To escape stress, it is essential to take time to take care of yourself.

This is why the bathroom is gradually gaining in comfort and style.

It is also one of the most renovated rooms in France: a third of individuals carry out work there, amounting to an average of 3,500 euros.

A budget that can be explained in particular by the inevitable technical constraints, in particular with regard to plumbing, and by the development of connected technologies.

To avoid planning mistakes and to feel comfortable, here are five steps you should not overlook when designing your new bathroom.

Seek inspiration

Choosing the decoration of your bathroom is not limited to opting for the flooring and the tiles in the shower.

If you are planning on refurbishing this part, there is no point in rushing.

Start by learning about current trends, the types of materials and colors that appeal to you.

If you are lacking inspiration, do not hesitate to leaf through decoration magazines and catalogs of DIY stores or to visit bathroom showrooms, not to mention social networks, especially Instagram and Pinterest, which are teeming with ideas.

The styles of decoration have diversified considerably over the past decade and you can breathe an atmosphere in harmony with the rest of your interior: Scandinavian, contemporary, industrial or ethnic.

Identify your needs

Depending on the number of people living in your household, but also your age and your lifestyle, you can adapt your project.

Thus, a walk-in shower, very easy to access, is ideal for people with reduced mobility such as seniors, while a family with young children will benefit from a bathtub.

Having a clear idea of ​​your needs will therefore help you define which furnishing solutions are right for you.

Arrange the space

Do you dream of a magnificent pond but only have a few square meters?

The layout and the surface of the place are crucial elements to take into account when drawing up the plans.

Whatever arrangements you wish to make, they must match the specific constraints of the room: sloping roof, location of openings and water inlets, architecture, etc. To help you plan yourself, do not hesitate. to use a 3D simulator.

Many of these easy-to-use tools are available online for free.

Choose the coverings

Now that the project is taking shape in your head, you can get down to the practical side by selecting the decorative elements.

Cement tiles, marble, wooden floors, waxed concrete, waterproof wallpaper, terrazzo, slate or carpet, you can choose between an infinite number of materials.

For your daily comfort, we recommend an easy-to-maintain coating, resistant to limestone and humidity, and not very slippery to avoid the risk of falling.

Call on professionals

Before starting work, do not hesitate to seek the advice of an expert, especially if you have certain doubts or questions.

Finally, to make your project a reality, it is better to hire a qualified craftsman rather than launching yourself in the laying of the tiles or the faucets if you have no experience in this field.

Indeed, unlike relatively simple tasks such as painting in bedrooms, the realization of a bathroom is quite delicate and the slightest defect could cause heavy damage very expensive.
