Electrical Bathroom trends & design ideas in Melbourne.

When considering a bathroom renovation, you probably think of plumbing fixtures, tiles & hardware?

However, a few electrical enhancements can change the entire look & feel of your bathroom renovation, giving it that Lux / wow feeling your after. 

Here is Next electrical simple, cost effective electrical tips to give your bathroom that 6 Star glamorous touch.

1)     Led bathroom lighting.

From led mirrors, to led strips that highlight tiles & cabinetry. Led lighting truly highlights features in your bathroom, like stone countertops/ feature tiles, or simply adds that ambience to the space.

2)     Heated Towel rails.

Heated towel have been around for a while, adding to the functionality of a bathroom & that personal lux touch of a warm towel. Today you can find a wide range of electrical heated towel rails that not only have the functionality but with a wide variety of styles & finishes, from brushed nickel to brushed brass, horizontal to vertical heated towel rails, all adding to that luxurious lux feeling you are after.

3)   Bathroom  Feature lights.

Feature lights in any space are always a must have. A simple elegant pendant, dual heighted pendants or feature wall sconces add that focus & interest to your bathroom setting it apart.

4)     Solar lights.

At next we love our Solar lights. Often bathroom have low natural light due to smaller windows or south facing aspects, hence a natural solar powered light that comes on with the sun is the logical choice. Being a distributor of Solar Whiz panels [solarskylights.com.au] ourselves & installing them in numerous houses, we cannot recommend them enough.

5)     Heated Flooring matts.

A luxurious add on that will change those icy Melbourne mornings for good. A far better alternative to old hydronic floors, is today electric heated floor matts. These go under your tiles and heat your floor by simply a flick of a switch. They are economical to run & not only heat the floor but your bathroom too. These systems can be found from thermoset from National tiles to numerous other retailers.

6)     Electrically powered Velux Skylight.

While Skylights remain the rage in design, we recommend for bathrooms to install electric powered openable skylights. These not only bring you a sky window to your bathroom, but due to the operating functionality, allow for the steam in a bathroom to rise & naturally ventilate. Helps keeping your bathroom fresh while also bring light & nature to the space.

7)     The old fashioned, yet loved IXL.

An oldie, but still a warm enhancement. For those extremely cold winter days or for those warmth lovers, who love being as toasty after a shower as in. While IXL’s (Heat Lamps) have been around for along time, today they come in a variety of modern crisp styles, that blend into any bathroom renovation. Functional, practical, modern & yet exceptionally warm. The new / old heat lamp still adds so much to your bathroom through the year.
