My Top 5 Bathroom Upgrades to Cosy Up Your Space This Autumn
As the crisp autumn mornings roll in and the chill starts to creep into your bones, there’s no better time to give your bathroom a bit of TLC. You don’t need to gut the whole room or spend a fortune—just a few smart upgrades can make a world of difference.
Here are my top 5 bathroom products that are perfect for giving your space a warm, modern makeover. Best part? They can all be retrofitted into your existing bathroom setup. No need for a full renovation—just clever, cost-effective improvements that’ll make your mornings (and evenings) feel a little more luxe.
1. Heated Towel Rails – Warm Towels, Happy Mornings
Let’s be honest, stepping out of a hot shower into a cold towel is the worst. A heated towel rail fixes that fast—offering you toasty towels on demand, while also helping them dry quicker and stay fresher for longer.
They’re stylish, energy-efficient, and come in all shapes and sizes to suit any bathroom. It’s a small luxury that makes a big difference—especially during those brisk Aussie autumn mornings.
2. Heat Lamp & Fan Combo – Banish the Bathroom Chill
Sick of freezing while brushing your teeth or hopping out of the shower? A heat lamp and exhaust fan combo is a game-changer. With one quick flick of a switch, you’ll get instant warmth and better air circulation, helping reduce foggy mirrors, mould, and condensation.
They’re easy to install in most ceilings, and modern versions are sleek, quiet, and built to last. It’s comfort and practicality rolled into one.
3. Add Some Life with Bathroom-Friendly Plants
- Peace Lily – air-purifying and beautiful
- Spider Plant – hardy and low-maintenance
- Aloe Vera – handy to have for skin soothing, too!
4. Upgrade the Throne – Japanese-Style Toilet Seats
If you’ve never tried a Japanese-style bidet toilet seat, you’re seriously missing out. Think heated seats, adjustable water pressure, built-in dryers, and even night lights—yep, it’s that fancy.
It might sound over the top, but trust us—it’s the upgrade you never knew you needed. Just remember, in Australia, any plumbing connections must be done by a licensed plumber to meet standards and keep everything above board.
