7 bathroom upgrades from on-trend taps to easy-fit flooring

GIVE your bathroom a new lease of life without starting from scratch – try these hacks for a hassle-free glow-up. Tap in Rails, taps, handles and loo-roll holders… swapping out fittings can make a big difference. Looking for a traditional finish? Try the Bristan Corinth chrome effect pillar tap (below). Styles that are on trend include matt black and brass. Or mix metals for an eclectic designer look. Neat trick Clutter ruining your feng shui? Open storage helps remove things from the floor while providing handy surfaces for styling accessories and plants (perfect for 'shelfies!'). If you prefer to keep everything out of view, a wall-hung cabinet (like the GoodHome Nevado tall matt green double bathroom column, below) is just the job. And don't forget hooks behind the door for those fluffy towels and dressing gowns. Floor it If you're after a completely new look, lay down some luxury vinyl click flooring for an elegant feel, or go classic with monochrome tiles. A day's work is all it takes. Otherwise, spruce up your existing flooring by renewing the grout lines with a grout pen. For even more impact, tile paint can do wonders. Screen light Did you know that you can change a tired-looking shower screen without ripping out the whole suite? The GoodHome Ahti black bath screen, below, has a modern, industrial vibe, while the GoodHome Ahti black glass panel with aluminium grid maximises the light coming into a walk-in shower. Bright ideas Bathroom more Blackpool illuminations than zen spa? Switch up your lighting – the GoodHome Dorres pendant silver wall light (below) emits a soft, flattering glow for luxuriating in when you've run yourself a hot bath. Add more focused light sources either side of your mirror for pampering and preening – something like the GoodHome Bobwhite satin silver effect light. There are even mirrors with built-in illumination to save on space, like the Sensio Mistral Curved illuminated colour-changing mirror. Wonder walls Take your inspiration from top hotels by painting or papering the walls in your bathroom in a vibrant colour or bold print. If it's the latter, cover with clear decorator's varnish to create a water-resistant barrier. Little touches Finally, add a smattering of stylish accessories, whether that's a fancy new toothbrush holder and soap dish that complement your fixtures and fittings or a pot plant and wall art. Don't forget lovely smellies. It's all in the details.

Aldi's £10 bedroom essential keeps you cool during hot summer nights so you'll sleep soundly & it costs nothing to run

ALDI shoppers are raving over a £10 bedroom essential that's perfect for hot summer nights. The clever essential doesn't cost a penny to run and is sure to be flying off shelves as temperatures rise across the UK. Aldi's Specialbuys range has done it again - serving up cooling comforts for a bargain price, just in time for the summer heatwave. The Slumberdown Stay Cool Pillow Pair, priced at just £9.99, are a must-have for anyone who struggles to sleep in the heat. They're designed with clever Hydrocool moisture management technology, which absorbs moisture from body heat to keep your sleep space cool, dry and comfortable all night long. With medium support, they're ideal for back sleepers, and the best part? They're machine washable and tumble dryer friendly - making summer snoozing effortless. It is a game-changer for stuffy nights, and at just a tenner for two, it's a total no-brainer. Other products And it's not just pillows getting the cooling treatment - Aldi is also selling a Slumberdown Always Cool Double Duvet for just £14.99. Made with the same Hydrocool tech, it helps regulate your body temperature by drawing away moisture, so you can stay fresh and sweat-free even on the muggiest nights. The lightweight design makes it perfect for summer, and like the pillows, it's machine washable - so you can stay cool and clean with zero fuss. Together, the set offers a budget -friendly way to transform your bed into a chilled-out sleep haven without touching the thermostat. I beat the heat with free 'ice trick' that works with any home fan There's also the Slumberdown Always Cool Hydrocool King Duvet, priced at just £16.99. It uses the same Hydrocool tech to wick away moisture and keep you feeling fresh through the night - even when the heat is relentless. Perfect for hot sleepers or stuffy bedrooms, it's a summer bedding essential that won't break the bank. The collection is available to buy in Aldi stores from Thursday 10th July. Other cooling hacks It might sound wild, but hanging your washing outside your windows could be the genius summer hack you never knew you needed. If you're bunging towels or bedsheets in the wash today, try pegging them over your windows - not only will they dry quicker in the scorching heat, but they'll also help block out the blazing sun and keep your home cooler. That's right - dry your laundry and beat the heat in one go. Another hack that people are sharing on Mumsnet is to use a hot water bottle, yes, even in the summer. You simply fill the water bottle with a small amount of cold water and stick it in the freezer until frozen. Then you want to place it at the bottom of your bed to keep you cool all night long. However, you shouldn't use the same hot water bottle for hot water in winter and freezing in summer, as it can weaken the rubber. If you can, buy two hot water bottles and change them for each task. Many agreed that the hack was vital to staying cool in the summer. One wrote: "In praise of the cold water bottle. "It's just a hot water bottle filled with cold water, but it's so helpful when it's really hot." 2 How to survive six weeks of school summer holidays IF you are struggling with the six week summer holidays, you've come to the right place... BATTLING BOREDOM: Despite hours of activities and playdates, if your kids are already complaining there's nothing to do, parenting expert Liat Hughes Joshi says: 'Don't feel you have to organise every second of the holidays. Kids benefit from boredom and learn to make their own fun. 'Boredom can trigger creative and imaginative play but you need to encourage kids to get used to not being told how to spend their time. 'Ride out the pleas of boredom. Counter it with comments such as, 'What do you think you could do?' and maybe have a list of 'I'm bored' activity ideas on the fridge.' SCREEN OVERLOAD: It's tempting during the holidays to rely on a digital babysitter but don't let them gawp their whole summer away in front of a screen. Liat says: 'It's unfair to expect older kids to power down but it's important to set some ground rules. 'Set family tech rules together. If you're often distracted by your phone, follow the rules too. Maybe tell the kids they aren't allowed any screen time until they've done set chores, some exercise, or a board game. 'Are there times when you'd like to ban screens completely? Perhaps during dinner or when they have friends over to visit. 'Tech is a battleground for parents, but you have to set boundaries. Stand firm and be prepared to be unpopular.' TOO MUCH TOGETHERNESS: You love your kids, but being with them 24/7 can be exhausting. Do not feel guilty if you need a bit of downtime. Liat says: 'If you're juggling work and household tasks as well as occupying the kids, it's normal to start feeling overwhelmed or jaded and in need of some peace. 'If you can't afford or don't want to send your kids to all-day camps, look for free kids' workshops so you can get on with jobs or have a break for a couple of hours. 'Seeking a spell of quiet every now and then doesn't make you a bad parent — in fact it will probably make you more positive and enthusiastic when you are with the kids.' SCHEDULING CONFLICT: Schedules can go out the window during holidays, but late nights and early mornings can mean tired and unhappy children. Dr Tamara Bugembe, paediatrician and founder of says: 'Children get grumpy, test boundaries and become challenging when routines are broken. 'Sticking to some kind of routine during the holidays is a good idea. 'We release hormones at different times of the day and when regular meal times and bed times are broken, it causes dips and peaks in mood. 'Holidays are about having fun but an early night once or twice a week will make everyone happier.' EXCESS ENERGY: Make sure kids get out in the fresh air to tire them out — and make them healthier and happier. Dr Bugembe says: 'Sunshine also tops up vital vitamin D levels which helps improve bone strength and energy levels in children. Our levels run low in winter so let the kids stock up in warmer weather. 'Letting them run around in shorts and a T-shirt is the best way to top up. Make sure they're wearing sun cream, get outside and have fun. 'Encourage them to try healthy habits such as cycling and walking. They'll hopefully get hooked and want to carry them on when the weather gets colder.'
