighting

Lighting is hugely important and helps determine the atmosphere of your bathroom. Strike a good balance between cosiness and functionality. While shaving or making up, it is useful to be able to see yourself well. It is also nice to have dimmed light during a relaxing bath. With the right lighting, you can create the right atmosphere for every moment. Make sure it is suitable for placing in a humid room.

Heating

A radiator is ideal for delightfully heating your bathroom. It not only provides a pleasant temperature, but is also practical for drying your towels. With our handy radiator output calculator, you can easily calculate how much output your radiator needs.

Ventilation

Good ventilation is also essential: supply of fresh air and removal of polluted air and moisture. This is because when you take a bath or shower, a lot of moisture is released. Inadequate ventilation may cause an unpleasant musty smell, mould or other moisture problems. This is why it is important to have a bathroom fan installed. You can connect this to the existing drain. Would you also like to open a window? Then 20 to 30 minutes is enough to get rid of the moisture.
