1. Ensure you are fully informed: Permission may have to be obtained from the authorities for conversion work in the attic. The load capacity of the floor, the statics and the insulation have to be checked and verified.
2. Calculate the space in the attic: When planning, it is important to know the exact details of the available space. You cannot afford to go by the floor plan alone; you also have to cater for the roof pitch.
3. Determine your budget: A bathroom in the attic usually comes with a high price tag because you tend to need special furniture or a special design. Depending on the circumstances, you could well be missing supply and drainage systems, insulation or light sources.
4. List exactly what you need in terms of bathroom equipment: What is a necessity – and what can you do without (because there is not enough space)? A list of all requirements and wishes will help you keep track of everything.
5. Knowing your own needs: Nobody wants to bump their head while taking a shower or be annoyed on the lower floors about poorly insulated water pipes. Attractive or cheap products are worthless if they are not practical.
6. Investigate the wide range of products and installation options: You can draw deliberate attention to the roof pitch. Take inspiration from a whole range of ideas for designing bathrooms with a roof pitch and be advised by the experts.
