The Complete Home Makeover

• posted by Mark Farrell on Tuesday, 30 March 2010 12:04

When decorating a house it is important that you consider a number of factors. Initially it is well worth while making sure that you have a unified vision of precisely what it is that you are hoping to do with your home. From the outset set a theme and try to adhere to it as much as possible in order to ensure a cohesive finished product which you and your family are happy with for years to come.

Having established a theme for your redecoration it is prudent to assemble a schedule and try to adhere to it. Put aside time to purchase materials and the tools necessary to put together the vision you’ve assembled mentally. With plans in place and the appropriate tools it is time to assemble some sort of guide to work to. Take the relevant time off work or put aside evenings and weekends and assign specific tasks to allotted windows of opportunity.

Begin work and stay enthusiastic! The final product will take time and the intermediate stages of a makeover may not look exactly as you had hoped but perseverance is key and if you have prepared adequately then you won’t be unhappy with the result provided you put enough time and effort into it.

If you are decorating smaller rooms such as cloakroom suites consider such design flourishes as large wall mirrors and storage which utilises corners or wall mounted shelving units. It is also a good idea to opt for light, bright colours such as off-white, cream and magnolia in smaller spaces to maximise the light level. By doing this you will avoid creating a dark space and instead invite light and airiness into that space.

It is essential that you focus on budgeting adequately in terms of funds as well as time. A beautiful look can be created without breaking the bank, as long as you shop around and possibly consider packages or kits which incorporate a number of fixtures or items rather than buying these individually. In addition to saving money this will also tend to ensure uniformity in style which may be absent if you opt to buy individual pieces on separate occasions.

A project such as a makeover can be an enjoyable experience, and as well as enriching your free time and bringing together those working on a project, if done correctly can also add value to your home if looking to resell. It is a genuinely satisfying feeling to do something which not only enriches the time you spent doing it but also the value of your home and your day to day experience of living in the place you call home. Apply yourself appropriately and consider contingencies to make sure that the whole experience is altogether positive.

Small Bathroom Suites

• posted by Mark Farrell on Saturday, 27 March 2010 20:27

At Bathshop321 we’re proud to offer a multitude of bathroom solutions aimed at the space-conscious. Making the most of a small area is just a matter of carefully selecting the best fixtures and fittings for the job and ensuring they are positioned in the most effective formation. By opting for a corner bath suite for instance, you utilise space which may otherwise have been wasted, meaning more usable space- which is particularly useful when the bathroom area is smaller than average. If a more conventional shaped, or P shape bath is more to your taste, then we offer the option of a 1500mm or 1700mm length bath with many of our suites: allowing you to choose the most suitable size for the space you have available. In addition to providing customisable options to make a suite the perfect fit for your bathroom, at Bathshop321 we stock a number of small bathroom suites to suit specific applications.

Our small bathroom suites come in a variety of forms and guises and all have been put together with the intention of getting the most out of a limited space without sacrificing function or style. From compact space saving bathroom suites which come complete with bath and shower facilities, through to the ideal en suite option of shower enclosure suites which just include those fixtures required to put together a wash space: we have numerous niche small bathroom suites at Bathshop321. Equally, if you’re looking to transform a space under the stairs or underused cloakroom into a supplementary washroom facility then our Cloakroom Suites are precisely what you’re after: combining all the necessary fixtures and fittings (and at an incredibly low price).

A small bathroom doesn’t have to mean a limited bathroom suite. By combining a compact bath with an incorporated shower unit and slim-line basin and sanitaryware, almost any bathroom can be stylishly rejuvenated- without eating up all the available floor space. Our space saver bathroom suites assemble these components perfectly and as small bathroom suites go; you’d be hard pressed to find better value, quality or design.

Whatever your requirements or space limitations, at Bathshop321 we’re sure we’ve put together a bathroom suite package to perfectly service your needs. If you can’t find what you’re looking for however then don’t give up. The majority of our small bathroom suites, space saver bathroom suites, modern bathroom suites...in fact almost all of our bathroom suites, are customisable, amendable and generally adjustable to ensure that they offer a perfectly tailored solution to transforming your bathroom space into an awe inspiring suite. Simply contact our sales staff by phone or email to talk through precisely what you’re after and they’ll be able to help put together a suite which fits perfectly.

Make the Most of your Bathroom's Corners

If you're in the process of remodeling your bathroom, don't overlook the opportunity your space's corners present. Whether you're interested in saving space or simply going for a completely new look, corner bathroom fixtures and appliances are a wonderful idea.

Corner elements open up a whole new world of opportunities in bathroom design for many people. They are ideal for compact spaces or unique areas where the shape, size or design of regular bathroom fixtures is an obstacle.

Corner Bathtubs

Would you love to free up the space your traditional shaped bathtub takes up in your bathroom? Today you can choose a corner bathtub that will provide plenty of room for bathing while it makes the most of a bathroom corner. Corner bathtubs are available to suit either left or right hand corners. Innovative and attractive, corner bathtubs are a great alternative to standard tubs.

Shower Enclosures

Today there are many choices in shower enclosures that fit perfectly in corners. You can opt for a square shaped or curve-fronted shower enclosure for your bathroom corner. These attractive showers take up minimal space but provide plenty of room inside. Quadrant shower enclosures with two center-hinged opening doors are particularly stylish, comfortable and convenient in a compact bathroom.

Corner Basins

Sink basins that are designed to mount in corners offer a flexible solution many homeowners find ideal for their bathroom space. Corner basins are available in a variety of designs, and today these innovative sinks are very affordable.

Corner Toilets

Toilets that are designed to mount and fit perfectly in corners are a great way to optimize space in a bathroom. They are also a very interesting design that can work well in a larger bathroom. Corner toilets are designed to be as comfortable and durable as regular toilets. Many people find them more attractive than traditional toilets as well as more unique.

Corner Cabinets and Cupboards

If you're looking for additional storage space, your bathroom's corners could offer the ideal solution. Specially designed wall cabinets that mount in corners are a great way to make the most of the space you have at hand. Corner-fitting bathroom cupboards are another alternative for utilizing corner space.

Design a Room with Bathroom Corner Fixtures

With so many great options for making use of the corner space in your bathroom, you may find yourself wishing you had more corners to work with!

In reality, utilizing the corners in your bathroom involves a careful evaluation of space and dimensions. If you are skilled at measuring spaces and planning room designs, you can design a bathroom plan that includes corner bathroom fixtures and appliances yourself. Many people prefer to work with someone experienced in room planning when they intend to incorporate corner baths, toilets or other elements into their bathroom remodel.

Corner Bathroom Fixtures Installation


When you've decided on a design for your bathroom that includes a corner shower, basin or other fixture, be sure the contractor you hire is experienced at installing these unique items. A quality contractor should have no problem with installation. Someone with little experience or a do-it-yourselfer may face some challenges with corner toilet, bathtub or sink installation.

If you're unsure about an installation you plan to do yourself, contact the supplier where you are purchasing your bathroom corner fixtures. If the supplier isn't able to answer your questions, you can turn to the manufacturer for support and guidance.

Shopping for Corner Bathroom Fixtures

More and more manufacturers are offering corner fixtures today, so consumers have more options than ever when it comes to incorporating these unique items into a new bathroom design. You can shop for innovative corner bathroom fixtures that may not be available in local shops online. As an added benefit, you'll probably find Internet prices for corner bathroom items are lower online than in shops.

Those finishing touches.

Focus on Smaller Components in a Bathroom Remodel

When focusing on a bathroom makeover or remodel, larger items such as showers, bathtubs, sink basins and toilets tend to receive the most attention. It's important to choose these items with care to be sure they look and function the way you want in your new bathroom. However, the smaller components involved in a makeover contribute to the overall look and feel of a bathroom, too.

Bathroom Accessory Sets

Nothing looks worse than a newly remodeled bathroom with old accessories. When you remodel, don't forget to update your towel racks, toilet paper racks, cup and toothbrush holders and robe hooks. These small accessories make a bathroom more convenient to use, and they can also compliment the style of a newly remodeled bathroom. Chrome is an attractive, durable and affordable choice in bathroom accessory materials.

Bathroom Wall Cabinets

While it's possible to paint or apply a new finish to old cabinets during a bathroom makeover, replacing them is so easy and inexpensive, it might be a better choice.

Bathroom wall cabinets come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes today. Specially designed corner cabinets and cabinets with built in lights make organizing and accessing bathroom supplies convenient. You can choose from any number of attractive designs, colors and materials to compliment the look and feel of your bathroom.

Storage Cupboards

Bathroom storage cupboards are another great accessory to add to your bathroom. Storage cupboards are ideal for storing extra towels and cleaning supplies. Bathroom storage cupboards come in a variety of materials, styles, finishes and sizes. You can easily find one that perfectly fits your bathroom's space as well as style.

Bathroom Mirrors

A bathroom mirror is a crucial element in any bathroom, and it's important to select the right size and shape mirror for your room. Today you can choose from square, rectangular, oval and circular shaped mirrors. Innovative or traditional mirror lighting options make mirrors more functional as well as more attractive.

Toilet Seats

Toilet seats are an important accessory you won't want to overlook in a bathroom makeover. A new seat can spruce up an old toilet, but it can also personalize a brand new toilet so it suits your individual tastes and needs.

Soft bathroom seats provide an extra level of comfort compared to ordinary seats. Seats specially designed for families with young children are another great option. A smaller seat designed for kids' comfort is housed in the top lid of the regular toilet seat. It easily pulls down for use whenever needed.

A soft-close toilet seat is the ideal solution to the slamming toilet seat. The seat gently closes without being held to prevent slamming. You'll never replace a toilet seat that's broken due to slamming again.

Bathroom Carpeting

Unless you install under floor heating, bathroom carpeting is the best way to keep your feet warm in the bathroom. A small bathroom rug or carpet can make a big difference in how comfortable your bathroom is to use. It can also add warmth, color and texture to your bathroom's design.

Choose a bathroom carpet that's easy to clean and designed to be used in moist areas. Regular carpeting usually doesn't stand up to the wear and tear associated with bathroom floor usage. Bathroom rugs usually have a special rubberized type of backing that deters water damage and prevents slippage on wet surfaces.

These are some basic remodel "extras" you'll want to choose with care when you're completing your new bathroom. Although they don't involve elaborate installation or a lot of expense, they each play an important role in how your bathroom looks, feels and functions.

Who thinks that natural sponge adds a bit of class to newly decorated bathroom? There are mixed views on this, some say it has a practical use,
other say that it should be for decorative purposes only, and finally other say that it should be left where it forms.

What are your thoughts?
