1. COLOUR PALETTE: DARK AND MOODY
“Darker colours can create a sense of grandeur in the bathroom,” says Sandra Brand, marketing manager of Hansgrohe Singapore. “It may be unnerving to begin such a dramatic transformation, so start with small steps by using wallpapers or countertops in a dark colour.”
Don’t be afraid to include wallpaper in the bathroom; it can be treated with a water-resistant layer to withstand splashes and humidity. “You can select a dark finish for the toilet seat and lid so that it blends in with the wallpaper,” recommends Hannah Cecil Gurney, director of De Gournay.
2. SHAPE: RECTILINEAR FORMS
If you prefer a more streamlined and modern aesthetic, Design Intervention principal Nikki Hunt recommends fixtures and furnishings that feature rectilinear forms. “Rectilinear pieces are good for small bathrooms, but can make the space appear too clinical. Avoid this by incorporating earthy elements like wood cabinetry and indoor plants,” says Hunt.
3. FEATURE: THE LIGHT STUFF
It is also crucial to choose the right lighting products to create the ambience you’re looking for. “Make sure the amount of light in your bathroom can be increased or reduced so you can create your desired mood and atmosphere,” says Hunt. Good choices include the dimmable lamps from Michael Anastassiades’ Brass Architectural collection, which offers wall-mounted as well as ceiling mounted options.
