Introduction
It should always be an exciting event when buying a bathroom, with lots of beautiful objects to look at. So why does this joy turn into a sense of frustration or boredom so quickly for many? The simple answer is conflicting and often bad advise and bathroom design.

Completing a bathroom project is expensive whatever your budget, so it is important to get the design right the first time. How you design your bathroom has a great bearing on the way that you start or finish the day. The bathroom is both a place to relax, and also to quickly wash- and-go. If this new attitude is not addressed then the bathroom experience will be boring and dull. If the bathroom purchase is looked on as a chore and dismissed quickly then it is easy to repeat this basic mistake. I have met too many people over the years who have purchased bathrooms too quickly when moving into a house, and repented unhappily for years to come.
Often my clients have wandered through a range of bathroom showrooms with similar styles of bathroom displays and equipment. They have recieved varying degrees of interest or contempt from staff, and endless opinions about what is right for them, from people who have no experience, or design background. It is not surprising when they meet me in a showroom for the first time, that they are on their guard to fend off more well intentioned advise, and hope to wander in peace in the hope of spotting what they are looking for.
Can you get the information you need, to complete a bathroom, without experienced help? I would say proceed with caution If you have not purchased a bathroom in th past. My main objective When first meeting customers is to sift through the bad advise they have recieved and get to the essence of what they are looking for. specialist bathroom showrooms have much more to offer than what their quite often small showrooms can display, so asking for help is always better than not If you are Looking for traditional designs and arrive at a minimalist shrine to wetroom design, then it is still worth having a good look! I have designed many modern bathrooms where the customer started of with traditional design in mind.
Always start with an open mind and do not be easily lead to quick decisions. Often the first choice made is a popular option and well trodden! Fashion quite often gets in the way of finding something individual and memorable. Fashion in the bathroom industry is good to clear away some of the obvious but not always helpful when making an informed long term choice especilly where tiles are concerned, so beware! Fashion styles can mature but you will have to look a little deeper to determin which one.
So can you enjoy the process of designing and buying your bathroom without falling into bear traps, and smile whilst stepping over obsticals, happily anticipating the next.
