Bathroom

  • A bold monochrome bathroom with striking fittings

    This luxurious bathroom was created by architectural interior designer Louise Putman of Recreate Interiors, recreateinteriors.co.uk, who knocked two former children’s bedrooms together to create a spacious en suite to the master bedroom. The owners wanted a relaxing retreat with a design that was sympathetic

    to the age of the property so a longer-than-average elegant freestanding bath became the focal point of her design.

  • A striking marble bathroom that oozes hotel style

    For natural elegance and timelessness, designer Hollie Bowden chose bookmatched Arabescato marble, with an inlaid nickel trim. In a smaller room, like this is, she believes in keeping the number of materials to a minimum, as it is more dramatic, maximizes the look and also feels more cohesive and fluid. Nickel was chosen for the brassware for its understated glamour.

  • Tropical bathroom inspired by warm Hawaiian shores

    Contrasting textures are a great way to introduce a sense of depth to a scheme. Here, a subtle raffia wall covering throws the smooth curves of the bath into eye-catching relief.

  • Classic bathroom with beautiful artefacts

    Opting for a single muted colour in an eggshell finish for walls, panelling and window frames will create a blank canvas, allowing furniture and curios to stand out.

  • Sophisticated bathroom with classic, Italian style

    Classic and timeless, Arabescato marble with its striking veining embodies Italian elegance at its very best. Additional shades of grey on the blind and the wall ceramics bring cohesion to this simple, stylish look.

  • Classic coastal bathroom with artwork

    The classic coastal theme can be extended to the bathroom where painted panelling and a plinth help define the bathing area.

  • Monochrome bathroom scheme with whimsical wallpaper

    In this inviting bathroom, the block colour of the wall panelling and floor allows a wonderfully whimsical wallpaper with a strong motif to shine. Meanwhile, understated border details on the curtain and the towels help to pull the look together for a cohesive feel.

  • Classic country bathroom with roll-top bath

    To give a classic roll-top bath a contemporary feel, consider simple rather than decorative feet and opt for a delicate painted border instead of an all-over colour. Fixing hooks to a foraged birch branch provides extra hanging space and add a whimsical touch.

  • Bathroom mural

    Statement bathroom with dotty wallcovering

    This distinctive waterproof wall covering is an innovative alternative to tiles and, with its quirky daubed design, brings a softer feel to this contemporary bathroom scheme.

  • Vibrant green bathroom with botanical-inspired wallpaper

    Small spaces can be elevated with bold decorating choices, like this compelling pictorial terrarium wallpaper and moody moss-green tongue-and-groove panelling.

  • Bathroom with a rich palette of tonal browns

    Accents of amber and ochre bring softness and a touch of Eastern spice to a sleek modern bathroom sanctuary. The simple motif on the blind is reminiscent of Indian woodblocks, while a mother-of-pearl inlaid Rajasthani cabinet adds character.

  • Bathroom with indigo-patterned wallpaper and traditional fixtures

    A cheerful indigo-patterned wallpaper above good old-fashioned tongue-and-groove panelling creates a classic bathroom. Paired with a smart bronze basin and tap unit, this space feels fit for a town or country house.

  • Contemporary bathroom with patterned Moroccan floor tiles

    From seagrass and bamboo to rattan and cane, natural woven textures are ideal for bringing interiors to life. Hints of pink in the patterned Moroccan floor tiles and an exotic influence to this modern bathroom.

  • Bathroom with Greek influence and Moorish design

    An adjoining bathroom offers an opportunity for more adventurous decorating, as shown here with the string wall colour and chequered flooring. Echoing the palette of the bedroom scheme ensures a unified look.

  • English country-style bathroom with turquoise bath

    Muted walls ensure the turquoise bath makes a strong statement, with a fine black line offering a modern take on the traditional dado rail.

  • Traditional bathroom with gingham accents

    The artful blend of a traditional soft-pink gingham curtain and modem oversized floor tiles brings a rich sense of character to this pleasing scheme.
