Bathrooms with 'wow' factor
Take a look at these gorgeous guest bathroom designs that are anything but ordinary. In fact, these designer bathrooms are intended to make an impact - to offer 'wow' factor when you walk into the room - and they most certainly do that !
Living with a small bathroom
Not every home, townhouse, apartment or flat is graced with a luxiriously large bathroom, in fact, most homes have a fairly large master suite and a tiny, cramped second bathroom. Seems a bit silly when you think that the second bathroom is normally the main bathroom used by a family and guests.

Add greenery to bathrooms
While a touch of greenery in the bathroom adds a splash of colour, it also helps improve air quality too. With the focus of many home improvement projects being a bathroom improvement, homeowners often opt for an all-white look that works for resale, so greenery adds colour and life to this stark canvas.

It's so easy to makeover any bathroom for a light and airy feel by taking inspiration from cottage style bathrooms. Starting with a simple white bathroom suite - all you need are a few added touches to transform your bathroom into a cottage style retreat.
Light your way to a designer bathroom
