Bathrooms are so much more than the designated place in which to do your ablutions, they are instead a space in which to rest and relax or get ready for the day ahead. Personal style is obviously so varied amongst individuals, so a Bathroom Makeover can provide the perfect space in which you can truly express yourself creatively.
- Be bold
Bright block colours such as pretty peach or daring daffodil may overwhelm another room, but in a smaller space such as a bathroom they can really give the wow factor. Pair them with simple monochrome accessories so that the colour does all the talking.
- Picture perfect
A picture paints a thousand words, and many of us will collect pictures and photographs from around the world to remind us of the places we have been. Why not create a picture gallery wall with your photographs and postcards to create a focal feature in your bathroom? Specialist water tight frames will keep your precious mementos safe from moisture whilst beautifully displaying each image for guests to enjoy.
- Think outside the box
Storage space in a bathroom is key to making this a functional area so why not display your towels, lotions and potions in beautiful bamboo baskets hung on the wall to create a pretty yet practical feature?
- Mirror mirror on the wall
Mirrors are an interior designer’s dream when it comes to decorating rooms that may have little natural light as they make the most of what you have. Why not consider using mirrored tiles around your shower or bath alongside a conventional mirror to create a high gloss, elegant room that literally twinkles and sparkles.
- Marvellous masons
The humbles mason jar has so many uses it is quite unbelievable, but one of our favourites is to hang them on curtain hooks attached to a piece of painted wood and use them as organisers for your bathroom bits and pieces.
- Stud wall space saver
If you have a stud wall in your bathroom, why not find the spaces between the studs and create an alcove to provide additional shelving? For the minimalist lovers you can hide the shelves with a simple mirror to create clean lines with seamless storage, or install vintage drawers for country chic.
- Frame it
Why not get creative and stack two or three gilded and painted frames in contrasting colours to create a dramatic piece of art around your mirror? Better still make the frames work for you by overlaying them to create a bespoke towel rail that keeps your bathroom floor fuss free.
- Terrific Tiles
One of the easiest ways to update a room is with tiles, and with a huge range of tiles available from hi gloss marble through to textured granite, you can find the perfect look and feel to suit any style of interior design.
- Let there be light
Never underestimate the importance of light fixtures in the bathroom, and indeed this is one room in which you can go all out making the light a focal point when Decorating Your Bathroom. Think grand crystal chandelier for sheer opulence or a structural shade to add interest to a chic minimalist space.
- Stone me
A super creative way to conceal an unsightly bathtub is to cover it with adhesive and apply gorgeous textured air stone to give a dramatic finish that will compliment any style!
