Green Bathrooms: Eco Friendly Spaces

It is possible to live in luxury and still be eco-friendly. Firstly, water-saving sanitaryware aims to help the planet and claims to reduce your bills by 25%. This concept water-saving bath, available from Ideal Standard, is low capacity and has the potential to save the warming up of 21,170 litres less water in a year.

It is also possible to have eco-friendly bath fixtures and furniture, made from recycled materials. 

And you don't have to stop there, complete your green bathroom with eco-friendly bath tiles too. Bedrock produce tiles using 100% recycled glass.
Another way in which to both lower energy bills and to have a planet-saving space is to use energy-effecient light bulbs. If you opt for the bright white variety and hang them at eye level either side of a mirror or behind frosted glass, you'll be able to create a softer glow in the room and still be able to see to apply make-up or shave.
Combined with natural stone floors and textured accessories, you can create a 'zen' space in your own home.

2012 Bathroom Trends: Marble

The housetohome website recently posted an interesting article about how to keep your bathroom space looking fresh and modern. Many of the trends are also popular among our own client's wish lists so we thought we'd share a 'trend a day' with you. 

NUMBER ONE: Marble.

Marble is up-market and luxurious. Not only can it be fitted to walls and floors, it is also possible to have a marble bath, furniture and counter tops. 

This particular image exemplifies how you can make marble look contemporary. Team it with a white suite, chrome accessories and voila! You have a bathroom that once only existed in your dreams. 

Fired Earth  have predicted that their East Hampton white marble tiles will be their next best seller.
