Design Your Dream Bathroom
You can already see the bathroom you want in your head…
Design Your Dream Bathroom is the designer-led process for homeowners who want to confidently plan a bathroom that actually feels like the vision in their head.
You can see it.
The warm lighting at night.
The stone under your fingertips.
The tapware finish you’ve saved seventeen times on Pinterest.
The feeling of walking into a bathroom that feels calm, elevated, considered… yours.
You know the look you’re drawn to.
But now the renovation is becoming real.
And suddenly the questions start coming.
The builder wants answers.
The tiler needs final selections.
The plumber is asking where the bath mixer goes.
Your partner says, “Can we just pick something?”
And somehow every decision suddenly feels expensive and permanent.
You’ve saved hundreds of inspiration images.
But nobody has shown you how to turn those ideas into an actual bathroom plan your builder can build.
Because Pinterest gives you inspiration.
It does not give you:
• layout logic
• measurements
• lighting placement
• tile set-outs
• material flow
• selection sequencing
• or the order decisions should happen in
And that’s where most bathroom renovations start to unravel.
Not because people have bad taste.
Not because they didn’t spend enough money.
But because they’re trying to make permanent decisions without a clear process.
That’s exactly why I created Design Your Dream Bathroom.
Not as a “budget” version of interior design.
But as the designer-led framework for homeowners who want to be hands-on in their renovation, while still making confident, cohesive, builder-ready decisions.

And that’s where most bathroom renovations start to unravel.
This course is for you if…
• You have a strong vision but struggle to pull everything together cohesively
• You’ve saved endless inspiration photos but still don’t know what works in your actual space
• You want your bathroom to feel elevated, intentional and timeless, not pieced together through rushed decisions
• You’re overwhelmed by the order decisions need to happen in
• You want to walk into supplier appointments feeling prepared instead of intimidated
• You want clarity before expensive choices get locked in
• You want to feel confident explaining your decisions to your builder and trades
• You care deeply about how your home feels and you don’t want your bathroom to become an expensive compromise
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!”
Savanah
What makes bathroom renovations feel so overwhelming?
It’s not just the number of decisions.
It’s that every decision affects the next one.
The vanity impacts the lighting.
The tile size affects the layout.
The niche placement changes the tile set-out.
The plumbing locations impact the cabinetry.
The lighting changes how the materials feel.
The proportions affect whether the room feels calm… or chaotic.
And when decisions happen in the wrong order, the whole renovation starts to feel reactive.
That’s when people:
• second-guess themselves
• panic-buy finishes
• feel pressured in showrooms
• rush decisions to keep trades moving
• or spend thousands fixing things they wish they’d planned earlier
This course changes that.
Hi, I’m Nikki McGar
I’m an interior designer known for creating warm, layered, personality-filled homes that feel deeply considered and beautifully lived in.
Over the years, I’ve seen the same thing happen again and again:
People don’t struggle because they lack vision.
They struggle because nobody teaches them how to turn that vision into a clear renovation plan.
This course gives you the exact framework I use with clients to guide bathroom renovations from overwhelming and scattered… to cohesive, thoughtful and beautifully resolved.

Inside Design Your Dream Bathroom, I walk you through...
The exact order bathroom decisions should happen in
So you stop making random selections and start building a cohesive plan.
Layout planning
How to think about flow, spacing, proportions, functionality and real-life use.
Tile selection & set-outs
Including how to avoid awkward layouts, mismatched finishes and expensive mistakes.
Materials & finishes
How to confidently combine stone, tiles, cabinetry, colours and tapware so everything feels intentional.
Vanity design & storage
The practical details most people don’t think about until it’s too late.
Lighting
How to create a bathroom that feels warm, calming and layered, not flat and overly clinical.
Measurements & builder-ready details
The details trades need from you before construction begins.
Real designer thinking
Not just “what looks good” but why certain choices work together and how they affect the finished result.
The goal isn’t perfection.
The goal is confidence.
Confidence walking into tile showrooms.
Confidence speaking with trades.
Confidence making decisions.
Confidence knowing your bathroom will actually come together the way you imagined it.
Because the people who end up loving their renovations most aren’t necessarily the people with the biggest budgets.
They’re the people who had clarity before they started.
Imagine this instead…
You walk into your renovation already knowing:
• the overall vision
• your material direction
• your layout priorities
• your lighting plan
• your measurements
• your selections
• and the order everything needs to happen in
No more spiralling through Pinterest at midnight.
No more changing your mind every second day.
No more feeling like everyone else knows what they’re doing except you.
Just a calm, clear process that helps you move from:
I have ideas…
to:
I know exactly what I’m creating.
Got Questions?

Yes. Measurements may need slight local adjustments, but the design principles apply anywhere.
