In a bathroom, the centrepiece for some would be the bathroom mirrors. They can be not only great functional pieces, but are also, if used correctly, great design pieces. Not only is a good mirror a great design piece in itself, but the way it redistributes the light can greatly enhance a bathroom space.

With this latter point in mind, you should install bathroom mirrors with an awareness of the light intake capability – for example, a large mirror above a sink not only has practical implications, but will also help to capture light from an opposing window. This will greatly enhance the light intake in a bathroom, so whereas it may be counterintuitive to put a large mirror in a small bathroom, it may be just what you need to enhance the spatial impact in a small space.

Also, bathroom mirror cabinets, unlike plain bathroom cabinets, will all also add an extra dimension to a bathroom space, as well as optimizing the practicality of your bathroom.

You might want to complement your bathroom mirrors with some dedicated lighting, perhaps around your main bathroom mirror, which will really set the mirror off during nocturnal hours. Whilst this optimizes functionality, it also creates a striking aesthetic effect, which will really set off your bathroom space.

So, where do find the perfect bathroom mirror at the perfect price? Well, with a huge selection of high quality mirrors, at bathroom2u, you’re sure to find the perfect bathroom mirror at an affordable price.

For many people, the best bathrooms to have are the ones that best catch the light; however, as confined spaces, creating a well-lit bathroom space can be a challenge – with this in mind, what are the best ways to light a bathroom?

One of the simplest, and most affordable, ways to manage the light in a bathroom is to utilise some well placed bathroom mirrors, this could mean a single large mirror above the sink. On the other hand, you could get more creative, and host some small mirrors on your window ledge. Whatever you choose to do, you will have to make sure that it matches the decor, and complements, rather and overwhelms, the other elements.

Of course, if you really want your bathroom to shine, then you’ll need some light sources. And, despite bathrooms being traditionally confined spaces, there are plenty of ways to do this. For example, you could install some modern, stylish spot bathroom lighting, which will act both as an effective light source, and an ultra-modern design feature in their own right.

For bathrooms on the smaller side, it is especially important that as much light is “taken in” as possible, and therefore as a broad rule: smaller bathrooms will benefit from lighter colours, such as white bathroom taps etc.

Where can you find all these lighting solutions? At Bathrooms2u, there is a wide range of bathroom lighting options, as well as mirrors and bathroom accessories – essentially everything that you need to create that well-lit bathroom space.

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”

Doing the bathroom is one of the least desirable cleaning chores. For one thing, there is usually a toilet in there, not to mention hard to shift stains in tile grout. Bathroom mirrors can be tricky to get really clean too. Streaks are always a pain.

If you are planning a renovation or a new bathroom, it is worth choosing bathroom cabinets and fixtures with easy, speedy cleaning in mind. With a little forethought you can make it much less of a hassle. Here are some factors to keep in mind when buying.

Bathroom taps that merge smoothly into the top of the vanity unit or sink are a good idea. Around the base of the taps is a hot spot for mold and grime build up and can be tricky to clean properly. An old toothbrush is an ideal tool but prevention is better than cure, so choosing bathroom taps without creases where mold can hide is a step in the right direction. Remember that combining hot and cold water taps into one means half the cleaning time. Chrome bathroom taps will also be easier to clean because they won’t tarnish.

Most bathroom cabinets and showers are fairly simple to clean, although the best strategy is to do a little quite often rather than letting grime build up before having a big cleaning blitz.  Again, look at the borders and seams between glass and plastic surfaces. A smooth transition from one to the other is an indicator of quality products and will make cleaning easier for you.

Looking around most bathrooms and wetrooms, you’ll see the majority of the cabinet space is close to the ground. That makes sense, because having all the bulky objects in the room low down makes it seem much more spacious. Lines of sight across the room are clearer, which is great from an interior design point of view. However, there are some bathroom items that are better stored higher up, especially in households with children.

Medicine cabinets are usually situated at the same height as bathroom mirrors - around head to shoulder level for an adult and well out of reach of littler hands. That’s exactly as it should be - easy access for the adults, and no access for small kids.

Washstand bathroom cabinets, though, are often where the problem is. There’s no medicines in there but there are often cleaning products. Bleach, for example, is a very serious poison and accidents do still happen despite the advent of childproof bottle caps. Anyone who has watched an eight year old program their video recorder knows that kids can be pretty good with technical puzzles, and those caps aren’t 100% effective.

If they are already in place, consider rearranging what goes in which bathroom cabinets. It doesn’t matter if the kids get into the towel stack, so keep harmless items on low down shelves and keep the top of the tall corner cabinet for cleaning products, for example. Alternately, put a latch on the one cabinet where the cleaning products are stored. It’s easy to fit a simple latch to almost any bathroom cabinet with just a screwdriver, and you can choose from any number of styles at the hardware shop.

Many people look upon showers as a quick and efficient way to freshen up. This is true, but did you know that your beloved shower is also a masseur, psychiatrist and healer? Every time you pamper yourself under its warm spray, you have the option to call upon any of these services.

Mentally – showers can help to wash away the stresses of the day and calm the mind.

Physically – your shower can act as a masseur by preparing your muscles for vigorous exercise. In turn, they can also sooth and alleviate any soreness after a workout.

Healing – when the steam from your shower is misting up your bathroom mirrors, it is also relieving any symptoms of congestion. Colds and flu are easier to manage when steam thins the mucus as it helps to clear a stuffy head and alleviate sinus pain.

To benefit from these experiences it is essential that you have complete shower safety. Shower valves ensure that your water temperature remains constant throughout, even when the rest of the family are using the dishwasher or flushing the toilet. This means that you can enjoy your shower without the rest of the household having to grind to a halt.

Thermostatic shower valves switch off the water supply to the shower if the temperature rises above a certain level.  This can provide peace of mind for families with elderly relatives or children as there is no fear of them being scolded.

If you want to have a relaxing shower without the stress of upsetting the family routine and the worry of battling with fluctuating water temperatures, take a look at the many shower valves available at Bathroom2u to ensure that your water fun doesn’t end in a water fight.

We all love a cool refreshing shower on a hot sticky day, but is your shower looking at you with an icy stare or encouraging you to get your feet wet?

Don’t get steamed up if you are not getting the ‘wow’ factor every time you want to freshen up.  One way of helping your shower out of troubled waters is to keep it clean.  Check the head to see if it is blocked with lime scale. If it is, your water supply could be reduced to a bare trickle.

A good shower should make you want to tread the waters.  Become drawn to your bathroom by complimenting its setting with some stylish bathroom fittings.  Squeaky clean shower doors, shining bathroom mirrors and a de-scaled shower head are all essences which add to your bath time experience.

Don’t forget to check your shower valves.  This has a direct impact on the effectiveness of your shower – no doubt we have all experienced that moment when we reach down to pick up the soap and have accidentally knocked the valve with our elbow, thus making us feel as though we are standing naked in the North Pole as we fumble to bring back the temperature.

We are always looking for new ways to spruce up the bathroom.  Shower valves come in a multitude of different styles and are cheap and easy to replace, so stop your shower from running hot and cold and buy a shiny new replacement today.

Although a bathroom is usually one of a household’s smaller rooms, if furnished in the correct way is can leave a big impression. For a bathroom to be entirely successful, however, it should combine functionality with aesthetic quality, which can be effectively achieved with the correct use of bathroom accessories.

To create the perfect first impression, the correct use of bathroom lights is essential, and should be used not only to light the room adequately, but also to furnish the room. Luckily there are plenty of bathroom lights available to give a bathroom a truly stylish feel. Spot lights are available that are great for lighting a room and give a fantastic “modern” feel, and striplights are available that are great for illuminating mirrors, whilst not overpowering the other decor in the room.

Another great way to reflect your personality in the bathroom (quite literally) is through the correct choice and use of bathroom mirrors, and Bathroom2u can offer a wide range of bathroom lights to suit any style, whether it be traditional or more contemporary. Ideally, you would correlate your use of bathroom lights and bathroom mirrors in order to magnify their effects, e.g. by illuminating a contemporary mirror with a striplight.

Another great way to add a little touch of glamour or subtle elegance to a bathroom is through the correct use of bathroom taps, which can really add to the overall effect of a room. Bathroom2u offer some fantastic bathroom taps to suit any style, whether it be traditional elegance, or minimalist modernity.

Bathroom mirrors not only serve practical purposes like enabling you to shave, apply make up and so on. They can also have an extremely beneficial effect on the appearance of your bathroom, since they give the illusion of extra space and therefore make your bathroom feel welcoming. These days, there is a wide range on mirrors on the market. They can suit all manner of tastes and address your specific practical requirements. In the final analysis, mirrors improve your bathroom décor.

A basic bathroom mirror can be fitted anywhere and there are a number of designs to add a touch of style. However, for a little more investment you can buy illuminated bathroom mirrors, which come with in built lighting. This not only adds an extra element of light to your bathroom, but is particularly good for the use of shaving and make up applications, as you will always have the ideal amount of light and will not be forced to install your mirror in a position that catches light from your main source. Illuminated bathroom cabinets are the same concept, but with the obvious advantage of a storage capacity. You can even find illuminated bathroom cabinets with shaving sockets.

If you happen to enjoy a particularly hot shower, you will be familiar with the problem of a steamed up mirror. Demist mirrors, as their name implies, demist straight away, so you no longer have to wait, or wipe down with a towel and leave streaky marks.

At Bathroom2u we have bathroom mirrors in all sizes and designs, to improve the look and feel of any bathroom.
