What Is Bathroom Design?

Bathroom design is the planning and creative process that shapes every decision made during a bathroom remodel or new construction project. It encompasses everything from how the room is organized and how plumbing is routed to picking out tile, countertops, and cabinetry. Consider it as the foundation for your entire bathroom project.
