Traditionally, tiles have been a bathroom staple. Relatively cheap to buy and available in a large range of styles and colours, it is easy to understand why tiles are popular. But, are they the best option for your bathroom and could wall panels be a better alternative? Let’s kick off with a little disclaimer. There isn’t actually a right or...

Often when we get home from work or a long day, we like nothing better than to indulge in a nice hot shower. Now while we are not saying that your dog wants to unwind in the shower, most dog owners would agree that that their pooch is a much-loved member of the family. It is also a fact that dogs get...

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...

Still, a new year does feel like it needs to be properly marked in some way; redecorating or renovating a room in the home is a common reaction. And why not, after all? Why Not Update...

Unit so vain, you probably think this blog is about you We call them vanity units because they hide the plumbing, and the idea was that this preserves the homeowners’ ‘vanity’ – which seems odd, from a modern perspective. But the name has stuck. It’s an unwritten rule that where plumbing is concerned, it should be hidden. Most baths are...

One of the things that means bathrooms stay the same, unchanged, year on year is the pervasive belief that if you can’t completely redo them, there’s nothing really that makes sense to do. So far, so good – if it were true. Of course, it’s not; these rules of thumb so rarely are, especially those which double as an argument...

Hardly a traditional fixture in bathrooms at this stage, the heated towel rail is nonetheless an item that those who’ve tried them absolutely swear by and pledge that they wouldn’t live without again. And why not? Especially in this day and age of modern central heating, not every bathroom has a radiator, and even in those that do, the towel...

The bathroom is one of the most private rooms in the house, and it should also be the most comfortable.

However, if you’re not happy with your bathroom, and you’re not entirely sure why, you might not need a...

It’s easy to think of the UK style of bathroom as being the only one around, but, as with anything, there’s actually a lot of variation. The modern version of the British bathroom really started to come into fashion in the late 19th century, the Victorian era, and while it’s inspired bathrooms around the world, there are still many differences...

1. Subtle But Contrasting Colours The beauty of this bathroom is in its colour scheme. Overall, the grey gives it a subdued effect, compared to the pristine white of many bathrooms, but still benefits from the contrasting black on the glass frames and the sink. This allows the bathroom to be a little dirty on occasion, and not too shocking...

Walk in showers are all the rage these days, gaining popularity due to their ease of access and being a perfect addition to the modern style of a minimalist bathroom aesthetic. Depending on the size and shape of your bathroom, there are plenty of different options for you to choose from. Two-Sided In a large and spacious bathroom, a two-sided walk in shower enclosure might be your preferred option, allowing you to easily designate a shower area without having to use a full enclosure. The two-sided style of enclosure usually uses two panels to create a corner, with one stopping water from splashing out at the side, and one to stop it splashing out of the back. The entrance to this shower is the gap in the corner where the two panels don't meet, where water is least likely to escape the enclosure. This is perhaps the style of walk in shower most similar to 'traditional' showers, being still largely an enclosure, but if you make use of clear, frameless panels, you will still be able to create an effect of spaciousness in your bathroom.
