'When installing a grab bar in your shower, just start the screws at all points but do not drive any home just yet. If you have a fastener hole that might be a smidgeon off, it will be a lot easier if your screws are a bit loose. Drive the last screw in that has the largest slot on each side. If you know there is wood behind the fasteners, this is what I do, throw away the included stainless steel screws.

'You need to install a new tile backsplash in your kitchen. Really, this is not just a consideration, it is an absolute necessity. Your current backsplash is so old, carbon dating was needed to discover the year it was installed. It is so old, it is beyond retro and has fallen into the category of just plain ugly. You get the picture, it’s time to replace that backsplash with something sleek, colorful and modern.

'By Steve Patterson. The one thing you need to know about remodelling your bathroom is that it is very important to know what you want to change and what you to remain the same. For example, you may want to change the tiles, but leave the same wallpaper. Or perhaps the other way around, in all cases you need to be aware of what you want to change. Also, the most important thing about remodelling or renovating is your contractor.

'It''s understandable to mistake the Closer showerhead for one of those so-in-vogue light fixtures by Lindsey Adelman or Jean Prouvé. Designed by Diego Grandi, it adjusts in much the same way, its arm and conical spray head pivoting and swiveling freely, to aim the water stream in a pleasing manner. I think the fitting''s vaguely mid-century appearance would be especially eye-catching in a classic white-tiled bathroom. zucchettikos.com.
