Like the kitchen, this room is one of the hardest to renovate. Because of the restrictions imposed by the plumbing system, the frequent lack of openings to the outside and the limited surface area, the stakes are not just aesthetic.

More than anywhere else, the functional must be considered as much as the beautiful. Install a vintage clawfoot bathtub, yes! But is there room for a shower for everyday use? A double sink is ideal for couples, but will there be enough storage space left?

Unlike other rooms in the home where decorating can be done over time, the bathroom must be thought out and designed before any work begins.

That’s where HomeByMe enters the picture! Thanks to this interactive 3D planner, you will be able to design a bathroom online and test all your ideas – even the craziest ones – before buying anything.

Whether it’s a total renovation with a change of water installations, an extension of the room, or something else, HomeByMe will help you visualize everything. Or maybe you’re planning a simple decorating refresh? With our 3D planner, you can test, add, remove, and move all the big brand (or generic!) objects and different types of furniture endlessly. That is, until you’ve designed or updated the perfect bathroom.

Start designing a 3D bathroom

With HomeByMe, it’s easy to design a bathroom online in the blink of an eye! You don’t have to be a professional to plan your bathroom remodel. We explain the main steps to design your 3D project easily, from layout planning to furniture placement and adding the decorating touches.

First things first: create a bathroom plan

Start by designing the layout of your bathroom, otherwise known as its foundations. This includes the walls, doors, and windows, as well as any other architectural elements that make up the structure of the room. A carefully designed layout helps ensure that the fixtures are functional, the space is comfortable, and you have enough room to move.

To do this in our 3D planner, access the toolbar at the top left of the screen. Click on the first “Floor Plan” icon to reveal the drop-down menu. Select “Add Wall”, and you will be automatically redirected to a 2D version of your plan.

Choose the thickness of your walls, then use your cursor – transformed into a pencil – to draw your walls, the measurements will be displayed as you go along. If this seems time-consuming or complex, you can choose to create your plan according to pre-defined rooms.

Choose a shape, fill in the desired dimensions, then insert it directly into your project. This feature is great and intuitive if you’re starting from scratch or want to experiment in designing different bathroom shapes, such as square or L-shaped. Once the walls have been created, all you have to do is add the doors and windows. To do this, click on the “Products” icon in your navigation bar, then on “Build” in the drop-down menu.

You will have a multitude of choices for your doors and windows, enough to reproduce the bathroom in question:

Swinging, patio, garage or sliding doors
Single, double or sliding windows
French windows or roof windows

It’s all there!

Finish integrating the basics of your project by adding all the essential amenities of a bathroom: electrical installation, heating and air conditioning, plumbing or other, everything is in the “Technical equipment” section of the “Build” tab.

Tip: Make sure you plan around existing systems if you’re just renovating your bathroom. That way, you can avoid costly rework and ensure that the entire process goes smoothly.

How to install the floor and wall covering of a bathroom

The next step, and not the least, is to choose and add the floor covering. Go to the “Decorate” tab in the “Products” section to start.
There you will find a wide selection of designs and materials to choose the ideal floor and wall covering for this room:

Tiles (wall and floor), most commonly used for bathrooms
Mosaic
Concrete and bricks
Natural stone
Parquet flooring
Carpeting
Vinyl, resistant to water, it can be considered for a bathroom
Paint, wallpaper and paneling

Each material comes in various colors, textures, and patterns (when applicable) to match your desired style. Of course, you can preview how each finish looks in your space directly in 3D, helping you visualize the final result more accurately before you make a decision.

Just click on the material of your choice to access the large catalog available.

Add furniture to a bathroom in a few clicks

Now that your room is complete, all you need to do is furnish it. Let’s start with the most important equipment, i.e., the shower/tub, the sink, and the potential toilet. Go to the “Bathroom” category, located in the “Furniture” section of the “Products” tab. Everything is there to make this bathroom complete: from faucets to mirrors, from storage furniture to towel racks.

You can arrange and reposition each item with just a few clicks, making it easy and intuitive to test different configurations and arrangements until the layout feels right. Make sure you leave enough clearance for safe movement and access, especially around doors and fixtures.

If you have a particular style in mind, or a favorite brand, feel free to use the filters on the left side of your screen. Among other things, you can filter this catalog of content by style, material, color, and brand.
