Improve lighting

Consider motion-sensor lighting to prevent having to search for the light switch during the night. Try the Vigilamp Led sensor Light,

£17.99, argos. It’s battery operated, meaning no tricky re-wiring, and has a stick-on option, too, so is perfect for tiled walls. Opt for frosted shades over metal or clear glass ones to soften harsh ceiling lighting, too.

✿ Most bathrooms have small windows or frosted glass which are great for privacy but, as this can make the room dark, getting the lighting right is an important consideration. We love these vintage-look Lucca Single Bathroom Spotlights, £25 each, John Lewis & Partners.
