If you are at home this Christmas, you may find yourself in the kitchen cooking up a feast, but please give a thought to your guests who will at some point visit your bathroom. With the festive season looming Anna - Nadia Tweed suggests some top tips for a mini bathroom makeover.
Does your bathroom need jazzing up in time for Christmas? Look no further than your local DIY store. It's easier than you think to transform your space from drab to fab. By selecting the right paint for each area, it's possible to revive items that you thought were beyond help.
* For tatty cupboards, use Furniture and Cupboard Paint, even an easy job such as this can make tired furniture look as good as new.
* A coat of paint can really perk up an old radiator. Get some Radiator Enamel Aerosol and spray on the solution. It is designed specifically for changing temperatures, so won't yellow or flake with the heat.
* If you are looking for a white wonderland, and all you've got is a drab dated mess, use Tile Paint. You don't need to rip out old tiles, just paint over the top.
* If you've had a leak, which has resulted in stains on the wall, the answer is Stain Block Paint. Once the problem has been fixed, paint over the patch and leave to dry. The resulting stain-free surface can then be painted over with a normal emulsion.
