Hello again trusty renovator! Are you looking to fix up or transform your bathroom? Do your bathroom fittings, fixtures and appliances need replacing with more modern and stylish models? Well worry not prospective DIY champion! The Bathshop321 Handyman is back to give you a helping hand with all your bathroom repairs, tweaks and installations!

Today, Bathshop321 will show you how colour can create the illusion of space for any room in the house, but especially our bathrooms. When following London Design Festival later this year, we noticed that the lime green has joined the interior craze, but do you actually know how the vibrant shades of green can work with your bathroom creating a fresh, zingy feel without over dominating the space? If the answer is no, take a quick look at these stunning designs for a little inspiration.

We’re looking forward to see what the London Design Festival will bring to bathrooms this year, but the latest was certainly not taken for granted by all the top designers. Each and everyone were grasping at the opportunity to showcase their new collections at any cost. We have scoured the shows to bring you the hot new trends for your bathroom and to show you how to get the latest looks – without blowing your budget on the high street.

As you may or may not know, March 22nd is annual World Water Day – a day aimed at building awareness around the need to protect fresh water supplies. Although the UK has daily access to clean and healthy water, many areas of the world do not. There are currently 2.5 billion people, including almost one billion children, without access to even basic sanitation. World Water Day, as part of the International Year of Water Cooperation, aims to promote the need for water cooperation to help share this precious resource equitably.

Over the past couple of weeks we’ve enjoyed reading through loads of great blog posts that have provided frugal tips for the home. After spending a while whittling down our favourites, we’ve compiled seven handy tips for being frugal in the bathroom. Enjoy!

Here at Bathshop321 we like to help homeowners to create their dream bathroom and advise them on the best ways of doing so. We were intrigued by the selections of durable flooring Karndean have to offer, so we decided to conduct an interview with them to find out just how practical their flooring would be for use within the home. If you’ve been considering Karndean flooring to accompany your new bathroom suite then we recommend you have a read through to see if this flooring option is for you and how to use it effectively within your home!

The key to a great bathroom is design; it’s easier to create a timeless bathroom if you choose natural and contemporary elements. As trends change, a modern simplistic bathroom can be altered more efficiently without having to change bathroom suites and light fittings, an easy update of accessories and colour will ensure the room stays on trend. When looking at design predictions for 2013 it’s clear that sleek modern lines together with a personal touch such as colour and accessories are key.

It’s no surprise that the majority of the water we use in the home is traceable to the bathroom, and subsequently, the majority of the water we waste in the home is traceable to the bathroom too! We’ve collated recent data and collected some of the best bathroom water saving tips to help you cut back on water wastage, save money on your water bill and promote a more economically friendly lifestyle in your home.

Floor tiles and wall tiles are a great way to make a statement. Mosaic tiles and scored tiles have had a revival in recent years and are being used to create glamorous feature walls, from the glitzy Dune Megalos Damasco Pure Golden to the more minimalist (but no less fabulous) AM Galaxy Black – both available from Tile Depot.

Wall tiles can make or break a bathroom. Whether they are contemporary and modern, or traditional and timeless, your tiles can have a much bigger impact than you realise. However, there is no reason to be alarmed by this revelation. Here at Bathshop321, we provide a number of top tips on the benefits of tiles for you and your bathroom.
