Great Bathroom Ideas

Archive for September, 2009

It makes sense to have all the taps in a bathroom the same style, which is where tap packs come into their own.  Quite often there is a small price-saving that comes with buying taps in a pack rather than separately too. 

Unwind Tap Pack With Bath/Shower Mixer £299

For your delectation and delight we’ve searched the tap-pack market, picking out the best in terms of style and value for money and eliminating the rest.  

As an example, the Unwind Tap Pack With Bath Shower Mixer, ticks all the right boxes, combining exceptional good looks with functionality.  The Curve Tap Pack with Bath Shower Mixer, is just as good-looking but, strangely given the name, is rather more streamlined than the Unwind. 

If you’re budget is a little less generous, you can’t go wrong with the Contract Tap Pack, which offers great quality and value for money.  The modern style tap heads are chrome plated zinc alloy for a hardwearing finish and the bath shower mixer tap includes the handy headset. Also included in this tap pack are basin and bath wastes.

If vanity is about taking pride in yourself, why not extend this pride to your home with a vanity unit?  Up until relatively recently, when it came to choosing a vanity unit, white was the colour of choice.  Not so nowadays!  Dark colours and black are incredibly fashionable.  If you take a look at our Adatto Casa 1200 Wenge and Ruby Red Vanity and Basin, for instance, you’ll understand the reason for this popularity.  And if ruby red isn’t your colour, you could opt for Kiwi Green or Coral Orange.

Another front-runner in the Vanity Unit style stakes is a stone or slate top above wooden shelves – enter our Zebrano Vanity Unit!  Zebrano wood is stunningly beautiful; highly marked with thin stripes of chocolate brown and black on a golden background. 

Even if your budget is limited, your potential bathroom style isn’t – evidenced by our Caspian Dark Walnut Freestanding Vanity Unit, which has been specially designed to withstand condensation and splashes of water. 

The message has to be that, whatever your budget, a vanity unit might be the very thing to bring your bathroom bang up to date.

Who amongst us doesn’t lust after a walk-in shower?  If you’ll pardon the pun – walk-in showers are hot!  Which is why, at Great Bathroom Ideas, we have put together four whole pages of them ranging in style and price from the upper echelon to the more affordable.

Aquaspace walk in shower £1709

If money is no object and you have enough space, AquaSpace walk-in showers are a truly luxurious option.  The AquaSpace 1700mm Walk-Through Shower will transform your everyday bathroom experience into a spacious and luxurious event.  Access is via easy glide doors on either side and bamboo footboards create two drying areas. 

At well under the £1,000 mark there is the Balterley Aspire range of Walk in Showers; they have showering and drying area and come complete with shower tray and waste.  At under £500 is the very stylish Phoneix 1350×900 Corner Walk-In Recess.  The quality of this piece is incredible at the price: the glass panels are 8mm thick; the shower tray is both rigid in construction yet modern in design. The slim 40mm profile makes it suitable for any bathroom environment.
