1. Plan the Layout First
Decide the positions of the WC, basin, shower and storage before choosing finishes. Moving plumbing is costly, so keep fixtures in their existing locations if possible.
2. Don't Skip Waterproofing
Waterproof the floor and shower walls before tiling or stone installation. Poor waterproofing leads to damp walls, peeling paint and damage to rooms below — a common problem in multi-storey homes.
3. Ensure Good Ventilation
An exhaust fan or window prevents humidity, mould and mildew — especially important during monsoon months.
4. Choose the Right Floor
- Honed or leathered granite — slip-resistant and durable.
- Honed marble — elegant and cool.
- Porcelain tiles — waterproof and low-maintenance.
- Avoid polished stone in wet areas.
5. Choose the Right Walls
- Marble — Ziarat White, Botticino or Cream Marfil for luxury.
- Large-format porcelain — seamless and waterproof.
- Backlit onyx feature wall — a stunning statement.
6. Choose the Right Vanity
- Quartz — non-porous, no sealing, easy cleaning.
- Granite — durable and heat-resistant against hair tools.
- Marble — luxurious; seal and use pH-neutral cleaners.
7. Plan Storage
Vanity cabinets, recessed niches, mirror cabinets and shelves keep counters clear.
8. Lighting
Combine overhead lighting with mirror lights for grooming. LED strips under floating vanities add ambience.
9. Fixtures
Choose quality taps and shower mixers; cheap fittings leak and rust, damaging stone.
10. Budget Wisely
Spend on waterproofing, plumbing and fixtures first — they are hardest to change later. Use economical local stone for large areas and premium stone for focal points.
11. Think About Safety
Rounded vanity edges, slip-resistant floors and grab bars for elderly family members.
12. Maintenance
Seal natural stone, re-caulk joints regularly and avoid acidic bathroom cleaners on marble.
