We’ve been brainstorming ideas for years on how to help more people create beautiful spaces. We understand that our custom design services may not suit everyone’s budgets or maybe you just want to be more knowledgeable during the process.
We decided we wanted to give you some of the tools you need to feel confident in your design choices. You can learn your design lingo, and be ready to start the new build or renovation process in your bathroom. Sign up for four weeks worth of FREE design resources and get your reno or new build started!
So it’s bathroom month!
We are giving away four amazing resources that can give you a solid foundation to creating a beautiful bathroom.
1. Measure your space
As designers our first goal is always to measure and plan the existing space. Unless you know what you are working with, you have no way of knowing what you can create.
In this first week, you’ll get our guide on everything you need to measure to create an accurate plan of your space, and the measurements that your builder, suppliers and trades will need to know BEFORE you start shopping!
2. Understand your style
While it may be fun, rocking up at a tile shop with no idea of your tile will be completely overwhelming – trust us! Before you start browsing, know your style. Our style guide will help you identify your own unique style (without applying generic labels!).
That way, when you do start looking around you can quickly identify what will and won’t work for your style, and the words to describe your style clearly and accurately to other people.
Also, don’t forget to check out our Pinterest boards for some of our favourite styles to get you started.
3. Talk like a pro
We get it – there is so much jargon in the design and construction world. We’ve put together a design glossary of all the terms we find clients ask about so you know what you feel confident talking to trades and suppliers about what you want!
4. Create a specification
The last few guides may just give you enough knowledge and confidence to book in with one of our online bathroom design services. Send us through those measurements and your design style, and we will create a custom bathroom design to fit your usable space, your style and your everyday lifestyle. If you’d like to learn more about our design service, book a discovery call with one of our friendly designers.
BUT, if you’re ready to create your own bathroom, don’t miss our specification. We’ve created a template in Word that you can fill out, templated to ensure you don’t miss a single detail that you need. From there, you can pass it along to your builder or trades to ensure that A) your quote is accurate with the products you ACTUALLY want and B) nothing is missed during construction, and is all recorded in writing.
Don’t be afraid to reach out if you have any questions!
