FAST FIXES
If a full bathroom renovation is out of financial reach at the
moment, try these quick changes.
Replace your taps and shower "Choosing a shower and
tapware that looks stunning will convert your bathroom into
a room you can't wait to use," says Andy. Select the basin
mixer first, and then your shower and bathroom accessories
with complementary shapes to create a cohesive look.
Tackle old grout and silicone Tatty, discoloured grout and
silicone can really age a bathroom. If the tiles are in good
condition, removing and replacing the grout will help to
give the whole room a fresh, clean look.
Accessorise! Splash out on chic soap dispensers, replace
the shower curtain, buy a set of plush towels and add some
greenery and candles - these all make a big difference.
