2. Planning

Now it's time for your dreams and ideas to take shape. You can either design it yourself by using our bathroom planner, or have one of our bathroom experts do it all for you in-store or online. 

What to consider before planning a bathroom

  • How much space do you have available in your bathroom? Before buying a new bathroom vanity, measure how much space you have while considering any walls or fixtures that affect your available space.

  • Where is your bathroom plumbing and drainage located? This is essential to know before you start planning.

  • All storage furniture, such as tall bathroom cabinets must be fixed to the wall. Wall anchoring hardware is included when you purchase storage furniture from IKEA Canada.

Book a bathroom planning service

Bathrooms often have specific water and drainage pipes which can be tricky to plan around. Don't worry - our experienced planning specialists and IKEA design experts would love to help! For only $19/1 hour, you can book a planning service appointment from the comfort of your home. 

Our planning service appointments are available both remotely and in-store so you can choose what works best for you. Come to the appointment with measurements of your bathroom (be sure to include the location of existing plumbing and drainage) and our planning specialists will take care of the rest!
