THE STYLE BOOK: BATHROOM TRENDS

If you’re planning a renovation, check out our favourite bathroom looks – from modern-country spa styles to elegant vintage inspired schemes

Elegant VINTAGE

Inject glamour with luxe finishes

the STYLE RULES

MAKE A STATEMENT

Choose a retro design with a slightly worn effect for the tiles and pair with panelled walls to replicate a heritage feel with plenty of character.

ADD PERSONALITY

For a vintage finish, swap a pedestal basin for a salvaged vanity unit. Scour second-hand shops and online marketplaces for an old wooden cabinet to upcycle and then finish with a waterproof top and ceramic basin.

MARRY OLD WITH NEW

Juxtapose shabby chic features with black modern accessories. A gold baroque-style mirror adds a hint of vintage charm.

TIMELESS TOUCHES

Wall-to-wall white is the base note for this bathroom, but it’s the half-painted chalky blue panelling that gives it its edge.

Maximal LUXE

Spark interest with marble, brass and black

the STYLE RULES

BIG AND BOLD

For an instant update, consider tiling the floor or even behind the sink with a decorative design. Go with uniform stars or mix and match with plain tiles.

CHOOSE ALL-OUT DRAMA

Black and white is the perfect pairing – the large white tiles and free-standing bath reflect light, allowing expanses of black to create a dramatic impact.
