2. Determine Your Color Palette

Color plays a vital role in setting the mood of your bathroom. Consider these approaches:

• Neutral Tones: Whites, grays, and beiges create a serene backdrop that feels spacious and clean.
• Bold Accents: Incorporate vibrant colors through accessories like towels, rugs, or artwork to add personality without overwhelming the space.
• Monochromatic Schemes: Choose varying shades of a single color for a sophisticated and cohesive look.

Tip: Use paint samples or digital mood board tools to visualize how different colors will work together.

3. Select Your Fixtures and Fittings

The fixtures you choose can significantly influence your bathroom's style. Here are some tips:

• Vanities: Choose a style that complements your overall theme – curved and modern or vintage and ornate. Discover our latest vanity range.
• Faucets: Opt for finishes that match your aesthetic, like chrome for modern bathroom or brushed nickel for a coastal aesthetic.
• Lighting: Incorporate stylish fixtures that provide both function and ambiance. Consider downlights or pendant lights based on your style.

Tip: Don't overlook functionality! Ensure your choices serve both style and practicality.

Textures and materials add depth and interest to your bathroom design. Consider the following:

• Natural Elements: Introduce materials like wood, stone, or bamboo to bring warmth and a touch of nature.
