The net will help you find the materials, techniques, advice and
inspiration you need to transform your bathroom.
It's great because you can get help from the experts, avoid making mistakes
as you learn, and see what other people are up to.
If you aren't sure how to strip paint from a wall, you don't have to phone a friend
- the BBC's own Handy Andy is there to help!
Inspiration
If you're stuck for ideas then there are lots of places to look on
the web. If you're used to flicking through magazines for your
ideas then why not do the same online?
Most major mags now have a website. There are also lots of sites put up by the DIY stores.
They hope to sell you the
paint and other materials you'll use, but you don't have to buy
from them - just get some inspiration.
BBC Homes
BBC Homes is a brilliant place to
start because the BBC has pulled together all its DIY shows into
one part of its website.
You can search through the bathroom
designs from Home Front, Changing Rooms and the rest of your
favourites, looking for a specific room you spotted on the box, or
just browsing.
Here are pictures of the rooms you'll have seen on TV, and you'll
find more details of where the ideas came from, so you can get
lots of ideas of your own.
Head off to Design Inspiration
and see what inspires you!
DIY stores
As well as selling you the stuff to fill it, the MFI website
has a selection of articles on bathrooms
and bathroom design.
Some of the ideas are a bit scary - they suggest
you ask yourself whether your bathroom is in the right place, and
consider moving it to a different room!
Have a look at Homebase too, as they also have over thirty articles on bathrooms. Look for them in their 'Ideas' section.
