Modern Marble

If you are looking to update your bathroom then there are many stylish ways which you can do so. However, this week we are focusing on marble! Marble is a beautiful way to remodel your bathroom, as the material can be used in many areas to create different effects. As seen in the image below from House to Home, marble can be used in both practical and decorative ways. Marble looks fantastic mounted into the wall next to the bath below, acting as both a piece of style and practicality. The block use of marble is a real statement within this room, yet it also protects the area from water spillage whilst acting as a shower head and tap holder – fantastic. The look is completed next to the classic dark wooden flooring, which we love!

There are lots of different colours which can be used when choosing marble. Shades of white, brown and black are the most popular choices. Although, there are more colours which can be used, but the colours listed above are chosen frequently as they match with most other bright colours which are popular within bathroom design.

If you want to be totally extravagant then you could have marble walls and floors installed! This gives a beautiful appearance to the entire bathroom and really gives the room a unique when feel compared with any other part of the home. Marble has an expensive appearance, which looks great next to chrome taps and shower fittings. So why not go marble? If you don’t want to use marble across your entire room then we have some fantastic basins to ease you in to this style, for example find our beautiful White Marble Bathroom Basin Tap & Plug choice (as seen above) here.

Our Walnut Wonders

This Mayan Walnut Furniture Nest Of Three Coffee Tables is great for utilising the space which is available to you. By choosing a nest of tables over one large table, you allow yourself more movement within your home. It is also a great way to keep your home tidy, as they sit away together rather nicely.

The Mayan Walnut Six Drawer Furniture Sideboard cupboard unit featured below is brilliant for any home. It sits comfortably next to your chosen wall, boasting six drawers! This gives you plenty of room for storage which is always useful. Having these drawers available to you is a much smarter way to keep your belongings together, rather than with the use of shelving. Shelves are exposed, and can be difficult to manage! Another great use for these drawers is that they can be used anywhere in the home, and will even look fantastic in a dining room, a living room or your bedroom.

If you are looking for that one, gorgeous, classic coffee table then look no further. our Shiro Walnut Medium Open Coffee Table is for you. The stunning quality of the wood will give your living room that special something that you have been looking for. You can find more from both of these walnut themed collections from our Shiro range, and also from the Mayan range across our website. Both of these collections are great for around the entire home. The products range across different designs for different rooms, and allow you to have a running theme which will tie the styling of your home together.

Black Basins

It is not often that you see a black basin in a bathroom. White, cream and ivory shades have often been popular in the home. The colour white is a crisp, clean tone which looks great, and is the most used colour in bathrooms. Due to its neutral colour white matches with any shade, this is why it’s a great choice when it comes to styling your home. However, black also matches with any shade, but it is not as common a choice of colour in the home. There may be a worry that choosing a dark colour for your home could diminish light, perhaps making a room or area feel less spacious. Although, if black is used well then it can give any bathroom a fantastic finish.

Rather than decorating the entire room in dark shades, you can add small pieces of black which will add a contemporary feel to your bathroom. Here are some brilliant examples of the effect in practice from our range. This lovely White Quartz Top With Black Ceramic Basin Choice will work as an interest piece in your home. There is a choice of basins with this offer which gives you a great choice of designs.

We also give you the option of chrome or wooden handles for the unit, so there are many variations of this set which you can create to best suit your taste. Go on, do something different, fit a black basin into your bathroom to create a look that will set you apart!

Our Vanity Furniture

We have a large range of vanity furniture to suit your bathroom. Our Mobel Solid Oak Bathroom Unit Small is a brilliant and beautiful way to store your cosmetics, cleaning products or towels and flannels. Depending on your storage needs this cupboard could be just right for you. The tall and thin design of the cupboard is great for small bathrooms. Looking into cupboards when you have a small bathroom can be tricky but this cupboard will solve your problems! The unit is not so small that it hinders what you can store but it does not take up masses of space either. The perfect space saving unit. We also have a larger and taller version of this so if you simply like the design of this cupboard but need more storage space then we can cater to you too.

This modern Mobel Solid Oak Laundry Bin is an incredibly efficient way to store your washing. The brilliance of this box is that it hides your laundry away tidily! The unit fits in well with bathrooms, or perhaps in another room, to give the old fashioned washing basket a contemporary and stylish feel. As you can see in the image below, it merges perfectly within a bathroom.

You could even function the basket as towel storage rather than a laundry bin, it really is up to you. You need not worry about your trapping your fingers in the wooden lid as it has a hydraulic damper to prevent this! It’s definitely the smartest laundry bin that we have seen, and a fantastic piece to add to any home.

Jacuzzi Baths

Now the Winter months are drawing in, and it’s becoming Winter jumper weather we all like to think back to the warmth and comfort of the Summer time. Perhaps you had a wonderful holiday, or you simply relaxed. Well, not to worry there are still ways that you can create that feeling of warmth, peace and serenity in your own home. Have you ever considered installing a jacuzzi bath?

There are many different styles of jacuzzi baths which you can fit. Adding a jacuzzi into your bathroom can give the space a grand focal point.
If you want to make a major change, then you could choose to fit the bath into surrounding tiles, so you really sink into the deep soaking water! These jacuzzi baths are also great for relaxing muscles, they can help to ease back pain and create the sensation of a massage.

Great tubs are available which have showers fitted onto the side, making sure you have everything you need on hand for an amazing bathing experience. These taps can come in different styles to add to your existing designs. We have selected some room designs for you, images via Josemarcio, to show how you can design different jacuzzi style baths into different sized rooms. Dependant on the size of the room which you have available, do not worry as there are many ways which you can incorporate the style which is right for you.

You could go for a bath which sits against the wall, or have a full corner unit installed, these are generally larger. Whatever size you decide on, a jacuzzi bath is a great way to add a touch of luxury to your home.

Enhance Your Hallway

The hallway can be easily disregarded as merely a place to hang coats, but you can design them into so much more. We have brilliant style and space saving ideas to help boost your hallway, and make it into much more than simply a space to pass through. Show your hallway some love by treating it to a make over!

We have some great products on offer which work to grow this space into much more than a walk way. This Atlas Solid Oak Furniture Storage Home Office Shelf allows you to display cute ornaments throughout your home. This discreet decoration will add a touch of comfort and finesse.

You could also store books which will give you a reason to stop and look at what’s in your hallway, rather than leaving it right away! Or, if you are growing tired of stumbling over shoes then this Mayan Walnut Furniture Shoe Cupboard Hall Storage unit could be for you.

The richness of this wood is beautiful, a classic way to store your footwear. Also, there is no need to worry if you have lots of shoes as this cupboard is designed to hold over 20 pairs!

Another smart way to update your hallway would be to add a mirror. This adds the illusion of more space, and our Mobel Oak Wall Mirror Medium is a great way to do so! This mirror is created from the highest quality oak and is part of our Mobel Oak range, which you can then add to, and spread this look throughout your home.
