If you live in Brisbane and have detected unusual smells emanating from your bathroom or plumbing fixtures, there are various bathroom supplies that can be used to get rid of undesired odours and to reduce the likelihood of similar problems occurring in the future.
Identifying The Source Of Odours
Strong and persistent smells coming from bathrooms are often indicative of serious plumbing problems, and these will usually require the attention of a professional.
However, learning a little about how your plumbing operates and connects could help you identify the source of unpleasant odours yourself, many of which originate in waste outlets under baths, basins and toilets and may occur when seals on these fittings become broken.
Eliminating Bathroom Smells
Plumbers can only achieve so much when fixing problems that cause bad smells in bathrooms, but some of these odours are easily preventable with a little care and attention - particularly when it comes to clogged shower drains that are not regularly cleared of debris. Frequent use of chemical or biological cleaning products is also recommended for keeping bathroom fixtures and plumbing in peak condition, as well as improving overall hygiene and health - with many serious health risks originating in sewers and being transmitted to homes through faulty drains.

As a leading retailer of bathroom supplies in Brisbane, Builders Discount Warehouse understands the value of taking preventative measures in your home. Checking your bathroom taps and other plumbing fixtures regularly can reduce the risk of blockages occurring, and learning how to fix blocked pipes yourself could save you the cost of hiring a plumber.
Causes Of Blocked Pipes
The most common reason indoor pipes become blocked is due to hair and other materials and debris being washed down plugholes and building up in the pipes, sometimes becoming trapped due to the presence of grease or fat. As the available space inside pipes becomes increasingly narrow, less water will be able to flow through, and in extreme cases this can cause a total blockage.
Clearing Blocked Pipes And Drains
If you suspect there is a blockage in your pipes or drains, due to water flowing at lower pressure or in lower quantities than usual, you will need to track down the source - which requires some knowledge of how your home's plumbing system operates.
Common areas of blockage include floor drains in showers, which can be cleared by running a garden hose into the room, while other blockages may be further into your plumbing system, in house traps and clear outs. In these instances, you should lay down enough paper and other absorbent materials to soak up backed-up water and make sure you always have the right tools for the job, such as pipe wrenches and plungers. You can also use chemical drain cleaners to remove certain materials from pipes.

If you're thinking of giving your bathroom a stylish makeover in the New Year, carefully considering everything from lighting to your bathroom vanity units and other fixtures could create a variety of different effects - and looking back to the most popular designs of the year so far could provide inspiration.
In this video from Ocean Bathrooms, design expert Robert Muhl identifies four distinct trends that proved popular in bathrooms this year, suited to different types of properties as well as individual tastes. One major trend is for open plan bathrooms incorporating glass screen partitions and wet floors to create a greater sense of space, which may incorporate freestanding baths to enhance the sense of luxury.
By using neutral colours such as beige, cream, brown and white, you can achieve a timeless look that will ensure your new bathroom remains stylish for many years, as well as giving you greater freedom in your choice of décor. For a splash of colour, you may consider painting radiators and other key features in vibrant shades, such as red.
When choosing fittings such as bathroom taps and vanity units, it can be important to buy major brand names to guarantee greater longevity and quality, as well as making it more likely that these products will be covered by warranty and that replacement parts will be readily available if needed. If you're planning a bathroom makeover and you're looking for quality bathrooms supplies in Brisbane, including baths, showers, vanities, tapware and handleware, contact Builders Discount Warehouse on 07 3188 1926.

Visiting your local bathroom warehouse could give you a number of ideas for improving the functionality of your bathrooms, especially when furnishing smaller spaces.
Choosing bathroom furnishings
There are several core fittings common to most bathrooms, with the exception of split bathrooms that may only feature a toilet or separate shower. Choosing baths, showers, sinks and toilets made from quality materials will ensure that these furnishings last for many years, and you can also create coherence and unity in your bathroom by installing or replacing these fittings simultaneously. However, it's also important to consider other features of your bathroom that can improve its functionality - the most important being mirrors installed at a suitable level for all people in your household. Making sure you install suitable lighting is also important for safety.
Designing small bathrooms
More compact bathrooms need special consideration when choosing fittings to install or leave out, with baths often being the first things to go, replaced with more compact freestanding showers. You can make the greatest use of space in smaller bathrooms by installing small toilets with shorter projections and wall-mounted sinks, rather than free-standing units. Vertical storage units can also be a great space-saving measure, especially when these are arranged to fit snugly above, below or between other fittings to ensure no additional floor space is taken up.

Colour is an important consideration when choosing bathroom taps and fittings, not only to create coherence in your room but also to help occupants feel more relaxed and to unwind.
Best Colours For Relaxation
Research has demonstrated the importance of colour to creating and maintaining mood, particularly when it comes to the colour schemes of rooms. Although different people have individual preferences, there are common effects associated with certain parts of the spectrum - such as red creating a more alert and stimulated mood and blues and natural greens being ideal for relaxation.
When it comes to bathrooms specifically, tranquil colours are especially important to help people relax, and many interior designers agree that blue shades such as grey-blue, turquoise and pastel blue can be used to great effect in these rooms. You don't have to stick to blue either, with peach, pale greens and cream also being effective comfort colours.
Functional Benefits Of Colour
As well as promoting relaxation, bathroom colour schemes can also have practical advantages. This includes making effective use of bright and airy shades to create a greater sense of space, an effect that can be boosted with strategic use of mirrors. Making sure bathrooms are well lit is also important for safety and to ensure you have the necessary illumination for performing tasks in front of mirrors.
