“Following to the latest trend can make your new bathroom become old faster than you’dl like” says Katie Soucek, interior designer at Capitol Ceramics Tiles. The pace of modern life means that trends pass faster, so if you want to ensure that your bathroom has a timeless quality it may pay to opt for classic style over current fashions.

“For example, bathrooms with borders and trims are now starting to look very old.” Soucek claims, so by choosing a border or trim for your new bathroom design, it could look out of date as soon as it’s finished.

And it may seem obvious but a fresh lick of paint – even if it is touching up your existing colour – can work wonders. According to interior stylist, Jane Molloy, nude shades ooze style and sophistication, whilst translucent colours work in the majority of colour schemes.

Light colours can give the room a feeling of extra space and is great for small bathrooms. Alternatively, deeper and moody colours offer a romatanic atmosphere and real ‘wow’ factor. “Choosing the same tiles to sit on the walls and floor immediately makes the bathroom look modern and bigger” adds Katie Soucek from Capitol Ceramics.

Bathroom mirrors are available in a huge range of styles, shapes and dimensions. A mirror is an essential item for all of the daily grooming tasks that take place so why not make it something a bit special. Choices of bathroom mirrors on the market are seemingly endless with a huge amount available in high street stores and from online suppliers.

Choosing the appropriate bathroom mirror is vital to reflect style and character to suit your personality and requirements. Years ago there were less options but the mirrors available in todays market are sleek and stylish across the modern, traditional and Victorian ranges.

Along with the much needed reflection for grooming a bathroom mirror will make the sometimes dark and small space of a bathroom will give the impression of greater space as well as reflecting the light around the room to give a much more lighter airy feel. You then need to decide on a budget as mirrors can vary from 10 to over 500.

Shower water filters. Now just why would you bother with one. Clearly we need to filter our drinking water so we’re drinking clean water, but why in the world would you filter shower water?

After all, you just wash in it dont you, you dont drink the shower water.

But regardless there are still some very good reasons to use a shower water filter every time you shower. Here’s 4 reasons.

1. Chlorine. Now we all know that you shouldn’t drink chlorine, and that the best water filters filter out chlorine. There’s no doubt that drinking chlorine isn’t good for you and some consider it very likely that drinking chlorine causes cancer.

But chlorine in the shower water is still a problem. Because some of the water that lands on your skin soaks into your skin, and your body. And chlorine goes in with it. So in effect you have the same result as if you had drunk unfiltered water. And hot water opens the pores and allows more chlorine in.

2. And as chlorinated water gets hot the chlorine is released into the atmosphere and you breathe it.

It’s easy to go shopping online these days and bathroom sinks are certainly no exception. In fact you can buy your whole bathroom online. But why would you buy online rather than going to your local bathroom showroom or DIY discount center?

1. Massive Choice

You will be amazed at the selection of bathroom sinks available online compared to the few you will be able to purchase at your local bathroom store or DIY warehouse. Local stores do not have room to stock many bathroom sinks and sometimes you have to resort to ordering from a brochure because the choice on display is so limited. Decide to shop online however and the chances are high that you will be able to find something special and unique that is exactly right for your needs.

2. Better Deals

You will find very keen prices at many stores online. They can afford to sell for less because they have fewer overheads than conventional businesses. Plus the online stores know they need to provide great prices so that you don’t click away to buy elsewhere – you can shop around with very little hassle and they know it. When you are looking around and comparing prices be sure to compare similar sinks rather than just looking for particular names unless you have a particular brand and model in mind.
