Roll Top Baths, Which One?

Freestanding Roll Top Baths have graced the finest properties in the world for more than a century and are as iconic today as they were in the Victorian era.

Over the past few years the Bathroom Industry has seen massive technological advances, from high definition televisions to infra red saunas and state of the art steam cabinets. The authentic styling of the iconic Roll Top Freestanding Bath has withstood the test of time and aesthetically remains unchanged from the baths of the Victorian era. However there have been significant improvements within the manufacturing process with the robustness, durability and heat retention properties of the reproduction Roll Top Baths having been enhanced.

The twin skinned acrylic Roll Top Baths are predominately imported from the far east, they will typically be made from 3.8mm twin skinned acrylic with a resin infill at the base of the bath. The appearance of this type of bath will be similar to that of the twin skinned European baths. The advanced manufacturing methods and quality of workmanship in the far east as become superior to that of the europeans. Don’t make the mistake of associating quality with price! The lower cost chinese baths are often superior to the european baths and represent excellent value for money. Don’t be fooled by suppliers claiming that their baths are british made when the are actually made in china and assembled in the UK.

This freestanding corner bath available exclusively from Abstract Bathrooms, show’s how advanced the chinese manufacturing processe’s have become. This bath has been formed from one single sheet of 6mm acrylic.

 

This Traditional Bathroom Suite features stonecast resin roll top baths. This type of bath is made in the same way as the cast iron original roll top baths were made. These baths weigh approximately twice the weight of the acrylic roll top baths and they are very robust.

The most popular styles of traditional roll top baths are the slipper baths, the double ended baths the bateau baths and the boat baths. All of the aforementioned baths originate from France and are as desirable now as they were when they were first developed.

The Slipper Bath

The slipper bath (also known as the sabbot bath) is charecterised by having a raised back, available in sizes from 1550mm to 1750mm in both twin skinned acrylic and stone cast resin. A minimilist, no tap hole version of this bath is now available from Abstract Bathrooms.

The slipper bath featured below is the twin skinned acrylic balmoral roll top bath.

The Double Ended Bath

The Double Ended Roll Top Bath, as do so many other classical freestanding baths, originates from France. Also known as a lovers bath the larger examples of this bath can accomodate two people. When choosing a Double Ended Roll Top Bath the important charecteristics of the baths are the ornateness of the legs, the detailed ball and claw leg would command a higher price should the bath ever be resold. The width and curvature of the roll and the proportions of the bath. Some of the best examples of the orginal baths can be found at the Water Monopoly Of London and Drummonds Architectural Salvage.

The double ended roll top bath featured below is the twin skinned acrylic balmoral roll top bath.

Free Standing Baths

Free Standing Baths and Roll Top Baths.  What’s the Difference?

 Luxury free standing roll top baths have adorned the finest properties in the world since the 18th Century. The  Paris Bath Collection by Abstract Bathrooms combines authentic period styling with the latest production techniques, to satisfy the modern lifestyle.

The inspirational Ultimate Bath Collection from Abstract Bathrooms has become the benchmark for the bathroom industry. These superb ultra minimalist, design lead, contemporary free standing baths are made from 8mm reinforced acrylic and are finished to exacting standards.

When choosing a reproduction roll top bath there are some general rules that apply to each individual bath. The majority of people that buy a reproduction traditional free standing roll top bath are trying to restore their period properties back to there former glory. The baths usually fall in to one of two categories, either British or French. The styling of the reproduction baths are derived from the original baths, a typical British bath would be single ended ( taps at one end ), the roll of the bath on the more grandiose baths would be anywhere between 4″ and 7″ and would be a major factor when purchasing one of the original baths. The feet of the baths were not as ornate as the French baths, although a nice ball and claw foot or lions paw foot was commonplace. There are some fantastic examples of these original roll top baths at companies like the Water Monopoly of London and Drummonds of London. The original baths were made from cast iron, and vitreous enamelled at more than 800 degrees centigrade. This service is still available through unique enamelling services of Ribchester in Lancashire. The French baths were and still are the Crème de la crème of free standing baths. The original French roll top baths are smaller than the British baths as the French were a smaller race than the British. The bath legs on the French baths are design classics, with wonderfully ornate detail. The best examples of these rare baths are usually found in the French Châteaus or in our own British stately homes. Wentworth Woodhouse a privately owned stately home in South Yorkshire, England , houses a fabulous collection of original baths that have been sympathetically restored by Traditional Bathrooms Limited.

The same principles apply when choosing your reproduction free standing bath. Is the bath right for the property? The proportions of the bath, how it stands, the symmetry of the bath, the ornateness of the legs. The roll widths on the reproduction baths aren’t as wide as the originals as the acrylic tries to go back into it’s original form and can cause delamination. 

Traditional Roll Top Free Standing Baths – Types And Styles

Single Ended Roll Top Baths

British baths with  tap holes at one end of the bath. The original baths were between 5 foot and 8 foot in length either parallel or tapered ( like a coffin in shape) the larger single ended roll top baths were used as shower baths also known as Canopy Baths and Plunger Baths . These baths are probably the most comfortable of all roll top baths.

A good example of the reproduction bath would be the Oxford Single Ended Bath made by Qulaceram this example is made from twin skinned acrylic and is sandwich filled with resin throughout the cavity.

Roll Top Slipper Bath

French style baths originally this type of bath didn’t have legs and sat straight on the floor. The bathing position of this bath is more upright than that of a single ended bath. Good examples of this bath are the Tiffany Slipper Bath from Qualceram a superb bath made from stone cast resin with an inner skin of 5mm acrylic.  A  less expensive option would be the Balmoral Slipper Bath from the Paris Collection by Abstract Bathrooms. This bath is made from twin skinned 5mm acrylic and is reinforced at the base. Don’t confuse this bath with similar looking baths as this bath has a superior specification.

Roll Top Double Ended BathsFrench in it’s origin although there are British an American versions. The original French Baths are easily distinguishable as they didn’t have any tap holes. The Paris Bath from Traditional Bathrooms Limited is a superb bath made from stone cast resin with an inner skin of 5mm acrylic and the most fantastic bath legs you are ever likely to see.  The less expensive option would be the Balmoral Double Ended Bath from the Paris Collection byAbstract Bathrooms. This bath is made from twin skinned 5mm acrylic and is reinforced at the base. Don’t confuse this bath with similar looking baths as this bath has a superior specification. Unusually this bath is available in a 1500mm size.

Roll Top Bateau And Boat Baths

The epitome of French design flair and possibly the most stylish baths ever made. The first examples of these stunning baths were developed by Jacob Delafon of Paris the original baths sell for thousands of pounds and are as popular now as they were when they were first developed circa 1850 to 1900. The reproduction baths are available with or without legs, the best examples of the bateau baths on legs are the Paris Bateau bath from Abstract Bathrooms be sure to choose a bath without tap holes for that authentic look. The Boat baths sit on an integral plinth and go right to the floor. Although a little expensive the boat bath from the Clearwater-Collection is a faithful reproduction of the original boat bath with the Abstract Bathrooms boat bath been a better value bath.  These baths are at home in both contemporary and traditional settings as there style transcends decades of interior design genres.

Choosing The Perfect Bathroom Suite

Bathrooms Bathroom Suites Luxury Bathroom Design

Bathroom Suite Replacement
Bathroom Suite replacement can be one of the best and most cost effective ways to add value to your property. Even the most grandiose bathrooms can still be affordable. The UK bathroom market has seen massive changes over the last few years. The decline of the UK manufacturing base has resulted in a shift towards manufacturing in the far east, with China now accounting for approximately 90% of the worlds bathroom production. When it comes to choosing your bathroom suite, we would advocate not to take into account the origin of the products. The important things are the styling and the quality of the products. As with most goods you will still have to pay more for luxury branding even though they are probably made by the same people in the same factories from the same materials. The cheap imports and competetive market forces have seen the price of UK bathroom suites reach an all time low. Traditional Bathrooms Limited and their subsiduary company Abstract Bathrooms source direct and sell direct to the end user. 

Bathroom Budgets
Both new builds and bathroom suite replacement require careful planning. It is important to set a realistic budget and contingency plan. There are thousands of bathroom suppliers, products, styles to choose from all with differnet features and benefits. We advocate involving the plumber from the start of the project as they will be able to advise on the likely cost of the installation, be mindful that the plumber may want to do what’s best from a plumbing point of view and regardless of the aesthetics of the bathroom. One of the generally accepted principles of bathroom design is that you don’t relocate the toilet as to move the soil stack can be very labour intensive. There are design tools available for basic planning. Bathroom brochures and magazines are a great way of getting some ideas and inspiration. Once you have decided on your bathroom design the purchase of the bathroom suite is the easy part of the job. The important things to consider are the quality, length of warranty, availability and of course the cost. Traditional Bathrooms Limited and Abstract Bathrooms offer free bathroom brochure packs and expert impartial advice.

Bathroom Restoration Advice From The BBC

Bathroom Advice From The BBC

Next to kitchens, bathrooms tend to be the most expensive rooms in a house to renovate, as they require specialised trade services such as plumbing, tiling, and electrical work. Even when buying a house or apartment that has already had a lick of paint and a few ‘renovations’ applied to bedrooms, hallways and living rooms, the kitchen and bathroom have probably been left untouched, or may not suit your discerning sense of taste and style.

This is a guide to doing a bathroom ‘on the cheap’ without it looking cheap.

Step One: Avoiding Major Costs

Take a good look at your bathroom. You may not like where the bath is, or wish the shower was just ‘a couple of inches to the left’. Take a deep breath and toss away any grand plans to move any of these fixtures (toilet, bidet, basin, bath and shower), as the biggest budget-buster in a bathroom renovation is plumbing work.

Unless your layout is absolutely and completely unlivable (which is a matter of opinion), ditch any ideas of moving anything that’s connected to water or waste pipes.

The second way to keep those costs down is adhering to the ‘KISS’ principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid!).

For example, options for daggy or dark tiles include buying tiles and hiring a tiler (expensive) or choosing a product to paint over the tiles to give them a fresh look. If your budget is already straining under a mortgage, it is advisable to choose the latter.

A product called Tub ‘n’ Tile does this job nicely, consising of a two part epoxy resin that simply gets painted over tiles to produce a brilliant, porcelain finish. The only drawback is it currently only comes in two colours: white or vanilla. This limits decor choices, but also helps in sticking to the KISS principle.

Similarly, replacing unsightly floor tiles, which cannot be painted with the epoxy resin and require heavier tiles than walls, is another budget blow out. Consider taking the option of laying down bathroom carpet, which is rubber-backed and made from nylon. This works when the shower has a screen that prevents water splashing over the floor and making the carpet soggy. If this does not apply, perhaps making room in the budget for good quality floor tiles may be the only option.

Step Two: Preparation

There is simply no good substitute for preparation when it comes to renovations. Unfortunately, this is the most tedious and thankless part of the process.

Unless you are an exemplary house cleaner, the bathroom will have a build-up of grime from soaps, body fats and other dirt in those hard-to-reach places.

Before considering painting or applying a product such as Tub ‘n’ Tile, it is essential to get rid of this build-up from any surfaces which are going to be revamped.

Preparation includes sugar soaping the walls and ceilings to be painted, bleaching any mould spots that have accumulated and sanding all surfaces to be rejuvenated.

Another area of preparation is covering any taps, pipes and cornices you don’t want paint splashed over with easy-to-remove masking tape. Also removing any items to be replaced, such as cabinets, tapware, etc.

Also, wash down all surfaces to ensure they are free from dust before painting.

Step Three: Painting Surfaces

Measure wall surfaces in square metres/feet and consult your local paint distributor for the required amount of paint². You will also need to measure the surface area of tiles to be covered, to determine how many packets of Tub ‘n’ Tile are needed – local variants may differ in instructions and quantities.

Start by painting the ceiling, then come down to the wall surfaces. Give both two coats of paint and allow to dry. This may take longer if the weather is humid or raining, as more time between coats may be necessary.

Applying the Tub ‘n’ Tile product will take much longer because each tile needs to be painted individually to achieve the best effect. But the result is worth it; the tiles (and bathtub/basin) will have a gleaming, pristine porcelain finish.

Step Four: Decorations

A stark white bathroom suite is all very well for minimalists, but some need a bit of colour in their life. Instead of replacing a row of tiles with feature border, consider purchasing tile transfers that you can simply place over tiles to act as decorative features.

Another idea to add colour to a bathroom is stenciling a border around the walls.

After applying the tile transfers, and while waiting for those to dry, cut the carpet to size leaving holes for pipes.

Laying bathroom carpet is simply a matter of laying it straight over the floor tiles. If you want it to be semi-permanent, double-sided tape takes care of this.

Step Five: Installing Accessories, Tapware and Extractor Fans

After waiting the required time for all surfaces to dry and seal, now comes the fun part: dressing up your bathroom suites. This includes installing any new cabinets, towel rails, soap holders and tapware you may have bought.

It may be possible to buy all the accessories from the same hardware supermarket as the paint and Tub ‘n’ Tile products. More and more of these are springing up everywhere, with competitive prices that reflect the growing trend in DIY.

Finally, if you do not already have an extractor fan (the absence of which would have contributed to any mould on ceilings and walls) it would be wise to purchase and install one now. Unless your country has restrictions on wiring up appliances like these, you may need to hire an electrician. Or perhaps you are lucky enough to have one in the family…

Qualceram In Buyout Bid

By John Mulligan

Friday March 21 2008

Arklow-based bathrooms and bathrooms suites firm Qualceram Shires could be valued at as much as €25m if a preliminary approach made towards the company leads to an offer.

Releasing disappointing preliminary results for 2007 yesterday, Qualceram said it had received the approach from a third-party and stressed that no offer might ultimately be made.

Three directors at the firm, including chief executive John O’Loughlin, who own almost 40pc of the company between them, are not involved in the approach, which is understood to have been made by an industry player from outside the country. One name touted yesterday was American Standard, a supplier of kitchen and bathroom accessories.

However, sources were at a loss to pinpoint a potential interested party, pointing out that Qualceram has evolved into much more of a distributor than manufacturer, and as such it was difficult to ascertain where the appeal in the company might be. The firm has already disposed of its Arklow site for over €30m.

Qualceram said yesterday 2007 revenues fell 12pc to €90m, while operating profit for the year slumped €3m to €1.1m. It said annualised cost savings introduced since the start of 2008, and accrued for in 2007, amount to €3m.

Mr O’Loughlin said that management is confident Qualceram can weather the downturn and emerge as a “stronger group, positioned for growth”.

Qualceram has been hammered by the slump in residential construction in Ireland, where it generates about 45pc of its sales. Most of the remainder comes from the UK.

One analyst said while the downturn in Qualceram’s sales in the Republic were to be expected, the extent of the poor second-half performance in the UK was less anticipated.

Mr O’Loughlin, sales and marketing director John Byrne, and production and technical director Thomas Byrne, each own almost 14pc of Qualceram.

They could be in line for a payment of up to €3.5m each if an offer was secured at €1.13 per share, although such a figure could be impacted by a writedown of intangible assets.

The stock closed the day yesterday at €1, up just over 2pc.

About Bathroom Taps

When people consider bathroom taps there are the bathroom taps for the basin and the bathroom taps for the bath. Starting with the bathroom taps for basins there are many designs of single bathroom taps that range from the classic retro look of bathroom taps to ultra modern and sophisticated bathroom taps. There are also very stylish mixer bathroom taps that also come in all shapes and sizes including very tall bathroom taps to a variety of mixer bathroom taps that are sited for all sizes of basin including very small basins in confined spaces. The choice of mixer bathroom taps is quite considerable so whatever the style of basin and bathroom there are sure to be designs of mixer bathroom taps that are in the right style.

There are also, of course, wonderful bathroom taps for baths, and they too come in classic retro designs with two single bathroom taps. More popular are the mixer bathroom taps which come in a great choice of designs and sizes and the mixer bathroom taps are often complemented by a shower hose and a shower head. The shower hose attached to mixer bathroom taps is perfect for washing and rinsing hair and for washing around a bathe. For people who like to shower rather than have a bath then the mix bathroom taps can be complemented by a shower screen or shower curtain. The important thing to remember about bathroom taps is that the choice and size of bathroom taps is quite considerable and it is wise to have a similar style of bathroom taps for the bathroom taps on the basin and the bathroom taps on the bath. For people who do not like turning on bathroom taps there are bathroom taps with simple levers that are very easy to use especially with soapy hands.

Bath taps for a bath as opposed to taps for a bathroom are widely available with or without a shower attachment. Classic bath taps are where there are two entirely separate bath taps, with one of the bath taps specifically for the hot water and the other of the bath taps specifically for the cold water. Needless to say, but separate bath taps come in numerous designs from the four-arm period look of bath taps to the simple lever-lift style of bath taps. Within those two basic designs of bath taps there are many design variations so the choice is quite amazing. Mixer bath taps are probably more popular these days as mixer bath taps do help to prevent people from being scolded by very hot water. There are some wonderful designs of mixer bath taps available with some designs of bath taps looking stunningly sophisticated and futuristic. Many mixer bath taps have shower attachments so that with the aid of a shower curtain or a shower screen the bath can also double as a shower. Of course, mixer bath taps are very useful for washing hair while sitting in the bath and for washing round the bath rim after a bath. Ultimately, there are three basic types of bath taps. There are the two single bath taps which often are in a retro style of bath taps. More popular of the modern style of bath taps are the mixer bath taps and the mixer bath taps with a shower attachment. Which ever sort of bath taps you are searching for you will find all manor of styles and designs that will complement any decor.

Bathroom Suites

Bathroom Suites Can Increase The Value Of your Property

Like many people, you may be looking to sell up and move house. If so, you’ll want to ensure you give yourself the best possible chance of receiving or even exceeding the asking price for your current property.

Today’s housing market is notoriously unpredictable, and the possibilities of receiving a bid that matches or exceeds the value of your property can be impossible to attain, unless you are offering potential buyers exactly what they are looking for. For example, a poorly decorated room or a cluttered garden can often be enough to put off many people from considering an offer for your home. You might already be aware that certain areas of your house could benefit from being spruced up, but you simply can’t afford the outlay required to renovate them. As a result, the offending room is often left in its existing condition or in some cases, additional furniture might be utilised to hide the room’s shortcomings.

Unfortunately, either approach might well end up costing you money; perhaps damaging the potential value of your property, or your finances might have to take the additional strain of purchasing additional furniture. However, neither scenario needs to occur, especially if the difficulties are being caused by your bathroom. As the bathroom is the most visited room in the house, it is crucial that this room most impresses the buyer. If you have lived in your existing property for a number of years, there’s a good chance that your bathroom will have remained the same since you first moved in. You might well think that having a green sink and toilet is the norm, but beware – there is nothing that will put off a potential buyer more than matching coloured sanitary-ware in a bathroom! Combine this with a dull, grey bath and you are asking for trouble.

Potential buyers have their own ideas with regards to their perfect bathroom. Factors such as floor and storage space; a clean, modern or traditional white bathroom suite with chrome fittings, and a simple layout with a choice of facilities are just some of the things people look for.

Taste is a matter of individual choice, but generally speaking, as long as your bathroom has clean, bright fixtures and fittings, a potential buyer will go away without having to worry about completely ripping out the bathroom and starting from scratch. By giving them something to work with, you are significantly increasing your chances of selling the property.

Achieving the above is not an expensive task. Complete bathroom suites, including a basin, toilet and standard-sized bath can be purchased for under £250. Taps to fit these fixtures can also be purchased for well under £100 – with some online companies offering a basin tap and a bath shower mixer tap for only £85. Fitting a new bathroom can increase the value of your house significantly. By investing £300 on your bathroom, you could well see a return worth up to 10 times more being added to the value of your property.

If you’re looking to sell your house over the next few weeks or months, make sure you take a good look around; even invite a neighbour round to gauge their opinion before you put your home on the property market. Remember, a green bathroom might be gorgeous to you, but to a potential buyer, it won’t be so.

Functional Bathroom Suites

Functional Bathroom Suite

Today’s lifestyles and modern homes incorporate not only functional and decorative kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms but also bathroom suites. Advancement and innovations in the design and functionality of modern home appliances are such that even bathrooms share in the benefits and improvement greatly.

From the once lowly outhouse of old to the one-bathroom house to the small but wonderful powder room, today’s houses have advanced to having more than one bathroom and least one bathroom suite. This gradual transformation from having a simple bath room to having a bathroom suite in most of today’s houses is reflected as well in TV programs that are dedicated to one specific area of the home and the bathroom.

Watching home improvement programs will give you a lot of ideas on how to create your very own bathroom suite that suits your personal taste and preference. It is not surprising any more that most of today’s bathroom suites rival the comforts of the bedroom or the living room since most people seek comfort and relaxation whenever they use their bathrooms.

Today’s homeowners have a broader selection of bathroom suites to choose from, ranging from contemporary and traditional designs to modern and futuristic versions. You can decide to make your new bathroom suite minimalist, traditional or Victorian. With imagination, creativity, colour coordination and planning any homeowner can achieve a clean, inviting, comfortable and refreshing atmosphere as the ambience for a bathroom suite.

If you are planning to upgrade your current bathroom and turn it into a bathroom suite, there are plenty options at your disposal. You can either choose to rummage at antique stores to get period pieces or buy modern but traditional bathroom equipment which you can combine or mix and match to achieve old world ambience but with modern amenities that can turn your old bathroom into a suite. You can choose to install either a claw-foot tub or free-standing tub which includes whirlpool jets and other modern amenities that will surely make your bathroom suite look old world with very modern.

There are several options people can choose from when planning to build a bathroom suite. You can browse several sites on the Internet dedicated to the refurbishing and remodelling of bathrooms and choose the style that fits your budget requirements. If budget is not an issue, then building a bathroom suite becomes less of a problem. The only constraints would be space and plumbing issues which may pose a problem.

Whichever way you decide to go to have your own bathroom suite, the best way to go about it is to check out home improvement centres, ask people who have bathroom suites who did it for them and best of all, search for easily modifiable plans on the Internet to keep your costs down and have as much fun in building it and at the same time avoid unnecessary costs.

Today’s households incorporate a bathroom suite where you can relax and unwind as you go about your personal cleanliness activities. Mix old-world style with modern amenities for elegance and flair!

Choosing Bathroom Suites

Bathroom Suite

Choosing a bathroom suite will in the end come down to the shape and size of your bathroom. It doesn’t have to be a large area, even those with the simplest and smallest of bathrooms can add a few unique features and generate something to delight and take pride in. A bathroom is a room to take pride in; with a little personal touch the right bathroom suite for you will mean life becoming more relaxing and convenient.

If you are out of ideas have a good look around and don’t make a hasty decision. Interior design magazines often have a section on bathroom suites or home and living type magazines will supply you with different types of suites. A visit to the local DIY or bathroom showroom will give you some inspiration too and there is always the Internet for stores worldwide with plenty of ideas.

A bathroom suite has to fit your lifestyle. a suite; don’t just choose one because you like it! It has to fit around the requirements of everyone else living in the house too. If you have children or older parents living with you they will have wildly differing needs to a young couple. Also take under consideration the style and period of the rest of the house and select something that will fit in with its surroundings. If your house is Victorian then an ultra modern look won’t suit, visa versa, a new apartment with a Victorian bathroom might look out of place.

Before you go searching the stores for a bathroom, measure the room first and draw up a plan as the type of suites you look at will be dictated by the size and shape of your bathroom. The type of suite you like might not fit well into the space you have, so this is important to check.

Taking everyone’s needs into consideration is vital, even when it comes down to the flooring and wall coverings. Tiles on the floor will be easy to wash down but could be slippery for children and a bath might prove complicated for an older couple with mobility problems, a shower would be far more convenient.

Pick out the features you like about your current bathroom and those you want to remove. Would you prefer a bath or a shower, or is the bathroom large enough to house both? It is important you take under consideration the number of people who will be using the bathroom, their ages and particular needs.

You are not stuck with the current layout of the bathroom. There might in most cases be a better option or a space that isn’t used effectively that could be improved. Just don’t forget to make a careful research before making any big decisions as changes to the plumbing and plastering work can be costly.

A new bathroom will update and give your bathroom a whole new modern look. Depending on the look you want to achieve, bathroom suites can be found in contemporary, modern or traditional styles. If your house style is Victorian a traditional bathroom will probably be a good choice, choose a decorative basin and pedestal sink for an antique look. If you live in a modern apartment, you might want to go with a contemporary style with simple clean lines.

Money will in most cases have the final say when it comes to house renovations. You can find many modern bathroom suites that look good and in the same time low in price these days. And if you want to go with the traditional look, try scouring the antique warehouses for second hand original pieces.

Bathroom taps can be durable and last for many years to come if you pick the right one. A fashionable, popular look this year can quickly look outdated next year. Classic designs and simple lines will last you for a lot longer. Of course if you have unlimited money and you like to keep up with the latest trends and fashions then you can always redecorate again in a few years time.

Your choice of bathroom will be individual to you as everyone has different tastes and ideas. Make a research by looking through design magazines, bathroom showrooms and online and you’ll soon find inspiration and be ready to go. Choose a bathroom suite to fit your needs and requirements, add a touch of luxury and you will have the perfect bathroom suite.

Bathroom Design

The bathroom has come along way in the past one hundred years. Once just a basic tub set in front of the living room fire and filled with buckets of water, the bathing experience is now a luxury in almost every western home. Back then, a “bathroom” was something only the wealthy and privileged could afford to have in their house. It was this trend which lead to the mass production of bathroom products.

If your house style is Victorian a traditional bathroom will probably be a good choice, choose a decorative basin and pedestal sink for an antique look. If you live in a modern apartment, you might want to go with a contemporary style with simple clean lines.

Money will in most cases have the final say when it comes to house renovations. You can find many modern bathroom suites that look good and in the same time low in price these days. And if you want to go with the traditional look, try scouring the antique warehouses for second hand original pieces.

Bathroom taps can be durable and last for many years to come if you pick the right one. A fashionable, popular look this year can quickly look outdated next year. Classic designs and simple lines will last you for a lot longer. Of course if you have unlimited money and you like to keep up with the latest trends and fashions then you can always redecorate again in a few years time.

Your choice of bathroom will be individual to you as everyone has different tastes and ideas. Make a research by looking through design magazines, bathroom showrooms and online and you’ll soon find inspiration and be ready to go. Choose a bathroom suite to fit your needs and requirements, add a touch of luxury and you will have the perfect bathroom suite.
