Be creative in your bathroom

Even though the bathroom may be one of the places that we may overlook when house improving it is most certainly one which we spend quite a lot of time in. When asked in surveys, people will say that a bathroom is the one room which can add the most value to a house and also the one that can make or break a house sale.

The bathroom is also a place where you can become a bit more creative with things like decor and it is well worth spending time and investing in a room which is not only functional, but a place for relaxation.

Now we know that most home owners, certainly over two thirds are DIY enthusiasts and love to improve their homes, more so now when moving is not the simple option it may once have been. So what are the things that a home improver can tackle without the need to call in a building contractor?

Firstly we wish to emphasise that anything that requires an electrical connection must be undertaken by a certified electrician. Plumbing work also may mean that you will have to call in a specialist, but doing something simple such as changing existing taps can be straightforward, even fitting a new wash basin can be achieved as long as the pipework does not need extensive re-routing.

However, if you are looking to give your bathroom a new look, repainting is sure to give it a fresh new appearance. Adding a mirror can also improve the way that a bathroom looks and by fitting two mirrors on opposite walls can give an impression of space, the hotel trick! Two HIB Lucy mirrors mounted vertically would be ideal for this.

For a small outlay you will soon have a new delightful new place to relax and of course admire.

HIB bathroom mirror cabinets

If there was just one thing that you could add to a bathroom which may have just had the essential sanitary ware replaced, we consider that the bathroom cabinet with a mirror would be essential.

The mirrored bathroom cabinet enables you to store all the essential items that are needed every day, such as shaving items, make up, and toiletries. A bathroom should be free from general clutter and the bathroom cabinet is the ideal place to ensure it is tidy. But, it can do more, such as having a mirror on the front for personal grooming. It also can have the function of being illuminated which means that you can see to shave or adjust make up and it also has the dual function of providing subtle lighting for the bathroom.

HIB has one of the largest and most exciting ranges of bathroom cabinets and the lighting that they offer many forms of lighting, down lighters, back lit and LED, the range is all embracing. The HIB Austin LED Illuminated Cabinet is just one from the range of 171 cabinets and mirrors that we display at our web pages. The Austin has modern back lit LED lighting which ensures low electricity consumption, whilst at the same time being very bright. The cabinet features soft closed doors and has good storage capacity being 630mm high, 500mm wide and a good 165 deep. Another advantage that we are offering on the HIB cabinet is free delivery, this on the top of our discounted price, which is 25% less than the recommended retail figure.

Change the look of your bathroom

Refreshing the look of your present bathroom does not have to involve replacing everything; it can be as simple as replacing tired items such as bathroom cabinets and mirrors also taking a close look at the lighting in the room, which can be a very cost effective way of giving it a new look. Changing your bathroom lighting can make a huge difference to the overall look of your bathroom, by simply changing the light fixtures your bathroom can appear modern and new.

This can be achieved by fitting one of the many illuminated bathroom mirrors and is a superb way of transforming your bathroom for low cost. The mirror will not only open up your bathroom but the lighting on the mirror will make it appear stylish and chic. Mirror lights for bathrooms are the perfect choice. For example the HIB Shavolite Frosted Glass Mirror Light can be positioned either horizontally or vertically and has a cleverly concealed chrome sliding cover, which hides the shaver socket on this stylish modern light.
