Your Perfect Bathroom
These days the bathroom is no longer considered to be merely a utility. Instead it is seen as a space that invigorates you in the morning and helps set the mood for the day ahead. It’s also a place of retreat, where after a long hard day at work you can wash away tension and stress.
While furniture and soft furnishings are easy to replace and to adapt to your personal style, bathrooms seem to be more challenging and expensive to restyle and are therefore often left as they are.
However changing your taps, light fittings and mirror can often be all that is needed to update a tired looking bathroom. Add to this some new towels and accessories such as candles, plants, scented soaps and objects of art and you will easily create your own personal spa.
Clean smooth lines with soft and gentle curves create a relaxing and contemporary bathroom design. Try mixing cabinetry and shelving made from solid woods such as teak or oak with a stone countertop, and look for tiles in warm, earthy tones.
Be sure to clear away all clutter for the calmest, tranquil look. Only have decorative items visible, and stick to a few colours to tie the look together. Natural items will help to create a soothing retreat from your busy life, and a place you can unwind and recharge.
If your bathroom is monochrome, you may want to introduce a warmer feel. The first and easiest step is to start with towels. Extra soft, high quality, heavy weight organic cotton towels can add a great look to your bathroom. Strong bold colours can give an entirely new look and feel to the room.
If the contemporary look is not for you, maybe a country theme is. Country style bathrooms are not what they used to be. Country design means simplicity, handmade items, and natural materials. Imperfection is transformed into elegance and the old becomes timeless. There are a number of vintage fixtures that are perfect for a country bathroom. Consider investing in a claw foot tub, a pedestal sink or antique looking tap levers. Mason jars touched up with fabric or antique glass jars and bottles become perfect storage containers.
Wicker baskets are ideal for use as storage places for towels and washcloths. Find a peg rack for towels and robes. Take out those old, family heirlooms you never use anymore. Consider accessorising with a throw rug, country candles and fresh flowers. A country style bathroom will create a fresh and relaxing bathroom retreat.
Top Tips to style your bathroom
- Tired looking brassware is what usually makes bathrooms look dated. So if your existing suite is in reasonably good shape, revitalise it with new taps and fittings – choosing something with a wow-factor to create the desired impact.
- Dark wood flooring creates a striking contrast against the white fittings. Be sure to choose flooring that is suitable for a wet environment and make sure the joints are sealed with waterproof sealant.
- Replace a standard one-hole tap with a tall, stylish mono-block mixer to create a standout look instantly.
- For a minimalist approach, suspended basins and toilets are a must! Add lots of mirrors, glass and clever storage to hide unnecessary clutter and create the illusion of space.
- Heated towel radiators are now available in several colours and finishes and can make a dazzling feature in any sized bathroom.
- Consider using decorative ladders as practical hanging space for your towels if you want to create a more naturally styled room.
- Using a combination of several different storage solutions is the best way to deal with bathroom clutter. A set of drawers, vanity unit or large cabinet will keep bathroom basics tucked away.
- Inexpensive toiletries can look very glam and wonderful when stored in the right containers. Glass bottles will add glamour whilst decorative jars can be used to store cotton buds, tweezers and other bits.
- Lighting in the bathroom is often overlooked and can be a cost effective way of adding a touch of style.
- New accessories can also give your bathroom an instant facelift. They are available in various styles and materials to suit most tastes.
- A shower curtain is another way to introduce bold colour into your bathroom or if you prefer a more elegant feel a coloured rug will make the room feel warmer.
- Add interest to your bathroom surfaces by using tiles of different scales to create a subtle pattern.
- Take inspiration from beautifully arranged hotel bathrooms and keep freshly laundered towels neatly folded in baskets. Place on a shelf under a table or on an open towel unit.
- Every bathroom needs a mirror and this is a great way to create a focal point in your bathroom. A large mirror will make a small bathroom feel more spacious and if space is really tight a mirror-fronted cabinet can be a great solution.
- Natural tiles on both the floor and walls will add harmony to the modern bathroom and can help maintain an uncluttered look. For that ultra-modern look focus on simplicity.
2009 Bathroom Trends
- For 2009, Puji predicts that bathroom collections will be more organic in shape as basins take on more curvaceous, natural forms.
- Monochrome continues to be a massive trend, and this is becoming more dominant in contemporary products.
- Open plan wet rooms with mosaic walls and river stone floors are still very NOW and keeping a neutral colour scheme will avoid breaking the subtlety of this trendy look.
