For most of us the bathroom is a treasured personal space, the ideal place to prepare ourselves for the day ahead as well as a place in which to retreat, relax and unwind at the end of the day.

As well as being a purely personal space, the bathroom can also be the most shared space in your house, with a busy family or visiting friends - so you'll want to make it a room you're proud of!

You can choose from hand-crafted bowls in limestone or stunning, contemporary glass bowls in a variety of colours in clear, shot blasted or textured finishes. And whether you choose to have a modern roll-top bath with shower unit, a separate shower cubicle with a slim-line tray or, to make the entire bathroom a wet room spa, Dufour Designs can create your dream bathroom.

Overall, the blueprint for a successful bathroom puts equal emphasis on indulgence and beauty as well as practicality; de-misting mirror and shower screen with LED lights built in the glass, infrared lighting, designer radiators and under floor heating, aromatherapy and chromatherapy, integrated television and sound systems.

All of which will guarantee a queue of people waiting to get into your new bathroom! And for that "wow" factor, why not add some designer accessories, such as a glass towel rail or a mirror TV.
