radio in the morning as you get ready for work. We will be
using the same tech all synced up in the rest of the house.
Finally, the loo! Who knew a toilet could be exciting,
but this one is! The RAK Ceramics Des Rimless Close Coupled loo
has a touch-less flush - super hygienic and very easy to clean -
the battery life lasts two years too! The toilet is also rimless inside,
meaning there are fewer nooks and crannies for bacteria to live.
Where’s the towel rail?
Another one that confounded the builder a bit - again because of
the size of the bathroom, I was worried about the projection of a
towel rail into the room. My other half also only hangs his towels
rather than folding them on a rail - so we came up with a different
solution. The underfloor heating is electric and these wires can be
(carefully) taken out of the matting - we asked the builder to cut
grooves into the wall to accommodate the cables and tile over them
- thus creating a warm wall. We then positioned hooks about 10cm
clear of the top edge of the cables and the towels hang against a
warm wall to speed drying.

What’s the secret to a successful bathroom scheme?
I think we are looking for bathrooms to feel like an escape - in
line with that, lots of storage is essential - looking at clutter is not
relaxing! Making more of a layout and maybe opting for smaller
baths to maximise the feeling of space also helps. Our vanity unit
is a floating one, helping the volume of furniture in the room to
feel smaller.
