To save on costs only use wall tiles where you actually need them such as inside showers then get busy with your paintbrush and add colour to the vanity and bath to add warmth,' says Beth Dadswell, Imperfect Interiors. 'Tiles are a good way to inject a bit of color into a bathroom and there are lots of inexpensive, pretty ones around. The antique French basin was restored by Water Monopoly. The alcove adjacent to the shower has been turned into a unit of drawers built in from the ceiling down and painted in a sky blue to link in with the tile colours. This is particularly true where anything visible might disrupt the impact of the design such as in this bathroom covered in colorful kismet tiles which was designed by Paris-based LSL Architects. Items used on a daily basis will need open bathroom shelves, but others should be stored out of sight to ensure the space feels serene and uncluttered. Whenever planning bathroom ideas from scratch, calculate how much bathroom storage is required and be careful not to underestimate the amount. Consider lighting in the form of beautiful pendants and wall fittings, opt for bespoke statement furniture pieces and incorporate softer furnishings, wallpapers and muted pastel colors,' says Leanne Robey, senior designer, Ripples. 'For a more decorative finish it’s all about the finer details that will make your bathroom ooze with elegance. The result is a soft and tactile finish, which is then carried through in the curves of the avocado-green roll top bath by Water Monopoly, a beautiful look for bathroom ceiling ideas. In this Shoreditch apartment, based on the fourth floor of a former shoe factory, the architects Chan and Earys used a blend of limed oak brushed timber planks with traditional lime plaster mixed with a natural green pigment on the walls and ceiling. Wood-panelled walls introduce a warm and tactile quality in a way that a standard painted finish can never achieve, which makes them perfect for a supremely comfortable, cossetting bathroom environment. 'The decorative aspect is, of course, a personal choice, but I would always recommend placing the emphasis on classic quality and luxury, using materials such as natural marble, mirror glass and polished metal.' 23. Again, this should be from several sources and be controllable, with different settings to match your mood and good close-up lighting by the mirrors. 'Heated towel rails are another must, keeping warm towels always ready to hand,' continues James. 'And finally, lighting. Your bath should be big enough to let you really stretch out and soak and your shower should be large and powerful, preferably with several types of jet, as in our freestanding showers. 'The first essential ingredient of a spa-like bathroom is having enough space to indulge and relax in luxury,' agrees James Lentaigne, Creative Director, Drummonds. Looking for luxury ideas? What could be more luxurious than a deep freestanding bath? Two, of course! Even if you don't have a room large enough for twin tubs, space is an essential ingredient of truly decadent bathing spaces. Introduce texture for interest and warmth We’ve seen customers match a brightly colored bath to a feature wall for a really strong look, while others make a statement by making a metallic bath the star of the show in a more pared back space.’ 17. Incorporating a freestanding bath in a bold metallic finish really does change the feel of the whole room.
Metallic touches in the bathroom are hugely fashionable at the moment, and bronze gives a real sense of luxury. They’re ideal for creating a focal point and adding structure and glamor to a bathroom scheme. ‘Our burnished and polished bath finishes are a popular option for anyone looking for a luxurious look. So how do you make it work if you don’t want more color added to your scheme? You opt for metallics, as Phil Etherden, Managing Director of The Albion Bath Company explains: But it can work really well, and look how this Cavendish Stripe design from Little Greene has been hung – both vertically and horizontally – what a clever trick! When we think of decorating our bathrooms, paint and tiles are usually at the forefront of our minds, and bathroom wallpaper ideas tend to get neglected as an option.
