People that ask why we should save water are probably retarded or extra terrestrials from outer space. The most precious commodity in the world is not gold, diamonds, gasoline or even love but water! Well, water is the next important thing to love! The glaciers are melting, global temperatures are rising and the holes in sky, which we call the ozone layer, are getting bigger and bigger. What this means is that our precious water is becoming extinct, day by day. Our water resources are depleting fast and the only way we can hope to have water remaining for our future generations is by saving water, today. Unless, you have someone close to the rain gods who can convince the guys to send rain throughout the year, so, we never run out of water or if someone can come up with a technology that can turn cow dung to water. That’s not going to happen, so, each of us have to start saving what’s left of the water we have, right now.
Did you know that the toilets in our homes are where the most water is used? Yes. Studies done on water conservation indicate that 27% of all household water usage is in the toilets. So, if you want to start preserving water, you can start by reducing the water wastage in your toilets. How can you cut down on your water expenses in your toilet? You can start by using some simple tips. Start by using bathroom accessories that use water optimally avoiding wastage. Fit your shower enclosure with a low volume shower. When you shower, you waste water unnecessarily when you soap or shampoo your hair, and most people don’t turn off the shower tap when they soap or shampoo. You can also use minimum flush toilets. Most times, your toilets use more water than that is necessary to flush down the waste. You can get twin-volume flushes, which can regulate the flow of water as and when you want.
Install flow restricting aerators in all the water pipes in your bathrooms. You can reduce the water wastage by using only the required amount of water. Most importantly, look for faulty pipes or leaky taps in your bathrooms. Remember, even small drops can make an ocean and your leaky taps and pipes can drain out the ocean! Start saving water now and start with your toilets first if you don’t want to end up drinking your own waste in the future!

Author: admin // Category: Bathroom, Furniture Tips
So you have finally finished you bathroom and now you’re looking at finishing your project and need some inspiration n choosing the right bathroom furniture. Nowadays there are many different channels to choose from to help inspire you, maybe elegance is your preference but combining practicality would be the best option.
Practicality when choosing bathroom furniture is a must and you will want to start by simplifying things, having over complicated bathroom just makes more work. The ideal bathroom furniture to choose would be nice sleek and simple design. Wall cabinets should be chosen with practicality in mind and also other bathroom furniture such as sinks and baths can be chosen with style in mind. My personal preference when it comes to bathroom furniture are the taps, I love the all in one taps as not only do they look great but are much easier to keep clean.
Let talk about the different types e.g. rainwood, fulford, westwood, tangra and valentio bathroom furniture. All these designs are high quality and also have a perfect combination of style and simplicity in design. It’s all about fitting together, make sure when you are choosing the right bathroom furniture to keep in mind the space of the entire bathroom as the last think you need is a bathroom spoilt because you didn’t take into consideration the different shapes and have the fit together.
Colour is also very important when it comes down to choosing the right bathroom furniture, you need to consider that ever colour has its complementary colour, this is for example black and white, or white and grey. You may like to be vibrant when it comes to choosing bathroom furniture but don’t forget what its used for in the end and try not to be to ambitious when you need to choose the many different aspects of the furniture, keep it simple, simplicity always works.

Beyond the sink, toilet, bathtub, shower, and other basic fixtures of a bathroom, accessories can add to a bathroom’s functionality and style.
A great vanity light can offer just the right light for makeup and grooming. Coordinated towel bars, towel rings, and wall fixtures can lift a bathroom with both form and function. Heated towel racks, in-shower caddies, storage shelves, and the like can create an element of luxury. And even toilet paper holders, soap dispensers, integrated trashcans, and clothes hampers can get the job done with style.
