Bathroom Design Ideas

As well as properly ventilating your bathroom, you also need a good heating system. A good option is electric floor heating, which provides a comfortable warm floor when stepping out of the shower. It may be expensive to install, but is more energy efficient than some heating systems. Floor heating can be operated with a thermostat that allows you to place the heating on a timer, so that the system will turn itself off after a certain amount of time, which saves energy.

There are many different types of heaters that you can choose from to suit the style of your bathroom. If you wish to opt for a designer look for your bathroom, then there is a wide selection of designer heaters for you to choose from. You can even purchase mirrored radiators, which are useful if you have a small bathroom and not much room for a normal mirror.

Electric wall heaters are a good option if you do not wish to spend lots of money on a proper heating system. If you wish to buy a wall heater that matches the rest of your bathroom, then there are heaters that have panels that can be painted to match the colour of other items or your wallpaper in the bathroom.

If you hate the thought of having to use cold towels when you step out of the bath or shower, then there are a selection of towel drying radiators that you can choose from. These come in many styles, so it should be easy to find a towel radiator that suits the rest of your bathroom.

Bisque radiators really are a stunning addition to any bathroom.  Whilst the majority of heaters are fitted to the wall, they have an air of being free standing and they look modern, contemporary and yet are also classic and elegant.

These are not standard, white rectangular radiators found in 99% of bathrooms across the country, these are iconic styles, designed to be bold and make a statement about the bathroom and your lifestyle.  Sharp, angular and rigid chrome towel radiators are available, or you can choose a seductively shaped winding, circular radiator for a softer, more feminine feel.

Some of the designs, such as the B² are a radiator designed in a mathematic style, offering an architectural feature in your bathroom.  Indeed, the architectural features of bisque radiators are their hallmark, which allow creative and free thinking individuals to express their individuality and creativity in the design and features of their bathroom, rather than just choosing something which everyone else has.

Freestanding radiators are also available and some of these have a real retrospective air about them, whilst incorporating the modern design statement which helps define the 21st Century.  This blend of old and new, retrospective and futuristic marks out bisque radiators as being timeless and yet, somehow, respectful of what has gone before.  So for those who want to really shape their living space and to demonstrate 21st living at its most ‘ultra cool’, bisque radiators really are a serious consideration.

Their price range is not particularly cheap, as you may now be realise from this type of designer, but the pieces are durable and individual, hence many feel, well worth the cost.

There are basically three different types of towel rails, heated, free standing and towel rings or hooks.

Heated towel rails obviously require a power source to heat them and are ideal for larger bathrooms, which can accommodate a large, luxurious rail. Heated rails are available in a range to suit every style of bathroom from period to contemporary.

Non-heated towel rails are usually freestanding, although it is possible to buy a single rail that can then be fitted adjacent to a radiator or near the bath. Freestanding towel rails also offer the flexibility of being portable, so you can move them to wherever you choose. This option also avoids having to drill holes in tiles or walls to fix them, as would be the case with wall mounted rails. These products are available in a wide variety of styles, so both traditional and modern rails are easy to source.

Towel rings may be fitted next to the basin, so that you can easily find a towel after you have washed your face. Rings can also be fitted near a bath, but tend to complement a more traditional rail and their sole use is really only advisable in very small bathrooms. It is customary to have a towel ring or rings to supplement a single towel rail, so that you can get the best of both worlds.

No matter what the size of either your bathroom, or your budget, you will undoubtedly find a towel rail that suits your personal requirements.
