The range of Mira Mini’s (Miniluxe, Minibelle, Miniduo and Minilite) offer the same performance of a standard Mira mixer shower but with a 50% smaller valve.

Mini mixers offer a more streamlined and minimal aesthetic in your bathroom, perfect for small bathrooms and those who want to de-clutter.

Available in both standard and vertical styles.

I like the concept of less clutter, but do they deliver the same oomph. Mira claim so and I’ve yet to hear otherwise.

The flight shower tray is light and cool on the feet, yet extremely durable.  It also keeps its colour to keep your bathroom looking great.

If you like your showers hi tech, the new Mira Magna Digital caters for you.

image

It has been billed as a “super stylish digital shower with cutting edge technology and available with a waterveil head for wider shower coverage”.

As a digital shower it allows full programmability, so the whole family can store their desired settings. This is a great idea considering I always end up getting scalded after my wife has taken her ablutions!

Remote control use also means you never need step into a cold shower again as you can turn Mira Magna on from another room.

The little boy gadget lover inside me just loves this piece of kit. Whether it’s actually any good is another question?

Over the next few days we’re going to be letting you know about the new Mira Eco Range of shower units.

image

The new range of handsets and fixed heads reduce water consumption by up to 75% without impairing shower performance. Not bad in context of rocketing water bills.

With a further doff of the cap to green credentials - the Eco range carries the Waterwise ‘Water Marque’ and comes in recyclable cardboard packaging.

In addition £1 from every purchase goes to WaterAid, guaranteeing a £10k donation for the charity.

The dressing of a completed room is crucial to achieving a finished product. It’s particularly important if you’re looking to sell after a renovation project.

The old chestnuts are things like putting flowers on tables and brewing coffee - which are all meant to help a sale. But what about artwork?

Personally, I think it’s crucial. A good quality canvas can cover up a multitude of sins and create the illusion of more space.
