Terrific Tiles

So, last week we discussed how to update your bathroom via the flooring and kinds of materials which can be used in this area. So this week we are turning our attention to terrific tiles! Tiling is a great way to give extra detail to your bathroom. Mosaic style tiling is incredibly effective and gives an aura of expense and exclusivity

Some mosaic patterns can be difficult to achieve, as they can be both expensive and fiddly. These two problems combined can be extremely messy, time and money consuming. But, there is a solution to this problem. You can now purchase blocks of mosaic patterns which are the size of large tiles. This means that you can buy fewer tiles and spend less time fixing up your bathroom – which is great!

You could update your whole bathroom by tiling around the majority of your walls, or just tile certain parts. Perhaps you could tile 4 tiles up from your bath in colour. Or, just have a tile shower and if you have a separate bath with no shower attachment then you could leave you walls as they are, and simply decorate with art instead.

However you want to decorate your bathroom tiles is a sure and classic way to give your bathroom a homely and cosy feel – this is what most people want their bathroom to be like. There are many styles which you can approach in this area. So, then why not have a look through these pictures and see what ideas take your fancy!

Toilet Time

There are actually many rather nice toilets which can be fitted into your bathroom which aren’t too big or quite simply, plain. Many colours, styles and designs are available. You could install an extra bathroom in your house if you only have the one upstairs.

If you are working with a bathroom with an outdated toilet and you just want to focus on that one feature then it may be difficult to move it as bathrooms aren’t usually the biggest room of the house. But it is possible to slightly change you just must be prepared for this to be more of a costly procedure. So be careful when starting a job of this size as sometimes DIY projects can spiral out of control and go way over budget.

But you can get toilets easily now and they are more stylish than you would think. Most people keep up to date with their furnishings, their floors and colour schemes but why not update your toilet to create a different effect in your bathroom. Sinks and bath tubs are also updated more often than the toilet in a household. So see if there are ideas which you like here and take our advice on board when updating your bathroom.

So, take a look at visit some online services to help you find the shower of your dreams. After all, haven’t we all had those eureka moments whilst having our daily spruce?

Another problem with showers is the mildew and lime scale that collect on the top of them. Keeping your shower and shower head clean is a necessity, as we all know. But sometime it can prove difficult to stay on the top of due to the amounts of water which run through it on such a regular basis. Also if you have a large family then you will be using your shower many times over the course of just one day. A great way to solve these problems is to use a daily shower spray which will help to keep the grime at bay!
