Bathrooms can often be the one of the more
neglected rooms of the house, with more attention given to the lounge or
kitchen. A lot of people consider some bathroom fittings a luxury that they
cannot afford, preferring to spend their money on a big screen TV or a new
top-of-the-line range cooker.
Everyone has their priorities when it comes
to home improvement, but there are a lot of bathroom fittings out there that a
lot of people don’t ordinarily think to buy.
What follows is a selection of some of the quirkier
designer items you probably wouldn’t find in the average household but which could
turn your bathroom into a contemporary masterpiece.
LED
Shower Heads
These really give a modern twist to a
bathroom and are perfect for people who love gadgets and gizmos. There are a
range of different styles of shower heads but most only have the one use. LED
shower heads not only look great and do the job but some even contain sensors
that monitor the temperature of the water. When there is a shift in the water
temperature the LEDs change colour accordingly, letting you know when it is too
hot or too cold.
Waterfall
Taps
Taps aren’t usually the most striking thing
about a bathroom, but waterfall taps will certainly stand out from the rest
with their modern and unusual appearance. Instead of providing a jet of water,
these taps allow a steady flow reminiscent of, you guessed it, a waterfall.
Backlit
Mirrors
Every bathroom should have a mirror, not
only for practical purposes but because they make smaller rooms seem bigger.
Backlit mirrors complete a contemporary motif and aside from providing the
usual benefits, some contain motion sensors that turn the light on when in
front of it. Some designs also come with demister pads that automatically clear
condensation, removing the need for you to wipe it clean all the time yourself.
Freestanding
Baths
For most of us, floor space in the bathroom
is a factor when it comes to choosing a shower or tub. There’s no denying that
most freestanding baths require room, but there are smaller sizes out there.
If you enjoy reading the paper when you’re
bathing, slipper baths
are ideal. They are designed and shaped to accommodate sitting in a
comfortable, upright position.
