(NUI) - Today's bathroom should be a place to relax after a long day, put on your face for the day, and take care of a multitude of grooming and hygiene needs.

Considering how much time you spend in this room, it's important to give careful thought to how you use this room.

Many homeowners find that planning a new home or improving even a single room can be a bit daunting. But, it is manageable and well worth it - if you do your homework and follow these bath design tips.

* Measure the bathroom. The first step to a beautiful, functional bathroom begins with carefully measuring the overall dimensions of your space and marking them on a scale drawing.

* Decide on the design. What constitutes great design? It's more than making rooms look fabulous or translating someone's idea of style. Good design enhances the quality of your life. It uses a range of design details to please your sense of touch and space while maintaining functionality in the rooms.

Available at The Home Depot, one popular English country design option is the Leighton ensemble from Kohler Co., which delivers the traditional styling that most homeowners prefer.

* Consider ergonomics. The Leighton ensemble was designed with ergonomics in mind. The Leighton toilet is the height of an average sitting chair, making it easier to stand up from the seat. Plus, the coordinating pedestal sink is the height of standard kitchen counters so the user doesn't have to bend over as much to use the sink.

* Look for hidden storage. If you are looking for storage opportunities, the coordinating Leighton mirrored cabinet provides hidden storage for smaller bath and powder room spaces. For more information on bathroom remodeling, go to www.kohler.com.
