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.

B&Q is selling an ‘amazing fan' that's ‘10x better than Dyson' & ‘so quiet you can barely hear it' during warm nights
Abigail Wilson, Senior Digital Writer Published: Invalid Date, HOT and bothered shoppers are going wild for an 'amazing fan' that's 'better' than the Dyson. So if you're struggling to keep cool during the warm weather, you've come to the right place. 3 One mother has raved about a B&Q fan that is 'so quiet you can barely hear it', making it great for light sleepers. Overjoyed with her high-street buy, Haley Hollywood took to social media to share her rave review, leaving many open-mouthed. Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook group with 2.6 million members, Haley explained why she is obsessed with the GoodHome Grey 8" Pedestal fan. The savvy mum beamed: 'If anyone needs a good fan, then I can't recommend this one from B&Q enough, it's amazing! 'Honestly 10x better than my Dyson one that cost a fortune! 'It has 12 settings, moves side to side and can move up and down. 'It has a sleep mode and comfort mode and is so quiet you can barely hear it!' Not only this, but she also added: 'It's perfect for having at the bottom of the bed at night. 'I'm in love with it and a total bargain for £49.' Haley later wrote: 'I brought it for my daughter and was so impressed I went back and got myself one. B&M shopper rushes to buy energy-saving gadget scanning for £1 instead of £35 'It is really good, 100% recommend. 'I also forgot to add, this fan also has a nice light on it too, which is great for use at night.' The GoodHome Grey 8" Pedestal fan, which is sold and shipped by B&Q is less than £50, which we think is a real steal. According to the product listing, thanks to this affordable buy, you'll be able to ' beat the heat in style.' It is designed to deliver a 'powerful breeze while seamlessly blending into any room ' and comes complete with a two year guarantee. How to keep cool in hot weather Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS... Keep out of the heat if you can. If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter. Cool yourself down. Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes. Keep your living space cool. Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep. It has a sleek grey design and adjustable height, offering versatility and comfort. Not only this, but it also has a 12 hour timer, auto 3D oscillation and a mood light setting. As a result, B&Q bosses have claimed it makes 'the perfect choice for any space, whether at home or in the office.' Bargain hunters beam And Haley's post has clearly impressed many, as it has quickly racked up 279 likes and 344 comments. Not only did many 'need' it, but others also shared their thoughts on the purse-friendly fan. One person said: 'Thank you for posting this! I bought one yesterday and it is the best fan I've ever had.' Another added: 'Need this.' A third commented: 'I bought one of these. So good I had to go back and buy another.' Meanwhile, someone else wrote: 'Thank you, my son is in the attic so you can imagine how hot it is up there. He's got a fan and an air conditioning unit which is rubbish so I'll try this.'
