Invest in a slimline storage trolley

Keep essentials such as towels and toiletries on a neat cart that can be wheeled from basin to shower to bath so you won't need to double up on supplies or storage space. Choose a slimline design that can be tucked out of the way when not in use.

Mix and match materials

Make a feature of your basin by matching it to your walls. Here a stunning smooth marble covers the top half of the wall and meets a textured concrete below. The basin sits on a block of the same marble, which cleverly ties the two materials together. A well-positioned shelf adds to the linear look and provides additional space for accessories.
