North Leeds Plumbing & Heating – Home Improvement and DIY Advice

After having finally installed that new bath or shower enclosure, bought new towels and bathmats, retiled the floor and painted the walls and ceiling, some final finishing touches will add your own sense of individuality and style to your perfect bathroom.

Why not display special memorabilia along a shelf along wall? This could take the form of anything, from framed family photographs to holiday souvenirs. Glass jars could be easily utilised as receptacles for bath salts or aromatic oils.

Fresh flowers or ferns make a wonderful addition to any bathroom. Hunt down some unusual vases in charity shops or market stalls. Even old window boxes make a delightful fixture.

Why not remove the door of the linen cupboard and replace it with a tapestry screen? Alternatively, cover it with a made-to-measure painting or embroidery.

Instead of paint, try staining bathroom cabinets. This way, you can recreate a genuine rustic feel. Wood stain comes in a myriad of different shades, so take your time while choosing.

Trailing light bulbs along a runner at the top of the wall produces a marvellously atmospheric tone. Perhaps add a table lamp, if you have sufficient space, with a specially designed lampshade.

Adding tiles around bathroom mirrors is another good way to highlight a focal point. Try painting the frame in a gold or silver finish or place the light so it reflects off the mirror.

Whatever you choose to do, make certain that the finishing touches do not let down the bathroom you have so lovingly and expensively created.
