Melbourne's Leading Bathroom Renovation Company
Your bathroom space isn’t just a location to rinse yourself clean after a hard day’s work – it should be a place of peace, tranquility and relaxation. Whether you have a single bathroom, or a few conveniently placed around your home, there’s nothing quite like a productive bathroom renovation to really breathe some life in to an old or dated design, and Latand are the leaders in Melbourne for Bathroom Renovations. The size of the bathroom shouldn’t matter and it’s actually a little less about ‘making-do’, and a lot more about making the most of the space itself. Here’s a look at a few things to consider when renovating your bathroom.
Most modern bathrooms will feature at least one prominent source of water, but it’s not uncommon to see shower heads, bathtub and sink taps connected to a water supply as standard. Regardless of how many elements are connected to your water system, it’s important to consider them before undertaking any modifications to your bathroom area.
Fortunately, it’s never been easier to modify water flow – and many home owners decide to completely relocate their water supply via pipes and other fittings. If this is an option for you, then don’t overlook the potential to re-shape and define the bathroom of your dreams by moving things around. You might even find that shifting a few pipes could make all the difference when it comes to installing your new appliances!
The Aesthetic Touch
Even the most simplistic bathrooms can emanate relaxation, and many people prefer to introduce gentle shades to their tiles, flooring and even ceiling to create this atmosphere. On the other side of the coin, there’s nothing to say that you couldn’t introduce your own colour schemes to your bathroom too.
For smaller bathrooms, there are particular colours that can promote a larger space and these include vibrant greens, pastel yellows and shades of cream. Even larger bathrooms can benefit from a colour scheme, especially if you’re keen to renovate and revitalise. Bold red, fuchsia pink and sky blue can breathe some much needed energy in to tiles and flooring – and you can even go the extra mile and introduce touches of these colours in the form of towels, handles and shower curtains.

Storage Spaces
If there’s one thing that’s often overlooked when it comes to the layout of a bathroom; it’s storage space! We all need storage and rather than leaving accessories and utensils lying about all over the place, a neatly situated cupboard or two can minimise the effect of clutter within a bathroom. There are a few ideal spots to install storage units, and these include under-sink spaces, or via wall-mounted cupboards.
Some sinks have necks that run straight down to the ground, and this can be quite limiting as far as installing a cupboard goes. That’s where placing a complementary cupboard above the sink can come in handy. There are so many options to choose from, and you can go for something a little more unique, or slightly more traditional as is the case with mirrored cupboards. There’s no limit on these types of cupboards either – in fact you can even install a few around the bathroom to really maximise your storage, and you’ll find plenty of inspiration from websites like Latand's.
Considering Your Ventilation
When compared to other rooms around the home, none will be quite as exposed to water, steam and the potential for damp, like bathrooms. Even with the window wide open, the tendency for walls and ceilings to absorb moisture is like nowhere else in your home. That’s why it’s a priority to consider your ventilation before starting your bathroom project.
Tiles are a great way to repel water saturation, but what about the grout in between? As heavy duty as this binding agent can be, it can suffer with water damage over time, and that may be the reason why you’ve decided to renovate in the first place! The best way to ventilate your bathroom is to ensure that a fresh supply of air can make its way in and out. The air will help water to evaporate, and if you’re keen to help the process along whilst deterring signs of damp – then make a point of wiping your walls (and possibly ceiling) down with a dry towel. You’ll be polishing and protecting simultaneously – keeping your new bathroom functional for years to come!
