Each room in your home offers up challenges when you come to remodel and renovate. Each room whether it be the kitchen, the bedroom, the living room or the bathroom have their own little hurdles that you have to overcome to get the room to look as smart as you possibly can. Usually these little tasks present themselves as the finishing touches that need to be completed to make the room look perfect. One job that should be considered when remodelling your bathroom is how you should conceal the unsightly pipe work, of which there is plenty in the bathroom.

Depending which floor your bathroom is on hiding pipe work can be a fairly simple task. If your bathroom is on the first floor of your home the pipe work may enter the room at a different point to where the bathroom fixtures are. If this is the case in your bathroom you should consider running the pipe work around the perimeter of the room and concealing it with trunking or skirting boards. This is a particularly neat way of hiding ugly pipe work.

If your bathroom is on the second floor of your home you can run most of the pipe work under the floor and only bring it to the surface at the point where it is needed at the fixture. Pipe work will generally be hidden when running to a bath but it will be visible when running to a basin. In this instance the offending pipe work is best hidden by a basin pedestal.
