Product selection day. An important and exciting step in the renovation process. We've jotted down our insider tips and everything you need to know to be fully prepared to head in store! The outcome? A dream bathroom with a stress free and seamless journey.

Before You Begin:

Preparation is key

If you find yourself at square one, our renovation guide is an excellent resource, providing you with the basics of planning and design inspiration.

Get clear on your measurements

Ensure you have accurate room measurements and layout plans, including any doorways, windows, or nib walls. It's handy to also have existing plumbing and drainage location information on hand.

Product Dimensions

Utilise our Imagin3D tool, our 3D Planner to help you create a visual representation of your bathroom. This tool can help you understand how different products will fit within the space and really start creating a clear visual. Hot tip: This is also a great tool to share with your team of trades and consultants to communicate your plan.

Moodboard

Build a moodboard that reflects your design aesthetic. This invaluable tool will aid in effectively communicating your color and finish preferences to consultants and designers, which will help them point you in the right direction and make your product selection process as smooth as possible. Moodboard-ing not your thing? Take some inspiration from the latest of The Block bathroom reveals of The Block 2023 here.

Build a checklist:

Develop a checklist encompassing all the decisions and orders you need to make. This methodical approach helps you keep track and ensures no important aspect is overlooked. Rest assured our team of consultants can help you with this and through consultation will prompt you with questions on your requirements.

Prioritise your preferences:

Identify which product features matter most to you, be it sustainability, a bath for the family, Australian made products, smart technology integration, or specific delivery timelines. Think about modern additions like LED mirrors, Smart Toilets, sensor tapware, and thermostatic shower mixers to enhance convenience and potentially increase your bathroom's resale value. If you have any questions, add them to your checklist to raise with your consultant.
