When designing and imagining your new <a href=\"http:\/\/steven-james.co.uk\/bathrooms\/\">bespoke bathroom<\/a>, you may not consider adding any technology, but why? Technology has now been developed to be inside of the bathroom, where as previously, it was mostly either outlawed, or very dangerous.

Want to change the water temperature? Done. Want to listen to the radio? Done. Just got in the bath without turning off the lights? Done. Want to set the boiler to make hot water for the time you&#8217;re back from work? Done.<\/p>\n<p>Using bluetooth and wifi, this panel connects to taps, radio, boilers and lights. It&#8217;s entirely waterproof, and any wires are hidden within the wall, meaning there&#8217;s no risk with it being exposed to water.<\/p>\n<p>But technology doesn&#8217;t have to be all flash and electronic.

Gone are the days of either scolding yourself on the hot tap, or catching minor hypothermia form the cold tap, a mixer tap takes water from the two temperatures and mixes it for a perfect bearable temperature.<\/p>\n<p>These taps are more common in the USA, however more and more UK households are opting for the singular tap over the traditional two taps due to ease, and convienience.
