Find out what it takes to transform the room where you begin and end every day.

As it’s the one room in the house we all use on a regular basis, your bathroom should be somewhere you enjoy spending time. With the right finishing touches, there is no reason your WC shouldn’t be a sanctuary; a space designed for relaxation, pampering and, well, you know what else.

Whether your revamp includes modern light fittings, shimmering tiles or waterfall showers, here are five ways you can revamp your bathroom, making it the perfect place to pass time.

REFRESH YOUR TILES

Retiling your toilet can give the illusion of an entirely new room. By choosing new tiles, you can easily transform your bathroom space from an outdated, unexciting chamber, to a room full of bright colour, chic sophistica­tion or shimmering glamour – depending on your own personal style.

SPRUCE UP SEALANT AND OUT WITH THE GROUT

Though receding sealant and grout browning are very common in toilets, usually occurring due to moisture in the room, the overall effect is not aesthetica­lly pleasing. Reapplying sealant and re-grouting are both simple and effective ways of sprucing up your bathroom.

REPLACE OLD FIXTURES

Rusty taps and mildew-stained shower heads can leave your bathroom looking unfashiona­ble and unloved. Replacing your water fixtures with modern, sleek or vintage looking appliances can totally transform your bathroom’s aesthetic.

INVEST IN NEW STORAGE SPACE

If your bathroom is cluttered with toothpaste, cosmetics, shampoos and razors, it’s unlikely you’ll ever feel totally relaxed there. Invest in under-sink storage or minimalist cabinets to clear away products, leaving room for calming candles and stylish accessorie­s.

RETHINK THE LIGHTING

A dimmer switch could be the perfect addition to your WC, adding ambience to any bath-time, while under-cabinet lighting is both a stylish and practical option. Investing in new lighting for your bathroom can add vast amounts of modernity; and not only will a well-lit bathroom look better, it will look bigger too.
