First things first, grab your tape measure! You’ll want to map out the exact length and width of your space, marking where fixtures and fittings will go. Doing this to scale is essential – it helps you understand how everything will fit together without any nasty surprises later on. Not sure about product sizes? The Blue Space has plenty of info to guide you.
For inspiration, check out the layout plan we used for the bathroom at Carrajung Estate. Starting with the right measurements ensures your layout will work seamlessly.

Now, here’s the fun part – finding your inspiration! We recommend choosing three images that really capture your design style. Doing this helps you spot patterns and preferences that will guide the rest of your choices.
Once you’ve settled on your theme, you’ll start to see how everything falls into place.

Moodboards are a brilliant way to visualise how your bathroom will come together. Use a tool like Style Source Book to layer tiles, fittings, and colours so you can see how different elements interact before you commit.
Check out the moodboard we created for the Carrajung Estate bathroom using products from The Blue Space. It really helped us nail down the look and feel before we started ordering.

Never skip the samples! Seeing products online is great, but lighting and space can drastically change how materials look in real life. Whether it’s tiles, paint, or even tapware, order samplesand check them out in your space. This way, you’ll know everything works together before making the final call.

It’s time to figure out how much of everything you need. Fortiles, it’s a good idea to order about 20% extra to cover any wastage or mistakes. Simply multiply the length by the width of your room, then add that extra 20% – better to have a little left over than come up short.
