We have three different styles of bathroom scales, which are ideal for matching any bathroom setting.

Doctor’s Scales for the more traditional bathroom.

Bubbles Electronic Scales for the modern bathroom.

Round Mechanical Scales have a unique design that will match almost any bathroom design.





TV & Radio for the bathroom

19ea0.jpg19ea0.jpg

When using electrics in the bathroom we obviously have to take safety into consideration. We can’t just install any TV or radio near water, this is why we sell only high quality waterproof TVs and Radio systems.

The HD Ready 19″ Environvision Waterproof TV comes with all the features you’d expect from a modern flat screen TV, and is extremely easy to install.

The beauty of the Soundaround Radio System is that you don’t even know it’s there. All wires are hidden and the small speakers can be fitted anywhere, either in the ceiling or in furniture. 

Both the TV and radio are controlled by a waterproof remote control, so you can lie back and relax in the comfort of your bath while watching your favourite TV show or listening to the radio.




Countertops in the bathroom

Countertops in the bathroomBathroom countertops

Not only an integral part of modern kitchen designs, countertops are also hugely popular in contemporary bathrooms. Rather than opting for traditional basin and pedestals, the vast majority of bespoke bathrooms tailor towards countertop basins. Because of their unobtrusive styles and modern look the countertop basin is proving to be one of the most popular choices with wash area remodelling projects.

The countertop, on which to put the basin, comes in many styles, so you’re sure to find a finish that matches your existing bathroom. You will also find it easy to match these up with bathroom tiles, giving the whole wash area a sparkling new look.

Because of the ever increasing demand, we have added some new countertops to our store this week:

Warm beech 

Greystone

Bronze Alaska

Black Alaska

Black Granite

Arctic

Alabaster

Pearwood

Verdigris

Teracotta Granite




New Maple & Cherry bathroom furniture

Cherry bathroom furnitureCherry bathroom furniture

This week we have added some new ranges to our bathroom furniture category, both as complete combination sets and as stand alone vanity units.

Cherry furniture helps to give a warm, lived-in feel to the bathroom, making it ideal for country designs.  Also, with the right sanitary ware and accessories, cherry furniture can compliment a traditional Victorian style bathroom.

Maple, on the other hand, has a cool, cleaner look. Maple bathroom furniture is very popular with people who have always been accustomed to white in the bathroom, and who may feel a little apprehensive about using darker tones. Maple is also a good choice if wanting to create a Nordic style bathroom.

Windsor Furniture Set

Winchester Furniture Set

Plymouth Furniture Set

New Bathroom Tiles

tiles.jpgMalmo vanity unitThis month we are pleased to announce a whole new section to our online store - bathroom tiles. With twenty-four exciting new ranges from renowned tile manufacturers BCT (British Ceramic Tile), we can now offer the complete bathroom remodelling package.

BCT tiles are designed by UK designers who keep abreast of all the latest interior trends. This means that the tiles are easy to coordinate with the most popular modern bathroom items.

The BCT factory is on the site of the original Candy Tile Company in Devon, which was founded by Frank Candy in the 1860’s. Now, as then, the company uses only local raw materials of the finest quality to make their products. 

Each range is manufactured to stringent quality standards, which surpass the latest British and European regulations EN14411. The honeycomb back of the tile was specially developed to allow greater adhesion, and the tile corners are recessed slightly underneath for easier fixing. 

BCT strive to minimise their impact on the environment - by sourcing  raw materials locally helps to cut down on transport miles. They recycle as much water as they possibly can and make full use of rainwater collection. Their energy needs are significant but the plant is designed to minimise this as much as possible and they are aiming to cut energy use by 10% over the next 10 years in line with DETR targets. They also crush and recycle waste tiles back into the clay, and where possible use recycled card for packaging and recycle any waste card locally.

The factory uses Italian and Spanish technology to achieve high quality yields through a traditional twice fire process using the latest machinery available. Tiles are transported by robotic car technology and the glazing lines use a combination of a classic waterfall glaze technique and pattern applied by Rotocolor ™, which obtains a random pattern effect on field tiles and avoids the repeat that is prevalent with screen printing technology.

There are over 200 new tiles to choose from, which can all be found within the categories below:

Floor tiles
Borders & Inserts
Laura Ashley
Porcelain
Jazz
Carrara
Elgin
Design
Grosvenor
Metalli
Dartmoor
Tibet
Richmond
Modena
London
Glass
Chester
Lichfield
Vivaldi
Buxton
Ashbourne

Creating Space With Vanities In The Bathroom

malmo.jpgMalmo vanity unitHaving space in the bathroom is a very important factor that we all need to look into. This can be done with the help of vanities for the room. They are available on many online stores today, and will help you create the personal space that you need. You have various styles as well, which includes classic, contemporary etc.

Giving a brand new look to the bathroom can be done only with the installation of vanities. You will have to pick the right colors, so that it blends with the colors of the tiles as well as the wall. This doesn’t necessarily mean having the exact colours, but mixing ones that don’t clash. Creating the kind of space that you need for yourself is the most important factor that you will need to look into. While choosing and picking the vanities, make sure that they fit well, yet provide the space that you need.

Do not place anything in the middle of the bathroom, unless the space is large enough to hold the vanities. The finishing of the vanities should be looked at as well, as it should once again suit the look of the bathroom. The décor should remain good for several years, and thus keep the space that you want, to indulge in yourself.

By choosing the right vanities, you will not only create the space that you want, you will also keep the bathroom very elegant. The bathroom will come alive with style, and the tone of the designs will help you make the atmosphere very comfortable. Choosing quality vanities is important, as you will need to remodel the room the way you want it to be.

Besides the bathroom furniture providing good storage for you, it will also provide enjoyment as well as satisfaction. Now you can use the bathroom for your personal needs as much as you want, and for as long as you want. If the vanities are chosen well, then you will be the center of attention with everybody. Since there are a variety of materials with a vanity unit, you must take time to select the best.

When you look at the bathroom vanities, you will have to remember that they offer you something more than storage as well as space. It sets the tones of the bathroom in such a way, that it embodies your spirit. The feel of the bathroom itself will be overall different for usage. Decorating the room will be fun as well, as you can get very creative.

With vanities set in your bathroom, you need not cramp any other place of the house. You may store all your cosmetics as well as some clothes and other things in the cupboards that come with the sinks. Choosing the style of the bathroom should be very important, as it has to blend with your personality, and also make you feel comfortable.
