Your first step should be to take an accurate measurement of your bathroom.

1. Check the height from the floor to window sill to make sure that base units will fit underneath the window. Check the dimensions and positions of windows, doors and any other obstructions, e.g. radiators, towel rails, soil and vent pipes and light switches, as these will determine the layout of your bathroom.
2. Transfer your room dimensions on to graph paper so that you can produce a scale drawing (use 1:10 or 1:20 scale). Mark the position of any waste pipes, soil pipes and incoming water supplies. The location of plumbing affects everything else, so this must be highlighted at the start. Remember though that the beauty of fully fitted bathroom furniture is that your bathroom can be designed to completely conceal unsightly pipework.
3. The next step is to list all the items you would like to have in your bathroom: shower, bath, hand basin, wc, bidet, furniture pieces and storage units, mirror, towel rail, etc. Obtain measurements of all these items and then add them to your plan. Full dimensions for all Venetian Bathroom furniture can be found in the Venetian Price Guide. Venetian offers a range of mirrors for you to choose from. You may also like to consider adding a mirrored cabinet for added storage space.
4. Once you have positioned your furniture on the plan you will be able to take final measurements of the runs of furniture and work out how much countertop you will need. Venetian offers a range of different countertop lengths in three depths including one that is suitable for our reduced depth furniture. Finally you can think about accessories. One of the most important things to consider is lighting. Task lighting above or over a mirror is a ‘must have’ and should adhere to stringent safety regulations. Venetian offers a number of bathroom lighting options which are all IP regulated. You could choose an overarm light or have Halogen downlights set into a flyover shelf as shown below.
