Modernise your bathroom with a walk in shower

Friday, March 12th, 2010

A walk in shower enclosure is the perfect choice if you are looking to modernise and create a contemporary and stylish look in your bathroom. If you have an existing bath that you would like to replace then a walk in shower would be the perfect option, as the enclosure is the same size as a standard bath at 1700mm in length. The walk in shower enclosures are also available in a length of 1400mm, ideal for if you have a smaller space.

There are two main styles of walk in shower enclosures that you can chose from: the square design walk in or the curved design walk in, which features contemporary curves for a designer look. They can be fitted with either a side panel (available in 3 sizes – 700, 800, and 900mm) or within a recess.

Top Ideas for a Small Bathroom

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

For a small bathroom, you may have to consider your choice of colour carefully, as this is going to have an impact upon the feeling of space within the room. The natural light that comes into a smaller room is likely to be limited, and so steps will have to be taken to make the room appear bright and spacious. Try using lighter tones and colours to give the appearance of space. Using blinds instead of curtains will increase the light within the room, whilst maintaining your privacy. If using artificial lighting, down lights can be used to give a personal touch to the bathroom, while spotlights will brighten the whole room and make it much brighter, without adding clutter. The use of  mirrors will help make the room appear larger through the reflection of natural light.

The use of a sleek and compact bathroom suite, where the pipes can be hidden away from sight can make a big difference in a small bathroom. Remember that while ornate fixtures may look good in a showroom, they are probably to be avoided in small bathrooms, as they can be overpowering. Simple patterns will provide clean, crisp lines that will give a spacious feel.

Top Ideas for a Big Bathroom

Monday, March 8th, 2010

If you are lucky enough to have a big bathroom, it does not mean that any less planning is required. You still need to take into account the position of the plumbing fixtures, whilst maintaining a big enough space around each of your fittings. Keep things in mind such as having a space to store towels near your bath so that you do not have to walk across the bathroom when you get out of the tub. Grouping fixtures together will allow you to use the extra space created for additional relaxation areas, or for space to install fitted cabinets and other storage areas.
When thinking about storage or furniture, you do not have to be bound by the constraints of fitted furniture cabinets, but instead experiment with more unusual ideas. Such as making use of freestanding cupboards for towels, or have a bigger cabinet in which to keep any toiletries. You could even make use of a moveable storage unit, which provides convenience without clutter. Having extra space means there is more scope for extending the use of a big bathroom. Think about installing a dressing table and mirror, or additional relaxation/exercise equipment to truly personalise your space.
