1 bathroom - 3 ways
Take one bathroom and transform with three different looks, each one giving a totally contrasting feeling to the same space.
Fresh apple and lilac
Crisp apple green teamed with just a few touches of up-to-the-minute lime and soft lavender are great for adding a light, airy feel to the bathroom and will give the illusion of a bigger, brighter room.
The painted white furniture helps to create a classic country look, while using carpet to the floor makes it feel luxurious
Choose furniture that's functional and ties in well with the look and style of the room.
Striking khaki and raspberry
This eye-catching colour scheme is best for a large space, but can work just as well in a smaller room with a big window and lots of light. The hot pink is an unusual choice to add a dramatic contrast to khaki - aim for accents of pink around the room as a little goes a long way.
Avoid using fabric or fussy curtain styles at a window over your bath. Instead, use a practical bamboo roller blind which coordinates well with the other accessories.
Elegant beige and walnut
A harmonious mix of warm-coloured naturals teamed with deep-toned wood furniture that works in any size bathroom to create a smart, sophisticated look. To add a strong contrast to the rich dark tones introduce a collection of accessories in shades of purple and plum
Space-saving storage units are a great way to keep everything in order in the bathroom, but choose a mix of open cabinets to display pretty coordinating accessories.
