Treat Yourself and Your Bathroom for Christmas

Amalfi bath from Victoria + Albert - soaking in style!

Have you family or friends coming to stay over the Christmas / New Year period?  You may be thinking about updating your bathroom for Christmas, and if so, you need to sort things out pretty speedily as time is very much of the essence if you want a new bathroom for Christmas.

Soak in Style in Maidenhead are specialists in wet rooms and they find more and more people want to maximise their space drawing ideas from a hotel look with low maintenance wall hung WC, and a basin with furniture providing plenty of storage.  Their clients experience luxury bathrooms during their travels abroad, and they want them recreated or reinterpreted for their own home.  Soak have an industrial style showroom not far from Maidenhead Bridge at Reform Road which showcases some innovative European designs, and it is worth popping in to check these out, and get guidelines for what product ranges would be the best to select from to meet the pre-Christmas deadline.

If however you run out of time fear not as you can still spend some time thinking and planning your new bathroom.  Check out some bathroom websites and get some inspiration from them.  Tear out pages from magazines if you see something you like, and have a think about colour schemes.  You can still call in and start the ball rolling.  Soak’s talented Designer, Cat Lock, has been a finalist for the last 3 years for Bathroom Designer of the Year, and as you would expect the designs are of a very high standard.   Everything can be planned and approved, a deposit paid so that items can be ordered for work to start shortly after the New Year, and you should beat any possible price rises that take place in January / February.

You can then relax, run a warm bath, light some candles and turn off the light so you can forget about the state of your current bathroom and dream about the beautiful new one you will soon be either be showering or soaking in!
