Free standing tub

There is something so magical about a freestanding tub. It is more than an aesthetic; it’s a thing of luxury, even romance. Finding the right shape tub is important for what is usually a small space. A soft curved tub can bring softness to an angular room, where as a more boxy or sleek tub can complement pastels or a bathroom with striking features.

Selling tips

 Clean, clean, clean, clean, clean. Everything else is secondary. Forget baking cookies, vanilla scented candles or cinnamon potpourri. You know what a prospective buyer wants to smell? Nothing. That’s right, no animal smells, cigarette smoke, burned dinners or anything else associated with lack of cleanliness, or animal smells. So do yourself a favour, and clean your house from top to bottom, and keep it clean during the selling process. That includes making the beds daily, having the dishes done, the coats hung up, and paper and clutter put away.
