Top choices for bathrooms and esuites is entirely a matter for personal choice at the end of the day.  However, there are some very interesting things that can come out of a ’round the table’ discussion amongst friends and colleagues on this very subject.  Some years ago, I happened to be stuck in a queue of traffic to get to my office – caused by an accident further down.  This wouldn’t normally cause any second thought, but on this occasion, I was parked outside the newly refurbished bathroom showroom.  My eyes lit upon the most glorious bath – it seemed enormous, but it ws the whitest, shiniest article of domestic gorgeousness that I had ever seen.  I then decided to take a closer look during  a free lunchtime.

This was the start of a bathroom installation adventure which I have never regretted and has added immensely to my house value and my rating in the neighbourhood!

When visiting some aged relatives earlier this year, it struck me how ghastly their old bathroom was and getting up to wash in there was the least appealing part of my stay.   To start with, the room was tiny, up in the ‘east wing’ of their dark and somewhat dingey old house.  The room always smelt cold and damp, probably because there was only one very small, single glazed frosted window.  There was no separate shower unit, just a plastic hair washing hose with a rickety hook and peg system to hold it up if a hands free shower was to be attempted.

After the relative passed away, the next owner wasted no time in getting a bathroom design studio in to completely rip it out and perform a miracle.  The result is stunning – all stone tiled wet area with a curved screen protecting beautiful cabinets with white fitments.   Plus two convector radiator towel rails – luscious heat !

The ensuite bathroom here was just a large shower unit, basin, toilet and no built in cupoards or space to put anything.  The same as the bathoom, except that had the bath as well.  After a couple of years, when some money became available, a bathroom and plumbing specialist was consulted to provide design ideas to bring things up to date and reflect the rather gorgeous ensuites I came across in many hotels throughout the year in the course of my job at that time.  I got to the point where I was noting the hotels and marking them by the quality of their ensuites and just about nothing else.

The designer was an absolute whizz – he put forward ideas that I assumed would only ever be pipe dreams and available in £300 per night boutique hotels around London.  But with careful planning and budgeting, I got these delights in my very own house.  They’re still fantastically gorgeous even now.

Now that autumn has shuffled in to replace those heady hazy days of warm summer sunshine, thoughts generally turn at this time of year to Christmas and other Festivals leading up to New Year and beyond.  There is the main business of the celebrations to be organised, the all important main dinner – more important than any other dinner of the year.  The guest list is organised for the busy hostess who does the most socially during this busy social period.  But there is another matter that should occupy the busy hosts’ minds – how about making sure the bathrooms and ensuites are really up to date and luxurious for their guests.

Engaging the services of a dedicated bathroom designer and installer is by far the best and probably economical idea.  They are absolute experts in making the most of the space available and can offer the most up to date layouts that are often very energy savvy too.

There’s something really fantastic about being able to hop out of bed first thing in the morning and straight into a deliciously long hot shower – the new modern bathroom and ensuite arrangements available today are almost breathtaking compared to the basic bathrooms of only a few years ago.  After the first and second world wars, there was a desperate need for houses to be built as quickly and cheaply as possible.  Large housing estates sprung up all over the country, mainly semi detatched little boxes, it must be said, but they served a vital purpose and many many families were deleriously happy with the new indoor bathrooms with flushing toilets!

Today we just need to look at the gorgeous shiny magazines available in the shops, to see the fabulous ranges of wet rooms, rose showers etc.   Browse online to see what a master crafstman can provide for  you, the outlay will be worth every penny in sheer enjoyment every day.

Of all the exciting things about doing a house renovation or partial refurbishment is fitting new ensuites and bathrooms.  There is something genuinely satisfying about the luxury of a well tiled room, with slimline cabinets and worktops taking the place of rusty and dusty wire storage shelves that have all the contents spilling all over the floor.  The gorgeous new shower units with easy to clean panels, just needing a wipe down with an e-cloth when still damp makes it so much more user friendly.   The new electronic push button showers themselves are a great improvement on the taps that you have to adjust to get the right temperature and water flow.

The best way  to get a hotel standard bathroom that you will love for ever and add money on to the value of the house is to engage a professional bathroom design and installation studio.  They are masters at the task and will save  you hundreds of pounds in the long run.

In other nations, such as Asia and the UK, Sydney, Italy, asian Europe, houses might have another toilet area. In Iran just about all houses have two unique areas for the toilet area and also that toilet. Bathrooms usually have for holding towels towel rings or more or one towel bars. Some bathrooms have a medication cupboard for medications and personal health goods and drawers or racks for keeping towels along with other products. All types of bathroom light ought to be rated to utilize within the toilet.

A powder-room also known as “1/2 bath” or “guest bath” often describes an area having a drain along with a bathroom and popular by visitors. An toilet or ensuite bath (additionally en-suite, other along with ensuite versions) is just just available from the room and a toilet or bath mounted on.  There is just, in English property broker language, a household toilet a complete bathroom in a home.
