What do you need to know before you buy a new bath? Jonathan Carter, marketing director for luxury manufacturer Victoria+Albert baths, outlines the essentials: “Before you start planning your space, consider how your bathroom will be used and the style you’re aiming to create. Understand your bathroom’s purpose.” “Consider matching your bath and basin. Fixtures that naturally complement each other create a clean and balanced space.” “While aesthetics are important, you need to consider practicality and opt for purchases that maximise the room’s space. Contrary to popular belief, a freestanding bath opens up the wall and floor, creating a sense of light and space.” “Online browsing undeniably plays a huge role in the interiors world, but nothing can beat viewing a product in the showroom. It’s really important to speak to an expert about different materials and finishes.” vandabaths.com/aus
