Handmade Vanity Units at Bathrooms and More Store

Redecorating your bathroom can be a hugely challenging, yet satisfying task. With sanitary ware and many items of furniture all required to meet certain plumbing and electrical specifications, you may find yourself somewhat limited on where to install each piece. For this reason it’s highly important to choose the right items that not only complement each other, but also complement the space you’re working with.

 

One of the simplest ways to improve the overall appearance of your bathroom is by installing a modern, luxury vanity unit. These eye-catching wash stations represent the perfect mix of traditional and contemporary design, with units that are gorgeous, functional and durable. And when it comes to installing a new bathroom sink, nothing can have more of an impact than fitting one of the delightful handmade vanity units at Bathrooms and More Store.

 

 

Handmade vanity units at Bathrooms and More Store are constructed from solid oak cabinets, with finished wood or stone vanity tops. Mounted atop the units are stunning ceramic, glass or solid stone washbasins, as well as chrome mixer taps and pop-up plugs.

 

Bathroom vanity units come in various shapes in sizes ranging from large double basin units to compact versions for powder rooms, cloakrooms and small bathrooms. Each unit can be mixed and matched with your own choice of cabinet configuration (with draw and/or shelves), vanity top and washbasins, so you can customize your unit to suit your décor.

 

With spacious cabinets and ample countertop space, you’ll be able to store all your favorite bathroom products for easy access.

Antique Gems

There are certain antique pieces which can add a tremendous amount of character to your bathroom. It is recommended to keep the main functioning pieces of your bathroom new, such as piping and the structural pieces, to ensure that you are fitting pieces which will stand the test of time. This includes our basins & oak cupboard fittings, which you can find here.

However, adding character pieces such as chandeliers, can successfully bring a whole new element to the room. As seen in the image below, antique chandeliers look wonderful in the bathroom. Check the weight of these items to ensure safety and always check these items are appropriate for the space which is available to you.

Brass is a great way to add an antique feel to the bathroom. A popular look in Victorian era, this look can bring a feeling of nostalgia harking back to styles of other times. We love this vintage styling as it can add a great amount of character to the bathroom. Why not take design into your own hands and find interest pieces to really bring your bathroom to life.

Aged mirrors can look brilliant and add a focus to your room. Taps and faucets are a brilliant way to add interest. Certain modern pieces are designed to give a feel of the antique, when in fact they are new. Imitation antique is a brilliant and smart way to create the look with peace of mind that your products are new and in warranty etc.

Towel Radiators

As the weather is particularly cold at the moment, we’re drawn to looking at lovely heated towel rails. As we missed out on a white Christmas this year, it seems as though the snow is trying to take hold in January. So while it’s cold outside why not warm yourself through in a fragrant bubble bath. But, just to make the experience all the more special there’s something so lovely about stepping out a hot shower or bath, and wrapping yourself in a toasty towel. So, this week we’ve been looking at some of the nicest towel rails around.

Do you have a heated towel rail? We recommend investing in fitting one within your bathroom – you won’t look back! Not only do they heat your towel nicely, but they can also just be used for their initial radiator function and heat the whole room. Depending on your taste there are tall units, curved rails and retro designs available. Which style of unit will you choose?

Although one considered a luxury item, the heated towel rail is becoming a standard fitting in the modern family bathroom. Another fantastic feature of the heated towel radiator is their space saving qualities. As many of these products can be fitted on walls, rather than free-standing, this means that they are not taking up floor space of your bathroom. With many designs to select it can be tricky when deciding which option is right for you. So take a look at the different designs out there, to see which radiator will suit your home best!

Selecting your Bathroom Mirror

Most bathrooms in the home have mirrors, as that’s where we do our grooming. There are so many different stylings of mirrors to choose from, and we are about to guide through them.

Want to feel like a film star? Why not go for the showbiz style mirror which features light bulbs around the frame? This can give a glamorous effect to your bathroom and bring with it a hint of the theatrical. Go for this option and give your bathroom a Hollywood feel.

If you prefer something more traditional, then we would suggest one of our mirrors from our Atlas collection, the Atlas Solid Oak Furniture Landscape Portrait Mirror. The brilliant aspect of this mirror is that it can be displayed anywhere in the home.

Mirrored cabinets and cupboards are extremely popular in modern bathrooms as they have two functions. Makes getting ready in the morning simpler, as you have all of your toiletries in the same place. It is also a great money saving tool as it combines the two separate pieces of a mirror and a cupboard into one unit.

Round mirrors look fantastic in the bathroom, there are also oval shaped varieties available which are a popular choice. Oval designs can also add height to the mirror, and they can seem taller than the average round mirror.

Vanity mirrors are a popular choice in the bathroom for many reasons. You are able to move these objects around you home if needs be. Vanity mirrors can also be particularly handy in the home, if they are adjustable like the one showcased below.

Quick Ways to Update your Bathroom

There are many easy steps to take if you want to update your bathroom for the New Year. These ideas can really help you breath some fresh air into a room which you may have previously neglected.

As lots of time is spent in the living areas and bedrooms of our homes, we can tend to spend more time on updating those rooms and leaving the bathroom out. We want to change this as the bathroom should be well looked after. To completely relax in the bath we must be happy with the surroundings in the entire room.

Quick tips to update the bathroom are as follows:

Give a new coat of paint: Brighten up a dull space with a fresh coat of paint. Select a bold & bright colour to really grab your attention in the room.

Fit tiles: By changing tiles in your bathroom you can achieve a whole new look. By selecting panels of the room to tile you are saving yourself time & money by not covering the entire room. Adding tiling to one wall is a great way to achieve this.

New accessories: Updating your bathroom with accessories, ornaments and trinkets can give it a homely touch.

Add shelving: The walls of a bathroom can often be forgotten & toiletries can often build up around the bathtub, sink and cabinets. But if you were to install shelving this would make more space for your items & add interest to the walls.

So you do not always have to start all over again with the bathroom to make it fee new. Simply add extra touches & replace certain parts for a brand new feel. Lovely.
