We all want to introduce the latest technologies into our homes and there is no better room to start with than the bathroom.

Over the last decade products for the bathroom have evolved dramatically and it's not just the larger appliances such as steam showers and whirlpool baths that can make a huge difference. The smaller accessories have been introduced, combined with modern technology too, with mirrors now incorporating LED sensor lights and waterfall taps that have colour changing technology the old fashioned really is a thing of the past.

When it comes to the smaller amenities in the bathroom they make all the difference and add the finishing touches and the best thing is they don't have to cost the earth. Every bathroom should have a bathroom mirror and the difference with the modern mirror is practicality and style. They have built in lights that in some cases can be operated by the sense of touch, if you have a dark room with no natural light via a window or sky-light these mirrors are the perfect solution. Another reason why the modern bathroom mirror is a must have is the additional extras such as the electric points for shavers etc., they make life easier in the sense that getting ready for the day can be done in one place. In terms of functionality they excel.

When it comes to the bathroom taps we are all guilty of taking them for granted and in reality if we didn't have them we would miss them terribly. They are the main source of water in the home for washing each day. With the vast array of taps on today's market they no longer have to be just a standard tap, they can act as a stylish centre piece on the bath and basin that certainly transforms the look. A more popular choice among buyers is most definitely the mixer tap, not only does it look the part it performs like no other tap. The mixer tap does exactly what it proposes to do, mix the water. You can adjust the hot and cold water until you have a continuous stream at the desired temperature, in short making life easier and simple. If you wish to opt for a more traditional look in your home then standard two tap sets are very readily available too, there are hundreds of styles and as well as this many finishes such as bright chrome, brushed nickel and even matte black. It all comes down to personal taste.

Furniture also plays a huge role in the bathroom however it can be tough finding furniture that suits your needs and more importantly fits properly. Many bathrooms are small, but they don't have to be left out. Manufacturers have designed ultra slim-line furniture that compliments any bathroom. Space is a necessity in all rooms in the home but especially the bathroom, we all have cosmetics in our bathrooms and we need to store them correctly, untidy bathrooms can look cluttered and unsightly. The vanity unit offers the perfect solution. The vanity unit is a space saving piece that consists of the bathroom basin with storage underneath. They are available in many colours, sizes and shapes and even have additional pieces to match them such as the tall boy and wall hung bathroom cabinets.
