Luxury Bathrooms That Cost Peanuts - Learn The Secrets

Just because your bathroom looks like it costs a fortune doesnt mean you actually spent a fortune. Read on and find out how you can achieve a luxury bathrooms effect without breaking the bank.

The Secret of Luxury Bathrooms is in the Design - Not the Wallet

One of the bathroom companies I do some work with have installed thousands of bathrooms over the years and the one thing that always surprises me is how consistantly good they look. At one point I was talking to one of the directors about how luxurious his bathrooms were and I was suprised when he confided in me and said Its all down to the designers - the majority of the fittings they install are pretty much standard, its the way that its put together that makes everything look luxurious.

Designers play such an important role when it comes to creating new designs but how many of us call in designers to design out bathroom? Lets face it the most we do is visit a few showrooms, look at a few catalogues and then we know exactly what we want in that we just copy what we see and pay the asking price.

How Much Do Luxury Bathrooms Cost?

To some 30,000 would seem an appropriate amount to spend on a lucury bathroom. Clearly we are talking about luxury bathrooms in prime properties situated in prime locations. For most of us however, we have to make do with a more realistic budget to achieve our luxury bathroom.

Lesson 1: Dont waste money on the white stuff. By that I mean dont pay more than is necessary for a white suite. You can pick up a basic white bathroom suite for around 500 that will do the trick.

Lesson 2: Dont waste money on brand names for showers or taps. I guarantee you that most of the component parts are the same.

Lesson 3: Choose large rectangleur tiles and tile all the wall up to the ceiling. Dont waste money on marble or limestone unless you home is worth at least 1,000,000.

Lesson 4: Dont bother with underfloor heating. Why? Because you cant see it and it is almost all gimmick with little or no practical gain.

Lesson 5: Do install recesed low voltage lights - the smaller the better preferably plain white or chrome.

Lesson 6: Do tile the floor with a compatible floor tile and keep it large.

Lesson 7: Spend as much as you want on the fittings such as lighting pull cord, blinds, towel rail, cabinets etc... Why? Because you can take them with you if you want.

Conclusion

By this time, if the work has been done correctly you should now be looking at a luxury bathroom at the most minium cost. Clearly, you may have spent 2,000 or 10,000 but if you have followed my advice you will have the spent the money in the right areas to achieve your lucury bathroom.
