The clever selection of products, coupled with sound advice from a plumbing expert, is the key to a successful bathroom renovation especially when space is at a premium.

Transforming a small, traditional bathroom into a cosy retreat without making structural modifications can sometimes prove a challenge. Bathroomware manufacturer Kohler has some simple and effective design tips to help youachieve a functional, visually pleasing and code-compliant renovation.

The company's bathroom suites are designed to create a unified look. To maximise, and create the illusion of space, Kohler recommends the Odeon suite. Its gentle curves and oval forms offer an uncluttered, functional plumbing solution to bathroom renovation.

The compact, elongated Odeon toilet suite has a space-saving in-wall cistern. It also features a dual-button flush control that allows you to select either a 6-litre or 3-litre flush option for increased water savings. The Odeon toilet is available with a matching bidet and pedestal basin.

Many traditional bathroom designs have a vanity with a built-in sink. However, by opting instead for a pedestal basin, you can create a sleeker, roomier look, especially when it is combined with wall-mounted cabinetry, which leaves the floor and lower walls clear.

Creating adequate room for bathing often means homeowners are obliged to make major structural changes. But many other options exist that don't require the removal of walls.

For example, the durable acrylic Duo rectangular bath by Englefield features combined bath and shower functionality for optimum space saving.

The Duo's wide, square-shaped shower area has a safe, non-slip surface, while sculptured back and armrests ensure added bathing comfort. A high tiling bead allows for easy installation of walls or tiles to complement your bathroom decor.

Available in two sizes, the Duo bath can be teamed with the Valencia swing glass screen. Unlike a shower curtain or an opaque screen, the Valencia swing glass screen acts to visually enlarge the space, while also creating a more clean-lined, modern aesthetic.

Kohler and Englefield products are available from selected distributors nationwide. For further information, phone 1300 326 284 or visit the following websites: www.kohler.com.au or www.Trendsideas.com.
