As well as looking great and adding a real centre piece to your bathroom the LED lights also have a very practical application. The colour of the LED lights changes with the temperature. At 26c and below the light appears blue, great for a cold shower. Between 26c and 42c the colour changes from blue to green. When the temperature reaches 42c and above the light is red. This means no more stepping into a cold shower unless you want to, so you can basically adjust the temperature of water by the colour of the light.

Waterfall Tap
Bathroom taps are more of a bathroom essential rather than an accessory but 2010 revealed a real demand for cascade taps or cascade taps as some manufacturers call them. This waterfall tap from Phoenix Whirlpools is a great example with solid brass construction and a silky smooth chrome finish and thus takes third spot in our list. This design also benefits from an enviro-click cartridge, this allows users to select a reduced flow setting when lifting the lever. You can feel the settings by means of a tiny click. This brass-ware example is also suitable for low pressure systems so there's no excuse not to spoil yourself with a great piece of bathroom design. Furthermore this example comes with a complimentary square basin waste to complete the look. Phoenix are so confident in the quality of their brass-ware that they give a free 10 years manufacturers guarantee. Checkout the extended range of

Most base units come with soft close cupboards and drawers and the better models feature metal drawer runners, so they're built to last.
