Often when we get home from work or a long day, we like nothing better than to indulge in a nice hot shower.

Add in Christmas and New Year holidays in December and you get some very full calendars. If you’ve had your eye on installing new fixtures...

It’s getting rarer for bathrooms not to boast a mirrored cabinet near the sink. It may be the only mirror in the place; either way, it’s likely that your cabinet serves two purposes and brings a double meaning to the phrase ‘look in the mirror’ – a quick check that you’ve wiped away all the excess shaving foam or cleaned...
