So let’s take a look at the 5 best free design apps that will help you design a new bathroom that you won’t be moaning about 2 weeks after installation. Gone are the days of pencil and paper, now there’s an app for everything – I really do mean everything, so there’s no reason why you can’t design your bathroom before you commit. Lesson learned? Hell yes, be smart and don’t let your bank balance take a hit…it was painful.

Second time around (I shamefully admit I moaned so much it was only 2 years later), we had our bathroom re-designed, and honestly side by side the two bathroom designs were like night and day. Not seeing what everything would look like together was a huge disadvantage. I pressed on, and despite carefully choosing each product individually (and shelling out a small fortune), I have to admit I hated that bathroom. I spent weeks deciding on every detail, but honestly I couldn’t fully visualise what it would really look like once everything was fully installed.ĭoes this resonate with you? Well let me tell you a very sad story, don’t worry though it has a happy ending….well sort of. I remember when I bought my first home, I was so excited to redo the bathroom.
