You have to admit, Britain is a very strange country. Once a year we celebrate a failed attempt by Guy Fawkes to blow up our own parliament and King using gunpowder by… blowing up gunpowder. But we wouldn’t have it any other way! Forget America with its 4th of July, we know that Bonfire Night is the real place to be if you want to enjoy fireworks. We hardy Brits don’t wait until a balmy summer’s eve to watch a display, we wait until winter is upon us then bundle up warm to head down to our local park to fight with the whole community to get nearest to the bonfire.

This is a situation kept has been kept on the hush but we’ve decided to let the cat out of the bag on a delicate subject that can leave the most levelheaded person in a state of panic. It’s kicked in, the realisation that you’ve hurriedly gone and do your business and there’s no loo roll. But, the worst part is when you know deep down you’re just too late to make a move and can no longer waddle for the sake of your dignity. Hopefully, we have found the silver lining will prevent you from debatingly gazing upon your pair of socks as an unsavoury plan B.

We know how tricky it can be to come up with a firm idea of what you want your new bathroom to look like. It’s easy to get stuck in a rut if you’ve had the same style in your bathroom for years, so sometimes you need the perspective of someone new to get your creative juices flowing. That’s where we come in! To help you out, we decided to challenge ourselves to think of twenty six new ideas for bathroom designs; one for each of the letter of the alphabet.
