Ian Johnson - E-Commerce Manager from Westside Bathrooms comments:
‘Creating a bathroom space that feels luxurious can elevate the look of a home, by being savvy with design and bathroom fixtures to achieve this.
As you can see from our research, people are looking to create more luxurious spaces in their bathrooms, creating a retreat-like space where they can relax. However, with the current economic crisis, people are also looking for cheaper ways of creating a great bathroom sanctuary, for example, using soft furnishings, like bath trays.
When it comes to making other more permanent modifications, with cheaper options in mind, like vinyl flooring, we would strongly advise you to do your research before making any changes to a property, particularly if you are renting a home.
Furthermore, when it comes to installing new fittings, allowing bathroom experts and plumbers to do so is the best way to ensure no future issues with your bathroom upgrade.”
