Instant Bathroom Updates

Black By Design breathes new life into tired bathrooms

Bathroom renovations are not for the faint-hearted.

But according to luxury homeware retailer Black By Design, a few key upgrades can make a massive difference, saving homeowners the hassle and expense of a full renovation.

Lynette Pym, Co-Founder of Black By Design, said: “Bathrooms should be a haven, but sometimes, they need a little help to feel that way.”

Black By Design has curated a collection of wooden bathroom accessories from Wireworks which will not only add aesthetic appeal to tired bathrooms but are packed with functionality too.

Lynette added: “Using wooden accessories in the bathroom will instantly add a Scandinavian, relaxing feel to the space. But often, the humidity inside the bathroom can wreak havoc on anything wooden. However, these pieces from Wireworks have all been carefully manufactured to ensure they are water resistant to ensure they keep their great looks longer.”

Here Lynette talks through the collection.

Lynette said: “A bath bridge is such an easy way to maximise storage in the bathroom. It’s really simple, requires no installation and can be repurposed as the perfect resting place for a glass of wine and a candle when you want an indulgent bath.”
