8 Ways to Upgrade Kitchens & Bathrooms
As two of the most function-heavy rooms in any home, it’s important that your kitchen and bathroom are both spaces that are not only great for practical use, but that you also feel comfortable and happy spending time in. Your kitchen and bathroom should be tailored to the needs of you and your family whilst also reflecting your individual tastes. If you feel that these criteria aren’t being met - perhaps these spaces feel out-of-date style-wise, or your family is growing and you need more space - it might be a sign that it’s time for a revamp. In this guide, we’ve outlined some of the key ways that you can upgrade your kitchens and bathrooms to create spaces that you’ll never want to leave.
Bathrooms
Shower Installations
Many homeowners experience the dread of having to use a dingy, low-functioning shower everyday. As the centrepiece of the bathroom, having an out-of-date shower can affect your mood and might even make you dislike using the space in general. Although it doesn’t necessarily have to be luxurious, your shower should nonetheless be somewhere that you feel you can come to relax, pamper yourself and wash away the business of your day. And with so many shower upgrades available in this day and age, there are so many ways that you can customise your shower experience.
Shower enclosures in particular can be one of the most effective ways to add efficiency and style to your bathroom. They give you the necessary privacy, and you’ll never find yourself worrying about a wet floor. At Bells The Dulwich Kitchen and Bathroom Company, we stock a range of modern, contemporary shower enclosures to give your bathroom a luxurious feel at a highly competitive price. Our staff will help you choose between bi-fold, pivot, walk-in, slider or corner-entry shower enclosures based on the specific design of your bathroom. You can also choose between hand-held or wall-mounted shower systems depending on your preferences. Gear up for the day ahead or unwind in the evening with our range of powerful and efficient showers, which includes leading brands such as:
● Aqualisa
● JTP
● Bristan
Once you’ve chosen your new shower upgrade, why not make your bathroom stand out even more with our range of stunning shower accessories? From smart cabinets to towel hangers, you can discuss the design of your bathroom with our team and they will help you to choose accessories that utilise the space efficiently.
Wet Rooms
A wet room is an open-plan, completely waterproof bathroom space which has a shower area that is flush with the rest of the floor in the room. Water is drained through a flush drain that is located in the shower portion of the room. Wet rooms are a perfect choice for people with mobility issues as they eliminate the need to step in or out of a traditional bath or shower. They are also great for optimising space in your bathroom, are extremely easy to clean and add a modern touch to your home. No need to worry about what materials your home is made out of, as wet rooms are even suitable for properties constructed out of timber.
If you would like to make your bathroom more accessible whilst maintaining a sleek look, why not take a look at the range of wet rooms available from Bells The Dulwich Kitchen and Bathroom Company? Our wet rooms offer a safe bathing solution that is ideal if yourself or a family member finds it physically challenging to use a bath. We supply wet room panels and trays in a variety of styles and designs from leading manufacturers, including Lakes, Simpsons, Novellini, Impey & Bette.

Selected for their style and functionality, the beautiful taps and mixers available from Bells The Dulwich Kitchen and Bathroom Company make a perfect addition to your home.

What’s more, we also supply all of the necessary plumbing supplies to help make the installation job that little bit easier. Choose from renowned brands such as:
● Bristan
Radiators
The heating system in your bathroom can be an absolute game-changer. There’s nothing quite like stepping out of the shower and wrapping yourself in a warm towel that’s been sitting on your heated towel rail. Not only do radiators and heated towel rails work to keep your bathroom nice and toasty, but with the selection at Bells The Dulwich Kitchen and Bathroom Company you won’t be forced to compromise on style either - our designs are incredibly stylish and available in a number of colours. Choose from leading brands, including Apollo Radiators, Bisque, JIS Sussex Range, Liquid Solutions, Vogue and Zehnder.
Kitchens
Stovetops
In the process of upgrading your kitchen, you might find yourself faced with the decision over which type of worktops or floors to buy, or even deliberating over whether or not you need more cabinets. Out of all of these choices, finding the right stovetop that is going to fit best in your kitchen space is a crucial step in the remodelling process. Because stovetops require a lot of ‘behind the scenes’ work, there’s a lot to consider, such as figuring out whether you have the correct structure in place to have an extractor fan, or if your home would best support an electric, gas or induction hob. Regardless of your choice, at Bells The Dulwich Kitchen and Bathroom Company, we can help you integrate your new appliances into your kitchen layout to optimise functionality and overall appeal. As we buy directly from manufacturers, you can rest assured that you’ll be getting a fantastic deal on your new stovetop.
Wine Coolers
Nothing elevates the look and feel of your kitchen quite like a wine cooler. Whether you are a wine connoisseur or simply enjoy having a nice glass to unwind after a long day, not only do wine coolers allow you to store your wine at the correct temperature to stop it from ageing badly, but they also look fantastic in your home. You can proudly show off your favourite or most expensive bottles with a glass door, and the amount of styles and designs available means that you can always find one to match the interior design of your kitchen. Choosing a wine cooler from Bells The Dulwich Kitchen and Bathroom Company means that you’ll benefit from selections from leading brands, such as Caple and AEG, alongside expert advice from our team on how to choose the right wine cooler design to suit your kitchen space.
Fridges
Regardless of whether you are an avid cook or not, upgrading your fridge really is a no-brainer. Modern or smart refrigerators consume much less energy, which is not only great for the environment but also helps you to save money on your bills, all the while still keeping your produce fresh. Smart fridges will even connect with your devices, allowing you to control some of their functions remotely.
Whether you require a smaller larder fridge, a fridge freezer, a fridge with a freezer compartment or integrated refrigeration, Bells The Dulwich Kitchen and Bathroom company is bound to have the right solution for your needs. We’ll help you integrate your new appliance seamlessly into your kitchen’s layout, ensuring that it provides functionality and style in equal measure. Choose from leading brands, including Bosch, Neff and Siemens.

Upgrading your worktops can give your kitchen an entirely new look. Whether you’re looking for something rustic and classic, or want an entirely modern look, the aesthetic possibilities are endless when it comes to kitchen worktops. At Bells The Dulwich Kitchen and Bathroom Company, we supply worktops that are elegant, easy to clean and suit every budget. Our material offerings include:
