Top Tips for a Trendy Bathroom

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

There are many new trends surging across the bathroom industry. This article will highlight the new and stylish trends that may add sophistication and uniqueness to your bathroom. The key to adding a personal touch to your bathroom is to ensure the style you choose is perfect for you and not just a picture you saw in a magazine.

That having been said here are bigbathroomshops suggestions towards having a fashionable bathroom:

Lighten Up: The ambience in the bathroom is now seen in a completely new light, quite literally, LED lighting has been designed in a fashion around showers heads and throughout the bathroom, to create the perfect atmosphere for the users mood. They are a low cost lighting source, safe, easy to use and virtually maintenance free.

Spa-fect: The perfect solution to relaxing within you home is to create an in-house spa. An increasingly popular trend, due to stressful jobs and more time at home being devoted to relaxing. The best way to create this effect is to use pastel colours that aren’t overbearing. The best way to create a tranquil atmosphere, however, is to have a luxurious oversized bath or a whirlpool bath. Another effective way to create this style within your home is to have an extravagant showering area, through a walk-in shower or an entire wet-room.

Beautiful Baths: An effective device to increase the attrctiveness and charm of your bathroom, attempt to make the bath the focal point. The way to do this, if you have the luxury of a large bathroom is to think carefully about the positioning of the bath. A free-standing bath maybe the most striking option to choose or perhaps an inset bath with a plinth around it. and will be utilised opposite the door, so that it will be the first thing that people see as they walk in, or if you have a generous window place it underneath, therefore making a show-piece of the bath.

Sensible Storage: Vanity units are ideal as they can make a feature of your basin, as well as increase storage space within the bathroom decreasing the amount of clutter within the bathroom, ensuring the bathroom always look tidy and fresh.

Basic, Beautiful and Bizarre Basins

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Basins are no longer a place to wash your hands and face, but have instead become the secondary feature to bathrooms, perhaps even the most prominent.

Basins have forever been perceived as a back to wall, two tap hole, rectangular shape with a pedestal. Although they are simple and lack pizazz they can still be very stylish in this design. Contemporary and traditional designs are both very fashionable and will remain so, as they are unlikely to appear dated.

Basins have since come away from the traditional façade, and have instead become something of a statement of a persons bathroom. Many striking basins now exist in all shapes and sizes, whether for their beauty or their peculiarity. Wall hung basins and vanity units have become increasing popular due to their low cost, panache and great use of space within the bathroom. Cameo, semi-inset and fully inset basins give a wide variety of option to create the perfect feeling within your bathroom.

Freestanding basins have quickly become the height of sophistication within the bathroom however these basins are expensive and can be extremely wrong if they are not suited to bathroom appropriately.
