Bathroom Design Ideas

The best bathrooms combine aesthetic appeal and functionality. They can also be a space for relaxation and a sanctuary to escape in.

Use colour to create mood and personalise your bathroom. Add texture by introducing different materials such as stone, timber and ceramic tiles. The choice of flooring needs to be both waterproof and non-slip and high gloss tiles or surfaces should be avoided on the floor.

Baths take up a lot of space but they are a great indulgence. Ideally the bath should be long enough for an adult to lie down and relax. A freestanding bath looks great when there is plenty of floor space around it. If space is available in your bathroom design, double basins and or double showers are also a great luxury.

Various lighting combinations are required for different tasks in your bathroom. Directional lighting should be positioned above or beside the mirror, for applying make-up or shaving. Ambient lighting is great when relaxing in the bath.

Good storage is essential in your bathroom design. Towels and toiletries need to be within easy reach.

Selecting and incorporating the right hardware, fittings and fixtures can add wow-factor to your bathroom. Consider bringing the outside into your space by introducing greenery. Apart from visual appeal, plants can deliver health and wellbeing benefits.

As plenty of moisture collects in the bathroom, a paint product which is mould resistant and suitable for wet areas should be used.
