Luxury for less

Tip 1. Do not sacrifice quality for dollars. Bathroom renovations are a major undertaking and it is not something you are likely to do often. So make sure you get your bathroom right the first time. You don't want to have to replace cheap, inferior bathroom products at a later date because it becomes more expensive in the long run.

Tip 2. Do your research. Some popular bathroom brands are renowned for their quality craftsmanship, have extended warranties and come reasonably priced.

Tip 3. Get the bath right and save a little more on other bathroom products. The bath cannot be easily replaced or removed, so buy something you love which is of a good quality.

Tip 4. Adopt the rationalist architectural value of ‘less is more' and buy a wall basin instead of a vanity for your bathroom. Not only are these moderately priced but they create a spacious bathroom environment.

Tip 5. Select bathroom tapware with a high WELS rating, this will save on water usage and your water bills in the future.

Tip 6. Back to wall toilet suites are a stylish and affordable alternative to the popular wall hung pans or wall faced pans. They are modern and discreet, easy to clean and complement a contemporary styled bathroom.

Tip 7. Semi-frameless shower screens give the illusion of space but at a fraction of the cost of fully frameless shower screens.
