How to Revitalize a Bathroom

June 24th, 2010

Once in a while, home decor requires “upgrading,” and there is no reason why this should be limited to the bigger rooms in a house. Whilst you might not immediately think of a bathroom when it comes to redecorating, as one of the most visited rooms in the house, it deserves consideration, love and care.

Mirrors

One of the most affordable ways to completely revitalize a bathroom space is to invest in some decent mirrors; bathroom mirrors are not just bathroom accessories, but they perform a particular function, i.e. redistributing light, and making bathrooms feel “roomier”

Bathroom Taps

You might not want to commit to a complete overhaul of your bathroom space, but there are some relatively simple steps you can take to really optimize the space.  For example, you could try replacing your old bathrooms taps with some brand new chrome fittings, which will immediately revitalize the room.

Of course, if you really want to reinvent a bathroom space, then you could opt for a brand new bathroom suite – which will make those difficult design decisions a little bit easier. You might assume that a bathroom suite will cost a bundle, but at Bathrooms2u we are committed to not only offering great bathroom suites, but at affordable prices, too. No matter what style you envision, we will be able to help.

So, give that bathroom some real thought and care. Whether with new fittings, accessories, or a brand new bathroom suite, we have everything you could need to revitalise your room.

Making Your Bathroom Safe

June 2nd, 2010

Bathrooms are among the most common accident sites in the home. Slippery floors are always a problem, and stepping into and out of the baths and showers can also be dangerous. Even for the fittest of us, balancing all our weight on one foot in wet, smooth bath tubs and lifting the other to step out can result in a slip. A healthy adult can easily break their wrist or tail bone in a bathroom fall (and Accident and Emergency statistics say they do), but there is plenty you can do to make your bathroom safe and keep it accident-free.

If you have elderly people using the bathroom, consider installing a shower rail to assist balance both in the shower and when getting in and out. They are inexpensive and can be retro-fitted to most showers without damaging the tiles. For bath tubs, we have a range of bath seats and other safe living aids in the Independent Bathing section.

Consider the site of bathroom cabinets carefully. A fall onto the floor is bad, but to hit the sharp edge or corner of a cabinet on the way down is particularly dangerous. Don’t put them in the way where they could become hazards. You can also choose bathroom cabinets with more rounded gentle edges.

A few simple accessories can make your bathroom much safer. A rubber bath mat makes the floor in the tub or shower tray much less slippery, and they can be removed for easy cleaning. To prevent the build-up of grime underneath, pull up the mat and drape it over the edge of the bath when you’re finished.

Free Up Your Bathroom With Bathroom Furniture

February 24th, 2010

The bathroom is a haven for pampering, rest and relaxation. However, if your bathroom is cluttered with shampoo bottles, shower gels, shaving equipment and the like, it can be difficult to enjoy your bathroom in comfort. The simple addition of bathroom furniture will significantly improve the look and feel of your bathroom, and at Bathroom2u we have bathroom cabinets, floorstanding units, vanity units and much more to create the perfect storage solution to any bathroom.

For smaller bathrooms, wall mounted storage is a wise choice as it doesn’t take up any floor space and you can easily select a size and shape to suit your measurements. Mirrored bathroom cabinets are an excellent method of storage, and have the added advantage of a convenient mirror for shaving and make up application. You can even get illuminated bathroom cabinets for extra light and bathroom cabinets with shaving sockets built in. If you prefer to have storage beneath your washbasin, you can choose from a range of wall units, floorstanding units and vanity units, in designs that fit to your décor.

For larger bathrooms, which may well need family size storage, you can buy tall floorstanding units, or independent tall units that act as a bathroom cupboard. Their shape means that they provide ample storage whilst taking up the minimal amount of space.

At Bathroom2u we have storage solutions in any shape, size and style, so that you can find the perfect bathroom storage solution for your unique bathroom design.

Adding Storage Space with Bathroom Cabinets

August 13th, 2009

If you, like many of us in the UK, have a bathroom that is not quite as large as you might like it to be, then you may want to increase the storage space in the bathroom and bathroom cabinets are a great way to do this.

When some people think of bathroom cabinets, they think of the small wooden bathroom cabinets that are generally located above the bathroom sink with perhaps a mirror on the front.

However, nowadays this is only the tip of the iceberg. There are corner bathroom cabinets, tall or short, cabinets built into wall recesses, illuminated bathroom cabinets, wooden cabinets and floor-standing cabinets.

At Bathroom2u, we can help you pick from dozens of cabinet choices available with most styles coming in a wide variety of colours and materials.

One thing you should note when searching for bathroom cabinets is the size and shape. Consider your existing bathroom furniture and available space and consider what is in proportion or will suit the existing décor.

You might also want to check the small detail on the bathroom cabinets. Minor details like the material the handle is made from and how it opens, or how the cabinet is to be fixed to the wall or whether it is free standing. Remember that wall bathroom cabinets that remain off the floor will help give the illusion of more space.

Changing small details like bathroom cabinets in the room can completely change the look of the bathroom, so consider other accessories like changing soap dishes or soap dispensers. At Bathroom2u, we have a wide range of colours in our Rainbow collection to suit any taste.

Redesigning Your Bathroom

August 5th, 2009

When you re-design your bathroom, it is important not to forget the small yet important matter of the fixtures and fittings around the bathroom furniture, as accessorising is a necessity nowadays – and certainly in the bathroom where visitors will see your belongings and your newly designed bathroom.

It is certainly not enough to make sure the bathroom taps are modern and the bathroom cabinets suit the décor. Nowadays, you should consider all the choices available to you and at Bathrooms 2U, we can help with those decisions.

To make a bold statement, why not try our new Rainbow range of accessories? We have soap dishes, dispensers and toilet brushes in a wide range of bright and funky colours including green, red, yellow, orange and purple amongst others.

You may also want to put up a mirror as these are perfect to open up a smaller area and give an illusion of extra space and reflect light.

The bathroom taps and bathroom cabinets do play a large role in the new bathroom design, but if you want to be able to change the look of your bathroom at a later stage without incurring too much additional cost, then you can choose the modern or traditional overall look using the bathroom taps, furniture and bathroom cabinets but alter the colour scheme using smaller accessories like our Rainbow collection.

Choosing the right accessories and lighting can make all the difference in any bathroom and can change the look completely, simply by introducing new colours or new textures.

Enhancing Bathroom Sinks

August 3rd, 2009

More than any other piece of bathroom furniture, it is the bathroom sink that gets the most use. As a result there are almost limitless options available to you and at Bathroom2u, we are able to offer an almost limitless range to help you decide what you want.

The first choice is probably whether you want free standing sinks or a vanity-mounted sink. Free standing sinks are still mounted on the wall, and they may come without or even without a pedestal to provide additional support, but the basin is exposed to view.

The only downside to a freestanding bathroom sink is there is no additional storage underneath however, it does offer a clean, modern and open look and for the smaller bathroom, it can make the room feel more spacious as it exposes more of the wall and floor.

For those who may like more storage space for personal items, then you could choose a bathroom sink with some built-in counter space. Vanity-mounted bathroom sinks add storage space and offer endless design possibilities.

There are options of ready-made sinks with different mounting options such as self-rimming sinks that sit on a countertop. There are also those that sit below the counter called under-mounted sinks and these emphasise the countertop rather than the sink itself.

For a smooth and clean, modern appearance, there are bathroom sinks are integrated into the countertop. Vessel sinks are those that sit on top of the counter and level with the drain; this sort of bathroom sink has become increasingly popular in recent years for the ultra-modern bathroom.
