Bathroom

Our bathroom ideas that are both beautiful and functional – the perfect combination to kickstart your remodel

In the past couple of years, the nation's bathroom ideas have undergone something of a dramatic transformation. No longer simply functional rooms where we could begin and end our days, bathroom decor ideas are now much more likely to be at-home wellness centers where we unwind, escape, rejuvenate and repair – and this has had a big effect on not just how bathrooms look but how we design them.

This means giving what space we can in our existing bathrooms to luxury features, which means good bathroom design relies on a good combination of form and function.

Whether you are planning on updating your master bathroom, upgrading a shower room or turning unused space into a luxurious ensuite, we can help you with a vast array of bathroom ideas to suit your taste, from colors and materials to finishes and shapes. Plus, we have selected the world's top bathroom and design experts to offer you unrivalled bathroom design advice.

The bathroom is one of the only rooms in the house where you can, literally, lock yourself in for some “me” time. Rather than creating a purely utilitarian space, it makes sense to create a sanctuary where you can relax, refresh and revive,’

‘It’s all about creating a calm sanctuary, where every item is carefully considered and designed in. Freestanding baths are synonymous with luxurious bathroom design, and they create a real statement in a serene spa environment. Rainfall showers with a generously proportioned shower head are now standard in spa-style bathrooms.’

Note the only-just-discernable horizontal stripes of the marble tiles in this bathroom? This, together with the reflective surfaces and pale colors will make the bathroom feel larger: wider and longer. The fact that the marble is carried through to the vanity unit will ensure the space feels larger, too.

One big misconception is that if you love neutrals you don’t love color, but actually there are a myriad of stunning, neutral shades that work so well together to create a perfect bathroom decor scheme, like this sophisticated grey bathroom idea shown above. ‘An effective way to add character to a neutral bathroom space is to introduce a rich, warm finish such as brass within the sanitary ware and detailing. This helps to create visual interest as the brass complements pared back, neutral palettes particularly well, whilst further enhancing the natural beauty of the marble.'
