Want to make your bathroom alive but not sure where to start? We sought professional advice on how best to deal with bathroom renovations.

1. WRITE DOWN YOUR FAVORITE LIST

"I find this effective way to get what you want in your bathroom. Then write down two more lists: what you should have and your wishes. After that, it's a matter of seeing where the budget goes." - Vanessa Cook, Bathroom Designer, Smart Bathrooms

2. REVIEW ALL THE RECENT ITEMS ONLINE AND RECEIVE ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THE MAGAZINE. 

"Explore all the styles you may like and choose the one you know you will like. Stick to your guns. Make sure you consult your wishes with your plumber/plumber so they can adjust the plumbing to fit the product you want and design choices." - Belinda Geels, Marketing Manager of the Bathroom, Reece

3. HE THINKS I HAVE MADE SOMEONE

"Dressing the living room is my philosophy! - Jacinta Preston, Interior Designer, Jacinta Preston Design

4. THINK OF STRONG Ingredients

"Some of the main toilets we see include: private baths, large open spaces, light-filled toilets, good-looking bathrooms, two bathrooms and hidden tanks." - Belinda Geels, Marketing Manager of the Bathroom, Reece

5. LIGHT IS THE KEY

"Lighting is a very important element in the design of a bathroom. After that, it creates a sense of space and uses beautiful materials such as tiles, sinks and baths. - Brooke Aitken, builder, Brooke Aitken Design

6. PLANNING NEWS

"Know and understand the space you need to work on. Measure important areas before choosing your product. You will need size by your size to filter out products that may not suit you." - Belinda Geels, Marketing Manager of the Bathroom, Reece

7. IF YOU CAN'T, GO WITH A LOCAL PERSON

"It doesn't help you and them; they are less likely to hurt you if they meet you in the shops all the time!" - Mark Annesley, Director, Bathroom Renovation

8. MAKE YOUR KEYING SYSTEM TO CHECK IF THE EXPECTED PLANNING CAN WORK WITH THE EXISTING PLANNING.

"If you need to change the plumbing, you need to know if you can reach the bottom of the bathroom and how that might affect the floor. In those cases, maintaining existing buildings and structures is a safe first step." - Brooke Aitken, builder, Brooke Aitken Design

9. CHOOSE EASY-TO-CLEAN ITEMS

"One of the most important considerations sometimes: how easy is it to clean? I personally think it's important to consider this when choosing building materials." - Tim Leveson, Interior Designer, Tim Leveson Interiors

10. BE CONFIDENT IN YOUR BUDGET

"Wet areas are the most expensive rooms in the house, so as a sixth rule, it works for about $ 3-4K per square meter." - Shawn Godwin, Architect, Base Architecture

11. HAVE A CONDITIONAL BUDGET

"Having a budget in place will allow you to monitor all your movements. Toilets are cheaper because there are so many good bathroom accessories on the market!

12. USE TECHNOLOGY ALWAYS

"The bathroom designer has a broad view of what will work and what does not work. Also, their attention to detail is at a level that most home improvement professionals will never be able to achieve. - Vanessa Cook, Bathroom Designer, Smart Bathroom.
