The Quick Fix: the definitive guide to accessories

Let me guess. The January buzz to change up everything in your life has worn off slightly, but you still feel a pang of guilt every time you see someone on Instagram show off their latest projects. You’ve been neglecting your bathroom all year, and you really want to do something about it, but you don’t quite have the New Year, New Me mentality as much as you did last month. Sound like you?

Let me introduce you to the Quick Fix Guide.

You don’t need to go over the top to create a fresh feel in your space. This guide is here to help you give your bathroom a little bit of a boost, without going too crazy and redoing the floors. 2020 was a tough year, cut yourself some slack in 2021.

Accessories are a great way to switch up your bathroom. So save yourself some time and follow this guide to quickly jazz up your space with some simple ideas.

What about install?

Armed with a drill, a spirit level, and some patience, an experienced DIYer could get install done in an afternoon. You can do it! We believe you!

If you’re not so confident, an experienced tradesperson is always on hand to get the project sorted for you quickly (and tidily).

Lighting

Changing your lighting situation can really bring your space out of the dark ages. Emphasise modernity in your space with the Porto Ceiling Light.

If period dramas are more your thing, why not go for a dramatic chandelier?

More into industrial vibes you say? How about an exposed bulb pendant light?

Brightening up your bathroom can really bring your space on a long way, with relatively little hassle. Once the new lights are installed, you can really see what else needs worked on from there…

Mirrors

Why not kill two birds with one stone and nab yourself an LED mirror. LED mirrors are a great way to create the perfect ambiance in your space by adjusting the colour of your light. Alternate from cool white to warm yellow light to simulate sunrise and sunset to align your circadian rhythm correctly in the darker months.

Improve the sonic vibes in your bathroom with a Bluetooth mirror. At the flick of a switch, you’ll be able to properly get those shower jam sessions going. 

There’s a lot to be said about the humble plain mirror too, let’s not forget. If you don’t have the time or want the stress of installing a wired mirror, then why not keep it simple? Our Moods Bathrooms to Love Lucia Round Mirror comes in three different colours, so you can find one to perfectly suit your style. If we had to choose one, it might be the sea green.

Other Accessories

Our ER Noir range is a real crowd-pleaser. We have you covered, from loo roll holders to robe hooks. Adding finishing touches like these can really bring your bathroom from zero to hero in an afternoon. It can tie your space together, and create more cohesion, making it look like you’ve done a lot more work than you actually have. Shhhhh. We don’t tell anyone.

Finally, one item we see time and time again taking a bathroom to the next level is our Viktor Benson Bath Caddy. Don’t let the simple design fool you – it is adjustable and will fit any size or shape of bath. Not only that, there are clever spaces for all you could ever need in the bath: a tablet, soap, a mug, or even a cheeky glass of wine. And why stop there? Go the extra mile and place some decorative candles or hand towels on it for some real Insta-worthy Hygge-ness.

In conclusion, giving your bathroom a refresh doesn’t have to take months, it can be done quickly and relatively inexpensively if you know what you’re looking for. A deep clean, some fresh towels, and your new accessories will surely take your bathroom from drab to fab.
