Next is one of the biggest names there is when it comes to clothing. But did you know they sell bathrooms as well? They have moved into the bathroom arena to offer a wide range of items for this room – and they have another website to focus on it too.
You don't need to visit the main Next website; the address you need to know is www.nextbathrooms.co.uk. A nice easy one to remember! And as you will see, the line across the top of the page takes you to all the relevant areas of the bathroom range.
The words 'furniture and accessories' appear at the far right hand side of the two tone bar near the top of the home page. A drop down menu will appear when you hover over this, but if you click on the main heading you will be able to see the main page for that section.
The direct link for this particular web page is http://www.nextbathrooms.co.uk/furniture-and-accessories.
If you are expecting a huge range of fitted units in all kinds of styles, you would do better to try a main DIY store. Next offers classic items that will bring out the best in a small bathroom, and as such they are mostly freestanding and highly stylish.
They have a section called 'vanity units and shelves', which you may not think is worth a look in. But the vanity units are very nice and they even have a unit which is similar to a long sideboard. Vanity tables like this are a great way to modernise your bathroom and enjoy a different look.
Some of the vanity units are much larger than a single fitted sink unit would be on its own. Combinations of drawers and cupboards are possible here, and they make use of the space under the sink as well.
The product pages are very well done – particularly when it comes to the photo of the item. You will notice that if you hover your mouse over the photo, a picture of a magnifying glass will pop up. If you then click on part of the photo and move your mouse around, you will see that you can take a closer look at any part of it, and zoom in or out as necessary.
There are other pages of information at the bottom of the page too, including a page about delivery, which states that it is free of charge.
Yes you can – simply add the items you require into your 'bag'. Once you have done this you will see the total increasing at the top of the page in small type. The screen goes darker at this point and you have the option to carry on shopping or process your order.
You can look at what you have chosen at any point by going into the shopping bag link near the top of the page. Make sure the items are correct and then press the checkout button on the right hand side.
There is a five step process to placing your order, and this will place you on the second stage of five. Make sure that when you come to actually pay, the connection is secure.
Next has made a big name for itself in clothing. And now it is aiming to make a big name for itself in the world of bathrooms as well. The ranges aren't as big as you would see in huge DIY stores, but they are clearly aiming at another section of the market.
What Next does well is to focus on single units that look good in any space. They prefer the modern and simple look that really fits well in an up to date bathroom. If that is what you are after, make sure you opt for Next Bathrooms.
