New Bathroom Ideas/Tips

I'd definitely agree that a towel radiator isn't enough to heat the bathroom especially at this time of the year.

Would second visiting showrooms such as CP Hart as recommended by my builder who then sourced chosen range elsewhere at discount.
Be careful of placement of downlights to avoid shower head casting a shadow, illuminated mirrors are good for night time visits without harsh overhead light.
Heated towel rails should be seperate from central heating to be of use in summer

You can have “dual fuel” towel rails, they have an electric element as well as being connected to the CH.   They can then be operated via a timer so as not to use too much electricity.

Just don't put sink taps on a bath, they take forever to fill the bath. They're also fitted too close to the wall so you skin your knuckles using them. Not our installation errors, there when we moved in ...

I definitely recommend wall hung toilets. I have 4 sons - nothing in this world could make me go back to floor standing toilets 🤣

I always wonder how they cope with excess weight? It would be a disaster if they came away from the wall.

OP - I don't envy you the time spend looking for bathroom fittings and tiles. Having done 3 bathrooms and a cloakroom I am pleased with what I have and even more pleased that I don't have to waste any more weekends looking for tiles I like!
