Traditionally, the kitchen has been the focus of the home, and certainly the room that has benefitted most from recent home improvements, but now it seems that the bathroom is ready to overtake the kitchen in terms of luxury and design.  Whether installing a new bathroom, shower room, or additional cloak room with wash sink and toilet, this is one of the rooms most likely to appeal to a new buyer or prospective tenant when selling or renting your home.

With that in mind, it makes sense to ensure that you can get the most stylish bathroom, shower enclosures or even wet room for your money.  There are some things to consider when you are remodelling your bathroom, to help get the best out of your room and budget.

Consider luxury materials, such as marble, to give an elegant touch to even the smallest of showers without being dependant on space.  Take lighting into account; whether an array of tea lights arranged around your bath, or recessed lights above the bathroom cabinet, lighting provides a finishing touch and should not be ignored.  Mirrors are the simplest and potentially cheapest way of incorporating light into your bathroom, and can create the illusion of space in a small room.  A mirrored wall above a sink is the simplest and cheapest way of achieving this effect.  If you have the space, create an area for pampering in your bathroom.  You could even include a plasma screen television for the ultimate bathing experience.  Whatever your budget, be creative with colour, using paint if you do not have the funds for expensive tiles, to set off your bathroom furniture to perfection.
