5. Lighting Lighting is one of the most common items that cause budget blow-outs and there are a few factors that contribute to this. Firstly, it is rare that an electrical plan is completed at the quoting stage. Then, because most people aren’t aware of the lighting options available (and associated costs) at the time when quotes are being prepared, they don’t put enough time into considering lighting solutions. This leads to the situation where quotes are often vastly underestimated in terms of the number and type of lights. Make sure you visit a showroom in the early stages of your project to be better informed about what the builder is quoting.

I like the shower head and shower handle, the marble slab, the niche
Large, organised and elegant Material: The back of the niche is tiled in a mosaic that matches the mosaic on the floor of the shower, and the mosaic carpet on the bathroom floor. The mosaic is Carrara with a dark grey marble mini square.
considers everyone who uses the shower to factor in how much room they’ll need. In the case of siblings who share a bathroom, she tries to give each a personal niche
considers bottle sizes and overall proportion of the niche in relation to the rest of the shower. “What’s also very important to me is that there are no cut tiles, so I usually wait to decide on the final dimensions of the niche once we have the tiles on site and I work it out with the tile installer,” she says.
Hooks Hooks provide an essential service in most bathrooms. From a single hook to a whole row, they are so useful for towels, dressing gowns, bags, brushes, keeping clothes off the floor and more. They can be hung on the wall or more discreetly be tucked behind the door. It would be ideal to let your designer and builder know at the beginning so they can add suitable timber blocking behind the wall surface for the hooks to be firmly screwed into, and to hold the weight of whatever may be hung on them.
Hand towel rails Large towel rails are fixtures of most bathrooms for bath towels and mats, but don’t forget the need for small rings or rails to take hand towels. While towel rings are space efficient, it’s good to let your designer know you want these at the beginning of the design process. This will allow them some forethought as to where they can place them, while keeping the overall composition looking great.
If you have a good sized bathroom and it is difficult to create a niche within the existing walls, your builder can bring the wall forward into the space instead. This niche, created by a ledge below the mirrored cabinets has become a handy space, not only for useful storage and a display area for the bathroom that happens to have no vanity, but also creating a space for the plumbing behind the toilet and basin to be installed. If you figure this out at the beginning, it can be a great design feature.
Niches Talking to your designer and builder at the beginning means you can install these great and handy niches throughout the bathroom. Allowances need to be made in the walls to make available space for the niche, while the tiler will need to waterproof before laying the tiles. For the shower, a built-in niche to house essential products is a clean and efficient way to organise your shower (no more bending down to pick them off the floor). Talk to your interior designer or builder about how big you want this niche to be. TIP: Check the placing of the niche to fit with the tile layout for a clean and tidy finish.
In the walk-in shower, streamlined fixtures take a back seat to the deliberate drama of the pattern in the marble wall. Adjacent grey ceramic tiles also fade into the background, allowing this wall to shine.
Consider a recessed, tiled niche in the shower rather than a shelf affixed to the wall to give your shower area a more open feel.
