The bathroom is one of the most important rooms in your home: it’s where you freshen up in the morning and also wind down after a long day at work. It’s not usually seen as a place that needs refurbishing and is often overlooked when focusing on updating the bedroom, kitchen or living room. Below, are products and accessories that can be easily updated or purchased on a budget, yet can refresh your bathroom quickly and simply.

Upcycle

Upcycling has been a huge trend in recent years, using accessories or tired pieces of furniture and re-vamping them for other areas of the house. From vintage basins to tea chests, there’s no end to the possibilities; it just depends on the skilfulness of your DIY! It’s also a great way to save money by not spending huge amounts on new products, but tweaking and transforming old things. If you have a little spare time, this is a brilliant way to update and save simultaneously.

Heated towel rails

The heating in your bathroom is sometimes forgotten about until the winter months arrive. Keep your bathroom snug all year round with a heated towel rail; an easy and quick addition that adds a new dynamic to the room. Trade Radiators have a wide variety of styles and sizes available, starting at affordable prices. A warm towel gives you that extra bit of comfort and pleasure that’s needed on a cold morning!

Greenery

Install hangers in your bathroom to suspend your favourite plants from above or add a few pots on the floor or shelves; they add colour and texture to the room. They’re a great environmental inclusion as well, balancing out humidity and absorbing airborne pollutants. They can often add a natural smell to the room, without spending on room sprays or air fresheners.

Rain shower

Upgrading your shower head is a quick and easy alteration to a very important fixture, that can change the look and feel of the room almost instantly. You won’t believe how much of a difference this small change can make to your shower experience!
