We’ve resisted as long as we can, but the summer are starting to feel like a distant memory and many of us are now reaching for the heating dial as the colder mornings and evenings arrive. Its not all doom and gloom however, autumn brings with it stunning colours, crisp fresh air on weekend walks and long cosy baths in the evenings.

We’ve put together some tips on how to make sure your bathroom is autumn ready this year.

Bleed your radiators

When you turn your heating on for the first time after summer, it’s a good idea to check your radiators and see if they need bleeding. If there is air in the radiators it will impact their effectiveness. Here are some instructions on how to do this.

Invest in a good heated towel rail

There is nothing worse than getting out of a nice hot shower or bath, reaching for your towel and it still being wet and cold from last use….. Especially in the colder months! A towel rail is the ideal solution for heating your bathroom and ensuring a warm dry towel. We have lots of options to suit all bathroom types at Hugo Oliver.

Check your bathroom lighting  

Another way to get your bathroom ready for Autumn is to check your lighting. With less natural lighting, we rely much more on artificial lighting in the autumn and winter months, so its important to make sure your lighting is up to the task. If you find it difficult to get ready, put make up on, shave or find things in the cupboard with your current lighting, its time to invest in some new lighting… not only will it make your life easier but it’ll make a big difference to the whole look and feel of the room. At Hugo Oliver we can help you find the right lighting for your needs, from main lights to mirrors with different settings.
