This article offers the reader a few bathroom style ideas that are unique in many ways.
The bathroom is the only room in the house where you have a free hand when it comes to decor. If you are planning a revamp, below are a few design ideas to explore.
Marble & Gold
Why not go for the ultimate in luxury? If you have the budget, imported Italian marble is the absolute best and gold-plated fixtures and fittings complete the picture. If you don’t have much tiling experience, check out the ‘how to’ videos on YouTube; it is quite easy if you follow the instructions. Make sure you have all the tools and materials onsite before you start work.
Go Natural With Cork & Bamboo
Cork floor and wall tiles make for a perfect eco-friendly bathroom, while bamboo is a wonder plant that can be used in so many ways. For a central feature, a free-standing oval bath from the Shepperton bath showroom, for example, would be perfect. Invest in some indoor tropical plants and place them in wicker baskets. Colours should be neutral; greens and browns are earthy and add some Asian Buddhist carvings for a soothing ambience.
Country Bathroom
Ceramic tiles are blended with forest pine, with a copper bathtub as a central feature. Add some fresh flowers and dried wheat and grass in wicker baskets, with some potpourri in the corner. White can be a base colour, as can sky-blue or a light beige, with a few antiques carefully placed for good measure. Get creative and make use of textures as well as colour, with as much natural material as possible for a completely rural look.
Go Victorian
Let’s face it, the Victorian look is here to stay. Choose a brand name oval ceramic bath, a free-standing unit and base all other items around that. Luxury vinyl flooring comes in stunning woodgrain and stone finishes and a couple of Victorian wall lamps make for suitable lighting. Start by searching online for specific items, then drive to your local bathroom showroom and check out their wide range of baths, showers, WCs and vanities, along with a huge inventory of fixtures and fittings for a one-shop bathroom solution.
Monochrome
This doesn’t have to be black and white. You can choose any colour and play with shades. An Art Deco bathroom with black, white and red is perfect if you are into that era. Blending different shades of a single colour is very easy on the eye and perfect for a minimalist look. You can get paint in the colour of your choosing if you go to a Dulux specialist, while wallpaper is also on the table.
Google Images can bring some interior design inspiration, and the rest should be easy. List the materials and furniture you need, cost the project and head to a good bathroom showroom. It is crucial that you have everything you need onsite prior to starting work. Don’t try to save money when it comes to bathroom furniture, as you may end up having to replace the pieces after a few years.
