One of the most popular places to install a shower into your bathroom is within a recessed wall. This is because an enclosure has already been created within 3 solid walls. This means all you need is a glass door and shower tray making it more cost effective.

The most common door options for a recessed space are a hinged, sliding, bi-fold or pivot and you can have the option between right or left entry, depending on your personal preference.

Corner Walk-in Smoked Glass Enclosure

Looking for an enclosure you can hide away in the corner or against a single wall? Then a corner enclosure just might be what you’re looking for.

Corner walk-in showers are the perfect option for anyone trying to save space in their bathroom or en-suite. As the name suggests, corner enclosures effortlessly fit into the corner of your room with doors designed to slide to either side; thus creating an easy access entry area to get in and out of the shower.

Novalé’s Trend Predictions for Sydney Bathroom Renovations in 2022

Novalé’s Trend Predictions for Sydney Bathroom Renovations in 2022

As we rapidly enter the new year, it’s time for Novalé’s collection of what we think will trend in 2022 bathroom renovations Sydney!

After a year of tremendous upheaval and spending more time than ever before inside our houses, many Australians are seeking new methods to improve their home living conditions. As a result, gone are the days where bathrooms were viewed as merely functional; bathrooms are now gaining sanctuary status among Australians.

Bathrooms have evolved into joyful atmospheres — a secure haven not only for fast showers helping us dash out the door in the morning – but a space where household members can recharge. Bathroom renovation consumers are more imaginative, and they want to envision their bathrooms as a day spa or even a boutique hideaway.

Therefore, bathroom renovations in Sydney have become high on the average homeowner’s to-do list. However, this process can be overwhelming, but as expert bathroom renovators, here are our eight predictions for the most popular bathroom renovation trends for 2022 to help inspire your upcoming bathroom renovation in Sydney.

Modern bathroom design ideas can transform a functional space into a stylish oasis of leisure. Just adding a few creative touches from this list can add individuality to any bathroom renovations Sydney!

 

Towel Racks with a Twist

Who doesn’t love a toasty warm towel? A heated towel rail not only offers this luxury, but it also helps keep your bathroom hygienic as dry towels keep germs and mould at bay.

Heated towel racks are still considered a functional necessity in any modern bathroom renovation Sydney but are now becoming an aesthetic highlight too!

For example, the vertical towel rail design is starting to emerge in Australian bathrooms! At first look, these vertical rails may appear to be nothing more than a conventional towel rack flipped on its axis, so how can they give any advantages over, say, a regular bathroom hook?

The benefit of vertical rails is that, while they do not have the physical spread of a standard towel rack, they are usually heated! They also conserve space, so if you don’t have enough wall space for the amount of towel rails you need, the vertical towel rail is an excellent alternative for a tighter space. Even in larger spaces, the vertical rail offers a more contemporary look.

Pro tip: to establish cohesion in your bathroom renovation Sydney, make sure your towel rail is the same colour as your tapware.

 

 

Organic Features

From bathroom lighting, wall mirrors, and bathroom fixtures, curves and circular forms will dominate architectural interiors and define the current bathroom design trends.

Without harsh architecture and straight angles, spheres and egg-shaped designs introduce the organic form into bathrooms and expand the possibilities for bathroom renovations Sydney in 2022.

As the ultimate symbol of self-care in the bathroom, free-standing bathtubs will also adapt the organic shapes!

 

Wet Rooms and Large Showers

According to reputable bathroom renovators, shower areas are becoming larger, making bathrooms appear larger and more elegant. A walk-in shower gives a unified flow across a large bathroom, and the best part is that they are easier to clean because there are no doors and wide glass panels. Removing the shower curtain also makes extra space in your bathroom appear less crowded and more open.

We’re also seeing more “wet rooms” in 2022, where the bath and shower are combined into one enormous, tiled area. The wet room in this Five Dock Bathroom Renovation introduces a sense of luxury to the rather urban look. A showstopper on its own, the wet area is also complemented by an almost full-length niche…WOW!

 

 

Penny Round Tiles

Penny round tiles – also known as mosaic tiles – is a collection of porcelain glazed or glass mosaic tiles that come in various colours and gloss or matte finishes. Porcelain penny round mosaic tiles offers not only exceptional visual appeal but also an excellent medium for slippery surfaces or heavy foot traffic areas.

Great for floors, walls and features, penny round tiles add gorgeous texture and a whole new depth to any space. As they vary in colour, they often look as though they were handmade. In this instance, perfect for the rawness of a boho mood.

Hot tip: create an ultra-bold and striking look with contrasting grout, framing the coloured mosaic tiles. There are no restrictions on how you may utilise mosaic feature tiles in your bathroom with skilled bathroom renovators, so evaluate what works best for your bathroom renovation design and personality!

 

 

Wall Sconces

While few wall sconces are bright enough to provide overall ambient light in a room alone, installing multiple sconces around the room or having one as a focal point can be a beautiful and dramatic bathroom renovation Sydney feature. While two sconces placed on either side of a vanity offer asymmetrical balance, statement wall scones above the vanity mirror not only makes a dramatic focal point but also evenly light the face and mirror, removing shadows.

 

Glass Basins

Not as fragile as they sound, glass basins are easy to clean. You only need a soft cloth and some warm water to wash away soap scum, toothpaste marks, and other stains that accumulate in the bathroom over time. Glass basins are available in various shapes, sizes, and finishes – from boxy squares, rectangles with flared edges, nature-inspired shapes, and even creative, swooping sculptures.

 

 

Warm Tones Over Cool Tones

Sydney bathroom renovations in 2022 will be decorated with warm earthy tones such as terracotta, green, and slate. These hues are well-known for generating a calm, peaceful, and pleasant atmosphere. Instead of using brightly coloured tiles or strong furnishings, try incorporating textures or accents of these colour palettes into your stylings, such as rugs or towels.

Wood tones will also be present as they do a terrific job of warming up a space and transforming it from stark white to something with some life in it. These muted hues and tones will be hugely popular for bathroom renovations Sydney 2022 creates magnificent nature-inspired designs.

 

Green and Gold Pairings

Green is the calming colour of rejuvenation, so it’s an excellent choice for bathroom renovations Sydney. Pair green with the warm tons of gold, and you have an enchanting and vibrant space. Brushed gold tapware and accessories are a lovely way to introduce warmth to a space, lending itself to a natural or modern mood.

Using the warm tones of gold and green is a luxurious addition that will add a touch of glamour and make any bathroom pop. Vivid colours are a great way to let your personality shine in your bathroom space. Something as simple as a coloured tile on a feature wall or bold coloured towels or accessories are enough to keep the balance right and not overwhelm the rest of the space just like in this Bateau Bay Bathroom Renovation.

The Importance Of Cleaning Bathmats

The Importance Of Cleaning Bathmats

>41% of Brits go two weeks or longer until cleaning their bathmat

Only 25% frequently clean this household item as recommended by experts

Brits Admit To Never Cleaning Their Bathmats

Hot baths are a luxury this time of year, but while you are enjoying a relaxing soak you could be forgetting about the not-so-luxurious bacteria build up on your bathmat.

We polled the nation on their cleaning habits and found that almost half of Brits neglect their bathmat, waiting up to two weeks or even longer until they clean it.

A further 13% clean their bathmat only a few times a year and 5% clean theirs only once.

Women in the UK are more likely to clean their bathmat, with 15% doing it twice a week compared to only 10% of men doing the same.

The Hidden Dangers In Your Bathmat

We spoke with home cleaning expert Belinda Everingham to highlight the hidden dangers in a bathroom and provide a simple cleaning guide for bathmats.

Bathmats are a breeding ground for nasty bacteria in the bathroom.

You should aim to clean it once a week at least, depending on how often it is used.

Clung to floors, mats have no way of circulating air or drying off and this will create moisture and result in a build-up of mildew and mould.

“Always remember to regularly clean frequently used bathroom items such as bathmats and towels, as well as highly touched surfaces. These are often the dirtiest places in bathrooms, where germs can be spread.

Belinda Everingham – Bondi wash

Step-By-Step Guide To Cleaner Bathmats

1 – Check The Care Tag

a hand holding a care label on a bathmat

Before any washing, check the care tag.

This will ensure that you treat and clean the mat correctly, depending on the guidance given for the materials used in the product.

2 – Shake It Off

Not only do mats soak up moisture and steam but they also gather dust, dirt and hair.

Shaking  the bathmat before washing is imperative to remove any unwanted debris and avoid clogging up washing machines later on.

If the mat has a rubber side to it, consider using a cloth on this area to pull away any other visible grime.

A vacuum can also be used for day-to-day maintenance- a quick once over will keep on top of your mats between deep cleans.

3 – Put It In The Washing Machine

When using the washing machine for this item, use a warm setting as opposed to hot.

This will be cool enough to prevent discolouration and hot enough to kill any bacteria.

Use your favourite smelling washing detergent and add in baking soda. Half a cup should be fine.

This will help to eradicate odours, brighten colours, and reduce bacteria.

Adding lavender can also help maintain freshness and aid in reducing mildew.

Never overload the washer. Wash one mat at a time and never with other fabrics such as towels, as there is a risk that bacteria could transfer from one material to another.

4 – Hang It Out To Dry

When hanging out a mat to dry, opt for an outside location if possible.

The breeze will prevent any matting together of the material so that it can dry completely before placing back in the bathroom.

If you are lucky enough for some winter sun, this will also help kill any remaining particles.

5 – Ongoing Bathmat Care

Choose an appropriate bathmat.

There are a range of styles and materials out there and some are easier to clean than others.

A regular cotton mat is one of the easiest to maintain.

Keep a few bathmats handy so that while one is washing and drying you have some replacements.

This will prompt you to clean them more often and reduce the risk of bacteria build up in your bathroom.

How Do You Keep Your Bathmat Clean?

Our research suggests that there are a plethora of ways that people clean their bathmats (or don’t), but what do you do to stave off bathroom bacteria?

If you have any tricks and tips on keeping a bathmat clean, let us know in the comments below.

Excellence In Ensuite Bathroom Ideas

Stellar Ensuite Design Options To Upgrade Any Home

Ensuite bathrooms typically represent a much used, private haven within a home. And as such, they should be moulded into an image reflective of the homeowner’s personal taste and requirements.

Typically compact, ensuite bathrooms provide a perfect area in which to express some creative license as it pertains to interior design, and implement whatever sort of aesthetic takes your fancy – no matter how outlandish it might be.

In this blog, we’ll discuss some stellar ensuite bathroom ideas that can help transform your ensuite into one of the most stylish rooms in the entire home, in spite of a likely diminutive size.

From a variety of colour options to storage hacks, fixtures, fittings and layout recommendations, we’re brimming with suggestions to enhance ensuite bathroom suites to the fullest extent…

Ensuite Bathroom Layout Ideas

The very first thing to consider when plotting your ensuite bathroom ideas is the actual layout of the space, accounting for helpful storage hacks and basic thoughts on the way the room will be styled.

You’ll need to think about which fixtures and bathroom furniture you deem as essential inclusions. For instance, it is highly unlikely that a typical ensuite bathroom size will be able to accommodate a freestanding bathtub. So you might instead have your heart set on a corner shower cubicle.

Door projections inwards and outwards, and how they will impact on essential surrounding fittings such as the toilet or sink are also key elements to keep in mind. Perhaps wall hung toilets or short projection models should be sourced in especially compact ensuite areas.

And see if there’s any way to maximize space by capitalising on unique storage solutions – negating the presence of a bathroom cabinet to fit shelving in a small alcove could be one such stylish, easily implementable means for doing so. Or seek out further inspiration in our blog, 12 Bathroom Storage Ideas For Small Spaces.

Ensuite Bathroom Colour Ideas

Again, the colour scheme of an ensuite bathroom should ultimately line up in accordance with personal preferences. But it would be remiss of us not to mention the general uplift the presence of bright, light tones can bring to the space in general.

Darker or harsher, bolder shades and striking patterns don’t tend to work so well in small ensuite bathrooms especially. So unless you’re decorating a particularly large ensuite room, it is recommended that these types of hues are restricted to the flooring only, if used at all.

Pastel tones and creamy colours are superb interior colour options to really open up the space, especially for an ensuite bathroom in which the infiltration of natural light is at a premium. These sort of shades will reflect any incoming light extremely well.

Whatever colour décor you do opt for, it is imperative to team similar tones together in most ensuite bathroom interiors. Sharp colour contrasts can draw the walls in and make the room appear cluttered, as opposed to the light and airy feel provided by bright, consistent colour combinations.

Furthermore, calmer hues are more likely to better complement the main features of the ensuite, unless black bathroom accessories and other darker fixtures dominate the space.

Best Bathroom Furniture Picks For Ensuite Bathrooms

Milano Lurus Oak 400mm Compact Wall Hung Cloakroom Vanity Unit w/ Basin

It’s been alluded to earlier in the blog, but the role that wall mounted bathroom furniture can play in maximizing space in a bathroom ensuite cannot be underestimated.

The likes of wall hung bathroom vanities are a particularly excellent ensuite vice, teaming impressive aesthetics with immense functionality – a basin meshes seamlessly with effective bathroom storage in one streamlined component.

What’s more, the finish of so many of these type of units will serve to complement the overall interior scheme of an ensuite bathroom. Light oaks, subtle anthracites and glossy whites all prominently feature within a multitude of cloakroom vanity unit ranges.

Outside of main furniture stylings like vanities, toilets and basins, other less essential elements can prove a crucial factor in implementing stylish ensuite bathroom ideas successfully.

Think items such as bathroom mirrors and even smaller, accentuating bathroom accessories (more later) that can deliver a subtle enhancement to the overall ensuite scheme. Chrome accessories are pretty much a failsafe option, and their reflective finish can combine well with light and airy colour themes in modern and traditional ensuite bathrooms alike.

Whatever you do select, it’s again crucial to keep the harmony in terms of your overall colour scheme and surrounding fixtures and fittings, rather than introducing harsh contrast tones.

Get Wise To Accessorize An Ensuite Bathroom

Milano Bexley Light Oak Modern Wall Hung Mirror 700mm x 500mm

After briefly touching on the importance accessories can play in an ensuite bathroom, we can explain in a little more detail why they can represent such a vital element, even in comparison with dominant and more sizeable fittings.

For such a typically restricted space especially, less can indeed be more, and the minute details can actually catch the eye more than larger components.

Plus, that creative license we initially harped on about can perhaps be exercised to a greater extent with accentuating items, rather than with bigger, more obvious defining fixtures. Even the likes of toilet roll holders can make a huge difference, as explained in greater detail in our blog, How To Choose The Right Toilet Roll Holder.

As well as items such as these and accompanying bathroom essentials like toothbrush holders and soap dishes meanwhile, other items can add subtle style to the space, even if they aren’t necessarily ‘household’ bathroom additions.

Bathroom plants housed in snazzy vases, flower arrangements and candles all offer an excellent means to make an ensuite bathroom feel a lot more homely, for instance. They’ll especially serve to upgrade ensuites with a classic, rustic vibe, and those that lean into cottagecore design elements.

And the complementary features of key fittings cannot be dismissed either. Think taps and toilet seats as they pertain to the basin or toilet you have installed, or are planning to fit within an ensuite bathroom.

Crucially, as aforementioned, less is more, so be sure not to overdo it in terms of introducing accessories. You want to retain a spacious, airy feel to the room (even if space is at a premium) as opposed to making the area appear cluttered or too busy.

World Toilet Day 2021 – Valuing Toilets

World Toilet Day 2021 – Valuing Toilets

The Toilet. It’s something we never give a second thought. But for 40% of the world’s population, which equivalates to a staggering 4.5 billion people, are without this basic luxury that we first world countries take for granted. Those who are aren’t lucky enough to have access to a toilet struggle to stay healthy, keep their children alive and work their way to a better future.

What is World Toilet Day?

World Toilet Day Official Logo

This year, we celebrate 20 years since World Toilet Day was founded in 2001. The day brings global attention to the sanitisation crisis, that In 2013, the United Nations General Assembly officially designated the 19th of November as World Toilet Day. the Sustainable Development Goals include a target to ensure everyone, everywhere has access to toilets by the year 2030, making sanitation a global development priority.

Over the years this dedicated day has garnered support from the international social community and highlighted how toilets play a crucial role in creating a strong economy, as well as improving health and protecting people’s safety and dignity.

World Toilet Day
Making a difference, together.

This year’s theme is about valuing toilets. The campaign draws attention to the fact that toilets – and the sanitation systems that support them – are underfunded, poorly managed or neglected in many parts of the world, with devastating consequences for health, economics and the environment, particularly in the poorest and most marginalized communities.

Why Is World Toilet Day So Important?

Third world 'Toilet' facilities

Poor toilet conditions

The toilet is far more important than we think and an essential tool, in order to live a healthier and cleaner lifestyle.

Here’s some shocking facts that drive home the privilege of having access to clean and safe toilet facilities.

297,000 children- that’s more than 800 everyday, tragically die every year from diarrhoeal disease due to poor sanitation, poor hygiene, or unsafe drinking water. These horrifying numbers are from WHO 2019 and are preventable.  Almost half of the schools in the world do not have handwashing facilities with soap and water. Studies have shown that clean and safe toilet facilities help to increase school attendance, especially in girls. Meaning, that poor toilet conditions are why many girls miss out on education.4.2 billion people lack safe sanitisation and globally, 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces. Resulting in disease and illness.Over the past 200 years, toilets have added twenty years to the human lifespan.

What Can We Do To Help?

The best way to support World Toilet Day is by supporting locally driven organisations that are deeply rooted in their communities. Worldtoiletday.org is a vetted, high-impact non-profit organisation, working to provide greater access to toilets, clean water and improve sanitation.

Ways you can get involved with the movement according to worldtoiletday.org :

1. Do a ‘Big Squat’ 

Hold a big squat and raise awareness of the more than 1 billion people who face the indignity of open defecation, which spreads diseases including cholera, typhoid, hepatitis and diarrhoea.

The idea is to stop, drop, squat and share! Get friends, colleagues, classmates, or family together, invite people in the local community and squat in a public place. Take photos or video, and remember to share them on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook or Twitter. Use the hashtags #bigsquat, #worldtoiletday and #opendefecation.

2. Share Far & Wide

Access to sanitation would make life safer and healthier for 1.25 billion women. Join the global movement for toilets and sanitation for all, and raise awareness by posting on Facebook, Instagram, or Tweeting this World Toilet Day.

Show that you care about toilets and sanitation and raise your voice to call for action. Use the following hashtags #wecantwait #worldtoiletday #opendefecation #sanitation 

spread awareness for world toilet day

3. Become a Toilet Advocate 

Clean and safe toilets are fundamental for health, dignity, privacy, equality and education.

You can try and contact your local representative, community leader or member of parliament and let them know you care about public toilets in your area.

Think about if your town needs new public toilets? Are the toilets safe and accessible, clean and well-maintained? Is there an appropriate ratio of toilets for men and women? Talk toilets with your local representative today. 

Make a stance for world toilet day

4. Toilet Selfie 

Did you know that more people own a mobile phone than have access to a toilet? Worldtoilet.org want you to think about how lucky you are when you visit the toilet and want you to snap a #toiletselfie and share It on your social accounts – remember to keep it clean and make your message clear.

Let your friends know they’re lucky if they have access to a toilet and encourage them to join the sanitation movement.

5. Invest in Toilets and Sanitation For All

One third of the world’s population still lacks access to adequate sanitation. Donate to support the work of the World Toilet Organization at worldtoilet.org and your donation will go towards advocacy and awareness, and to support capacity building and social enterprise sanitation projects in Cambodia, India, and Mozambique.

Donate to world toilet day org

6. Learn 

Did you know that toilets and sanitation are considered a human right? In 2010, the UN General Assembly recognised sanitation and water as a human right, essential to the full enjoyment of life and all other human rights. Visit World Toilet Organization’s website worldtoilet.org and the UN World Toilet Day website unwater.org/worldtoiletday to learn about the sanitation crisis and how you can get involved. 

7. Tell The World What You’re Doing 

How will you commemorate UN World Toilet Day on 19 November? Join the call for action to end the sanitation crisis on UN World Toilet Day and share what you’re doing. Reply to @worldtoilet and @UN_Water on Twitter or email [email protected]. Some of the best activities will be featured on the World Toilet Day website and in World Toilet Organization’s social media.

How To Choose The Right Toilet Roll Holder

How To Choose The Right Toilet Roll Holder

Selecting The Perfect Toilet Roll Holder For Your Bathroom

For many a medial task around the home, and all sorts of DIY jobs, the mantra “don’t sweat the small stuff” is a popular and applicable phrase to follow.

But when it comes to bathroom upgrades, even the smallest of details can make a huge difference to the overall aesthetic of the space, especially in what tends to be one of the more compact rooms in the home.

In this blog, we’ll focus on one such minute finishing touch in the form of a toilet roll holder, and explain what aspects to consider to ensure you make the right choice for your bathroom or en-suite specifically.

Choosing Your Toilet Roll Holder Design

The very first element to think about when shopping toilet roll holders will be the actual design profile. Traditionally, wall mounted toilet roll holders have comfortably proved to be the most frequently found style on the market and typically most sought after as well.

However, there’s a plethora of freestanding toilet roll holder models on the market now as well. And these present an especially tempting proposition for a clean modern bathroom finish, with no requirement for the wall to be drilled into.

Often, in the case of free standing toilet roll holders, the component itself will feature added storage options for a convenient bathroom solution. For instance, plenty of freestanding designs will incorporate multiple tiers for the housing of toilet brushes, toothpastes, shampoos, shower gels, towels and more.

Personal preference of course provides the basis for which sort of toilet roll holder you opt for, but spatial factors, the size and layout of the bathroom will too play a big role in determining whether a wall mounted or freestanding model is best.

Picking A Toilet Roll Holder Finish

In relation to all sorts of bathroom accessories, and fixtures and fittings in general, chrome finishes reign supreme as the overwhelmingly most popular style available. But with that said, it can pay off to make a bold colour selection for your toilet roll holder that departs from tradition to an extent.

Essentially, you’ll be keen to source a component reflective of the overall bathroom style, and that meshes well with the existing interior scheme (or the one you’re introducing in the case of a full bathroom refurbishment).

Many contemporary bathroom upgrades will adopt darker contrast schemes, such as anthracite greys and whites, whilst black bathroom accessories have also enjoyed a rapid rise to prominence in correlation with noir shades becoming a notable modern bathroom trend.

You might opt for a matching black toilet roll holder to accompany something like the Milano Nero toilet set, for example, or choose to select a sharply opposite finish, depending on what you’re looking to achieve. You might draw some inspiration from our blog on 6 Future Proof Bathroom Colour Ideas.

And if all else fails, chrome toilet roll holders offer an excellent ‘safety net’ that will match up with almost any sort of décor. The same can virtually be said of wooden toilet roll holders too, though these would tend to feature within traditionally themed bathrooms almost exclusively.

Free Or Fixed Toilet Roll Holders?

The majority of toilet roll holders incorporate a simple design for ease of usability, allowing for the toilet roll to comfortably slip on and off the primary arm.

But, especially in family households where young children and/or pets present, a fixed toilet roll holder might prove a better bet. Typically, these models are wall mounted, and secured in full via a spring mechanism.

Their profile works to stop the toilet roll from being accidentally removed and, in a potentially far more irritating and troublesome scenario, falling into the toilet itself to cause a blockage.

Be sure to take into account the type of bathroom wall you’ll need to drill into if opting for a fixed wall mounted toilet roll holder as well. The likes of bricks and plasterboard present a fairly simple installation proposition, but tiled walls typically require more intrusive fittings.

Or, for a left-field solution, you can seek out a wall mounted toilet roll holder that attaches to the wall by alternate means, such as suction sticking or by being glued.

Where To Fit Your Toilet Roll Holder

When you’ve identified the perfect type, style and colour toilet roll holder, you can begin to think about the ideal positioning for the component.

Consider who uses the bathroom with regularity – will any and all children in the household be able to comfortably reach it? Is it at a comfortable height for any elderly guests to use? Can you yourself get by frequently using the holder without doing yourself a mischief?

The key is to ensure the toilet roll holder is easily and comfortably accessible from a seated spot. And, somewhat obviously, it should be free from any obtrusive bathroom furniture or potentially dangerous fixtures like heated towel rails or designer radiators.

How’s It Hanging?

Which way you’ll actually hang your toilet roll holder is one of the final decisions to make, and might be one sub-consciously assisted in accordance with some of your personality traits.

Originally, the very first toilet roll holders were designed with the loose end of the toilet roll to be facing the front. So by rights, that’s the correct way to go about their installation.

But in reality, personal preference should take charge when you select which direction the holder will be located.

So will you conform to the norm and have the toilet roll facing outwards from the front, or go against the system by having the roll go against the wall? The choice is yours.

In 2019 Becca & Jordan bought their first home – a beautiful semi-detached bungalow. For the last two years they have been slowly gutting, renovating and grafting to turn an outdated home into their dream pad.

Just wait until you see you the before & after shots – wow!

‘Originally, the bungalow had pink and green carpets with a salmon bathroom that needed MAJOR modernisation’ said Becca. 

Think 1980’s salmon bathroom carpets, brown toilet seats and floral tiles and you’d have the perfect image of Becca’s old bathroom.

‘The main bathroom was the last room we had left to tackle before completing the inside of our now beautiful home’.

Becca and Jordan started the main bathroom renovation process in February, earlier this year. Eager to get rid of the Grandma inspired bathroom, the couple gutted the space and happily waved goodbye to the aged salmon suite.

We have been lucky enough to work with Becca on this beautiful renovation, so we took some time to ask her a few questions about the process.

Q: Where Did You Start When Renovating Your Bathroom?

‘As we have an en suite, we decided to renovate this first – at the time it was more affordable to re-do than our main bathroom. So, that was one of the first rooms we renovated. We continued to use the en-suite as our main bathroom throughout the renovation. We had to live with our main bathroom, in it’s salmon condition for over a year whilst we saved money!’

Q: If Any, What Money Saving Advice Would You Give?

‘My top tip for saving money when renovating a bathroom, is to try to keep the layout the same as the original layout. It becomes quite costly when you start moving the bath, toilet or sink as it means extra plumbing costs!’


Becca decided to keep the existing layout and look at how incredible different the room looks.

Q: Did You Enjoy The Renovation Process?

‘We loved the renovation process. I find that bathrooms are the hardest room to design, as the decisions are so permanent compared to choosing a paint colour or accessories! That being said, now that it’s finished I am absolutely in love with it and it’s now up there with one of our favourite rooms.’


Becca’s soft, wholesome decor and thoughtful layout looks gorgeous

Q: If Anything, What Part Of The Bathroom Would You Say People Should Always Invest In?

‘I would suggest investing in a good shower and bath. It’s something that you will use the most and over the years have a lot of wear and tear, so it’s worth spending a bit extra so it’s powerful and long lasting.’

Q: What Is Your Favourite Thing About Your New Suite?

‘100% the vanity unit! I absolutely love it and want to take it with us to our next home!’

Showers vs Baths: Is Water Wastage A Generational Issue?

Showers vs Baths: Is Water Wastage A Generational Issue?

Which Generation Use The Most Water In Bathing And Showering?

The environmental impact of water usage might be just about the only facet of the showers vs baths debate we’ve yet to wade into, so we’ve decided to put that right in this blog.

More specifically, we’ll focus on research concerning contrasting age demographics, and look to decipher whether excessive water usage could present a burgeoning problem amongst the younger generation moving forwards.

We’ll explain which age ranges prefer taking showers to baths, and which brackets will tend to spend longer than is perhaps absolutely necessary when indulging in either vice. In turn, how the related excess water use could have a negative environmental influence.

Do Showers Or Baths Use More Water?

In basic theory, you can imagine that showers would use more water than baths, considering the constant flow in opposition with a filled tub that doesn’t require any top up.

However, a number of factors are at play that can swing the pendulum in the other direction. Not least, the size of the bathtub in question, and the amount of time the user chooses to spend engulfed in the refreshing deluge of a shower system. The specific shower model’s flow rate is another element to consider as well.

The likes of traditional freestanding baths, for instance, often incorporate a wealthier surface area than a number of modern bathtubs, or alternative designs such as corner baths. And as a result, they’ll usually accommodate more water.

Similarly so, a multitude of modern showers will provide superior flow rate in contrast with other styles, providing refreshing full body coverage but also using plenty more water in a shorter space of time.

Ultimately then, there’s no real definitive answer without taking into account the aforementioned elements and their opposing values.

Generally speaking though, it is thought that a 10-minute shower will use significantly less water than a soak in the tub would. Standard showers are thought to use around 2.5 gallons of water per minute, whilst a large freestanding bath might require the distribution of up to 70 gallons in total.

Which Age Ranges Prefer Baths Over Showers?

According to our research, with a sample size of 1000, it’s actually the middle aged to older generation that prefer to take a bath as opposed to a shower.

42.7% of 55-64 year-olds questioned said they preferred to climb into the tub, with the next highest percentage of bath preferring folk (40.4%) stemming from the 35-44 year-old age bracket.

But whilst there’s a correlation between the same age ranges spending longer in the bath on average, there’s little to suggest that extra water is being wasted in comparison with those who don’t soak for quite as long. Of course, the bathtub will typically be filled up initially, so no requirement usually exists to top up the levels after entrance.

That said, the 6.5% of 55-64 year-olds admitting to bathing for in excess of an hour at a time could need to replenish the reservoir they’re sat in after a while. And the same goes for the 5.2% of 25-34 year-olds who also answered that they soaked for 60 minutes plus.

Meanwhile, that same latter category produced significantly the highest percentage of those surveyed to bathe for up to 40 minutes (17.4%), suggesting that there could be some truth to the notion that the younger crop are somewhat prone to a touch of water wastage.

What do the shower statistics say though?

Which Age Ranges Prefer Showers Over Baths?

The youngest age range surveyed were the very most receptive to the idea of taking a shower over a bath, with a whopping 69.2% of 18-24 year-olds asked preferring the shorter and sharper blasts of a typical shower system.

However, of that same age bracket, just 4.3% said they spent five minutes or less within their shower, with a majority 40.4% taking between five and 10 minutes to shower.

Incidentally, that timing spectrum was by far the most popular showering length amongst all demographics on the whole, with 45-54 year-olds the most dominant in the category – 53.8% of the range said they showered for more than five minutes and less than 10.

What is particularly notable though, is that of each of the three youngest age brackets would appear to be far more in favour of longer showers when lined up against the older three age categories.

More than a third of all respondents aged between 18 and 44 said they spend a minimum of 10 minutes in the shower, whilst 22.1% was the highest percentage that answered the same of the eldest three age ranges (55-64 year-olds).

Plus, 16% was the lowest total of the youngest three categories that explained a preference for showering for up to 20 minutes. By contrast, 7.1% was the highest amount of any of the three eldest groups to mirror that shower ‘speed’.

And practically every person who admitted to showering for 25 minutes or longer hailed from the initial three age brackets too. Just 0.6% of people over 45 said they spend so long in the shower, with the 25-34 age range flying the flag for excessive shower stints – their 4.6% to stick around for 25 minutes or more was the highest of all those surveyed.

So Who Wastes The Most Water?

All in all, based on the data we’ve garnered from a sizeable enough sample, it seems the blame can be shared to some extent.

Although the older generation would seem to prefer the water-sapping confines of a bathtub more so than the younger clan we questioned, it seems the shower-mad youngsters are prone to spending an excessive amount of time in their enclosures.

The fact that 5-10 minutes was the most popular shower duration amongst all those questioned is encouraging overall, and surely in most circumstances, a shower doesn’t really need to go too far past the 10 minute, and 25 gallon mark.

But why are we harping on about water wastage anyway, I hear you ask?

How Does Water Wastage Impact The Environment?

There are anthropocentric, biocentric and ecocentric reasons to preserve water supplies as and when possible, with no drawbacks to any of them.

nthropocentric

Basically, freshwater supplies are limited in several countries all around the world, with 36 nations listed as being in an ‘extremely high stress’ situation as it pertains to clean H20.

The UK itself is currently at a ‘low/medium’ stress level, and only continued efforts to preserve supplies where possible can ensure it continues to maintain that status.

Crops, plants, commercial prospects and in turn, the livelihoods of certain people can all be put at risk by the unnecessary wastage of water in extreme examples.

And we’re more prone than most areas to using water unnecessarily too, considering how easy it is to take for granted the presence of taps and shower systems that can literally offer fresh water at the twist of a handle or touch of a button.

From a more selfish aspect, using excessive levels of water both domestically and in a business sense can lead to unwanted added energy bills, and a greater budgetary strain.

Biocentric

Put simply, a biocentric viewpoint is one that sees humans as no more important than any other living organisms on the planet. Essentially, every living thing exists within the same ecosystem, and the sharing of the same resources is vital to each of them.

As alluded to in our anthropocentric explanation, several countries struggle in terms of their freshwater supply, and several species of animals and plants suffer as a result.

And given the integrity of so many animals and plants to the environment and the cyclical way the world works, the needless wasting of water represents an extremely narrow-minded practice in the grand scheme of things.

All in all, frequent excess water wastage can lead to animal species heading towards extinction, with a lack of water also detrimentally affecting plantations from growing as they should, as well as a far less ready supply of available drinking water.

Ecocentric

The ecocentric point of view is not too dissimilar to the biocentric one described – it promotes the idea that the earth, its ecosystem and everything contained are equally as important as each other.

Accounting for an enhancing global population, the demand for freshwater is at the highest level ever, and in turn, fresh water needs to be sourced from alternative means such as ground water and aquifers.

These methods take much longer than usual as the extraction rate is far exceeded by the regeneration rate, further exemplifying why avoidable water wastage is just that – avoided.

Ultimately, the unsustainable nature of these water sourcing processes can see added carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere on the back of filtration, extraction and transportation processes. And as a result, our carbon footprint is further solidified, assisting an increase of the earth’s temperatures on the whole.

“Do You Want It After Me?” – Who Does & Who Doesn’t Share The Bath Water?

“Do You Want It After Me?” – Who Does & Who Doesn’t Share The Bath Water?

Coronation Street fans took to Twitter last night to express their horror and despair at street favourite Tyrone, as he asked his partner Alina a very contentious question.

After discussing the whereabouts of a Weatherfield teddy bear – that was bought for their unborn child – the Corrie stalwart said “do you want it after me?” when referring to the bath water he was just about to lie in! 

This sparked a furious debate on Twitter and beyond, with many people left reeling at the thought of Alina sharing Tyrone’s bath water.

https://twitter.com/audsgreene/status/1420472890819072006>

But, taking a dip in the tub after your partner isn’t as uncommon as you think! 

In a recent survey, we found that almost 1-in-5 of 35-44 year olds (Tyrone’s age group) actually shared their bath water regularly. 

The figures drop off for younger (18-24) and elderly age groups (65+) – but it would seem sharing the bath water is not as uncommon as the Twittersphere would have us believe.

Why Share The Bath Water?

There could be several reasons for sharing a bath with your partner. 

There’s the obvious romantic evening you could enjoy with a glass or two of the bubbly stuff.

But we think Tyrone’s approach is more about saving on the water bill and that he is perhaps a little more water conscious than we give him credit for!

So, to find out who WILL and who WILL NOT sit in someone else’s muck – we asked the residents of 15 cities in the UK & Northern Ireland who does – and who doesn’t – share a bath!

Who Is Sharing Bath Water?

As Weatherfield is a suburb of the great city of Manchester, it would be remiss of us to start anywhere else. 

And, it would appear that Tyrone is not alone on the bath sharing idea, as 21.3% of those Mancunians polled said they had no issue with sharing their bath time. 

However, it was Belfast that came out on top – by a solitary 0.1% – as 21.4% of those asked in Northern Ireland said they were happy to “dip in” after their partners.

Who Isn’t Sharing Bath Water?

Those UK residents sharing the sentiments of many a Corrie fan – and who are not too happy to jump in someone else’s filth – are the people of Edinburgh; with just 4.5% of those polled saying they are happy to share the tub. 

Elsewhere, Scousers & Nottinghamians are not big fans of their partners’ leftover bath water either, with just 7% of Liverpudlians and 6.6% of Nottingham residents sharing a bath.

So, who loves a bath share and who doesn’t? 

Check out the graphic below to see which age groups love a shared bath.

And discover which cities residents are not averse to dipping their toes – and everything else – in their beloved’s leftover bath water!

 Do You Share Your Bath Water?

How do you feel about sharing your bath water with your partner? 

Is it something you do to save water, or for some other reason? 

Let us know if you support Tyrone’s stance on your partner jumping in the bath after you, and tell us if you’re #TeamBath or #TeamShower!

9 Reasons You Need To Shower In The Morning

9 Reasons You Need To Shower In The Morning

What Makes An A.M Shower An Essential Vice?

As a broad generalization, two main profiles exist as it pertains to those who take showers on a daily basis – people who hit the shower in the morning and those who prefer to cleanse in the evening.

For those that tend to go for the latter option, the main reasons typically relate to feelings of relaxation and hoping to unwind after a long or stressful day. The morning showerers are usually seeking a refreshing boost to awaken the senses, and kick off their day in an invigorating fashion.

But, do the benefits of one shower routine outweigh those associated with the other?

The title of our blog has probably already indicated so, and the rest of this article will cover the numerous health advantages that would appear to set morning showers apart…

1. Improved Skin Condition

From a general perspective, showers are beneficial with regards to skin health. But morning showers are actually considered to be more advantageous.

Indeed, a shower taken early doors is a greater help in combating acne, and also in terms of balancing the natural oils on the skin.

2. Ease Stress And Anxiety

Woman taking a shower

Plenty of people experience the sensation of early-morning stress and anxiety, often linked to the prospect of the multitude of tasks that will populate the day ahead.

A morning shower offers an excellent means to tackle this stress, especially in the case of lukewarm or cold showers, as explained in greater detail on our blog – Cold Shower vs Hot Shower: What Are The Benefits?

Simply put, morning showers guarantee your body receives the oxygen it requires. Sufficient oxygen presence in the brain will help you to de-stress, no matter how busy your day ahead might be.

3. Enhanced Immunity

The immune system can be enhanced by morning showers, which will stimulate the body to produce new white blood cells. These cells are then used to help fight off illness.

Our biological clock represents the reasoning for this process only occurring to a significant extent during morning showers.

4. Cough Relief

As well as improving immunity from sickness to begin with, morning showers also provide a superb vice to relieve any existing colds or coughs.

In such a condition, phlegm and mucus can build up in the throat and chest areas overnight, making for an uncomfortable morning experience battling a sore throat and persistent cough.

With a hot morning shower, the emanating steam will loosen up these unwanted substances and help to clear your sinuses and enable you to feel much more comfortable in very little time.

For the very best effect, indulge in an aromatherapy shower with the use of scented shower gels and eucalyptus oils, accentuated by the full coverage provided by a modern shower system.

5. Boosted Energy

Probably the most simple reason on the list. Morning showers represent a preferable choice for many due to the sense of rejuvenation they provide.

All in all, they deliver the perfect refreshing energy boost to kick start your day, preparing you in earnest for whatever tasks lie ahead.

6. Rids The Body Of Toxins

A multitude of toxins emerge from the skin whilst we sweat during sleeping overnight. And these same toxins can even formulate whilst relaxing in the high temperature surrounds of a home bathtub, for instance.

Morning showers are an ideal vice for washing these away, and therefore ridding the body of toxins.

7. Better Hair & Scalp Condition

By taking regular morning showers, you’ll notice an improvement in the condition of your hair and scalp.

If you are dealing with an extremely oily scalp and hair, even an evening shower will not prevent the areas from remaining oily to some extent by the following morning.

Taking frequent morning showers is an obvious but failsafe method to dodge or curtail this issue.

8. Muscle Ache Relaxation

Any niggling muscle aches or pains can be alleviated greatly by taking a morning shower, ultimately relaxing the body and achieving a comfortable physical state.

Essentially, morning showers can help you feel far less tense from both a mental and physical perspective, providing the perfect foundations to attack the day ahead from your very own shower enclosure.

9. Increased Fertility

It might surprise you to learn that morning showers have been linked to increased fertility levels in the male population.

So if couples are having difficulty conceiving, or even just planning ahead to conceive, it is worth the male indulging in frequent morning showers to garner the potential positive effects.

Again, cold showers can be especially useful in this regard. The cold water can trigger testosterone, and more importantly, research indicates that male sperm production is enhanced dramatically after just a week’s worth of cold morning showers.
