Why Bathroom Design is Best Left to Professionals

Bathroom design may seem straightforward – tiles, fixtures, a colour palette – but anyone who’s tackled a renovation knows it’s anything but simple. Behind the scenes of a beautifully designed bathroom lies a web of careful planning, technical knowledge, and aesthetic finesse. That’s why enlisting a professional for your bathroom interior design isn’t just a luxury – it’s often a necessity.

Function Meets Form

Bathrooms are high – functioning spaces. Every square foot needs to serve a purpose, from optimal storage to lighting that complements both grooming and ambiance. Professionals know how to balance form with function, ensuring your bathroom doesn’t just look good but works well too. They consider details the average person might overlook – like ventilation placement, moisture-resistant materials, and the ideal height for vanities and mirrors.

Maximising Small Spaces

Most bathrooms aren’t huge. Making the most of a small space without compromising on style is a skill in itself. A professional designer can reconfigure layouts, suggest space – saving solutions, and bring in design tricks that visually enlarge the room. They understand how to use mirrors, lighting, and lines to open up even the tiniest bath.

Plumbing and Electrical Realities

A dreamy Pinterest board won’t prepare you for the realities of plumbing and electrical work. Move a sink, and you’re into pipe re -routing. Add a backlit mirror, and you’ll need rewiring. Professionals collaborate with contractors and engineers to ensure everything runs safely and legally. A good designer speaks the language of builders and can foresee issues before they become expensive problems.

Material Matters

A professional knows which materials hold up under daily steam, spills, and scrubbing. They’ll guide you toward tiles that resist mould, countertops that won’t stain, and paints that won’t peel in humidity. They also have access to high – quality and often trade – only options you might not find in standard showrooms.

Cost Efficiency Through Expertise

It may seem counterintuitive, but hiring a professional can actually save you money. Designers help you avoid costly mistakes – like purchasing ill – fitting vanities or installing lighting that doesn’t suit the space. They also know where to splurge and where to save, stretching your budget without sacrificing style.

A Cohesive, Personalised Look

Designers bring cohesion to your vision. While DIY attempts often lead to mismatched styles or underwhelming results, a professional designer ties everything together seamlessly. They listen to your preferences and lifestyle needs, translating them into a space that feels both personal and polished.


In short, a well – designed bathroom is more than a weekend project. It’s a blend of engineering, artistry, and insider know – how. So if you’re dreaming of a bathroom that’s both beautiful and built to last, leave it to the pros – you’ll thank yourself every time you step inside.

Mavericks Wave Situated in Trevaunance Cove a com Mavericks Wave

Situated in Trevaunance Cove a complete refurbishment to update this tired apartment was undertaken. Designed and managed by Studio Far West and built by @warvena_construction.

We began by transforming the layout maximising the offering by creating 4 bedrooms with one master ensuite, kitchen, pantry, family bathroom and large sea view lounge.

Planning permission was obtained to create a Seaview window in the lounge and for installation of an air source heat pump updating with a modern heating system. Kitted out with underfloor heating and finished to a high specification.

Here the lounge provides amble seating for family and friends with feature tiled fireplace.
