You Have The Vision. You Just Need The Plan.
You already know what this bathroom should feel like. The warm lighting at night. The stone under your fingertips. That tapware finish you’ve saved a dozen times over.
Design Your Dream Bathroom is the designer-led process that turns that vision into a plan your builder can actually build, so the finished room feels like the one in your head, not a compromise made under pressure.
The Renovation Is Moving Whether You’re Ready Or Not
The builder wants an answer. The tile shop needs your order confirmed. Your partner says, “Can we just pick something?” And you’re standing there trying to match 200 saved screenshots to the actual dimensions of your bathroom.
It’s not that you have bad taste, or that you haven’t spent enough time on this. It’s that nobody has shown you the order these decisions need to happen in, so your choices build a cohesive bathroom instead of a pieced-together one.
Pinterest gives you inspiration. It doesn’t give you layout logic, measurements, lighting placement, tile set-outs, or the order decisions should happen in. That’s where most bathroom renovations start to unravel, and that’s exactly why I created this course.
This Course Is For You If…
You’re not trying to make this renovation cheaper. You’re trying to make it right.
• You have a strong vision but need help pulling it together into one cohesive plan
• You want to walk into supplier appointments feeling prepared, not intimidated
• You want to brief your builder with confidence instead of guesswork
• You want the finished bathroom to feel intentional, not compromised through rushed decisions
• You want clarity before the expensive choices get locked in
What’s Inside
A step-by-step framework covering, in the right order:
• Layout planning, flow, spacing, proportions and real-life use
• Tile selection and set-outs (and how to avoid the expensive, mismatched mistakes)
• Materials and finishes that combine with intention, not guesswork
• Vanity design and storage
• Lighting that feels warm and layered, not clinical
• Measurements and the builder-ready details your trades will actually ask for
Not just what looks good, but why certain choices work together and how they shape the finished result.
Hi, I’m Nikki McGar
I’m an interior designer known for warm, layered, personality-filled homes. Over the years I’ve seen the same thing again and again: people don’t struggle because they lack vision, they struggle because nobody’s shown them how to turn that vision into a clear plan.
This course gives you the exact framework I use with my own clients.
What People Are Saying
“We are mid renovation and decision fatigue is setting in… Also setting in: self-doubt. Colour! Pattern! Texture! I want it all, but wasn’t certain my ideas were on the right track. Nikki helped cement my ideas and tweak things I hadn’t considered. Her knowledge and eye for detail gave me the confidence to move forward. Highly recommend!”
