Like any room in the home, the most obvious way to reinvent bathroom decor is to change the colour scheme. However, as bathrooms are often confined spaces, this means that colours that will work are often limited. Of course, this doesn’t mean that one can’t be creative with bathroom colour.

Single Colour Schemes

Modern bathrooms often benefit from a restrained colour scheme. With this in mind, white toilet seats and white bathroom suites are often best put to use without any opposing colours – for example, if you have a modern bathroom, such as a wetroom, you might benefit from all-black bathroom taps.

Multi-Colour Schemes

However, whilst a retrained colour scheme might be perfect for your particular bathroom space, this is far from being a universal rule – and often some colours can really shine when in opposition with other – for example, most commonly, white toilet seats might combine with black bathroom taps to create an effect that is highly stylized, whilst not being too overt.

Chrome

When it comes to bathroom colour, your options aren’t just limited to the old colours like black and white – and instead if you really want to create an effective space, then you might consider using chrome (chrome taps or accessories), which will compliment both modern and traditional spaces.

At Bathroom2u, we have a wide range of fantastic products, including chrome, which means that you are never more than a few clicks away from your ideal bathroom accessories and fittings.

When selecting bathroom taps, you will find that there is an overwhelming range of options and not just in the finishes, but in the styles too.

At Bathroom2u, we can help you make the right choice for your bathroom. In terms of finishes, there is stainless steel, brass chrome or brushed nickel. Each one of these finishes has its own pros and cons that may influence your decision on which bathroom taps you want to purchase.

Stainless steel is generally one of the most popular finishes for bathroom taps. The main thing about stainless steel is it is designed to be tough and long lasting with a blend of chromium and steel alloys and looks clean and modern. Stainless steel is also one of the cheaper options for bathroom taps and comes in a variety of shapes and styles.

On the other hand, if you want shiny bathroom taps then you might want chrome. Chrome bathroom taps are made by putting a chrome finish over a solid brass item that is silver in colour, much like stainless steel but the resulting bathroom taps are shinier.

Chrome bathroom taps do not scratch or corrode, are resistant to tarnish and are long lasting. Brass is much less common than stainless steel or chrome, even though they were used in bathrooms for a long time in the past. Brushed nickel is one of the newest options in bathroom decorating trends.

There are many different styles to choose from, including whether you want a mixer tap or more traditional tap, but browsing our range should give you some ideas about what will suit your bathroom.

Whether you are looking to completely redesign your bathroom or you want to update it and give it a little makeover, re-assessing how you use the bathroom and changing the storage can give it a whole new feel.

Cluttered bathrooms generally look more untidy and old bottles of shampoo or shower gel can start to look a little dirty when left on the side of the bath. With today’s preferences leaning towards the clean and simple lines of a modern bathroom, clutter on display is a real no-no.

At Bathroom2u, we find that our bathroom cabinets are highly popular for this reason alone and we have a huge variety of designs to help you find the one to reflect your style and suit your bathroom.

You first need to assess how much storage space you need and where it will be best situated within the bathroom. Bathroom cabinets come in many styles nowadays, including the traditional wooden unit with a mirror to hang over the sink. However, there are now also sleek and modern mirrored bathroom cabinets that fit snugly in the corner of the room, so you could hang the cabinet in the corner where it will be easily accessible from the shower. You might want another over the sink or even in the corner by the toilet or towels.

Consider the height, width and depth and how much room is needed. Many modern bathrooms have more than one bathroom cabinet nowadays. Bathroom storage cabinets are available in a wide range of materials and with different handles or openings and at Bathroom2u, we have them all.

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.

The bathroom is one of the busiest rooms in your house and this means that it needs to look good and have room in it to avoid clutter. Bathrooms have a tendency to get cluttered quickly and so storage space can come in handy. At Bathroom2u, we know that bathroom cabinets can be a huge help.

Bathroom cabinets allow you to store various items in the bathroom. Installing them helps make your bathroom look bigger because they get rid of clutter. They also make your bathroom look much cleaner and more organised too. Many bathroom cabinets come with mirrors on the outside of them. Naturally, this adds another mirror to your bathroom thus reflecting light and giving the illusion of more space. Mirrors, whilst helping to make the space look bigger, also help disguise the fact that you even have a cabinet while also looking attractive. If bathroom cabinets are going to take up too much room in a small space, you can have also them recessed into the wall. Of course, the good thing about bathroom cabinets is they don’t have to take up floor space, so help keep a bathroom looking spacious.

After purchasing from our range of bathroom cabinets, you will want to keep them organized as well because it is easy to let them get all cluttered up. Our new Rainbow range of bright and colorful accessories can help to keep the bathroom organized and looking coordinated with soap dishes or dispensers to hold the soap. Make sure that you only store things in them that you use frequently. Things that you do not use often can be put somewhere else out of sight to minimize clutter.

Your bathroom should be a place where you can relax in private in your own sanctuary from the troubles and worries of day to day life. The average Brit spends around eight to ten minutes in the shower each day so to improve the shower can only help to improve your relaxation and enjoyment.

Any bathroom improvement also helps to improve the resale value of your property and the bathroom is a key room that any potential buyer will be interested in.

To improve your shower without necessarily having to go to the expense of purchasing and installing an entire new unit is not as difficult as it might seem. The showerheads of today are varied from massaging jets to rainfall options or body sprays.

Shower doors are a way of telling the age of a shower and after years of abuse, they are often covered in scratches, old limescale build up and have corroded door tracks. Simply installing a new shower door can make a huge difference to a bathroom, especially if space is an issue. You might even want to make a change and have a hinge or bi-fold shower door instead of a fixed one.

If your shower seems to be working fine but is almost falling off the wall, then shower brackets can be purchased separately.

At Bathroom2u, we have a wide range of shower heads, shower cubicles and shower valves to help our customers to improve or update their shower or bathroom.

Wetrooms have become increasingly popular in recent years as people have turned to taking more showers than baths or like the modern look of wetrooms.

A wetroom is a whole room or space that is solely for the purpose of showering. With the property boom we have seen, and indeed with the following recession, this has only highlighted to people how a good bathroom design will add value to a property in whatever economic climate and the same can be said of installing wetrooms.

A well-designed wetroom really enhances a property as well as the selling price. For those with the space, many even opt to have both a conventional bathroom and a wetroom as well. There are different ways to build wetrooms, however, the principle goal is to firstly build a waterproof membrane and then to provide adequate and effective drainage. The tanking, otherwise called waterproof lining, can be made from fibreglass. Vinyl sheeting is another viable solution although fibreglass is generally more common.

When the tanking is complete, the render and polymer-based product is to follow. Tiles are placed on top to help protect against leaks and to give the look desired for the overall effect. Usually, these are made from a non-slip material.

Wetrooms are perfect for smaller spaces and mean no slipping in the bath or shower cubicle, as well as no shower curtain or cubicle door to battle with.

At Bathroom2u, we have a range of wetroom kits and panels for wetrooms suitable for any size of space.
