The Bathroom Fittings Worth Replacing Before You Think About Renovating
Sometimes it’s not the big changes you need to make in any given space, but the smaller ones that can make a more significant impact on how a room looks and feels.
This is especially true in a bathroom. Even if it feels tired and worn, chances are just updating a few select fittings and fixtures can be enough to give it a new, fresh look for instant revival.
Interested? Let’s see what you can update to make your bathroom feel better instantly.
The toilet seat
Always a necessary feature in any bathroom, but the quality of your toilet seat can actually have a huge impact on how you feel when you use it, not just how it looks. If your current toilet seat isn’t right for the pan you have or is cracked, damaged, discoloured, etc., then it’s high time you replaced it with something more suitable.
Let’s say you have an Ideal Standard Concept pan, then replacing your toilet seat with the Ideal Standard Concept Soft Close Toilet seat and cover E791701 is the correct choice here. The right type of toilet seat for the pan will sit better, rather than approximating it like general toilet seats you’ll find on the market.
Towel rail
Can we interest you in a heated towel rail upgrade? Even if you prefer not to have a heated towel rail, a new one will be massively helpful and can be aesthetically pleasing too.
If you don’t have one or the one you have is starting to look a little worse for wear, there are literally hundreds of different options for new towel rails for you to add to your bathroom. From fitted ones to freestanding and ones in cabinets, if you’d prefer that. It can be a relatively inexpensive change depending on the style you choose, but a great place to start.
Mirror
A mirror is a bathroom essential. Whether it’s just a small one sitting on your window ledge or you have a wall-fitted mirror, you need one full stop.
The thing is, here that over time, mirrors can succumb to degradation from the environment. Moisture can cause damage; they can get dropped and end up cracked, or you might notice that there are dark patches edging slowly across the surface of the mirror.
These days, you can choose from a wide range of bathroom mirrors, including heated ones, perfect for that post-shower steam issue, or you can buy mirrors with lights in or simple basic ones you can adjust by hand as and when you need to.
Accessories
Your bathroom is likely full of various accessories and items you need but are overlooking in relation to the decor and how they make the space feel. And upgrading even a couple can be beneficial here. Think toothbrush holders, toilet roll holders, soap dishes, hooks, etc. They don’t need to be matching or even from the same range, but following a theme with them can have a huge impact on the feel of your bathroom.
