Bathrooms can be a chaotic mess when kids are involved; from fights about showering to accidents with toilet training, a clean and pristine bathroom can devolve into a messy state in the blink of an eye. Designing a bathroom to be easy for adults and kids to use, and clean, will make bath-time a more enjoyable experience all-round, and will save you time and effort in the aftermath clean-up.

Child-friendly layouts

Designing your bathroom layout around its usage only makes sense. A kid’s bathroom should be fun, but more importantly, it should be functional. Designing the bathroom to be easy to use for both the adults and children will make bath-time a much more pleasurable experience for all.

If you have more than one child, consider installing multiple sinks to prevent arguments and fights over who gets to brush their teeth first. Child-sized fixtures can also make life easier but remember they will quickly outgrow them so expect to upgrade regularly — adaptions like safety stools provide a good middle ground, allowing the kids to reach things on their own, but avoiding expensive replacements as they grow.

The biggest layout and space-based decision will almost certainly be whether to opt for a bath, shower, or both, either as a joint unit or individual fixtures. Showers offer a lot of convenience and save space, but baths can be fun for the kids, and a nice relaxing space for the adults. Hybrid units — bathtubs with a showering attachment — can be a great way to get the best of both worlds without taking up extra space.

Fun Colours

Making bath-time a fun and entertaining experience will help to ease the inevitable battles over showering and teeth cleaning as your kids grow. Selecting fun and engaging colours can turn bathroom activities into fun events to look forward too rather than something to battle. Involving the kids in the design decisions will further help by letting them put their own unique spin on things and feel included.

Storage Solutions

When selecting your bathroom storage solutions think about the different types of things to be stored. Child-friendly storage, such as easy to use and reach drawers, are great to enable the kids to have some independence, but you should also think about having some out-of-reach cupboards for storing dangerous items such as cleaning supplies and medication.

Child Safe

Bath-time can be a lot of fun for little ones, but it can also present a number of risks if not handled with care. Here are a few things to take in consideration when designing your child-friendly bathroom to be both fun and safe:

· Bathrooms can be slippery, especially when the kids are excitedly running around, or fighting to avoid a bath. Non-slip surfaces and flooring can help to reduce the risk of slips and falls.

· One or two lockable cabinets will help to keep dangerous cleaning supplies and medications away from interested little hands and mouths.

· Soft close toilet seats, doors, and drawers will help to protect little fingers from getting slammed in painful places.

· Kids are inquisitive by nature, and given the opportunity will likely stick their fingers anywhere they can. Drain covers will prevent small fingers from getting stuck and hurt, while still allowing the water to flow away freely.

· While technically not part of a renovation, lowering your water temperature to 50ºC or less will help avoid nasty scalds when they insist on running the water themselves.

If you are planning a bathroom renovation project, you may have a lot of ideas in mind. You may also have just as many questions, including whether it would be wiser to hire a bathroom renovation company or to tackle the job yourself. 

Once you factor in the costs associated with new plumbing, a new bathtub, a new toilet, and more – it can be tempting to want to do the work yourself. However, before jumping to any conclusions, you need to consider a few things first: 

There are some major features of a do-it-yourself (DIY) bathroom renovation that are relatively easy to perform and include:

Bathroom renovations that are better left to the professionals include:

Renovating bathroom spaces, both large and small, can be a lengthy and stressful process. You can take on an entire renovation project yourself, but unless you have significant experience, you can expect it to take longer, cost more, and take up much of your needed space. 

When all is said and done, you want to make sure that any updates made to your home are done properly and in a way that will increase the functionality of your space and the value of your property. 

Know when to call in the professionals 

Most DIYers with a moderate amount of experience can easily do a surface-level bathroom remodel, especially if they use the same top-notch materials that the professionals depend on. But the bottom line is that not everyone is a handyman. Anyone can tile a bathroom, but how can you be certain of the end result? Anyone can waterproof, but how can you be certain that a leak will never occur? If you do not get the project right the first time around, it can result in a lot of headaches and money spent on repairs in the long-run.  

While you can certainly purchase your own materials, fixtures, and accessories, you will want to have a bathroom renovation team consisting of reliable and experienced professionals by your side. At Crystal Bathrooms, our clients recognise us as Sydney’s leader in bathroom renovations. We take pride in our workmanship, which is backed up by 30 years of combined industry experience. Our projects are more than ideas – they are as unique as every client we serve. We know that a bathroom is one of the most complex spaces in your home, which is why we strive to provide you with peace of mind while creating the bathroom of your dreams.

Homes need to adapt to the changing needs of those living in them over time. However, there is a fear that adapting a bathroom to make it more accessible is a costly endeavour. It doesn’t need to be if it’s well planned and carefully thought out.

While tackling an accessible bathroom renovation, there are a lot of factors that need to be considered that you may not even have to worry about when designing a typical bathroom. The changes will largely depend on the needs of the homeowner. The needs of the user will dictate the general design to accommodate each individual’s situation. 

Why Accessibility is So Important

While most people don’t need to think about whether or not their bathrooms are accessible, many do. Accessible toilets, sinks, and showers are integral to people with disabilities. It’s not only a daily necessity, but it also allows for a certain amount of independence that might not have otherwise been possible in the space. While a grab bar or door width may not be something another person would even think important, for some, it’s the difference between being able to maneuver with space, or not.

How to Design an Accessible Bathroom

The first thing to consider is who the bathroom needs to be accessible for. This will determine what types of accessibility features need to be considered or added. For example, are you designing the bathroom for:

While a wheelchair user may need specific mobility considerations, like a wider doorway or more room to maneuver in the bathroom’s space, a user with balance or grip issues may require a slightly different layout and handle features in completely different areas of the space to help them better navigate.

Before beginning to design the space, ask the user:

This will help you discover valuable information, such as the positioning of grab bars or whether a bath or shower is a better design decision.

The Basics of Accessibility

While each individual space will be unique to cater to the user’s specific needs, there are some standards to take into consideration. These include: 

Potential Design Features

Functionality can also be beautiful. Accessible bathrooms don’t have to appear industrial or hospital-like in order to comply with a user’s unique requirements. Simple design features, such as having the shower floor flush with the regular floor (so there is no obstructive lip) is both functional and modern, for example.

Think about other typical bathroom elements as well, and how they can be adjusted for the user:

Mirrors and Sinks

Typically, for those who need wheelchair accessibility, sinks and mirrors will need to be placed a bit lower.

Storage

Make sure storage options take into consideration height or reach restrictions to ensure the users are able to take advantage of storage solutions and can use them safely.

Non-Slip Surfaces

Think about the materials used in places like floors, showers or bathtubs. Find non-slip solutions that can help mitigate slips and falls.

Vanity Handles or Taps

For those that may face grip issues, look for solutions that might assist them with simple tasks like opening doors or turning water on and off.

Even when adjusting details to suit the user, the array of solutions available can be made to feel light and modern, while remaining accessible and safe. 

By understanding your client’s long-term needs and incorporating elements that help them navigate their space with ease, you’re helping the environment adapt to them. If you have questions about how to renovate or create your own accessible bathroom, let’s talk. Speak to the team at Crystal Bathrooms to learn more about installing items that make a bathroom both compliant and accessible.

When Dannielle Miller read a story that included a section on the state of school bathrooms, she was inspired to make school bathrooms more welcoming and nurturing. From there, The School Toilet Project was born.

After a bit of research Dannielle discovered:

While not universally true, many school toilets are either sterile and industrial-feeling or covered in filth. Because of this, schools across Australia are working towards redesigning their school bathrooms to make them more welcoming, less sterile in appearance, and less prone to filth.

If your school is considering a renovation, it’s a good time to reimagine the space to consider what may be in the best interest of the students.

Here are a few things to consider when tackling school bathroom renovations:

Bathroom Fixtures

To make cleaning easier, look for fixtures that are wall-mounted. Sink counters accumulate standing water, so it may be a good idea to add an accompanying shallow shelf where students can place their personal items.

To save water and energy, look for low-flow pressure-assisted toilets, Self closing mixer taps or sensor taps, hands-free faucets, automatic soap dispensers, and motion-detecting hand dryers. Fixtures that are sensor operated save water, electricity and heating costs. They also improve hygiene and can help control vandalism.

Cubicle Partitions

Cubicle partitions should guarantee a certain level of privacy. Many school bathrooms have smaller partitions, allowing students to crawl underneath or reach over existing walls. It’s best to ensure the final design lessens gaps on either side of cubicle doors. Partitions should come closer to the floor and be tall enough so that no one can reach over them. The materials used should be easy to clean, rust-proof, and able to withstand vandalism. Cubicle doors can lose their alignment over time. Therefore, they should have sufficient clearance and good lock latch length and function.

Floors

When considering flooring options, avoid Vinyl Composition Tile or sheet vinyl that has been proven to crack, tear, and attract bacteria. A smarter choice might be porcelain tiles in larger formats that are much more durable and more modern in appearance. When choosing grout, understand that it will darken with time. Starting with a darker grout is a good idea. Think about corners as well. By using curved tiles where the walls and/or floor meet, you will help make future cleaning easier.

Walls and Ceilings

Ensure that ceilings are treated with anti-fungus and anti-mildew additives. The surface should be able to be cleaned with mild detergent and water, as opposed to an industrial cleaning agent. Similarly, walls should have some sort of non-absorbant covering. Some regions may have stipulations for materials used around sinks or toilets. Walls with at least a partial covering of ceramic tile will help ensure moisture cannot build up and cause the formation of mould or mildew on surfaces. Check local building codes as well to see if there are recommendations on the use of tiles and any specific requirements for tiled walls.

Lighting

Where possible, daylight will help with a school bathroom’s ambiance. Adding in skylights or clerestory glass will help the area appear cleaner while doing the double duty of reducing lighting requirements. More energy savings can be found by choosing motion sensor lights that will turn off when no one is using the space.

Design Elements

While functionality and longevity often trump design in places like schools that need to ensure a bathroom renovation stands the test of time due to a relatively high volume of traffic, some design elements can be included to help personalise the space for the students. A simple choice, like choosing a lighter colour palette, for example, will help elevate the space, making it feel more open and inviting. Choosing wall decals or adding school-specific design elements (like accent colours matching a school’s official colours) can help liven up the space, making it feel less institutional.

When considering a school bathroom upgrade, it’s a good idea to seek out professional assistance. Experts will be able to ensure the proper permits are submitted and that any state or local regulations are taken into consideration so that the final result isn’t only welcoming for the students, it’s up to code and in line with legal requirements.

Considering renovating your schools’ bathroomsContact the team at Crystal Bathrooms today to see how we can help!

In any home, and for that matter in any public space, one of the most commonly used areas is the bathroom. With its constant exposure to high humidity, bacteria, and chemicals, it stands to reason that this particular room requires attentive and frequent maintenance. Add to this the issue that interior design styles are constantly changing, the idea of remodelling and renovating becomes appealing.  

Yet, renovating is anything but easy. Bathroom essentials are pricey – not to mention the costs associated with plastering, tiling, installation, etc. 

With all of this in mind, have you ever wanted to have a simple bathroom design that would never go out of style and would always look fresh and elegant? Here are a few ways in which you can keep your bathroom looking timeless: 

It is equally important to bare in mind that aside from having lighting that will create a warm and cozy ambience, it needs to provide safety and functionality when specific tasks need to be performed. 

With the aforementioned tips in mind, the number one rule of how to keep your bathroom looking timeless is to keep things neat and minimal. Creating an impactful minimalist bathroom with simple chrome fixtures, classical materials, and natural lighting will make your bathroom stand the test of time.

For help in bringing luxury and style into any bathroom interior, our team at Crystal Bathrooms will deliver more than ideas. With our choice of fixtures, fittings, and colours, we aim to create unique designs that inspire and reflect each client’s personal taste. We add timeless value to commercial bathroom renovations to complement the evolving style of today’s modern world.

Renovating your bathroom can be a costly and time-consuming process. Choosing just the right fixtures, floors, and lighting for your space can feel like a daunting task. For a small bathroom, there’s an added challenge in getting a layout that meets your needs within the restricted area. We’ve selected the top tips you need to know to have a smooth and successful bathroom renovation in a small space.

Bathroom renovations can be broken down into 3 categories:

  1. Designs and ideas
  2. Lighting/Flooring
  3. Fixtures and Fittings

1. Designs and Ideas

There are many different layouts that work in small bathrooms, but here are a couple of things to guide you as you begin making choices.

Vanity: Bathroom vanities are a great way to maximize storage space without adding too many furniture pieces. Be sure to look for a vanity that doesn’t add too much visual bulk to the room to avoid making your small space feel even smaller.

Mirrors: Bathroom mirrors can pull double duty. An inset or wall-mounted medicine cabinet can hide behind a mirror to sneak in some extra storage space. Mirrors can also make spaces feel larger.

Vertical storage: Another excellent option for small spaces is to add storage over the toilet or mount shelves on the wall. Just be cautious with how much the pieces protrude from the wall.

Bathtubs: For some people, a tub is essential to their bathroom. For others, not so much. Don’t be afraid to go bigger on a shower if baths aren’t your thing. Be sure to weigh the pros and cons of a tub (size, available space, actual needs) before making a choice.

2. Lighting and Flooring

Lighting and flooring can play a critical role in how small your already small bathroom feels.

Flooring: Stay away from dark colours on floors or walls in a small space. Brightening up the walls will make the area feel more open and airy. If you choose to extend your wall tiles to the ceiling, using light or neutral colours will draw your eye upwards without making the room feel cramped or closed in.

Lighting: Avoid using pendant lights, chandelier lights, or other big bulky fixtures in a small space. If you have super high ceilings, miniature versions of these may be okay, but for most small spaces these types of lights will make the space feel even more restricted. There are several LED lighting options that are low-volume and blend into the ceiling. If you have room in your budget, adding a skylight or bigger window will make your space feel expansive and bring an extra feeling of luxury to the room.

3. Fixtures and Fittings

Quality: A small space doesn’t mean less quality. Installing quality fixtures and fittings will extend the life of your remodel for a longer period of time. Try to balance between splurges and realistic choices for your budget. The upside of a small space? You have less tile to buy and install so you could splurge a bit more here than if you had a larger space.

Quantity: Adding too many fixtures into a small space can make the room feel cluttered and even tinier. Keeping the space clutter free in general will make it feel larger. Investing in smart storage solutions will help you stay organised. For small spaces, start with the non-negotiable fixtures: shower, vanity, and a toilet. Then you can look for options that are compact or visually clutter-free like a fully frameless shower or a medicine cabinet and mirror combination.

Remember that ultimately, your bathroom needs to meet your needs and style. Whether you like modern or more traditional designs, there are options for every bathroom regardless of size and layout. Getting creative with your space and being smart with your storage will open up a world of possibilities for your small bathroom renovation.

The bathroom continues to be one of the most used rooms in any house, and if yours is beginning to look like it (a bit worn, a bit dated), 2019 may be the year you decide to refresh your home’s most used space. The year has seen some exciting trends that will make for a fun renovation, especially if you’re ready to play with design elements. Big, bold statements in the bathroom, for example, are on the rise. Playing with texture is a popular addition to tiles and statement walls, and making your bathroom a welcome oasis with spa-like flourishes continues to be a popular direction for redesigns.

There are many reasons people take the plunge and commit to an update. From simply needing a bit of a change in an out-dated space, to wanting to take advantage of the latest design trends or technology advancements, here are the 5 most popular reasons for a bathroom renovation in 2019, and how you can incorporate the latest trends into the space:

1. It’s Out-dated

Bathrooms are usually the last room to get updated in any house, mostly because they are high-traffic areas and it requires a bit of juggling to figure out how everyone’s morning routines will be affected by the work, which can take days or weeks, depending on the scope. But an updated bathroom can change the function and feel of an entire house, so it’s no wonder that many are looking to make changes. In 2019, updating your bathroom may include adding modern elements such as natural materials, brushed metals, and textured tiles and patterns. Of course, a neutral palette is always in style and will remain classic and fresh year after year.

2. There are underlying problems

Nothing makes a bathroom renovation more urgent than underlying problems, such as leaks or electrical issues. Updating a bathroom will allow you to deal with the issue for good (before it gets worse) and has the added bonus of allowing you to plan ahead to decrease the likelihood of further issues down the road. Waterproofing by adding backer boards, which are 100% waterproof when taped and jointed, will protect vulnerable wall areas around showers and tubs. Japanese-inspired wetrooms are also gaining popularity in design and functionality, as are bold lighting choices. If you’re adjusting the electrical, it’s also the perfect time to add a dimmer switch to up the romance and create mood lighting for evenings you crave a long relaxing soak in the tub.

3. To increase home value

The value a newly renovated bathroom adds to a home cannot be overstated, and, if you’re looking to sell in 2019, giving your bathroom a modern update will help you increase your asking price significantly. Consider 2019 trends like incorporating marble elements, art deco influences, statement art or creating a spacious open-concept space to up the wow factor for prospective buyers. Be sure to keep things neutral as well. Although a statement wall or statement wallpaper is extremely trendy, it’s also very taste-driven, and you don’t want to lose the sale because someone can’t see past your choice of design flourishes.

4. To boost storage space

The necessity of having ample storage space around the home is important, and a bathroom renovation is the perfect time to rethink how to add more storage potential to the room. Since most bathroom designs tend to be minimal, storage is often overlooked, but starting a reno with storage in mind can open up a world of possibilities. Think about adding elements like shelving, custom cupboards, or even spa-inspired storage cubbies to hide everything from dirty clothes bins to towels to everyday toiletries. Having storage space ready for all of your things will clear your counter space of clutter and allow for a sleek minimal feel in the newly finished space.

5. Bathrooms Got Smarter

Technology has hit every aspect of our lives in unexpected ways, and the bathroom is no exception. Digital shower panels offer unparalleled control over temperature and flow, infrared sensors can turn on mirror lights, and modern touches such as radiant flooring and adjustable heated towel racks add a level of luxury that may be missing in your current space. By committing to a renovation, you can add in environmentally friendly fixtures and smart home elements that will make you feel like you’re living in the future while helping you save money on water and heating as well.

When following trends, remember to pick the elements that fit best with your personal style while maintaining functionality. As bathrooms aren’t likely to be updated for years to come after the renovation, choose trends that have a sense of longevity or timelessness or that are easily swapped out when you need a bit of a change. Wallpaper is easy enough to change when the mood hits you. Tiles, on the other hand, aren’t. Where possible, keep things simple and neutral and you’ll have an amazing space that will be enjoyed for years to come.

No matter what type of bathroom renovation in Sydney you are looking for, we have the expertise and knowledge to make your ideas come to life. Get in touch with us today and be on your way to having the bathroom of your dreams!

It’s not easy to give up your bathroom for days or weeks on end, but if you’ve committed to a refresh, you’re probably prepared to sacrifice a bit of convenience in the short term in order to revitalise an important part of your living space.

Bathroom redesigns are great for individuals set on adding value to their homes set for sale, but they’re also a smart investment if your fixtures are showing wear, you need to fix a bigger underlying problem, you need to safe-proof for small children, and even if you’re looking for that extra bit of storage.

No matter the reason, there are a few details you should be aware of before you dive in, to make the process as efficient and pain-free as possible. Here are 8 things to consider to ensure your renovation remains a seamless, enjoyable experience:

1. Set a realistic budget.
Like any other home renovation project, you’d be surprised at how easy it is to lose sight of the amount of money you’re spending pretty quickly. Decide up front what you are comfortable with spending to complete the renovation, and work out what’s possible within that budget to lower the likelihood of panic or frustration further into the renovation process.

2. Plan a layout. The stick to the plan.
Chances are, your bathroom already has piping and electricity laid out in a specific way. In most cases, you can change these elements (just understand this will cost more money). But no matter what the plan, it’s advisable to show it to your tradespeople for their opinion as well. They may see things as professionals you might have missed and can save you time and money with their professional insights. Then, once you’ve decided on a layout, consider it set in stone. Moving an entire bath unit from one side of the room to the other will be more expensive than leaving it where it is, but think of how much money it will be if you change your mind on an element like that…and then change it again.

3. Less is more.
simple design is more effective, especially if your bathroom is small. It’s always advisable to avoid curves, steps, crown moulding, or non-essential details that may clutter the space and make it feel over-done. Keep in mind that a simpler design is also a more cost-effective one.

4. Don’t downplay the storage.
While focusing on design minimal is ideal, remember that storage is also essential in keeping everything looking, well, minimal. You’ll most likely want to tuck away dirty clothes bins, towels, toiletries, and other miscellaneous items essential to a bathroom. Make sure you’ve considered where all these things will go as you finalise your design.

5. Do your research.
Renovating any space requires a lot of up-front work. Before jumping in, begin to source professionals. Ask for recommendations from friends, or do some online digging. When making inquiries, have a list of questions ready, from availability to costs. Don’t forget about the sanitaryware too. Begin to shop around at different stores or suppliers to find the best pricing or special deals.

6. Choose sanitaryware before starting.
Once more, do the work ahead of time before gutting your bathroom. Choose your sanitaryware before beginning, so everything is ready and on hand for installation, and your tradespeople can see what they are working with before they begin. This way, the plumber, for example, can ensure hot and cold pipes are in the correct position. Have a list of everything you need before you hit the sales floor and be ready to mix and match items for extra savings. And keep your budget top of mind. Remember: you may be able to salvage useable elements in your bathroom, such as a bathtub or sink, to save money and stay on budget.

7. Consider lighting and prioritise air ventilation.
If you’d like to create a spa-like oasis, you may want to add two circuits to have both task lights and dimming lights. If you prefer to have a central fitting, consider a pendant light. When seeking a cost-saving solution, note a central fitting will be less expensive than wall lights or individual pot lights. Of course, if the idea of one light doesn’t seem sufficient, source multi-bulb fittings that require just one power cable.

Also, hire an electrician early, so he can plan his job accordingly. He’ll possibly need to do some re-wiring and should be consulted on lighting schemes. Make sure to prioritise air ventilation to prevent mould and moisture build up. Your electrician can install a fan that vents to the exterior of the house, to help you avoid an overly moist environment.

8. Consider your waterproofing options.
Waterproofing is essential around the sink and tub area, but it might also be something to consider on the floor and walls too. Backer boards can be used on walls behind your bathtub or shower. They are 100% waterproof when taped and jointed and even act as insulation. These will limit leaks that could be costly in the future.

No matter what your price-point, planning is key. Doing some preliminary homework and discussing your design with professionals will help the project immensely. Don’t forget to consider what’s already there to simplify the re-design process, and make sure to pay attention to little details, like waterproofing and ventilation that will keep your bathroom fresh and inviting for years to come.

Homeowners love their bathrooms; understandably so. You spend a lot of your time in that room, no wonder it has to be a Zen oasis. Coincidentally, potential buyers also look for bathrooms that they consider lush. Therefore, if for no other reason, a bathroom renovation would come in handy when you are looking to increase the value of your home. A proper bathroom design before the remodelling can make your home easier to sell.

Suppose though you do not intend to sell, what good would a bathroom design do you? A full bathroom renovation that covers the design aspect will allow you to correct features of the room that you do not like or that are faulty. Do you not like the colour of your bathroom walls? Is the sink’s design not to your taste? What about the tiles, are they cracked? Renovating your bathroom provides an opportunity to fix whatever issues you might have.

In some cases, the issue could be space. If you have oversized sinks or your bathroom feels congested, a renovation helps to clear up space for storage. There are trends on the market that allow you to de-clutter the room and to replace old furniture while at it. Some of the solutions include trends like medicine cabinets and open shelving or wall storage cabinets.

While the benefits of bathroom designs in Sydney cannot be oversold, the need for a professional designer should not be undersold. People often assume the designer while trying to save money only to end up spending more than they should have. The following are three reasons you need a bathroom designer when doing bathroom renovations:

They offer unique ideas

Have you have been scrolling through Pinterest for months and still cannot settle on a design? A designer will be able to leverage their experience to give you a bathroom that is trendy, original and fitting to your tastes. They can envision functional and aesthetic properties of the bathroom at the same time, delivering design options that exceed Pinterest pins.

They can create energy-efficient bathrooms

There has been a lot of excitement around energy efficiency and with good reason too. Now more than ever, the need for green homes is palpable. Next, to the kitchen, the bathroom is the space in the house that if left uncontrolled can amp up the electricity and the water budgets. A good designing company can balance energy efficiency and aesthetics.

They remove clutter and enhance relaxation

Whether it is an oversized sink, tile or a bathroom design in Sydney that eats up space unnecessarily, a designer can identify them and suggest ways to get rid of them. They can work with the contractors to install only that which is necessary. For example, a bathroom with a spa bath may need two faucets while one with no spa bath only has the second tap eating up space. In another case, if you want to place your washer in the bathroom, what do you remove? Where do you store extra toiletries? The designer bears these questions in mind as they suggest a way forward.
