Measuring and experimenting with different layouts and planning meticulously definitely pays off when it comes to bathroom design. The requirements of a small en suite or cloakroom will be very different from those for a big family bathroom so keep in mind the number of people using the room and when. Sketching a scale plan will help to plot a rough layout: remember to include immovable features such as doorways, windows or chimneybreasts. In any bathroom project, it’s important to think about the focus of a room and where to place everything to make the best use of the space. Plan your heating and lighting early , too, as these will need to be installed before the flooring and sanitaryware. Other things to consider are water pressure, your hot water system and where the soil stack is situated, which will affect your plumbing choices and where to place fixtures and fittings. If installing a wet room, where the shower water drains away through a tiled floor, flooring will also need...

Danny Lipford: This week is the second and final show on the renovation of Today’s Bath. Announcer: Today’s Homeowner with Danny Lipford , the voice of home improvement , with projects, tips and ideas to help you improve your home. Danny Lipford: We’re right in the middle of a two part renovation called Today ’s Bath, it involves the renovation and updating of two different bathrooms, one being a very small master bathroom that was in this area and then on the other side of the wall even a smaller bathroom that was kind of the guest bathroom and we’re making them a lot larger by encroaching into this area which was once the master bedroom . Now, by taking up this space we were able to create this very nice custom walk -in shower than a very long vanity, two different sinks, and this cozy little niche for the whirlpool tub. Also the existing guest bathroom ’s a lot larger, a lot more functional and we had enough space left over by encroaching into this bedroom to create a very nice...

A London family’s home-from-home in the heart of Van Gogh’s Provence In the heart of the French countryside and near the town of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where Van Gogh painted over 150 of his most well-known works, a London family has created its perfect home-from-home. The detached house and grounds, re-modelled by David Price Design with a new extension, terraces and fun additions - including a boules pitch - feature an interior inspired by the rich colours of the Mediterranean and showcasing a wonderful, eclectic array of furnishings and accessories, variously inherited from previous owners and sourced anew by the home’s new owners via local Provençale markets, Kempton Park Antiques Market in UK and from holidays further afield. The traditional interiors palette in this part of France has always tended to be cooling white walls , with colour introduced by the furniture and fittings, but the home’s new owners wanted to be a little more daring and contemporary in their treatment: ...

Kya deLongchamps considers the challenge of matching up facilities to square metres in the most hardworking and necessary of spaces — the bathroom. A smaller bathroom can be a triumph of spatial design and ergonomics — and there has never been such a wide choice of suites, storage and plumbing solutions to tailor out those millimetres. Rush your planning, however, and it can feel as if the walls are closing in around you in what should be a private and restful room. Follow our tips, however, and you can have a space scaled to crisp, clean perfection. A few millimetres shaved from a suite can make all the difference.  For smaller rooms, look for ranges which, though slightly compact, are in perfect proportion to each other. The right arrangement will fool the eye without cramping your style. Even the degree to which the WC pan intrudes into the floor-plan from the wall can make an amazing difference. * A rounder shape rather than a soft cornered triangular pan can save up to 5cm and...
