We have all experienced the frustration of stepping out of a hot shower to use the bathroom mirror to complete our daily grooming routine, only to be confronted with a mirror so totally fogged up that we need to wipe it over before we can see our reflection. Who has time for that at the beginning of […]
The bathrooms of today are a long way from the basic, functional rooms of yesteryear when you consider that many homes did not have a separate room for bathing. Householders relied on a sheet hung across the door for modesty while cleaning themselves in a tub on the kitchen floor.
Nowadays, we prefer to […]
Mirrors serve several other purposes apart from allowing us to check that we look presentable before going out. Correctly placed, they can make a small room look larger, bounce light around to illuminate dark corners, and add an elegant touch to an otherwise boring decor. Safety mirrors allow us to see around blind corners and prevent collisions, and security mirrors […]
When mirrors are selected carefully for both style and functionality, they add another dimension to the décor, and their ability to reflect light makes them indispensable in a dark room. In a bathroom, mirrors inject personality and lift the character of the whole room. To get the best result, planning is necessary to make the right decision.
If you are contemplating getting a new bathroom, but have some budget restrictions limiting your choices, you may be struggling to decide which is most important—beauty or functionality. Well, the good news is that if you get the right supplier and plan your project, you can have both.

Every year, over one-third of all accidents in Australia occur in the home with thousands of people injured and many hospitalised as a result. While some of these injuries are caused by fires, many happen while performing normal domestic tasks. A large percentage of these falls are either from heights while cleaning gutters and trimming trees or simply slipping on […]
Regardless of how much space we have in our dwellings, there is always that one room or challenging corner that looks small and pokey. When our effort to make it look bigger with light wall colours and small furniture doesn’t solve the problem, where do we turn next? To mirrors, of course, the perfect, cost effective way to create the […]
We all spend many hours in our bathrooms each day, most of these moments are nondescript hygiene practices. Showering, bathing, brushing your teeth and shaving are just some of the common bathroom activities.
