bedroom window and décor are catered for. Although applying it is relatively easy, the fi lm comes with a very good step by step guide and there’s also a video tutorial on their website, www. windowfi lm.co.uk. As the bedroom is the area of the home where you’re most likely to be walking around barefoot, what’s on the fl oor is important.

new grey ribbed Wool Chunky Slate from Crucial Trading is perfect - it looks like a cosy sweater! If, on the other hand, you prefer the stylish good looks of hard fl ooring, opt for lighter woods - darker woods are almost invariably oppressive in a bedroom.


Bathrooms


All that glitters… is in the bathroom these days. Whether it’s on the wall or on the fl oor, sparkly silver and grey is the big trend for 2011. Tarkett’s new Sarondo vinyl fl ooring, for example, is a Moroccan- inspired mosaic design in shades of pewter squares - beautiful against bathroom furniture in metallic fi nishes. ‘Vinyl provides the


ideal fl ooring solution for bathrooms,’ says Tarkett’s Marketing Manager, Mike Harrison.


The benefi ts include slip resistance, allergy friendliness and affordability and it is compatible with underfl oor heating.’ Trend GB’s new range of Liberty hand-cut mosaic tiles also offers a colourway that echoes the fashion for shiny silver. The tiles are made from 75% recycled glass and are based on a design by celebrated Italian artist Giulio Candussio, who is famous for his ‘Iridescent Lightning’ mural in New York’s World Trade Centre. Each irregularly-shaped module is backed with clear fi lm so that it can be placed into position without disrupting the pattern (see www.trend-vi.com) If metallic silver seems too cold to you in a bathroom, marble tiles in Spice Red from the Elite Stone collection by CP Group is at the opposite end of the colour spectrum, and the range has just received the ‘best natural product’ award at The Tile Association Awards 2011.

Spain’s Catalonian capital was


the inspiration for the Barcelona bath and basin collection from British brand Victoria + Albert. The new pebble-shaped range draws on the city’s celebration of organic form to create a naturally calming feel with soft curves and smooth lines. The double-ended Barcelona bath is luxuriously deep and the ends are ergonomically shaped for the ultimate comfort in shared bathing.


The new Showerbasin from


Roca is a great space-saving idea - it combines shower, basin, wall-mounted tap, two- drawer storage unit, mirror and hidden lighting and comes with a choice of central or corner design, with the door on either the left or right-hand side to suit your layout. The shower column has a rain-effect spray and there’s an external drying platform. What’s more, the glass shower panels have a special ‘Maxiclean’ treatment which helps repel limescale, thus making cleaning much easier.
