There’s a lot of talk these days about doing our bit for the environment by changing small habits in our everyday life. With modern-day technology focussing on green innovation, saving water when you shower no longer means turning the taps off to wash your hair, nor do you have to sacrifice water pressure. One of the easiest ways to minimise the amount of water you use is by changing your showerhead.
There are a lot of water-saving showerheads on the market, but this innovative option by Natural Collection (UK) has everything from sleek design to delivering the kind of water pressure you have come to rely on. Easily attaching to your existing shower fitting, this eco-friendly showerhead can save you up to 70% in water consumption! That’s not just good news for your water bill, but good news for the environment too! |

Showering is a daily activity (well for most of us it is) so why not shower in elegance and style. The Eclisse shower enclosure from Cesana achieves this effortlessly. This beautiful shower has two circular areas, which are both joined and separated by 6mm transparent curved glass panels. The walk in design offers safety from the typical slippery shower floor. Thanks to the clever design by Piet Billekens the wet area holds water well whilst the walk in area remains a comfortable place to dry off.

The Eclisse also features a shower mat made of teak and shaped to the form of the shower for both style and comfort. This shower proves that elegance and practicality can exist side by side.

Remember the movie Memoirs of a Geisha and the elaborate settings. Now you can play it at home. Japanese inspired baths are becoming more popular in the home. Japanese Baths have designed a range of baths that are the traditional Japanese wooden tub and also Japanese inspired tubs that are made from a durable acrylic product complete with whirlpool jets.
The only problem we have with Japanese Baths is that their range is so great we have trouble picking out which ones we like the best.
They also make hot tubs too which we also think is fabulous too! Japanese Baths have such a great range they are hard to go past. |
Imagine relaxing in a bath that is created with wood; bring elements of nature into your bathroom. Avoid the traditional porcelain and acrylic bath tub and have a wooden tub to soak away the day in.
Driftwood Handmade Wooden Baths have a variety of baths styles to choose from. Not only are they elegant, they also have sleek and minimalist lines making them robust and they don’t go out of fashion. Wooden baths are also better for the environment as they are made from renewable raw material and they trap more heat than an acrylic or porcelain baths; as when you fill with warm water the wooden tub does not have to be heated up as much as other bath tub materials would need to be.
Wooden tubs have been inspired by Japanese baths and Driftwood Handmade baths have created a variety of styles to suit your bathroom decor and design. They have created rectangle, oval, corner and Japanese Ofuro inspired baths.
All of their baths have been coated with a durable coat over the wood to make it last a lifetime. Since wood is a naturally porous product Driftwood has created and tested a coating that will protect the product and make it survive whatever life throws at it.
All of the Driftwood baths can be ordered online and viewed on their website which is very informative about their fabulous product. It covers details such as dimensions, how to order a Driftwood Bath and why a Driftwood bath is the best choice in style and sustainability. |

For part one of our “Kitchens with a Conscience” series, we’ve got a great product for your kitchen backsplash that offers both style and substance – recycled glass tile. Made from sources like beer bottles through to industrial off-cuts, this material is the perfect way to go green while creating a stunning backsplash. To make recycled glass tiles, producers take waste glass that has been saved from landfill or is no longer usable, and melt it down in a heated furnace, where temperatures can hit well over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. The molten glass is then put in a mould and trimmed to the right size and form. While recycled glass can be mixed with industrial color, it is best when left in its original form – giving each batch of tiles its own unique look. Bedrock Industries in Seattle (pictured above) create their hand crafted “BlazeStone” tiles using glass that is 100% post-consumer and post-industrial, and they don’t use any oxides or colorants. The company even operates community bottle drives to encourage recycling and ships their tile using recycled boxes. There are many companies that now deal in only recycled glass materials. Others include Eco-Friendly Flooring (pictured below), Aurora Glass (where all proceeds go to benefit St Vincent de Paul) and Sandhill Industries (US).

Ever wanted a certain image in your kitchen or bathroom tiles? Perhaps a kitchen splash back that you dreamed of that you knew would only be possible as a glass splash back? Well now you can have your ceramic tiles with an image of your choice. Imagine Tiles have changed the way we look at the ceramic tile. Is it really easy to customize your tiles, you simply take a picture of the image you want or perhaps it is one you already have and you send it to them as a digital file and they send you one “proof tile”, give them the thumbs up and they mass produce your image and send them to you. Imagine a shower decked out in your own photos or a kitchen displaying images from your travels! Our favorite is grass image tiles for the floor. |
