I do not know how they do it a Bristan Artisan thermostatic bar shower valve for just £76.00, well it is the latest version Bristan has redesigned for 2008 with its up to date eco friendly water saving mode which can be over-ridden for that extra showering boost.
I do think this shower is a massive improvement on the last model which was one of there best selling shower valves, I feel there are going to be onto a winner with the latest version too.
This shower will function on water pressures as low as 0.1bar and work right upto 5bar so what ever your water system you will get a great showering experience.

Well what do we make of the Cutting VAT from 17.5% to 15%. well for all of you looking to save money on buying bathroom goods its not really going to make any kind of difference as in the last few weeks we have had most of the bathroom manufactures raising their prices why?
Most of the bathroom suppliers in this country are not really manufacturers they are importers and they are effected greatly by the value of the pound, when they by goods they either pay in Euros or Dollars and with the state of the pound at present prices are only going one way UP……

I have a pet hate for leaving shower gel’s, soap, flannels and shampoo lying around the bath tub or showering area, so why not use one of these shower caddies ? The first one on the left is a chrome double corner deep basket it is a fantastic option for storing your soap or bathroom essentials whilst keeping them close to hand and neatly stored.
There is plenty of room to leave shampoo bottles standing upright in the bottom basket. a real family solution.
If you wanted to create a neat solution without using a double then why not pick and mix by using two or even three separate corner baskets to create a shower caddy and fix them to the bathroom wall at the heights you prefer.
As an example I have chosen the Dakota corner and selected the deep basket as they come from the same range, you could also use two the same size which would work just as well.
Double Corner Deep Corner Basket £30.34
Dakota Shower Caddy Corner Basket £29.36
Shower Caddy Deep Corner Basket £16.64

Bathroom pedal waste bins are not the first item when considering designing a layout but if they are not considered from the start they can sit in an uncomfortable position in the room.
I like the Oval bathroom bin from Tapstore.com as it has a 5 liter family capacity made from durable and hygienically safe stainless steel finish.
It will sit in the corner of a room with out taking up the space due to its small projection compared with a round pedal bin.
RRP £52.01 Tapstore.com £46.00.
Recessed shower valves are harder to install but look certainly neater in design and are better in performance. Why I hear you ask?
The Crosswater Totti thermostatic shower valve (left) is a nice example of a crosshead shower valve with a ten year guarantee and will function well right down to 0.2bar pressure. available from tapstore for £252.00.
I also like there Bristan Artisan shower at only £99.00 it is a bargain it comes with a 5 year guarantee and is thermostatic as well the handles and front plate are not as good a quality as with the crosswater valve but for less than half the price who would worry.
Both available from Tapstore.com

Bathroom cabinets in high gloss white are not my favorite cabinets but when you look around at present there are so many bargins to be had. I have found this single draw bathroom cabinet with two mirrors on Tapstore for just £233.00, it comes with a built in clock a shaver socket, double sided mirror doors, two down lights and glass shelves.
It has a nice minimal design would be a neat finishing touch for above a basin in a bathroom.

The concept is simple the Bristan Prism Twinline ceiling fed shower is the easy retro fit shower valve option its neat and tidy and can easily be installed after the tiling is complete or where you have not had a shower previously fitted.
The hot and cold water supplies can be connected above the ceiling in the loft space and the shower is simply mounted on top of the tiling, This Bristan Prism Twinline thermostatic shower is suitable for use with both high and low pressure water systems with a minimum pressure of 0.1 bar.
With its accurate temperature control, and a separate flow control the performance is outstanding, the cold water flow travels around the outside with the hot water running through the center of the pole making sure that safety to the touch giving a family friendly product.

Curved heated towel rails are selling in far greater numbers now as bathroom designers are getting bored of the flat look, they are in fact far more practical as there is more clearance behind the heated towel rail for placing towels neatly.
A little trick I learnt for placing towels on the radiator for displaying heated towel rails in my showroom has stayed with me today as it is not only a great look but there are other hidden benefits.
Here’s the tip, hang the towel (folded length ways) over the first gap in the rails then tuck into the second gap so that the towel is behind the rail, it not only looks neat it also makes the heat project forward.
The towel rail Shown is the Greenwich from Tapstore which is 600mm wide and comes in at a very reasonable £66.00 in white and £121.00 in chrome. It is available in both 500 and 600mm wide versions and in heights ranging from 770 up to 1755mm.
Guaranteed for 5 years.
RRP £175.00 in chrome.
