The bathroom should be a place in which you can feel at peace and relax. In a lot of homes, it seems that the original designers squeezed the bathroom into the smallest possible space - as if they considered it a necessary evil. Very often the bathroom can be the coldest and bleakest room in the home - especially in the depths of winter.

There are three stages to planning a kitchen:

* Measuring up and noting the position of the existing services, windows and doors.
* Working out the plan to get the appliances, work tops and cupboards where you want them.
* Deciding on any changes to the services (electricity, water, drains) you need.
