Far from purely functional, our bathrooms have become a sacred space to take a moment, wind down and well, just breathe. <br />
<br />
If you’re considering installing a new bathroom or transforming an existing one, it can be hard to know where to start, especially with so many fresh design ideas bubbling to the surface every year. As leading bathroom designers and installers in the Amersham and Windsor area, we’ve sifted the style sections and industry blogs to bring you the top bathroom trends for 2018.<br />
<br />
<b>Blurred Lines</b> – Straight lines are out, and curvaceous tiling is in. Waterproof and resilient, tiling plays a leading role in any bathroom. But whereas large format tiles and linear subway tiles have previously taken centre stage, patterned tiles are stealing the limelight. Several tile designers have released ceramic tile collections with vintage architectural motifs and patterns. <br />
<br />
For inspiration, browse Porcelanosa’s Antique tiles featuring a Mediterranean pattern based on Hydraulic mosaics typically found in 20th century Catalan architecture. Available in soft shades of grey, brown, blue and silver, these tiles are ideal for creating a decorative floor or feature wall. <br />
<br />
For understated styling, Villeroy & Boch’s Newtown tiles bear a subtle Victorian pattern from Germany’s Gründerzeit era. Each tile is a robust 60cm by 60cm and has the warm, worn look of natural stone, providing the perfect backdrop for a bath, shower or wet room. <br />
<br />
If you’re craving a colour kick, Villeroy & Boch have also released the vibrant Cherie bathroom tile. Its Baroque style pattern in jade green make it a classic, elegant wall covering. To avoid pattern overkill, opt for half tiled walls, rather than fully tiled. <br />
<br />
<b>How can I get the look?</b><br />
Patterned tiles can look amazing in bathrooms but achieving balance is crucial. Too much pattern will feel chaotic but used sparingly it will give your bathroom scheme a stunning focal point. To see the tiles mentioned above and how they might work in your bathroom, call into our <b><a href="http://europeanbathrooms.com/showroom_contact.php?id=2&branch=Windsor" target="_blank">Windsor</a> or <a href="http://europeanbathrooms.com/showroom_contact.php?id=1&branch=Amersham" target="_blank">Amersham</a> bathroom showrooms. </b><br />

<b>The Boutique Hotel Bathroom</b> - Replicating a boutique hotel bathroom involves creating a gloriously indulgent space and peppering it with personal quirks that make it uniquely yours.<br />
<br />
The first step to achieving boutique chic is choosing the right fittings, which unlike pattern tiles, come under the bracket ‘more is more’. A boutique bathroom is shamelessly luxurious, characterised by freestanding baths, his and her basins and vanity units, walk-in showers and, of course, statement rainfall showers with more jets than Heathrow. <br />
<br />
It’s also about personalising the look with furniture and accessories that you love, such as bringing in a favourite chair and piling it with books, adding unusual lighting fixtures or a retro industrial mirror. <br />
<br />
<b>How can I get the look?</b><br />
A high-end boutique hotel bathroom starts with a good pinch of professional planning. Our bathroom designers can come to your home, measure up and determine the best use of space, so you can explore all layout possibilities – you’d be amazed how many smaller bathrooms can accommodate a standalone bath or double basin. <br />
<br />
For freestanding bath ideas, take a look at Waters of Ashbourne baths on display at our Windsor and Amersham showrooms, or Villeroy & Boch’s oval-shaped Aveo bath, available at our Windsor showroom. <br />
<br />
If you’re after an otherworldly showering experience, they don’t get more enjoyable or drench-worthy than Hansgrohe’s overhead showers. As well as boasting expansive shower heads, they offer a range of water sensations, from soothing ‘Rain Air’ with droplets like warm summer rain, to ‘Whirl’ which gently massages tired and tense muscles. Our best-selling Hansgrohe Raindance is available in both our showrooms, so come in and feel the difference for yourself.<br />
<br />
If you’re keen to introduce a sumptuous walk-in shower or wet room, Majestic’s glass shower enclosures and wafer-thin shower trays look incredible in contemporary and classic settings. For an industrial edge, check out Majestic’s new range of metalcraft frames blending crittall-style black trims and glass. <br />

<b>Here are our designer’s top tips on creating a leaner, greener, environmentally-friendly – but still luxurious - bathroom:</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Water-saving WCs</b> – Bathroom designer Villeroy & Boch are well known for pushing bathroom innovation to the next level and don’t disappoint with their new collection of direct-flush WCs. As well as offering superior performance by providing the perfect water flow, they’re extremely water-efficient with a flushing volume of only 3 to 4.5 litres - so you save water every time you flush.</li>
<br />
The modern rimless design also delivers an unrivalled level of cleanliness and hygiene, which means less time cleaning the loo too! To find out more, call into our Windsor or Amersham showrooms.
<br /><br />
<li><b>Water-saving Showers</b> – We only supply the best shower systems and they don’t get better, or more eco-friendly, than Hansgrohe showers.</li>
<br />
Hansgrohe’s unique EcoSmart technology means their showers and mixers use up to 60% less water than other products. The technology comprises an advanced flow limiter and jets infused with air, reducing the water flow without compromising the amazing, invigorating feel of the shower. Check out Hansgrohe’s best-selling Rainmaker Select and Raindance showers featuring EcoSmart technology in store to see for yourself.
<br /><br />
<li><b>Recycle Bathroom Plastic</b> – The average family throws away 40 kilogrammes of plastic a year. Plastic bathroom bottles often go unnoticed, so instead of going in the recycling bin, they end up buried with other domestic waste in landfill. There are lots of bathroom items you can recycle, including plastic shampoo and conditioner bottles, shower gel containers and liquid soap dispensers. Plastic bottles containing products such as bleach and cream cleaner can go in your home’s recycling bin too. </li>
<br /><br />
<li><b>Save Bathroom Water</b> – Showers use much less water than a bath, particularly if you install a water-saving shower head from Hansgrohe, or similar. Try to get into the habit of not leaving taps running while washing hands, brushing teeth or shaving. You can also save water by turning the shower off while applying shampoo or conditioner. </li>
<br /><br />
<li><b>Ditch the Suds</b> – Today’s shower gels, shampoos and soaps make lots of foam, which is desirable because they make us feel ‘zingy’ clean. However, more foam means more rinsing, which means more water wastage. Natural based products produce less foam, are good for the environment, and leave you just as clean - we promise! Try Neal’s Yard shower gels and shampoos which are derived from organic, natural ingredients and smell divine. </li>
<br /><br />
<li><b>Environmentally-friendly Bathroom Design </b>– If you’re refurbishing or installing a new bathroom, start from the ground up by ensuring environmentally-friendly bathroom appliances and materials are built into your design.</li>
<br />
At European Bathrooms, we have over 25 years’ experience of designing, supplying and installing prestigious bathroom suites, shower rooms and cloakrooms, and have helped many clients create the perfect eco-friendly bathroom to complement their lifestyle. We also supply an extensive range of eco-friendly bathroom suites and appliances, from the best low-water WC and water-saving showers, through to water-saving mixer taps and energy-efficient radiators.

<b>Make more time for yourself and bring your bathroom bang up-to-date with the latest bath and shower technology. Whether you want to sit back and soak while catching up with your favourite show or take singing in the shower to the next level with digital surround sound, we have the perfect innovation for you. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At European Bathrooms we’ve been designing, supplying and installing designer bathrooms and shower rooms across Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and the rest of the south-east for over two decades. As well as ensuring the finest finish in all aspects of decoration, flooring and tiling, we can install a host of latest smart bathing and showering accessories, transforming your bathroom into a truly immersive luxury space. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you’re looking to renovate your bathroom in 2018, here are three of the best bathroom technologies available:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Bathroom TVs and Media Suites</b> – Waterproof TVs are 100% safe to use in a bathroom environment which means you can catch up on your favourite programmes at any time of day, from getting ready in the morning, to winding down at the end of a long day. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our bathroom TVs have all the functions and features of a modern TV, including full HD, waterproof touch screen and waterproof remote control (so good, it even floats!). Other features include:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Surround Sound </b>- Speakers can be integral, fixed into the ceiling or even positioned under the shower for maximum effect. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Screen Sizes </b>- Screens come in a variety of sizes, from a compact 19-inches to a super-size 42-inches, and comprise heated glass, so stay condensation free. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Flush-fit or Wall-mounted </b>- For a sleek, subtle finish, our waterproof TVs can be wall-mounted or flush fit, which means they are fitted into the wall with a back box.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Is it a Mirror or a TV? </b>- Both! For a totally unobtrusive appearance, we can customise your TV to look like a contemporary glass mirror, so unless the TV is switched on, you wouldn’t even know it was there. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Internet Access</b> – Using your mobile in the bathroom can cause a range of problems, from mist build-up to complete loss of service if it’s fully immersed in water.The latest bathroom TVs can also incorporate internet access, allowing you to search online, stream music, watch videos and catch up with social media and emails.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Digital Showers</b> – A digital shower doesn’t even have to look like a digital shower anymore. The technology has been perfected to the point that digital showers can blend into any style of bathroom. For example, if you prefer a classic theme, you can opt for an elegant shower head and valve made of metal and chrome with touches of ceramic. Alongside adaptable looks, digital showers offer unrivalled performance, including:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Precision temperature control </b>– An integral thermostat checks the water constantly to ensure it maintains your desired temperature.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Colour change dials </b>– Dials flash as the water heats up to your set temperature (which takes a matter of seconds) and then stay static to indicate it’s ready, so there’s never any hot/cold temperature surprises.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Switch streams </b>– Want to divert water to the bath, or switch from hand held to over-head shower? You can change the water flow with a touch of a button. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Digital water delivery</b> – Models such as Crosswater’s Digital has its own app (currently for iPhones) which helps save precious snooze minutes by enabling you to run your shower or bath remotely from bed, or anywhere else in the home. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can browse a selection of Crosswater digital showers and fittings at our modern bathroom showrooms in Amersham and Windsor.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Jacuzzi® Whirlpool Baths</b> – This leading brand of whirlpool baths may have been around for over sixty years but the engineering behind its hydrotherapy technology is refined constantly to deliver the best, ‘bubbliest’ bathing experience. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The brand’s unique water jet technology sends an invigorating stream of air and water into the bath, in turn massaging different muscle groups. The clever part is that the pressure of the jets can be adjusted to high or low, allowing you to target areas of tension, such as in the neck, back and shoulders or simply lie back and have a super-soothing, relaxing bath. As well as creating your ideal massage strength, the Jacuzzi range provides innovative features such as touch technology and remote control, making the experience effortless too. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

You might think that using a professional bathroom designer to manage your renovation is unnecessary and costly. In fact, there are several benefits of having an experienced designer managing your bathroom or shower room refurbishment – and if you choose a prestigious bathroom company such as European Bathrooms - design and planning is an integral part of our supply and installation service.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Expert Bathroom Design and Advice - We provide professional design services with every installation project. This is because we believe quality design input is fundamental to creating unique, beautiful bathrooms. Our knowledgeable designers spend time getting to know your exact wants and needs, whether it’s a stylish family bathroom or luxurious wet room, enabling us to develop your perfect layout and aesthetic. </li>
<br />
<li>Optimise Your Bathroom Space and Storage – Whether you live in a modern or period property, every bathroom is different. Alcoves, wall thickness, doorways, windows and ceilings, plus the position of plumbing, pipework and electrics, all need to be considered when re-modelling. But just because your bathroom has always had a certain set up, it doesn’t mean it has to stay that way.
<a name='more'></a><br />
A key benefit of having an experienced designer on board is that they can show you how to optimise every inch of bathroom space. Ranging from substantial changes, such as re-configuring fittings for a better flow and layout, or making the room bigger by extending into an adjoining bedroom or hallway. They can also suggest smaller changes, such as making the most of ‘dead space’ by tapping into stud or plaster walls to make stylish recessed shelving or swapping straight edge shower and bath units for space-saving curved ones. Using a designer allows you to tap into an array of design ideas that you may not previously thought possible.</li>
<br />
<li>Avoid Costly Mistakes – Using a professional bathroom planner reduces the risk of DIY disasters. The most common issues DIY bathroom fitters face come from failing to plan the layout properly: </li>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Not leaving enough room - Bathroom units must be a certain distance apart to ensure comfort and convenience. Although you may be keen to squeeze in a separate shower and bath, if there isn’t adequate space it will be cramped and awkward to use. </li>
<br />
<li>Treating lighting and ventilation as after thoughts – Bathroom lighting can make or break a bathroom. An ill-placed light can cast harsh shadows right where you don’t want them. While inadequate ventilation can cause poor airflow leading to condensation and mould. </li>
<br />
<li>Failing to meet Building Regulations – Although re-fitting a bathroom doesn’t generally require building regulations approval, some drainage or electrical work may need to be approved by your local authority’s building control division to ensure it satisfies safety requirements. </li>
<br />
</ul>
<li>Personalised Bathroom Fittings - Choosing a new bathroom suite and fittings should be fun but supply-only bathroom stores offer limited styles and, having not assessed the room first hand, are often unable to confirm which fittings and fixtures will suit its dimensions or water pressure.
<br /><br />
As well as taking measurements and assessing water pressure, our designers are familiar with a vast range of latest suites, showers and bathroom technologies. This allows them to not only advise on the best solution for your home but suggest items to enhance your bathing or showering experience. For example, if you’re always on the go, a jacuzzi bath is ideal for soothing tension and other aches and pains.</li>
<br />
<li>Convenience – European Bathrooms’ designers are on hand right from the start to measure up and discuss design ideas. Once you’re decided on your perfect layout and suite, we can even arrange full professional installation, along with all the finishing touches, tiling, lighting, flooring and decorating. </li>

While a splash of paint and new accessories can go some way to revive a tired bathroom, some signs show it’s time for a complete overhaul.</b> <br /><br />As a leading supplier, designer and installer of luxury bathrooms throughout Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, European Bathrooms know when a bathroom has had its day. Here are four signs to look for: <br /><br /><b>Dated Bathroom Suites</b> – Lots of bathroom fittings can be tweaked to give a fresh, up-to-date feel, from replacing worn flooring to installing new lighting, however, some features can’t be improved by a quick-fix.<br /><br />Avocado, peach, pink and canary yellow bathroom suites were all the rage in the 1970s and1980s - the louder, the better! Unless you’re a fan of the retro look, lurid coloured suites are a sure sign your bathroom is past its use-by-date. We have a range of classical bathroom suites and fittings at European Bathrooms, come and browse our <a href="https://europeanbathrooms.com/showroom_contact.php?id=2&branch=Windsor" target="_blank">Windsor</a> and <a href="https://europeanbathrooms.com/showroom_contact.php?id=1&branch=Amersham" target="_blank">Amersham</a> showrooms.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Is your bathroom a floor-to-ceiling tiling nightmare? Start planning your dream bathroom today with European Bathrooms.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br /><b>Old Fashioned Floor-to-Ceiling Tiling</b> – If your bathroom is covered in dated wall tiles – beige tiles with sprays of orange and brown flowers were a popular 80s motif – then refurbishing is the way forward. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />While it may be tempting to paint over old and dated tiles, it rarely gives a high quality, durable finish. Furthermore, tiling over existing tiles is only suitable if the walls are in good condition. If there’s hollowness behind the tiles, there is usually a problem with the plaster which will prevent new tiles adhering properly. <br /><br />Placing new floor tiles over old can also block doors, cupboards and require fixtures such as, bath panels and shower trays, to be raised. To achieve the best finish, we recommend removing old tiles and re-skimming the plaster where necessary. <br /><br /><b>Family Upsizing and Downsizing</b> – A shower room or small bathroom may be fine for two but if you’re expecting your first or another baby, it’s time to refurbish. Re-designing and re-modelling not only ensures you get the extra space you crave but will make busy bath times with little ones a dream. <br /><br />Visiting a professional bathroom planner, like our <a href="https://europeanbathrooms.com/in_showroom.php" target="_blank">expert designers at European Bathrooms</a>, means you’ll attain the best bathroom layout. For example, our designers can show you whether the space can accommodate a shower cubicle and a bath (a great time-saver if you have children) and where extra storage can go. They can also talk you through the latest bathroom technologies and accessories, so you can create your ideal shower/bath experience. <br /><br />The way you use your bathroom also changes when children fly the nest. If you’ve got more time to yourself, maybe it’s time to turn the family bathroom into a relaxing retreat, complete with freestanding or whirlpool bath? Or start creating that stunning en-suite you’ve always dreamed of? <br /> <br /><b>Major Plumbing and Electrical Problems</b> – Older bathrooms are more likely to experience plumbing and electrical problems, some more serious than others. <br /><br />If your bath or sink drains slowly with no obvious blockage, it may mean a broken pipe. Broken pipes can lead to water pooling behind fittings, which can cause mould and leaks. Coloured water also indicates a severe problem with the pipes – red and brown suggests rust, while green and blue signals copper pipe corrosion. Another common issue with older bathrooms is that the wiring needs updating to cope with modern appliances, such as, power showers and extractor fans. <br /><br />As well as dangerous, left unresolved, these hazards can damage your bathroom and adjacent rooms. <br /><br />To put problems right, plumbers and electricians often need to undertake invasive work, removing panels and cutting into walling, floor boards and tiling. If your bathroom is already a sticking point, rather than patch over repair work, seize the opportunity to refurbish. As well as enabling you to get the bathroom design you really want – so you enjoy it every time you use it – a new bathroom will boost your home’s value if you move on in the next few years. <br /><br />To start creating your dream bathroom, <a href="https://europeanbathrooms.com/index.php" target="_blank">book your free at-home or in-house bathroom design appointment online here</a>, or call into our modern Windsor or Amersham bathroom showrooms. <br /><br />European Bathroomshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12101672173666354979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237197069856661687.post-24047175969040223162017-07-28T08:54:00.001-07:002017-07-28T08:55:48.415-07:00Bathroom Consumer Advice<h2>
How to Create the Perfect Family Bathroom</h2>
<br />
<b>Just like the kitchen, the bathroom is one of the hardest working rooms in a home, especially at peak times in the morning and before bed. And just like a kitchen, a bathroom needs to be robust enough to cope with the rigours of day-to-day life - from pre-work showers to little ones’ bath times – yet stylish enough to provide a relaxing sanctuary when you need some much needed ‘me time.’</b> <br />
<br />
At European Bathrooms, we’ve been designing family bathrooms for over two decades and have planned, supplied and installed hundreds of versatile yet beautiful bathroom spaces. <br />
Here we guide you through the key elements to consider when creating a stylish family-friendly bathroom.<br />
<br />
<b>Space-saving Bathroom Design</b> – Start by looking at the size and layout of the room as this will show which fittings and storage it can accommodate. <br />
<br />
If dimensions and budget allow, it’s best to install a separate bath and standalone shower. As well as great for multi-tasking and speeding up children’s bath time, a separate bath and shower adds a touch of luxury, particularly if you opt for a free-standing modern or classic roll-top bath. Additionally, as a sought-after feature, investing in both will help maximise your home’s appeal and price, should you decide to sell. <br />
<br />
If space is tight, an over-bath shower works as just well, plus there’s no need to compromise on style either. A double-ended bath, extra deep or P-shaped bath will look great and give the extra space you crave. To prevent water splashes, add a modern, elegant glass bath screen – we carry Merlyn bath screens which come in a vast array of designs. <br />
<br />
Whether you’re starting with a blank canvas or an existing bathroom, our expert designers can help you plan and visualise your room for the perfect layout. Complete the form for a free in-house or at home design appointment, or drop in to our Amersham or Windsor bathroom showrooms.<br />

<b>Storage Solutions</b> – Bottles, sponges, towels, water-squirting whales – if there’s one element a family bathroom needs plenty of, it’s storage. <br />
<br />
If space is an issue, utilise the height of the room as opposed to its width. For example, one area that’s often overlooked is around the washbasin. As well as installing a vanity unit underneath the basin and mirrored cabinet above, maximise storage by adding matching units either side.<br />
<a name='more'></a> <br />
Bathroom designers, such as Keuco, offer a wide range of beautifully crafted modern, minimalist bathroom furniture, including their Royal Reflex range which comprises vanity units, mounted washbasins, tall and middle units and mirrored cabinets – perfect for banishing clutter. Each item can be finished in a subtle tone of white, anthracite or truffle and you never need to worry about catching tiny fingers as doors and drawers close softly and silently. <br />

<b>Wall and Floor Tiles</b> – Porcelain and ceramic tiles are the ideal wall and floor covering for a family bathroom. As well as hardwearing, waterproof, and easy to clean - so there’s no danger of microbes and other nasties hanging around - they’re also available in assorted colours, styles, shapes and finishes. This means you can create the exact impression you want, from the natural charm of large format stone tiles to intricate mosaic patterns for an exotic holiday feel. <br />
<br />
Most bathroom tiles are glazed which means that they will remain water resistant and looking good for many years to come. Villeroy & Boch’s wall and floor tiles and are a smart choice for creating a visually stunning yet practical family bathroom.<br />

Take Bisque’s latest generation of aluminium radiators. As well as made from recycled aluminium - which requires up to 95% less energy to produce than extracting the metal from the ore - they are extremely thermally efficient, heating up and cooling down quickly and using less water to reach the ideal temperature. And the green points don’t stop there – when an aluminium radiator reaches the end of its radiator-life, it can be recycled too. </span></div>

<h2>
Brand New Bathroom Trends 2017</h2>
<br />
<h3>
Precious Metals</h3>
<br />
Hot on the heels of Villeroy & Boch’s 2016 coloured bathroom suites, accent shades are back again this year but this time with a metallic twist.<br />
<br />
Whilst Villeroy & Boch’s Artis, Loop and Squaro 2016 range featured snow white ceramics with candy coloured exteriors, the designer has upped the luxury factor even further by adding a variety of steel, silver, gold and copper coloured accessories and finishes to their bathrooms.<br />
<br />
<h3>
The Finion and Artheus Collection at European Bathrooms</h3>
<br />
Villeroy & Boch’s Finion collection is the epitome of bathroom luxury, comprising delicately curved washbasins, baths, bathroom furniture and metallic coloured taps, bath and shower fittings.<br />
<br />
If you’re seeking a stunning centrepiece, the Finion free-standing bath has the option of a decorative metallic strip and subtle LED lighting around its base – giving a ‘floating’ effect.<br />
<br />
Luxurious metallic accents continue in Villeroy & Boch’s new Antheus collection. White ceramic washbasins and baths are supported by polished stainless steel. Whilst other materials, such as, marble and wood add an extravagant yet earthy feel.<br />
<br />
If you’re looking for a seriously stylish and soothing sanctuary, come and browse our Villeroy & Boch range in-store.<br />

<h3>
Luxury Storage - Finion Box Shelves</h3>
<br />
Although recessed niches in showers and above baths are still popular in bathroom design, in 2017, the niche is coming out!<br />
<br />
Instead of in-built shelving, designers are favouring surface mounted niches.<br />
<br />
This is put to stylish effect in the Finion’s ‘box collection’ - a series of atmospherically lit, floating box shelves. As well as looking amazing, the boxes are perfect for storing extra fluffy towels and favourite bathroom products.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<h3>
Minimalist Rules</h3>
<br />
Minimalism reigns in modern bathrooms and it is still a principle design element this year.<br />
<br />
Latest bathroom collections feature elegant, ultra-thin washbasins inset or mounted on floating vanity units – ideal for storing bathroom products out of sight.<br />
<br />
WCs are wall-mounted to emphasise their clean lines and maximise space. Bathroom mirror cabinets are recessed (built into the wall) to give a ‘barely there’ appearance and shower trays are so slim, you can glide rather than step into the shower.<br />
<br />
If you’re a fan of minimalist design, we have a wide range of sleek designs on display, including fittings, mirror cabinets and accessories from Keuco’s Reflex 2, Royal 15 and Lumos line.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Tiles for Miles</h3>
<br />
Large format tiles in natural finishes are making a big impression this year.<br />
<br />
As well as leading designers Villeroy & Boch adding more oversized tiles to their lines, we’ve seen an increasing number of clients opting for large format tiles.<br />
<br />
Large format tiles, particularly in lighter colours, are ideal for giving the illusion of space. They work just as effectively in small bathrooms and shower rooms, as larger spaces.<br />
<br />
Bathroom tiles most in demand have a matt finish, for example, natural stone tiles, marble tiles and concrete tiles.<br />
<br />

<b>Luxurious and spacious, this modern Shower Room installation by European Bathrooms was just the thing to transform this tired bathroom. See how we did it here.</b><br />
<br />
Renovating the shower room was part of a three-room project at this client’s home in Wallingford, Oxfordshire. Alongside turning the dated bathroom into a sumptuous new shower room, we renovated a further bathroom and cloakroom.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<a name='more'></a>To make the most of the space, we removed the existing bath, separate shower cubicle and dividing wall, replacing it with a much larger, more spacious shower enclosure. We further optimised the space by installing a wall-hung washbasin and vanity unit – providing plenty of storage - and an elegant, practical WC unit with concealed cistern.<br />
<br />
Our professional installation team undertook all the elements of the renovation. This included removing the old bathroom suite and wall coverings, plumbing in the new shower system, basin and WC, tiling the walls and floor and fitting new lighting.<br />

<br />
As with all our bathroom projects, the layout for the new shower room was created by our in- house designers using latest 3D software. This enables us to make the best use of the space and show the homeowner what the final room will look like. Careful planning during the design stage also eliminates the risk of finding something unexpected during the work, leading to a seamless, swift refurbishment.<br />

<b>Delicate rose petals, scented candles and mountains of bubbles – nothing’s nicer </b><b>than indulging your loved one with a long, luxurious bath on Valentine’s Day. So why </b><b>not bring a little bit of Valentine’s pampering to every day with a couple’s bathroom?</b><br />
<br />
A ‘His and Hers’ bathroom looks amazing, saves time – because basins, baths and showers can be used simultaneously – and are double the fun. (or so we heard!)<br />
<br />
As the leading supplier and installer of the best bathrooms in Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, we’ve put together our expert tips for creating the perfect couple’s bathroom:<br />
<br />
<b>Double-ended baths</b> – A double-ended bath is perfect for unwinding on your own or as a couple. And because the taps are positioned on the side, you can both recline in comfort.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Double-ended baths come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles. If the space allows, a free-standing, double-ended bath packs a real visual punch and is super comfortable – imagine waking up to your own luxury hotel bathroom every day!<br />
<br />
A ’back to wall’ double-bath is ideal for smaller bathrooms. For maximum visual impact, install recessed shelving to display your favourite bathroom products and potions.<br />
<br />
Looking for inspiration? We carry the beautifully designed Waters Baths of Ashbourne free-standing baths at our <a href="https://europeanbathrooms.com/showroom_contact.php?id=1&amp;branch=Amersham">Amersham</a> and <a href="https://europeanbathrooms.com/showroom_contact.php?id=2&amp;branch=Windsor">Windsor</a> showrooms.<br />

<b>Double basins</b> – Double basins flanked by large mirrors look stunning and are immensely practical too. You and your loved one can get ready together – saving time – plus, you can have everything you need to hand with discreet, built-in vanity units.<br />
<br />
Our Villeroy & Boch's Venticello double basin fits seamlessly onto wall-mounted units. The design is crisp and contemporary – perfect for minimalist lovers – and the vanity units provide extra storage to hide bathroom clutter.<br />

<br />
<b>Double walk-in showers</b> – If you prefer to shower rather than soak with your loved one, why not consider a double walk-in shower fitted with an extra-large rainfall shower, two separate showers or, for the ultimate indulgence, all three?<br />
<br />
Modern glass shower enclosures and cubicles can be customised to suit any size space and design scheme. We supply and install a wide variety of stylish showers, from walk-in shower enclosures which can be accessed from either side, to fully-tiled wet rooms.<br />
<br />
Depending on your style, you can opt for a sleek ‘step in’ shower tray – which are slim enough to make the shower feel part of the room - or for an opulent wet room feel, a flush shower tray laid at floor level.<br />
<br />
We supply theshowerlab TM frameless glass shower screens and shower enclosures. Made from the highest quality glass and components, the designs have a transparent ‘barely there’ effect and look amazing in any setting, modern or traditional. The glass enclosures are complemented by ‘low profile’ solid surface shower trays.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">If you’re considering changes to the layout, for example, maximising space by removing a wall, or upgrades, such as, a new shower system or refinishing the bath, material and labour costs can escalate quickly. Research fees carefully – you may be able to afford an entire new bathroom for what you’ll spend on a good quality refurbishment. </span></div>

If you’re keen to save money by doing the work yourself there’s a risk that a) you might be unhappy with the final look or finish, or b) DIY mistakes need to be rectified by calling in a professional plumber or bathroom installer, eliminating any potential savings. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Locating the original tiles, their specific batch number and shade, can be extremely challenging as most tile ranges are discontinued periodically. Unlike a lot of other bathroom suppliers, where we supply and install a bathroom, we always provide a few spares to allow customers to carry out such replacements if needed. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">Before you start refurbishing, check whether tilework will need replacing. Being left with mismatched tiles or unsightly screw holes will detract from any enhancements you make. In which case, it may be more cost-effective to retile the whole area. </span></div>

If it’s too low, then you may need to buy a shower head or pump specifically designed to improve the flow. You can test the water using a pressure gauge or if you’re unsure then it’s best to call in a professional.

UK homes usually have one of three systems: Gravity-fed (vented system), Unvented system and Combination boiler. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The gravity-fed system is the most common and comprises a cold water tank in the loft which usually sits above a hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard below. The boiler heats the water in the cylinder and directs the hot water to the shower, bath and taps. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If water pressure is weak, then a booster pump can be installed to create higher pressure and a stronger water flow.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In an unvented system, the water cylinder accesses water from the mains and heats it with a coil. Because the cylinder is mains-fed, the water pressure is often high enough to create a good flow rate.</span></div>

As it takes water direct from the mains, the pressure is often quite high making it compatible with most shower systems. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Manual mixer showers merge hot and cold water feeds and a manual lever adjusts both the water flow and temperature. The disadvantage of manually mixing the feeds is that if the water supply isn’t balanced there can be a risk of scalding. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Electric showers operate via an integrated heating element and usually require high water pressure to work effectively. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For performance and safety reasons we recommend installing a thermostatic mixer shower system. Thermostatic mixer showers are easy to use, have an inbuilt thermostatic valve - making it easy to maintain your preferred water temperature – and the water temperature won’t suddenly dip or increase when people run taps or flush toilets elsewhere in the home.</span><br />

For example, to optimise floor space it’s recommended to allow sufficient space from the front edge of units, such as your bath, toilet and wash basin, to any opposite unit. </span><br />

Replicate this style in your home bathroom with large format wall tiles. They come in a huge<br />

Or get creative with wall colours. Earthy reds and browns will bring Mediterranean warmth, while blues and greys will create a cool, coastal feel. For a touch of luxury, replace tired towels and shower curtains with new ones. Striking Aztec prints are bang-on trend at the moment and will lend a laid-back, eclectic feel to your bathroom.<br />

<h4>
<strong>Candy Coloured Wash Basins</strong></h4>
<br />
Villeroy & Boch are renowned for their superior ceramics and sophisticated bathroom designs. This spring they’ve teamed up with acclaimed German-Danish interior designer Gesa Hansen to create a collection of exquisitely coloured wash basins.<br />
<br />
Inspired by the seasonal changes in Paris, the designer has developed the Artis surface-mounted washbasin in a kaleidoscope of sweet new shades. There are 12 colours to choose from, including variations of green, yellow, rose and blue. The intense exterior colour of the basin is off set beautifully by a bright white interior.<br />
<br />
This pop of colour is ideal for bringing a family bathroom to life or creating a fresh focal point in a guest bathroom.<br />

<br />
Looking to create the perfect bathroom for your home? Our bathroom buying tips will help you plan your ideal bathroom sanctuary. Just add bubbles…<br />
<br />
Plan your bathroom space – On graph paper or using our free <a href="https://www.europeanbathrooms.com/3ddesigner.php">online bathroom design tool</a> draw a plan of your current bathroom layout. Alongside your bath/shower, wash basin and toilet, include aspects such as doors, windows, radiators and, where visible, plumbing, electrics and waste pipes.<br />
If you’re keen to change the layout or add a new bathroom feature, such as a shower enclosure, this will show what space is available. If the design appears cramped, consider re-locating bathroom fittings to optimise space, or if your budget allows, look at ways of extending your bathroom.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7tkrtcvlJ6fn1ODFz10-LNYqgKN7Nm7u9eu6QlJNAL-pRVsLCn9zjGDn6DMVgvTiHThBokCJP2q748PXYYUvVUQt0N6ujIC5mg4ehyX48ii5VBeBW6_Naj5Q0gB4YZP7pcu_KFpaiFBQZ/s320/Burgbad-Eqio.jpg" /> <br />
<br />
Burgbad’s Eqio bathroom range is as elegant as it is practical.<br />
<br />
Many people like the idea of adding a separate shower but this can sometimes squeeze the space too far, resulting in a small unpractical shower and small bath. In this case, we recommend opting for one or the other or exploring alternatives such as adding an en-suite to the master bedroom.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Think storage – For a calm, uncluttered feel consider where you can store towels, toiletries and cleaning products out of sight. Today’s bathroom suites come with a wide range of co-ordinated bathroom furniture, including vanity units, side units and shelving. As well as creating a stylish, seamless finish to your bathroom, you can choose from a wide variety of materials and finishes. Take a look at <a href="https://www.europeanbathrooms.com/brand.php?id=24"> Villeroy & Boch’s range</a> for inspiration.<br />
<br />
Bathroom accessories – Investing in high-quality brassware (taps, mixer taps and showers), shower enclosures and mirror cabinets will make a real difference to the final look and feel of your bathroom.<br />
Updating these features won’t just breathe life into your bathroom but add a generous dose of comfort and luxury too. Swapping a spluttering shower for a premium thermostatic shower will create a spa-like showering experience. Whilst fitting a frameless glass shower screen will make an elegant focal point and make your bathroom feel much bigger. Installing an illuminated mirror cabinet will add mood lighting and conceal cosmetics beautifully too.<br />
<br />
Investing in branded bathroom products also ensures availability of spare parts and servicing in the future.<br />

Or for high-impact bathroom mirrors Swiss-made <a href="https://www.europeanbathrooms.com/brand.php?id=6"> Schneider</a> mirrors and cabinets add the perfect finishing touch.<br />

<br />
It’s exciting creating a new bathroom but whether you’re revamping your bathroom or stripping out and starting again, it’s important to spend time planning your bathroom space.<br />
To help create your ideal bathroom retreat, here are our top five design tips.<br />
<br />
<strong>Look at your layout</strong> – First things first, look at your layout. What do you want from your new bathroom? More space to move around? Stylish storage solutions to de-clutter? As well as taking careful measurements, make a list of your bathroom wants and needs.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTDRHN71y_P8K2SEGK6hA4aARo_Cz57i6qF_Aa1N2AHMWc-ieLXR5cOZ9cspEy57Re5EDGxMRrGfxtDIIc7LGksIL_FalCmjOUfE60TfIrywhWWHHvvDHMW0LhoV26eGZO3jJ_sTL75rfN/s320/Legato-Bathroom-Range-by-Villeroy-Boch.jpg" />
</div>
<br />
If you’re keen to open up a small bathroom, wall-mounted basins and WCs are ideal for creating more floor space. Or if you’re considering a complete re-fit, think about ways to enhance your environment. For example, installing a shower enclosure and a bath, or replacing a fitted bath with a free-standing one. As well as giving you more floor space, a free-standing bath adds a splash of luxury.<br />
<a name='more'></a><strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Define your style</strong> – There are hundreds of different styles of bathroom to choose from, from classic designs to cutting-edge suites.<br />
<br />
Again, think about what you want from your bathroom? Do you crave a luxury hotel feel, complete with extra deep bath for soothing soaks, or a generous shower room to invigorate at the start of the day? If you’re a growing family, would a dedicated shower bath make bath times easier? Once you’ve defined your needs, think about what bathroom style you like and what will complement the style of your home. Pinterest, home magazines and <a href="https://www.blogger.com/showrooms.php">our luxury bathroom showrooms</a> are good sources of inspiration.<br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>The Details</strong> – From the flooring you choose, to the shape of the wall tiles, the smaller details can make a real difference to the final finish of your bathroom.<br />
<br />
Innovative vinyl flooring, such as Amtico, looks great and is ideal for family bathrooms as it is non-porous. Whilst porcelain and ceramic tiles on floors and walls can be used to stunning effect – especially in a shower room - and usually come with anti-slip technology. If you crave a wood flooring effect, take a look at Villeroy & Boch’s wood grain tiles which combine the beautiful appearance of wood with the hard wearing quality of a tile.<br />
<br />
When it comes to decoration, white and cream will make a room feel more spacious, whilst darker, earthy shades of brown, blue and grey will make crisp, white ceramics stand out.<br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>L</strong><strong>ighting</strong> – Lighting can have a huge impact on the final look and feel of your bathroom. To make a cramped bathroom appear bigger, LED illuminated cabinets and bathroom mirrors not only reflect light – creating the illusion of space - but are super stylish to boot.<br />
<br />
The most effective overhead lighting for a bathroom is recessed LED spotlights, which also work best for highlighting different bathroom features. To aid relaxation, consider installing a dimmer switch.<br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Storage</strong> – It’s hard to power down if you’re surrounded by lotions, potions and an overflowing bin. To give your bathroom a clean, minimalist feel, internal storage solutions are the way forward. Look for bathroom furniture that offers discreet storage, such as, wall-mounted vanity units or surface-mounted basins with cabinet space below. If you’re renovating, think about creating recessed storage in the shower or bath area with an in-built niche. As well as extra space, these are ideal for displaying your favourite products.<br />

THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR DESIGNER by <a href="http://stokeripley.com/" target="_blank">Stoke Ripley</a></h2>
<div>
<br /></div>
Bathroom design like most things has changed dramatically over the years. Long gone are the simple sanitised utility bathrooms of yesteryear and in are dramatic stylish statement rooms of luxury. The bathroom is the last place in the house where you can truly indulge yourself, relax, unwind and get away from the worries and troubles on the other side of that locked door.<br />
<br />
It’s because of these everyday pressures and demands that our own space is becoming increasingly important. Which is why the design process has become so paramount. Good design can have a positive influence on how we live, we’re not talking about complete extravagance, simply the creation of something beautiful and functional that brings you and your family pleasure in your everyday life.<br />
<a name='more'></a>What moves you is as personal and unique as the numerous designs we encounter on a daily basis. A good designer intends to make your environment personal and comfortable for you. The design process should be intentional and customised to your specific needs, your desired aesthetic, and the architectural integrity of your home. Good design makes a difference.<br />
<br />
The first critical step in bathroom design is usually a process of good space planning. Start by making a list of your needs and wants for your bathroom, ask yourself simple questions and prioritise your desires.<br />
<br />
For instance;
<br />
<ul>
<li>Do you want a free standing or enclosed unit bath? Do you even want a bath?</li>
<li>Do you want a shower enclosure or a shower in the bath?</li>
<li>What kind of shower enclosure do you want, door-less with a glass panel?</li>
<li>What’s more important to you, storage or a large shower enclosure?</li>
</ul>
<br />
And on and on...<br />
<br />
Your designer can help with all of these answers and will certainly help guide the questions. But your desires are personal to you, so make sure you’re aware of what they are before meeting with your designer.<br />

<br />
<strong>TO HELP, HERE ARE SOME POINTS TO CONSIDER BEFORE DISCUSSING YOUR DREAM BATHROOM WITH A DESIGNER.</strong>
<br />
<br />
<strong>Shower, bath or both?</strong> Do you want a spa experience in the shower with body sprays and a rain-head shower or would you prefer a long luxurious deep soak?
<br />
<br />
<strong>Light and ventilation.</strong> Where is the light coming from and what about ventilation, is it OK to open a window or would you rather a fan for those chilly months?
<br />
<br />
<strong>Plan enough space for each fixture and function.</strong> For example, plan for a place to dry off when stepping out of the shower or bath. Is there enough wall space to hang towels within easy reach of the shower and bath? And consider using wall hanging toilets and basins to create a spacious and more hygienic look.
<br />
<br />
<strong>Think through your daily routine. </strong>If you and your partner need to get ready in the morning at the same time, you might want separate basins with storage solutions.
<br />
<br />
<strong>Consider cleaning and maintenance.</strong> What type of flooring and wall finishes are best for you? Some finishes look great but require more cleaning. Chances are you’ll make different choices for an en-suite than you might for a busy family bathroom.
<br />
<br />
<strong>Think about your luxuries.</strong> Do you want heated floors or towel warmers? Should your perfect bathroom have music or even a TV? Have you considered the benefits of a steam shower? This is your chance to make your dreams a reality.

Chapter 1, The Brand.Originally posted 24/07/2015<br />

<br /></div>
When creating a brand about great design and designers why not start with what some call the ‘principle law of natural design’.<br />
<br />
The famous Fibonacci or Golden Spiral has captivated mathematicians, designers and artists for centuries. It’s ubiquity and astounding functionality in nature suggests it’s importance as a fundamental characteristic of the universe.<br />
<br />
In short, found in most of our surrounding world, this satisfying shape has been described as the basic principle of all beauty and completeness.<br />
<br />
From petals on a leaf, to bones in our own body, to the Parthenon in Athens. Even the balance of our facial features that we recognise as beauty. The mathematical sequence that creates this essential spiral can be found everywhere.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
To create the European Bathrooms brand the spiral has been increased by simply doubling the proceeding number in the sequence. Giving us our natural and pleasing ‘Elephant shape”.<br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7-6wh2hmHY8zUrV7DJ8RGF-yeamwp1ziwcrMNMRXXALpA80YMvwGG2jywXtW_mquwvM4JG4AQcTwBGXT4ViSrczwvA7ewITZIut-hNaxksYtJABO0wBc8yEgpQYUN7Hr7-Y_mmKOglpnb/s320/Fibonacci-4.jpg" />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Fibonacci who?</strong><br />
<br />
Born in 1170 Fibonacci was known in his time and is still recognized today as the "greatest European mathematician of the middle ages."
<br />
<br />
He was one of the first people to introduce the Hindu-Arabic number system into Europe, the system we now use today, based of ten digits with its decimal point and a symbol for zero: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and 0.
<br />
<br />
The sequence, in which each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers is known as the Fibonacci series: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, ... (each number is the sum of the previous two). This sequence creates the Fibonacci spiral (above), almost identical to the Golden ratio and spiral which can commonly be found in nature, science, art and even our own bodies.
