Your Bathroom: A Secret Window Into Your Personality

Hannah Gordon — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 09:35:26 +0000

Your bathroom is more than just a space to shower after a long day; it also reflects your personality. From the choice of décor to the level of cleanliness, your bathroom shows a lot about you to the people who step inside your home. So, what does your bathroom say about you?

Minimalist and Organised: The Perfectionist

Neutral colours, minimal clutter and a focus on cleanliness show that you value organisation and efficiency. Your bathroom is well-stocked and very carefully arranged. You probably have matching towels, soap to last you a lifetime, and strategically placed décor. This all reflects that you have an eye for detail and hate anything being out of place.

Lush and Luxurious: The Indulgent Host

Do you like to feel relaxed in your own home? If you’re someone who has decorative towels and scented candles around your bathroom, then you’re likely to take hospitality seriously. If so, you’re someone who likes prioritising self-care and home aesthetics.

Eclectic and colourful: The creative Spirit

A bathroom with bold colours, unique art, and patterned walls shows that you have a creative personality. If your shelves are filled with interesting accessories and homemade bath products, it’s likely that appreciate individuality and love expressing this through design.

Cosy and Cluttered: The Free Spirit

Items scattered around, an overflowing cabinet and slight disorder. Your bathroom sounds messy but it’s not at all. It’s an organised mess, it’s cosy, and you love it that way. You’re spontaneous and always on the go and you might prioritise function over form. It may not always be perfectly tidy, but your bathroom is comfortable, which reflects a carefree approach.

Nature-Inspired: The Wellness Enthusiast

Do you have organic features in your bathroom like bamboo, plants, and other natural materials? If this is the case, then you are someone who values wellness and has a strong relationship with nature. It’s likely that looking after the environment and being sustainable is something which you value. You also appreciate self-love and prioritise mindfulness through activities like meditating and yoga.

Tips to Elevate Any Bathroom

No matter your style, here are a few simple ways to switch up your bathroom’s look and feel:

Upgrade Your Lighting: Soft, warm lighting or stylish fixtures can instantly create a welcoming atmosphere.
Experiment with Wall Panels: Whether sleek and modern or rustic and textured, wall panels can add personality to your bathroom.
Incorporate Plants: Greenery adds life to your bathroom and creates a spa-like vibe.
Organise Your Space: Using storage solutions like baskets and shelves can help you keep your bathroom tidy.
Top Up the Colour: Choosing a new paint palette can change the whole outlook and add character to bland bathrooms.
Introduce Unique Features: A fun-looking mirror or bright artwork can make your space stand out.
Use Scent Strategically: Oil diffusers and scented candles can create a relaxing ambience.

Your bathroom is only a small space which reveals so much more about you than you might think. Whether your space is organised or chaotic, your bathroom reflects who you are. So, next time you step into your bathroom, have a look around… what does it say about you?

Refreshing your bathroom for the summer doesn’t have to be a major overhaul. With these simple and effective ideas, you can create a bright, airy, and inviting space that captures the essence of the season. Embrace the change and let your bathroom become a summer sanctuary where you can relax and rejuvenate. Happy decorating!

MyLife ‘Taps’ into Growth with £15 million Investment in New Building

Hannah Gordon — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 15:02:22 +0000

At MyLife Bathrooms, we are thrilled to share some exciting news about the next chapter in our journey. As a leading supplier of high-quality bathroom products across the UK and Ireland, we are expanding once again with the construction of a brand-new, purpose-built warehouse and office facility in Newry. Spanning an impressive 105,000 square feet, this will be one of the largest commercial buildings in the city and a testament to our ongoing growth and ambition.

A New Milestone for MyLife

This expansion marks our third premises move in just 12 years, reflecting our rapid growth across the UK and Ireland. Having outgrown our current space at Greenbank Industrial Estate, our new home will be located at the Warrenpoint-end of the estate, offering us the room to continue delivering excellence to our customers.

Founded in 2013 by Andrew O’Brien, MyLife has grown from a team of just four people to over 130 employees across three key locations—Newry, Wishaw in Scotland, and Southam in England. Our new facility, expected to open in Summer 2026, will further strengthen our operational capabilities with 85,000 sq ft dedicated to warehousing and 30,000 sq ft for office space and a brand-new showroom.

Building for the future

“Our growth over the past 12 years has been driven by the quality of our products, innovative designs, and our incredible team,”

“This investment is a reflection of our confidence in the business and our ambition for the future. The new facility will allow us to continue expanding our product range, enhance our customer experience, and create new job opportunities as we move forward.”

~ Andrew O’Brien, Founder of MyLife Bathrooms.

“This new facility is a key step in strengthening our market position. With additional space, we will be able to broaden our product offering while also introducing a purpose-built showroom for our retailer customers, a technical and testing area, and a brand-new training academy—reinforcing our commitment to excellence and innovation.”

~ Managing Director, Grainne Fearon

Designed for Growth and Sustainability

The new MyLife building has been expertly designed by Tania and Colin Dalton of CD Architects, with construction led by Kelly Brothers from Warrenpoint. Work has already commenced, and we are excited to see our vision take shape.

Colin Dalton shares:

“This project has been seven years in the making, and seeing it come to life is incredible. The MyLife headquarters will be a flagship building in Newry, designed for the future using sustainable building practices. Its prime location at Greenbank Industrial Estate means it will be highly visible to commuters along the A2 Warrenpoint Road.”

Ronan Kelly, Managing Director of Kelly Brothers LLP, adds:

“We are proud to be part of this landmark project. As a fellow family-run business in South Down, we understand the importance of investing in the local economy, and this facility will be built to the highest standards of quality and efficiency.”

Looking Ahead

From humble beginnings in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse in Newry, MyLife has grown into a trusted brand serving over 700 customers across the UK and Ireland. This latest investment is not just about expansion—it’s about our commitment to excellence, our customers, and our team.

We can’t wait to relocate to our new home in 2026 and continue providing the quality, reliability, and service that MyLife Bathrooms is known for. Stay tuned for updates as we build towards an exciting future!

Summer Bathroom Refresh Ideas: 5 Tips for Brightening Up Your Bathroom this Season

Denise Doyle — Tue, 16 Jul 2024 08:29:14 +0000

Summer is the perfect time to refresh your home, and what better place to start than your bathroom? This often-overlooked space can be transformed into a bright, inviting retreat with just a few simple updates. Here are some creative and practical ideas to help you brighten up your bathroom for the summer season.

1. Incorporate Light and Airy Colours

Summer is all about light and freshness. Swap out darker, wintery hues for lighter shades. Consider painting the walls a soft pastel or a crisp white to instantly brighten the space. Adding colourful accents from our Serra Furniture range, available in five stunning colours—Black, Dark Blue, Grey Beige, Soft Sage, and White Matt—can bring a vibrant summer feel to your bathroom.

2. Add Natural Elements

Bring a bit of the outdoors inside by incorporating natural elements. Add potted plants or fresh flowers to your bathroom. Not only do they add a touch of nature, but they create a relaxing ambience. Consider easy-to-maintain plants like aloe vera, snake plants, or peace lilies.

3. Update Your Storage Solutions

Clutter can make a bathroom feel cramped and dark. Opt for stylish storage solutions that keep your bathroom essentials organised and out of sight. Our Calia furniture range in Tobacco Oak is a beautiful cabinet with perfect storage and adds some natural tones to your bathroom. This also come in Fine Greige and Tempered Grey Matt.

4. Revamp Your Mirror

Mirrors can enhance the sense of space and light in your bathroom. A well-placed mirror can reflect light and make the room feel bigger and brighter. Consider upgrading to our Octa LED Mirror to add some ambience to your space.

5. Install a New Showerhead

Upgrade your shower experience with a new showerhead. Consider options like a rainfall showerhead, such as our Ryver Shower Head, for a spa-like feel. This can make your showers more refreshing and enjoyable during the hot summer months.

Create Your Perfect Shower Escape

Eoin Banahan — Fri, 12 Apr 2024 09:52:49 +0000

The shower is a vital part of our daily routine, it’s where we do some of our best thinking, wake ourselves up after a good night’s sleep, or wash away our cares and worries after a busy day.

From the minimalism of a wetroom to the warmth of a full enclosure, step inside and enjoy our refreshing range of shower choices at MyLife Bathrooms.

WONDERFUL WETROOMS

You can turn your bathroom into a sleek, contemporary haven with a wetroom. They are made to be easily accessible, practical, and stylish, resulting in a smooth and transparent bathing experience.

Our Emmi 8mm Wetroom Range is available in various layout combinations with four colour profile options to create your dream luxurious shower space. For those seeking something a little alternative for their wetroom, our Emmi 8mm Curved Wetroom Range is the ideal statement piece, and is protected with MyShield Easy-Clean Glass to prevent limescale and soap build up.

ENCLOSED SHOWERS

In contrast to wetrooms, shower enclosures feature glass doors and panels to contain the heat of your shower. So if you prefer a hot shower experience, then an enclosure might suit you better!

At MyLife Bathrooms, we have multiple shower enclosures to choose from including our Mina 6mm or MY8 8mm range, both with various layout options, such as bi-fold doors or sliding doors, to suit your bathroom space perfectly.

DUAL-USE SHOWER BATHS

When space is limited, shower baths become a perfect choice by utilizing the corner area of your bathroom. The dual-use bath can save valuable floor space for showering, whilst offering a generous, functional bathing area.

Opt for our Ryver Bath Kit which conveniently features a brass head for showering, wall handset for rinsing down, and an overflow bath filler without the need for deck-mounted taps. The 3-in-1 kit is supported by our Universal Easy-Plumb Concealed Valve Box that connects directly to pipework inside your wall meaning all connections are hidden for a clean, smooth look.

CONCEALED OR EXPOSED

Concealed Showers are the ideal option for a bathroom with a minimalist design, or for anyone who wishes to create straight edges and eliminate clutter, because the valve and any pipework are hidden beneath the tiles.

Our Ryver Shower Kit 3 offers a stunning, sleek appearance which can be upgraded with Knurled or Fluted handles, and is available in Chrome, Matt Black, Brushed Brass or Gun Metal.

Exposed Showers can be installed and serviced without needing to access the wall cavity, making them ideal for quick updates or when simplicity is key.

Exposed valves offer a distinctive look that can complement a range of bathroom styles, especially the traditional look. Our Farnham Traditional Shower can offer you that beautiful, elegant feel.

CHOOSE YOUR SHADE

From Chrome to Brushed Brass, Matt Black to Gun Metal, the choice is yours! It’s important to consider how the colour of your brassware will complement your bathroom’s existing fixtures and décor.

Choosing the right finish can elevate the look of your bathroom and add that wow factor to your bathroom design. Chrome is always a timeless classic that never dates, Matt Black is a perfect contrast against lighter tiles, Brushed Brass can add warmth to your space or Gun Metal offers an industrial, quirky vibe.

Our Dayla Exposed Thermostatic Square Shower featured above comes in all four shades and could add the perfect touch to your bathroom!

4 Green Bathroom Ideas

Eoin Banahan — Fri, 15 Mar 2024 09:42:40 +0000

If you’re looking for some bathroom inspiration, look no further than these gorgeous green bathroom ideas!

From cool and modern, to earthy and natural, there’s a style for everyone. Take a look at our top green bathroom ideas to give you some inspiration.

Think Green with your Furniture

Furniture can be an easy way to inject a pop of colour into your bathroom. If you have a plain white vanity, consider switching it out for one with a green finish. This will instantly introduce some colour to the room and can be tailored to any style or theme.

Our recently launched Serra in Soft Sage is perfect to inject an earthy green colour that will intertwine with calming natural tones and rustic woody bathroom features.

The Hampton in Sage Green is a beautiful vocal point for your bathroom with a cool grey undertone that works best for a modern look.

For those wanting a stronger pop of colour, our Axel in Forest Green is a statement piece that not only looks stylish, but offers ample storage for all your toiletries.

Go cUSTOM FOR A COLOURFUL CHARM

Imagine the option of picking over 2500 RAL colours for your bathroom? We love this stunning colour-matching green on our new Bann Freestanding Bath and Asha Dolocast Freestanding Basin!

Achieve this green statement look in your bathroom by using our MyColour Custom Painting Service for your baths and basins!

work it with tiles

Another simple way of incorporating green into your bathroom is through the use of patterns and textures with tiles or panelling, even better is using a feature wall to really impress your guests!

These trendy terrazzo tiles with a subtle grey and green speckle are the perfect match to a neutral white based of our new Mourne Freestanding Bath and Axel Vanity Unit, whilst complementing the industrial gun metal tones of our Finn LED Mirror.

NaTURAL gREENS

Not only do plants bring that little bit of happiness and nature into our home, they also help cleanse our interior spaces especially a hardworking space like a family bathroom, plus bathrooms are the perfect space for plants because of the moisture and humidity levels in the room.

Opt for hanging plants from the ceiling if you’re limited on space or introduce a large statement pot with your plant of choice to really make an impact!
