The bathroom may not be the room where people spend the most time in your house, but few would argue that it is not a necessity, so why not make it a bright and pleasant place to start your morning routine. Bathrooms with good design can make your morning routine faster and can set the tone for the decor of the home.

Picking the sanitary ware and bathroom accessories to suit the size of bathroom is of course essential. Larger areas can have the luxury of large designer shower enclosures or wet room, smaller rooms will perhaps take advantage of a ‘P’ shaped or square shower area in the bath, with a glass shower screen to provide an overbath shower. One of the many on offer at UK Bathrooms web pages is the Carron Quantum Shower Bath which is offered complete with shower screen. Carron Bathrooms have been at the forefront of bath design and manufacturing for over 20 years. During that time they have established a reputation for design and manufacturing excellence, making them Europe’s leading bath manufacturer.

If the bathroom is in need of some extra lighting there are lots of options for you to create your perfect bright and breezy bathroom. If you plan carefully you can turn your dark and dingy bathroom into a luxurious paradise in no time. It is important to note that conventional lighting should never be used in a bathroom. Even if you have found a brilliant stylish light that would look great in your bathroom, if it wasn’t intended for bathroom use it could prove fatal to household members if installed in a bathroom.

Use low voltage spotlights or down lighters on your ceiling. These work great with glass and water which makes them perfect for bathroom lighting. You can also fit these with a dimmer placed just outside the bathroom so you can control the intensity of the lighting. A great alternative is to use a motion sensor led light for that bathroom too; with these there is no need to wake the rest of the house at night with bright lights or the bathroom fan.  These automatically detect motion up to 10 feet and switch off after 30 seconds after last motion detection. Powered by 4 AA alkaline batteries with an average battery life of one year.

The shower is a crucial element to any bathroom and careful consideration needs to be taken in order to select the right shower for your bathroom. Take time to consider just how a new shower enclosure will fit into the space available and not just what fancy extra features it may have. Ensure that it will compliment the rest of your bathroom or en-suite area.

Budget has to play the most important impact on the type of shower enclosure that you will choose, but often it could be worth waiting for a few extra months to get the dream shower enclosure of your choice. Naturally we would all love luxury designer showers, large bath tubs, hot tubs and more in our bathroom but space restrictions and budget restrictions prevent us. You can still get a great shower for your bathroom though even if you are living on a budget. If you are installing a whole new bathroom or a new suite into an existing bathroom then make sure you plan the layout of your bathroom carefully. This will ensure that you get the most out of your bathroom space.
