In a great bathroom everything fits snugly, has a home and you know its address! Designing your bathroom on CAD means you achieve everything with ease.
• Before You Use CAD - Plan Your Bathroom
Like all major projects a solid plan is key. Think about who uses the bathroom and how it is used. Just as importantly, plan your shopping list. It is no good plotting expensive furniture onto CAD if you don´t consider the cost for fixtures and fittings. Think about your budget and keep well within it. Storage is important in a bathroom.
There are all manner of small unmentionables to squirrel away, but also big bulky items like towels and packs of toilet rolls to house. Try out CAD designs that find storage solutions that are size appropriate. If you decide to implement drawers, ensure that things can be stashed away in single layers, with nothing hidden below.
Finally, store things where they are used first in the bathroom, ideally no more than 3 steps away from where you would stand.
• Use CAD To Let Your Creativity Flow
Take accurate measurements and know the sizes of the furniture you need to install. CAD can calculate the amount of space you have in your bathroom so inputting accurate measurements confirms whether your idea will work with the space you have and the furniture you want. Bathrooms are generally small so there is no room for error.
Be realistic about what you have to work with and think laterally. Remember it is not just floor space available to you. Make changes on CAD to see how mounted wall cupboards would look and how much more storage space you would gain using a vanity unit rather than the usual bathroom sink?
Image Credits: Use colors to create different ambiances; deep reds and purples to create a sexy and sultry bathroom, yellows and greens are bright and fresh with an outdoorsy feel. Avoid blues as this projects a cold environment in a bathroom. But the beauty of CAD is there is an overwhelming pallet of colors and you can really let your imagination run riot.
Despite the great ideas and profound visuals that CAD will give you, it is advisable to have some patience and not rush into building the first bathroom you design. You can save each of the prototypes you do and experiment with different colors and layouts before deciding which is best. It will most likely be the case that you take a little from each of your designs and rework them into the final plan.
