Householders lucky enough to have a bathroom window that allows the sunlight to pour in may have noticed one down-side to having a south-facing water closet.
According to the Clarendon Patch's self-confessed decorating diva Merlisa Lawrence Corbett, solar exposure to fabric, posters, walls and floors can lead to bleaching and one of the best ways to prevent this from happening is by introducing a window tint to the smallest room.
She advised keen DIY jobbers to consider having these installed by a professional as a cracked layer of the shading material can look unsightly, especially if householders are very house-proud about their bathroom suites.
And people considering a new set of curtains for their water closet have been advised by Ms Lawrence Corbett to invest in sun-resistant materials that are impervious to solar bleaching, keeping window fabrics bright and colourful.
Last week, Restaurant Makeover presenter Glen Peloso told YourHome.ca that people planning to give their bathrooms an overhaul should consider classic styles and good lighting.
