			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shower enclosures now feature more sleeker and minimal styling than ever before and the latest designs are perfect for creating a sense of space in any bathroom. As showering has become increasingly popular, more and more people are deciding to replace an existing bath with a walk in shower enclosure. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers" target="_blank">Walk in shower enclosures</a> are ideal for those who lead a busy lifestyle and prefer the convenience that having a shower can offer over the time it can take to run a bath. A walk in shower will also add a touch of designer style to your bathroom as well as providing you with a luxurious way to shower. Big Bathroom Shop have a fantastic collection of walk in showers that will provide your bathroom with a very sleek, minimal look.</p>
<div id="attachment_6302" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers/milano-1700x800-curved-walk-in-and-panel" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6302 " title="Walk In Shower Enclosure" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/000000535200010001-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Walk In Shower Enclosure</p></div>
<p><span id="more-6294"></span>Walk in showers offer really easy access too, making them a great choice for those who are less mobile, as they feature a low level shower tray and have one end of the enclosure open to the room; meaning that you don&#8217;t have to worry about opening and closing a door. A walk in shower features plenty of showering space at one end with the opposite end used as a drying area. Walk in shower enclosures can also be fitted into a recess area or alternatively can be installed with an end panel to form a full enclosure. Walk in showers also feature a very clean, minimal design to help create a sense of space.</p>
<p>The Milano walk in shower enclosures are available with straight or curved glass, which will add a touch of glamour to your bathroom, they are also available in two sizes including <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers/milano-1400x900-curved-walk-in-and-panel" target="_blank">1400x900mm</a> and <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers/milano-1700x800-straight-walk-in-and-panel" target="_blank">1700x800mm</a>, which are great sizes for replacing an existing bath. The Milano walk in showers come complete with a low profile shower tray and if required you can choose a panel and leg set which helps to ease installation if plumbing above the floor is required.</p>
<div id="attachment_6301" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/showers/shower-valves-and-accessories/shower-heads/ultra-rialto-square-fixed-head-and-arm" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6301 " title="Fixed Shower Head" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/000000128000010001-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Fixed Shower Head</p></div>
<p>To complete the look of your walk in shower enclosure why not opt for a large drench style <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/showers/shower-valves-and-accessories/shower-heads/ultra-rialto-square-fixed-head-and-arm" target="_blank">shower head</a>? Big Bathroom Shop has a fantastic collection of fixed shower heads which are great for a totally refreshing shower.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shower trays are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes so you can be sure to discover one to perfectly fit the space you have, regardless if you have a spacious bathroom or a compact en-suite. Big Bathroom Shop have <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/shower-trays" target="_blank">shower trays</a> from all the well-known brands including Ultra, Simpsons, Phoenix, Manhattan and Balterley so you can be sure of the highest quality.</p>
<div id="attachment_6284" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/bathroom-brands/ultra/shower-tray-collection/shower-enclosures" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6284 " title="Shower Tray" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/000000822100020001.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Shower Tray</p></div>
<p><span id="more-6272"></span>Most shower trays are manufactured from acrylic or cast stone, both of these materials are very hard-wearing and long-lasting. Shower trays are also available in a variety of heights too, including an ultra-slim 40mm; this is perfect for creating a sleek, minimal look in your bathroom. There are also shower trays which feature a more obvious step, these are ideal for where plumbing above the floor is required. You can also choose from additional <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/shower-trays/legs-and-panels" target="_blank">panel and leg sets</a>, which raise the shower tray up to allow for easier installation.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/bathroom-brands/ultra/shower-tray-collection/shower-enclosures" target="_blank">Ultra Pearlstone shower trays</a> will look fantastic in any bathroom and are amongst the sleekest on the market. The Pearlstone shower trays measure just 40mm high, perfect for creating a minimal look, they are also up to 30% lighter than conventional cast stone shower trays; making them safe for both handling and fitting. The Pearlstone shower trays are acrylic capped and constructed from a polyurethane resin mixed with filler including volcanic ash. Each Pearlstone shower tray features a super flat underside, which makes installation and levelling easier than ever.</p>
<p>With the current trend for sleek, minimal bathrooms, choosing a low profile shower tray is now a more popular choice than ever, but there are a couple of issues to be aware of before opting for this style of shower tray, first make sure that your new tray is not dangerously slippery when wet and secondly a build up of water in a shallow tray can be a problem, so make sure you choose a fast flow waste for efficient drainage. The shower tray should also feature a slight slope in the direction of the waste so you aren&#8217;t standing in a puddle.</p>
<div id="attachment_6286" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/shower-trays/quadrant" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6286 " title="Quadrant Shower Tray" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/000000746900010001.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Quadrant Shower Tray</p></div>
<p>Shower trays are available in a huge range of sizes, with one of the smallest square trays measuring just 700x700mm which goes up to a 1000x1000mm. Quadrant shower trays are ideal for small bathrooms such as an en-suite, as they feature a curved front to help maximise the floor space, whilst at the same time featuring plenty of space for showering in. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/shower-trays/quadrant" target="_blank">Quadrant shower trays</a> start at 800x800mm and go up to a 1000x1000mm. Offset quadrant shower trays are also a good choice too, and feature one side longer than the other, these range in size from 900&#215;760 to a more spacious 1200x900mm.</p>
<div id="attachment_6285" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/shower-trays/walk-in/milano-1700x800-straight-walk-in-shower-tray" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6285  " title="Walk In Shower Tray" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/000000880100010001.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Walk In Shower Tray</p></div>
<p>For a more spacious bathroom rectangular shower trays are great and they provide you with a spacious showering area; these range in size from 900x760mm to a large 1700x800mm. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/shower-trays/walk-in/milano-1700x800-straight-walk-in-shower-tray" target="_blank">Walk-in shower trays</a> feature plenty of space too with one end usually being a drying area, and are great for creating a neat, minimal look in your bathroom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Designing and creating a new en-suite bathroom is a great way to free up the main family bathroom, especially on busy weekday mornings. An en-suite can even help to add extra value to your home, which is great if you ever want to sell in the future. With careful planning and close attention to detail an en-suite bathroom can be installed in the smallest of spaces and you really don&#8217;t need a lot of space to be able to install a toilet, basin and shower enclosure. Big Bathroom Shop have a fantastic variety of shower enclosures, basins and toilets that are specifically designed for small spaces so you can make the most of the available space.</p>
<div id="attachment_6235" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/bathroom-suites/en-suites/phoenix-morley-with-800-quadrant" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6235 " title="En-Suite" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/000000577100010001-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">En-Suite</p></div>
<p><span id="more-6228"></span>One of the main challenges when creating a new en-suite is deciding where best to position the toilet, basin and shower enclosure. It is important that there is enough space around each item, which will make getting ready as easy as possible. It is a good idea to choose space saving items to help maximise the available space as much as possible.</p>
<p><a title="Maximise Space With A Quadrant Shower Enclosure" href="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/index.php/2011/12/06/maximise-space-with-a-quadrant-shower-enclosure-2/" target="_blank">Quadrant shower enclosures</a> are ideal for small en-suites as they feature a curved front, which helps to create more floor space. Make sure you choose one with sliding doors so no extra room is required to allow for the doors to open. Quadrant shower enclosures are available in a choice of sizes ranging from a compact 800x800mm to a more spacious 1200x900mm offset style. Bi-fold showers doors are also great for small en-suites as the whole door folds back on itself to allow for easy access in and out of the shower.</p>
<p>Toilets with shorter projections than standard are great for creating more room, some toilets such as the <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/pottery/toilets/close-coupled-toilets/vitra-s50-compact-close-coupled-toilet-cistern-and-seat" target="_blank">Vitra S50 compact toilet</a> measure just 600mm from front to back. A wall-hung toilet is also ideal for an en-suite as it can make a small space look bigger than it really is. If your en-suite has an awkward shape think about choosing a corner toilet so you can make the most of what otherwise could be wasted space.</p>
<p>Your choice of basin will make all the difference too. A wall-mounted basin is great for freeing up floor space and there are a variety of styles and designs available for you to choose from; some even include a handy towel rail. The <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/bathroom-brands/roca/meridian-n-compact-collection/pottery" target="_blank">Roca Meridian-N compact collection</a> includes a choice of compact basins which are designed to make space saving within your bathroom easier than ever. A corner basin is ideal for an awkward shaped en-suite and will help you to make the most of the available space.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t forget to include some <a title="A Guide To Bathroom Furniture" href="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/index.php/2011/11/02/a-guide-to-bathroom-furniture/" target="_blank">storage</a> in your en-suite, if the room is full of clutter it will only make your en-suite appear even smaller. A wall-mounted vanity unit or mirrored cabinet will provide you with somewhere to store your bathroom essentials out of sight for a clean, minimal look.</p>
<p>Finally, the finishing touches such as a shower, basin tap, lighting and tiles will bring your en-suite to life. A large illuminated bathroom mirror will help to make your en-suite appear more spacious and a <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/furniture-and-accessories/towel-rails-and-radiators/heated-towel-rails/phoenix-ascot-designer-radiator-800x500" target="_blank">heated towel rail</a> will provide you with somewhere to place your towel.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When planning and designing a bathroom refurbishment make sure that you have a good idea of the look and feel that you want to create and look around for plenty of inspiring ideas too. Also, it is a good idea to look at the existing style and décor of your home and think about planning your bathroom makeover around this concept. It is really important that you accurately measure the space and think about where you want to place the bath / shower enclosure, toilet and basin. Choosing the right style of products to suit your bathroom will really make all the difference and provide you with a look that will stand the test of time.</p>
<div id="attachment_6199" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/bathroom-suites/bathroom-suites/laufen-form-300-bathroom-suite" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6199 " title="Laufen Form Bathroom Suite" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/000000585800010001-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Laufen Form Bathroom Suite</p></div>
<p><span id="more-6188"></span>If you have a bathroom with plenty of space it is a good idea to install a separate bath and shower enclosure as this will provide a more streamlined look to your bathroom, plus everyone&#8217;s needs will be met too. Double-ended baths are great for a new bathroom as they feature plenty of bathing space and as the taps are in the centre it means you can bathe at whichever end you wish without the bath taps gettting in the way. A luxurious <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/baths/freestanding-baths" target="_blank">freestanding bath</a> will also look fantastic in a spacious bathroom and will add some wow factor. Double basins are a great idea too, especially for a busy family bathroom and will make getting ready much easier on busy weekday mornings.</p>
<p>For those who have a bathroom with limited space there are plenty of space saving products available for you to choose from. Wall-hung basins and toilets are ideal for small bathrooms as they provide the illusion of more floor space and make cleaning easier too. Also, look out for <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/pottery/toilets/close-coupled-toilets/vitra-s50-compact-close-coupled-toilet-cistern-and-seat" target="_blank">toilets with a shorter projection</a> than standard as they will help to create more floor space. If you don&#8217;t have enough space for a separate bath and shower enclosure and don&#8217;t want to compromise on having to choose between the two, then consider opting for a shower bath. A <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/baths/shower-baths/milano-showerbath-1700-rh-noth-with-front-panel-and-screen" target="_blank">shower bath</a> features a clever design that allows you to combine bathing and showering in the same space; choose from the p-shape design or the more contemporary square version.</p>
<div id="attachment_6200" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/bathroom-brands/bauhaus/design-collection/furniture-and-accessories" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6200 " title="Bathroom Furniture" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/000000406000130003.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bathroom Furniture</p></div>
<p>Including some storage in your bathroom is a great way to create a neat, clutter free look. Think about choosing a wall-mounted vanity unit to create a very modern look and so you can store your bathroom essentials out of sight. Opting for <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/furniture-and-accessories/modular-furniture" target="_blank">bathroom furniture</a> is also a great way to introduce some texture and colour into your bathroom. The final details such as taps, a heated towel rail and some stylish <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/furniture-and-accessories/bathroom-accessories" target="_blank">accessories</a> will really help to complete the look of your new bathroom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Creating and designing a bathroom that meets the needs of your family can be a challenging experience, but with careful thought and planning you can create a bathroom that suits you and your family perfectly. Before buying any new products take into consideration the overall shape and size of the bathroom and think about how many of you use the space and how you use it, this way you can create a bathroom that makes the best use of space. If you are a family with young children including a bath is a definite must and if you have enough space install a separate shower enclosure too.</p>
<div id="attachment_6045" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/bathroom-suites/furniture-suites/phoenix-morley-furniture-bathroom-suite" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6045 " title="Bathroom Suite with Furniture" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/000000593000010001.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bathroom Suite with Furniture</p></div>
<p><span id="more-6039"></span>Baths are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes but the double-ended style is becoming an increasingly popular choice for a family bathroom. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/baths/acrylic-baths/phoenix-1700x750-rectangularo-double-ended-bath" target="_blank">Double-ended baths</a> feature plenty of bathing space and have the bath taps installed in the centre of the bath, which allows you to have a relaxing soak at either end and you can also wash two kids at the same time more easily.</p>
<div id="attachment_6046" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers/milano-1700x800-straight-walk-in-and-panel" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6046 " title="Walk In Shower Enclosure" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/000000534600020001.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Walk In Shower Enclosure</p></div>
<p>If your bathroom has plenty of space installing a shower enclosure is a far better option than having a shower over the bath. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers/milano-1700x800-straight-walk-in-and-panel" target="_blank">Walk in shower enclosures</a> are perfect for family bathrooms as they are really easy to access and they feature a spacious showering area too. Walk in showers come in a range of sizes and can be installed into a recess area or can be used with a side panel. Even creating a wetroom style shower area is a great idea too for a family bathroom as you can make the shower area to whatever size you require as you are not restricted to the size of a shower tray, plus they offer easy accessibility making them ideal for someone who is less able-bodied. A wetroom glass screen will protect everything in your bathroom from getting splashed with water.</p>
<p>Storage is an essential part of any family bathroom and will help you to be better organised, so make sure you include some <a href="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/index.php/2011/11/02/a-guide-to-bathroom-furniture/" target="_blank">bathroom furniture</a> for a more streamlined look. Bathroom storage is available in a huge choice of styles, sizes and designs so not only will you find the perfect fit but create the exact look that you require. Vanity units that feature an integrated basin and storage underneath are perfect and will make sure that all your essentials are close to hand. If you have enough space why not install a vanity unit with double basins, which means no more fighting over who gets to use the basin on busy weekday mornings. Most bathroom furniture ranges include co-ordinating drawer units and even tall storage units so you can keep spare towels and toiletries out of sight for an organised family bathroom.</p>
<p>When choosing a shower ensure that it has thermostatic controls so the whole family can shower in safety. Bath shower mixers are ideal for use with a bath as they feature a shower head on a flexible hose, this allows you to easily rinse kids hair and around the bath afterwards. To prevent water from the bath taps getting too hot make sure you install an <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/taps-and-wastes/bath-taps/thermostatic-safety-bath-taps/ultra-under-bath-thermostat-tmv3" target="_blank">underbath thermostat</a> which has been TMV3 approved, this will ensure that the water is maintained at a safe bathing temperature and greatly reduces the risk of scalding. Basin and bath taps with a lever handle are easy to operate and will provide a sleek, modern look to your family bathroom too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Big Bathroom Shop has a fantastic choice of <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures" target="_blank">shower enclosures</a> in a wide variety of styles to suit every size of bathroom regardless if you have a small en-suite or a bathroom with plenty of space. Showering is now more popular than ever due to people leading busier lifestyles and there are now a huge variety of shower enclosure styles available than ever before, including quadrant showers, walk-in showers to sliding doors and bi-fold doors.</p>
<div id="attachment_6023" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers/aqualux-aquaspace-walk-in-1400-x-800mm" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6023 " title="Walk In Shower" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/000000063500010001-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Walk In Shower</p></div>
<p><span id="more-6011"></span>A walk-in shower enclosure is the ideal option for replacing an existing bath that is rarely used and is perfect for those who have a busy lifestyle. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers" target="_blank">Walk-in shower enclosures</a> provide a really convenient way to shower as they are easy to access and feature one end which is open to the room with the opposite end being a spacious showering area. Walk-in shower enclosures also come complete with a low profile shower tray to create a minimal look to your bathroom. Walk in showers are available with straight or curved glass which has an almost frameless design to provide a very sleek look.</p>
<div id="attachment_6026" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/wetroom-glass-panels-and-kits/simpson-design-900mm-semi-frameless-walk-in-panel" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6026 " title="Wet Room Glass Panel" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/000000894100010001.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Wet Room Glass Panel</p></div>
<p>For the ultimate in minimal styling a <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/wetroom-glass-panels-and-kits/milano-800-wetroom-panel-and-support-bar" target="_blank">wetroom glass panel</a> is perfect. Creating a wetroom style area allows you to create the shower area to whichever size you require as you are not restricted to the size of a shower tray. Installing a wetroom glass panel protects everything in the bathroom from getting covered in water every time you have a shower and will also provide a very sleek look.</p>
<div id="attachment_6027" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/quadrant-enclosures/ultra-pacific-900mm-quadrant-enclosure" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6027 " title="Quadrant Shower Enclosure" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/000000876600010001.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Quadrant Shower Enclosure</p></div>
<p>Quadrant shower enclosures are the best choice for small bathrooms as they feature a curved front which mazimises the floor space. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/quadrant-enclosures" target="_blank">Quadrant shower enclosures</a> are available in a range of sizes including 800x800mm, 900x900mm and 1000x1000mm. Offset quadrant shower enclosures feature one side longer than the other and include 1200x800mm and 1200x900mm sizes. Most quadrant enclosures have sliding doors, which are great for a small bathroom as you don&#8217;t need to make sure there is enough room to allow for the doors to open outwards.</p>
<div id="attachment_6028" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/bi-fold-doors/ultra-pacific-760-bi-fold-door" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6028 " title="Bi Fold Shower Door" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/000000826400010001.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Bi Fold Shower Door</p></div>
<p>Bi-fold shower doors are also ideal for small bathrooms as the whole of the door folds back on itself, which not only saves space but allows for easy access. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/bi-fold-doors" target="_blank">Bi-fold shower doors</a> come in a variety of sizes so you can be sure to find one to perfectly fit the space you have, they can also be installed with a side panel or into a recess area.</p>
<div id="attachment_6029" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/sliding-shower-doors/phoenix-1400-frameless-single-slider" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-6029 " title="Sliding Shower Door " src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/000000847000010001-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sliding Shower Door</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/sliding-shower-doors" target="_blank">Sliding shower doors</a> create a streamlined look and you don&#8217;t require any extra room to allow for the doors to open. A sliding shower door has two panels of glass with one sliding back into other which provides easy access in and out of the shower.</p>
<div id="attachment_6030" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 254px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/pivot-shower-doors/manhattan-800mm-pivot-door" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6030 " title="Pivot Shower Door" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/000000914200010001.jpg" alt="" width="244" height="244" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pivot Shower Door</p></div>
<p><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/pivot-shower-doors" target="_blank">Pivot shower doors</a> are great for providing a neat finish to your bathroom, make sure you opt for a semi-frameless design for a more minimal look. Also, ensure that there is plenty of space to allow the door to fully open so you can easily get in and out of the shower.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Refurbishing an existing bathroom is a fantastic way to add extra value to your home, which is great if you ever look to sell in the future. A bathroom which is carefully thought out and designed well, can help to increase the sale price of your house and will create an attractive selling point to any potential buyers.</p>
<div id="attachment_5739" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/bathroom-suites/bathroom-suites/laufen-pro-b-bathroom-suite" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5739 " title="Laufen Pro B Bathroom Suite" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/000000587700010002-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Laufen Pro B Bathroom Suite</p></div>
<p><span id="more-5718"></span>With good attention to detail and careful planning all shapes and sizes of bathrooms can be transformed into a stunning space where you can unwind and relax after a long day. When planning your bathroom refurbishment make sure you plan well in advance the kind of look and feel that you want to create in your bathroom. It is important that you accurately measure the space and decide what you want to include in the bathroom; is there enough room to install a separate bath and shower enclosure or is there only enough space for just a bath or a shower? Also think about the layout too and where best to position the bath or shower, toilet and basin, so you can make the best use of the available space.</p>
<p>If you have a spacious bathroom it is always a good idea to install a separate bath and shower enclosure, including a bath is always attractive to any potential buyers, especially families with young children. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/baths/acrylic-baths/phoenix-1700x750-rectangularo-double-ended-bath" target="_blank">Double-ended baths</a> are a great choice, they feature plenty of bathing space and washing two kids at once will be much easier as the bath taps are located in the centre, which also means that you can comfortably bathe at either end. When choosing a shower enclosure there are a wide variety of styles available ranging from quadrant enclosures, bi-fold doors to sliding doors and walk-in showers. A <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers/milano-1700x800-straight-walk-in-and-panel" target="_blank">walk-in shower</a> is the perfect choice for adding some designer style to your new bathroom and they offer a really convenient showering solution.</p>
<p>For a smaller bathroom decide if you want to include a bath or a shower enclosure, if possible think about gaining extra space from an adjoining room so you have more to play with. If you want to include a bath there are a variety of <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/baths/small-baths" target="_blank">compact baths</a> available that measure just 1500mm in length, these range from straight acrylic and steel baths, corner baths and even a <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/baths/shower-baths/milano-showerbath-1500-rh-noth-with-front-panel-and-screen" target="_blank">shower bath</a> so you don&#8217;t have to compromise on having to choose between having a bath or a shower. If you prefer to include a shower, <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/quadrant-enclosures" target="_blank">quadrant shower enclosures</a> are perfect for maximising the floor space. Installing a walk-in shower or creating a wet-room will provide a sleek, minimal feel and help to open the space up.</p>
<p>Choosing the right style of toilet and basin to fit in with your refurbishment is also another important factor to get right. Wall-hung pottery is great for creating more floor space and will provide the illusion of more room, perfect for bathrooms with limited space. For a spacious bathroom consider installing double basins for a feeling of luxury. Storage is important too and now forms an essential part of any new bathroom. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/furniture-and-accessories/modular-furniture" target="_blank">Bathroom furniture</a> is available in a wide range of styles including vanity units, cabinets and tall storage units so you have somewhere to store your toiletries out of sight for a minimal, clean look.</p>
<p>The final details will really make all the difference to your new bathroom, such as the right style of <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/taps-and-wastes" target="_blank">taps</a>, there are some striking designs around that will make a real design statement in any bathroom. Install a stylish <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/furniture-and-accessories/towel-rails-and-radiators/heated-towel-rails/phoenix-rochelle-curved-radiator-1200x500" target="_blank">heated towel rail</a> near to the bath or shower so your towel is easy to reach and to create a warm and inviting room.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With so many space saving bathroom products now available than ever before creating a fresh, modern look to a small bathroom has never been easier. Having a small bathroom means that you can transform the space into a cosy and relaxing retreat and there are plenty of ways in which to enhance a feeling of space. Here are some fantastic hints and tips for small bathrooms and how to get the most out of a compact space.</p>
<div id="attachment_5630" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/bathroom-suites/small-bathroom-suites/balterley-petite-bathroom-suite" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5630 " title="Small Bathroom Suite" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/000000588300010001-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Small Bathroom Suite</p></div>
<ul>
<li><span id="more-5618"></span>Before choosing any new products make sure you measure the bathroom accurately and check the measurements again and again, as every bit counts.</li>
<li>Look around for inspiring ideas in magazines, on the internet and in showrooms so you gain a good idea of the look you want to achieve.</li>
<li>Most small bathrooms usually only have enough space to install a bath or a shower enclosure, so decide what is most important to you, do you love long hot soaks in the bath or do you prefer quick refreshing showers?</li>
<li>For those who prefer to shower, there are a wide variety of shower enclosure styles to choose from including space saving <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/quadrant-enclosures/milano-800mm-quadrant-shower-enclosure" target="_blank">quadrant enclosures</a>, which feature a curved front to maximise the floor space. Walk in showers are great too and will provide a very contemporary and open feel to a small bathroom.</li>
<li>If you want to have a relaxing soak, you can choose from a range of <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/baths/small-baths" target="_blank">compact bath</a> styles including straight steel or acrylic baths, corner baths or even compact freestanding baths for a touch of luxury.</li>
<li>If you can&#8217;t decide between a shower or a bath, then consider a <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/baths/shower-baths/milano-showerbath-1500-lh-noth-with-front-panel-and-screen" target="_blank">shower bath</a>, where you can have the best of both. Shower baths widen out at one end to form a spacious showering area and they feature plenty of bathing space too. Shower baths are available in 1700mm and 1500mm lengths.</li>
<li>When choosing pottery for your small bathroom, look at toilets and basins with shorter projections and dimensions to create more space. Wall-hung items are the best choice for small bathrooms as they provide the most floor space and create a very modern look.</li>
<li>Storage is an essential part of any bathroom, and there is a wide range of compact bathroom furniture available. A small bathroom full of clutter will only feel more enclosed so it is a good idea to only keep what you need in the bathroom and store it out of sight in a vanity unit or a bathroom cabinet for a neat, organised space.</li>
<li>The finishing touches will help bring the look together; clever use of lighting will create a bright and airy feel and a mirror will bounce the light around. Make sure the fittings such as taps, the shower and accessories have simple, minimal designs for a fuss-free look and a <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/furniture-and-accessories/towel-rails-and-radiators/heated-towel-rails" target="_blank">heated towel rail</a> will provide you with the luxury of warm towels and create a warm and inviting space.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A luxurious walk in shower enclosure will instantly up-date the look of any tired looking bathroom and will certainly add a touch of designer style. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers" target="_blank">Walk in showers</a> offer a convenient showering solution and they are really easy to access too, making them a great choice for someone who is less able-bodied. Walk in shower enclosures are available in a range of designs and sizes to suit every type of bathroom, whether you have a small shower room or a spacious family bathroom, you can be sure to shower in style every day.</p>
<div id="attachment_5663" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers/aqualux-aquaspace-walk-in-1400-x-800mm" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-5663 " title="Walk In Shower" src="http://blog.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/000000063500010001-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Walk In Shower</p></div>
<p><span id="more-5655"></span>Walk in shower enclosures are now a more popular choice then ever before for those who are refurbishing their bathroom, as people now lead busier lifestyles and prefer the convenience that a shower can offer over the time it can take to have a bath. A walk in shower has a spacious showering area at one end combined with a drying area which is open to the bathroom at the opposite end; a walk in shower can also be installed with a side panel to create a corner enclosure or alternatively can be fitted into a recess area, they are ideal for replacing an existing bath too. If you have a bath that isn&#8217;t used very often, consider replacing it with a walk in shower, this will transform any bathroom and create a very modern feature. Walk in shower enclosures measuring 1700mm in length are the perfect bath replacement solution, as they measure the same size as a standard bath.</p>
<p>Walk in shower enclosures feature an almost frameless design to create a very sleek, minimalistic look to your new bathroom, most have straight glass but if you want to create more of a design statement opt for one with curved glass such as the <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/shower-enclosures/walk-in-showers/milano-1700x800-curved-walk-in-and-panel" target="_blank">Milano 1700x800mm curved walk in</a>. Walk in showers on Big Bathroom Shop come complete with a low level shower tray to add to the minimal look and feel. If you require plumbing above the floor there are panel and leg sets available that will ease installation.</p>
<p>To complete the look of your new walk in shower why not opt for an ultra-modern shower to complement the design of the enclosure? A large rainfall style shower head fixed to the wall or ceiling combined with a sleek, concealed shower valve will really enhance the overall look of your new bathroom. <a href="http://www.bigbathroomshop.co.uk/showers/shower-valves-and-accessories/shower-heads/ultra-rectangular-fixed-head" target="_blank">Fixed shower heads</a> come in a fantastic choice of sizes and designs including round and rectangular and they will provide you with a totally refreshing shower to help awaken your senses.</p>
