Finding the right waterproof panels for your bathroom
Planning a bathroom design is exciting, but it’s common to encounter problems, especially if you’re not sure what you want or you’ve never revamped or renovated a bathroom or ensuite before. There are several key factors to think about when choosing waterproof bathroom wall panels for your home, including:
- Your budget: it’s always beneficial to go into any type of home renovation project with a budget. The cost of materials for bathrooms varies and some options may be more suitable than others. Once you set a budget, you can filter results and narrow down your options based on affordability.
- Your vision: many of us dream of having a sumptuous, tranquil, serene bathroom to escape to at the end of a busy day. The aesthetic of your wall panels will play an integral role in creating a new look. It’s a great idea to explore different styles and designs and browse galleries to get ideas before you decide which panels to buy.
- Your requirements: bathrooms are functional spaces, which often cater to different people and provide a base for different activities. Choose panels that match your requirements. It’s important that your bathroom looks great and ticks the functionality boxes.
- Size and shape: the size of your bathroom may impact the choices you make in terms of colours and design. If you have a small bathroom, which doesn’t have much natural light, for example, you may wish to create the illusion of a larger, brighter space by opting for light shower panels.
