renovations can prove costly and
time consuming, so we’ve got some simple tips to help you rejuvenate these rooms.
Retiling is a great option to instantly update a tired kitchen or bathroom. Simple metro tiles can be fairly inexpensive but when placed in a herringbone design can look super chic and modern. If retiling seems like too much of an undertaking, you could paint your tiles in an on-trend shade using an
appropriate tile paint or even use tile stickers.
Sometimes it’s
the small details
that make all the
difference and
updating your
taps or shower
can give your
room a whole
new look. In the
bathroom look for brassware that makes a statement such as black or rose gold, or taps featuring a statement inlay like mother of pearl. There are currently many shower options that can be retrofitted into an existing wall cavity, giving you the option to choose a shower with a recessed valve and a large fountain shower head that gives you a spa style experience.
In the kitchen, switching out your taps is a quick and easy way to refresh the
space. Brands such as Bristan have a wide range of EasyFit taps that you can install yourself in the existing tap hole. Or why not add in a boiling water tap which is both on trend and functional, with some supplying both cool filtered and boiling water.
Adding small decorative touches to your kitchen or bathroom is a simple yet effective way to update your space. Try some new shelving in your bathroom to display your products and a couple of succulent plants, or look at a freestanding vanity unit to hide away toilet rolls and cleaning products. In the kitchens witch
out your cupboard handles for a more modern version and add in open shelving or a pan rack if you have the space.
Updating items such as towels in the bathroom and tea and coffee canisters in the kitchen are
the simple details that can help to pull a new look together. Look out for classic colours, patterns and materials that won’t date quickly.
Adding just one statement piece to a room can help to create a focal point that you build your new look around. In the bathroom try updating your brassware or hanging a decorative mirror. The kitchen is a great place to showcase an impactful piece of art or a gallery wall full of family photos.
our kitchen and bathroom are the most frequently used rooms in your house, and this can take its toll on the fififixtures and fififittings. But full
SOMETIMES IT’S THE
