3. Heated towel rails
Heated rails are a luxury for drying and warming up towels. Stepping out of your shower straight into a heated towel will keep you so warm this winter. Heated rails also can warm up smaller bathrooms.
The function of heated towel rails can be multi-purposeful as they can also dry damp towels to avoid mould buildup. This will ensure that your towels are dry and warm, ready for you.

4. Have warm showers
Start swapping your shower heads to help be water-wise. Opt for energy-efficient showerhead models that use little water, helping you save water. These energy-efficient shower heads will allow you to shower a little longer and build more steam to warm up your bathroom. When changing the shower head consider getting one providing a wonderful flow of water.
5. Check for basic efficiency in your bathroom
Check your bathroom windows to see if they are letting in any cold air. If your bathroom windows let in cold air, consider replacing the windows or using waterproof fillers like silicone to close the gaps. If you want to keep the temperatures high, getting heavy blinds will help insulate the room.
These little bathroom updates will help your bathroom stay snuggly and warm, even during winter.
