Key ingredients for your bathroom



As a general rule, don’t scrimp on items that come into contact with water. Go for decent-quality fittings that will last. That’s not to say there aren’t bargains out there, but do your research.

 If you tend to play safe with your interiors elsewhere, maybe let loose in the bathroom. Have some fun and be bold with colour – from tiles to the basin.  Do you like a bathroom that wakes you up in the morning, or eases you gently into the day? Colour has a powerful impact, so choose your palette accordingly.

 If you’re on a tight budget, vinyl flooring can be a great option. You can achieve a really stylish look for a fraction of the price of tiles.
